41	Ecofeminism: towards integrating the concerns of women, poor people and nature into development Nhanenge, Jytte 02 1900 (has links) Ecofeminism perceives an interconnection between the domination of women and poor people, and the domination of nature. This domination is founded on modern, Western, patriarchal, dualised structures, which subordinate all considered as "the other" compared to the superior masculine archetype. Hence, all feminine is seen as inferior and may therefore be exploited. This is presently manifested in the neo-liberal economic development ideal. Its global penetration generates huge economic profits, which are reaped by Northern and Southern elites, while its devastating crises of poverty, violence, environmental destruction, and human rights abuses makes life increasingly unmanageable for Southern women, poor people and nature. Feminism and ecology have therefore come together aiming at liberating women, poor people and nature. They want to change the dualised, reductionist perception of reality into a holistic cosmology. Ecofeminism consequently aims to integrate the concerns of women, poor people and nature into development. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Ecological movements Green Belt movement Alternative world-views Systems theory Yin and yang Smuts' holism Economics and technology Feminist critique of science Development ethics Environmental ethics Development theory Post-development Post-modernism Patriarchal domination Global crises Poverty issues Gender issues Environment and development Women Feminism Ecofeminism Chipko movement 304.2082 Women environmentalists Ecofeminism Human ecology Women in development Women -- Social conditions Women -- Economic conditions Sustainable development Environmentalism Conservation of natural resources Women and the environment
