This claim is grounded on the fact that ecofeminism, and more spe- cifically animal ecofeminism, was the critical position which really launched the study of the connections between women and animals, and their related structures of oppression, sexism and speciesism.
Although it is true that Carol J. Today animals are already recognized as a suitable academic topic in the humanities as is shown by many of the conferences, associations, journals, graduate programs and books mentioned in review works by Kenneth Shapiro, Marion W. However, as Gaard repeatedly mentions, when it comes to connecting women and animals, scholars working in critical animal studies prefer to be cautious, and avoid using labels such as ecofeminism due to the peril of being accused of essentialism.
In actual fact, partly as a consequence of this need to claim the role both feminism and ecofeminism have played as theoretical foundation of animal studies, a special issue of the journal of feminist philosophy Hypatia under the title of Animal Others was published in the summer of From a theoretical point of view, ecofeminism explores the oppression of women and connects it to that of nature, thus it would have been only logical to expect that it would have also dealt with the oppression of animals from its beginning, but this was not the case.
So, although since its birth in the late s, ecofeminism had analyzed the workings of other systems of oppression outside of the sphere of sexism and naturism — racism, classism, heterosex- ism, ageism, and disability — it had to wait until to include speciesism.
Nonetheless the question of the animal remained an uncomfortable one due 5. This was so much so that some ecofeminists even rejected having to include this issue in their explorations. But, as Gaard explains, when no one cared about the animal in academia, at least a few ecofeminists dared to bring up the nonhuman as a subject of exploration, meeting with the rejection of their colleagues who discouraged the lack of seriousness of such endeavor. The exploration of these images will finally allow me to prove how animal studies cannot efficiently deal with the animal question without considering related forms of oppression such as those pinpointed by animal ecofeminism.
Animal Ecofeminism Revisited To begin with, it is interesting to observe how the same forces that motivated the appearance of animal ecofeminism are still at play making this philosoph- ical movement alive.
These forces are, according to Gaard, the experience of sympathy for nonhuman animals, the development of animal liberation theories, the countercultural movements of the s and s, as well as feminism.
Sympa- thy is at the root of a paradigm shift that has led to new and groundbreaking ways of looking at the animal from an ethical, a philosophical, a scientific, and a literary point of view. Interestingly, he does not say a word about some of his predecessors in this attempt at creating a compassionate science, nineteenth-century women physicians like Elizabeth Blackwell and Arabella Kingsford, nor does he con- sider the impact that the feminist care tradition has had in developing a more compassionate approach to animals in science.
This is precisely one of the issues that Josephine Donovan and Carol J. However, other authors with an interest in feminist studies have not omitted such a contribution when speaking of new epistemological ways of approach- ing animals. Bradshaw, a practitioner of trans-species psychology, a field she developed as a result of her discovery of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTDS in elephants, promotes fusing sensibility and science for the enhancement of trans-species dialogue. In the humanities, Marion W.
However, it can be said that in a point of convergence was reached between the two with the founda- tion of the Great Ape Project, an initiative that led to the publication of a book edited by Peter Singer himself, former leading voice of the welfare-oriented approach, and Paola Cavalieri.
In this book thirty-four authors coming from very different fields promote a defense of three basic rights for great apes: the right to life, protection of individual liberty, and prohibition of torture. It is seen therefore as too human as well as too intellectualized because of its appreci- ation of those characteristics that situate animals close to humans. Animal ecofeminists offer more imaginative and comprehensive solutions.
Kelly Oli- ver, for instance, thinks that the rights discourse is limited when applied to animals. Scientists have demonstrated the connection between diet and global warming. Anthony J. McMichael, John W. Powles, Colin D. Butler, and Ricardo Uauy have shown that a fifth of total greenhouse-gas emissions is produced by agricultural activity, especially livestock production. Adams eds.
Butler, and Ricardo Uauy. These and other scientific considerations have been taken into account by the United Nations which recently published as one of its top climate change publications the Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone where it points out the need to efficiently manage livestock manure, one of the main sources of CH4 emissions.
This coincides with the defense of a vegetarian diet, or at least a conscious diet, by animal ecofeminists, although it is true that the reason for change is not so much the eradication of the suffering of animals as the mitigation of a problem caused by an anthropocentric world system. This became the first literary anthology to consider animal literature written by women, and it showcased how the literary imagination of women has always been potently inspired by animals.
Gaard also mentions how feminists have found in language one of the main instruments for the objectification of both She also connected the workings of such linguistic oppression with that suffered by other groups among which she included women and people of color in Animal Equality: Language and Liberation.
In general, it can be said that today there is still a strong intellectual and emo- tional connection between women and animal liberation activism which was born in the late eighteenth century and is attested today in recent books such as Sister Species: Women, Species and Social Justice by Lisa A.
The Woman-Animal Association in Images This brief review of recent ecofeminist publications shows that animal ecofeminism is still alive and contributes to the debate about women and animals with new and provocative ideas that need to be taken into account if there is a true intention to end animal oppression.
In order to prove that animal ecofeminism is essential for questioning the role that traditionally has been assigned to women and animals by a Western mentality, I now intend to analyze images that still convey the long-held association between women and animals.
These images come from the world of advertising, animal activism campaigns, and fashion. They reflect how the expression of this association in visual form can sometimes serve as an instrument of liberation whilst at other times it fosters the oppression of one of the groups involved. Traditionally, talk about the woman-animal association has been met by accusations of essentialism.
However, the association between the two has been present in the Western world since antiquity. In Greece, for example, goddess Artemis was connected to wilderness and hunting. This idea caught on in the minds of her readership and the book remained for two years in the New York Times selling list.
As Mary Midgley explains, such identification with wild nature is rooted in the association of women with what is irrational, with materiality and the corpo- Ian Johnston. Arlington, VI, Richer, Lines , p. In this respect, animal ecofeminists, have analyzed the ways in which forms of aggression affecting women—battering, pornography, rape—and animals—animal abuse, animals as food and entertainment, hunting—often run parallel to each other see Figure 1. This consumption adopts different forms.
In the case of animals the most obvious example is that of eating their meat, to which Adams has paid attention. By being classified as food, animals lose their status as sentient beings and are commodified as meat.
This becoming meat implies an erasure of subjectivity, of which there is even linguistic proof. In many languages, for example, the words used to describe the living animal are different from those used to describe the dead animal that is served as food. This is so in English in the case of the cow that is turned into beef, the pig which is turned into pork, or the sheep which is referred to as mutton.
But animals do not necessarily need to be eaten in order to be spoken of as objects of consumption. They can also be consumed as objects of entertainment in races, circuses, rodeos or fighting events. Likewise women are often turned into consumable bodies in patriarchal societies. Their individuality is then erased and they become ani- malized by being designated as chicks, bitches or bunnies.
Furthermore their supposedly animal nature translates often into the sexualization of images of women that describe them as subservient to men, innocent and helpless creatures, or else as ferocious women waiting to be tamed or hunted.
