Abstract

The first text, "gender, the nonhuman world and social thought", presents the concept of eco-feminism by highlighting the links between environment, gender and social theory. The main movements within eco-feminism are explained with both their advantages and limits. The author chose three to summarize them in three movements: essentialist eco-feminism, materialist feminism and resistance eco-feminism. These schools share the idea that women and nature are linked but disagree whether this is a constructed analogy or not. The problematic of the will to overcome this association is the core question of eco-feminism, as eco-feminists wants to re-embed humanity in its environmental context. Disagreements emerge because of this paradoxical aim and of the definition of the so called "masculine" and "feminine" values.
