Welcome to our second ELBOW Talk of the Season 2 by Senior University Lecturer Kuura Irni (University of Helsinki). Abstract of the talk below.
Reconciling Ecofeminism and Transfeminism: Understanding ”Nature” in Trans and Animal Politics within Feminist Theory
In this talk I attempt a reconciliation of transfeminism and the critical strand of ecofeminism which is nowadays called vegan feminism, and which has been problematised as trans-exclusive because of problematic notions of gender and nature. I suggest that Donna Haraway’s notion of nature, as well as rereading her animal politics through a critical ecofeminist lense, are key to formulating a trans-inclusive ecofeminism. While Haraway herself has not exactly built transfeminist theory, her work has inspired key scholars in transfeminism and the emerging field of transecology, which, I argue, also benefit from thinking with an ecofeminist perspective.
