Angles and “limes” in American Studies: Ecofeminism in the research field

As an activist and research movement, ecofeminism is concerned with the interrelations between sexism, racism, speciesism and environmental degradation. Thus, from its beginning in the 1970s, the ecofeminist movement has argued that angles and “limes” between disciplines were not always as definite...

En tant que mouvement activiste militant et universitaire, l'écoféminisme s'intéresse aux corrélations entre sexisme, racisme, spécisme et dégradation environnementale. Depuis ses débuts dans les années 1970, la mouvance écoféministe a mis l'emphase sur le fait que les angles et les lignes séparatrices entre les disciplines n'étaient pas toujours aussi évidents qu'il apparaît. Cet article propose de puiser au sein des dernières évolutions dans le domaine des études écoféministes—notamment le fait que la critique littéraire écoféministe s'est, avec succès, servi de la littérature comme d'un espace tampon entre pratique et théorie—et au sein de ma propre expérience en tant que jeune chercheuse spécialisée en écoféminisme, afin d'illustrer l'approche que l'écoféminisme fait des limites et des angles. Il vise aussi à exposer comment les obstacles dépassés par la mouvance écoféministe en matière d'interdisciplinarité pourraient s'avérer utiles à l'évolution d'autres recherches interdisciplinaires dans les études anglo-américaines.
