Exploring Theory And Application Of Ecofeminsim And Queer Ecologies

Abstract

Many ecofeminists see heterosexism as an issue, but there has yet to be a systematic investigation of the points of contact between ecofeminism and queer theory. It will be claimed that queer ecology's theoretical synthesis aids in expanding the conceptual and material scope of both disciplines. However, queer theory, posthumanism, and developing notions of complexity within the study of ecology have not yet been comprehensively connected with critical strands of urban ecology like urban political ecology. In contrast, this demonstrates queer theory's limited interaction with cityscapes.
