ECOFEMINISM
Book ID/图书代码： 14782014B68696
English Summary/英文概要： This groundbreaking work remains as relevant today as when it was when first published. Two of Zed’s best known authors, argue that ecological destruction and industrial catastrophes constitute a direct threat to everyday life, the maintenance of which has been made the particular responsibility of women. In both industrialized societies and the developing countries, the new wars the world is experiencing, violent ethnic chauvinisms and the malfunctioning of the economy also pose urgent questions for ecofeminists. Should women see a relationship between patriarchal oppression and the destruction of Nature in the name of profit and progress? How can they counter the violence inherent in these processes? Should they look to a link between the women’s movement and other social movements?
Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva offer a thought-provoking analysis of these and many other issues from a unique North-South perspective. They critique prevailing economic theories, conventional concepts of women’s emancipation, the myth of "catching up" development, the philosophical foundations of modern science and technology, and the omission of ethics when discussing so many questions including advances in reproductive technology as well as biotechnology.
In constructing their own ecofeminist epistemology and methodology, these two internationally respected feminists and environmental activists look to the potential of movements advocating consumer liberation and subsistence production, sustainability and regeneration; and they argue for an acceptance of limits and reciprocity, and a rejection of exploitation, the endless commoditization of needs, and violence.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部开创性著作中，两位享誉全球的学者指出：生态破坏与工业灾难构成了对日常生活的直接威胁，而维持这种日常生活则已成为女性的特定责任。无论是在工业化社会还是发展中国家，当今世界正经历的新战争、暴力的民族主义以及经济系统的失灵，都给生态女权主义者提出了亟待解答的问题。父权制压迫与以“利润”和“进步”之名对自然的破坏之间是否存在关联? 女性如何才能对抗这些进程中固有的暴力? 他们是否应探究妇女运动与其他社会运动之间的联系? 玛丽亚·米斯(Maria Mies)与万达娜·希瓦(Vandana Shiva)从独特的“南北视角”出发，对上述及诸多其他议题进行了发人深省的剖析；她们批判了现行的经济理论、传统的女性解放观念、“追赶式”发展的神话、现代科学与技术的哲学基础，以及在探讨包括生殖技术与生物技术进步在内的诸多问题时所忽视的伦理维度。在这两位享有国际声誉的女权主义环保活动家构建其自身的生态女权主义认识论与方法论的过程中，她们着眼于那些倡导消费解放、自给自足生产、可持续发展与生态再生的运动所蕴含的潜力。他们主张接纳限度与互惠原则，摒弃剥削、需求的无止境商品化以及暴力行为。(Sandy)
