Ecofeminism as decolonial and transindividual ecology

by Chiara Botticci

Abstract: In this essay, I combine decolonial ecofeminism with a philosophy of transindividuality. The latter depicts a form of somatic communism, in which every individuality is conceived as a transindividuality, that is a process of becoming that takes place at the supra, inter and infra-individual level. By questioning all rigid boundaries, along with the hierarchies that they sustain, a transindividual ecology is also a queer ecology.

Keywords: feminism; ecology; coloniality; patriarchy; democracy.
