Abstract
L’ecofemminismo, con le sue radici nell’analisi intersezionale, evidenzia le connessioni tra il dominio sulla natura e l’oppressione delle donne. Questa categoria di analisi integra i principi dell’ecologia e del femminismo, promuovendo una filosofia che ripensa l’attuale modello sociale e posiziona l’individuo in relazione con gli altri e con l’ambiente naturale. Il romanzo eco-distopico di Maria Rosa Cutrufelli, L’isola delle madri, proietta una luce anticipatoria sugli impatti su natura e società di un mondo fondato su principi biocidi ed ecocidi. Descrive una società scaturita da politiche ed economie egemoniche, concentrate sul guadagno immediato, disgiunte dalla vita, dalla terra e dai corpi. Questa eco-distopia, illustrata magistralmente da Cutrufelli, si rivela scenario di oscure conseguenze di un’era post-naturale. Attraverso l’ottica dell’ecofemminismo, il saggio analizza i temi centrali del romanzo quali la distruzione della biodiversità e
l’infertilità, risultati di un malinteso concetto di sviluppo. Lo studio si estende oltre il testo letterario, esaminando il contesto socioculturale per esplorare come l’ecodistopia, oltre a essere un genere letterario, diventi un incisivo strumento di critica sociale e ambientale.
Ecofeminism, with its roots in intersectional analysis, highlights the connections between dominion over nature and the oppression of women. This analytical category integrates the principles of ecology and feminism, promoting a philosophy that rethinks the social model and positions the individual in relation to others and the natural environment. The eco-dystopian novel by Maria Rosa Cutrufelli, L’isola delle madri, casts an anticipatory light on the impacts on nature and society of a world founded on biocidal and ecocidal principles. It describes a society born from hegemonic politics and economies, focused on immediate gain, detached from life, the earth, and the body. This eco-dystopia, masterfully depicted by Cutrufelli, emerges as a scenario of dark consequences of a post-natural era. Through the lens of ecofeminism, the essay analyzes the central themes of the novel such as the destruction of biodiversity and infertility, the results of a misunderstood concept of development. The study extends beyond the literary text, examining the sociocultural context to explore how eco-dystopia, in addition to being a literary genre, becomes a sharp tool for social and environmental critique.
