EcoTechGender
-
Edited by:
The EcoTechGender series is dedicated to interdisciplinary topics from the fields of philosophy, economics, technology, environment, health, biology, migration, urban and rural architecture, geology, politics, biopolitics, etc. The series is designed to renew and expand the scientific approach from a feminist perspective.
The volumes give an impetus for social movement and a better social order. The sciences, which are shaping our future so decisively, continue the narrow scientific disciplines. Here, a space for thought is created in which the future is reconceptualized. Feminist analysis supports the development of an interrelational ontology based on the methodology of mutual recognition of life, nature and the biosphere to create a more objective science.
This series invites contributions from all academic disciplines concerned with these issues, including philosophy, economics, technology, environmental sciences, biology, medicine (health), biopolitics, migration studies, politics, law and architecture.
Any war has complex social and ecological consequences. The authors in this volume address many topics from multifacted perspectives, based on experience and history of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, and with an additional focus on women, women philosophers and scientists:
Gender and cultural dimensions of war; Ecocide and environmental destruction in Ukraine; Ukrainian women’s roles, identities, and resistance during wartime; sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon of war; urban destruction and cultural reconstruction; environmental and health consequences of war (including the Kakhovka Dam disaster); Ecocide as a global and existential challenge; Ukrainian environmental activism and ecological worldviews; Information warfare and propaganda; Linguistic and cultural representations of ecocide; internet and meme culture in wartime Ukraine; ecofeminist and literary perspectives on war; psychoanalytic and religious interpretations of war and trauma.
This makes a book not only a compelling and urgent read; the authors contribute to and advance the research on the interrelationships of war, gender, and ecology, which have mostly been studied separately.
