Speaking from the South of Europe

Abstract

Almost forty years after the invention of the term ecofeminism by Françoise d’Eaubonne, there now exists a wide range of theoretical positions and practises that we can call ecofeminist. The different intellectual, historical, social and economic situations from which they have arisen explain this diversity. Nonexistent until a few years ago in the South of Europe, the interest in this subject matter is currently increasing. In this paper I will speak about the focal points of the ecofeminist philosophy developed in my recent research illustrating its links with the Iberian and Latin American background.
