Women in Nature, Women in Culture: Ecofeminism and Simona Vinci's Agosto Nero (Critical Essay‪)‬

Disrupting the opposition between nature and culture opens up spaces for feminisms that neither totally affirm nor totally deny difference. Feminism can instead cobble together a myriad of adulterated alternatives that neither seek an unattained, utterly female space outside of culture nor cast off bodies, matter, and nature as that which is forever debased. Since the opposition between nature and culture is so fundamental to Western thought, however, reformulating these categories is no small matter. (Stacy Alaimo, Undomesticated Ground 10)
