Resumen

Teniendo en cuenta las teorías del feminismo material sobre “agencia”, “materia”, y “cuerpo,” este ensayo analiza hasta qué punto el feminismo material y la transcorporeidad pueden ser considerados como modelos productivos para conceptualizar la ecocrítica feminista, una teoría ecocrítica anti-falocéntrica que analiza la compleja dinámica de las agencias materiales a través de cuerpos humanos y no humanos. El hecho de cuestionar las dualidades de género y las fronteras corporales abre nuevos caminos ecocríticos para deconstruir los discursos sexistas, especistas y homófobos de la naturaleza que sirvieron como estrategia retórica para asociar a las mujeres y los homosexuales con seres animales/ naturaleza. La ecocrítica feminista es también una forma de crítica literaria que examina estas cuestiones a través de los textos literarios. La novela Gain de Richard Powers ofrece un ejemplo palpable que pone de relieve la permeabilidad de las naturalezas corporales.
