Material Feminism:A Keyword in Critical Theory

物质女权主义以波瑞德的物质自在性、艾雷默的跨躯体性、伯耐特的物质力为核心概念,提出物质、自然、人体因其内在的物质话语实践而具有自在性,表明有毒物质在不同类型躯体间的传递显现出人与环境之间的跨躯体性,倡导策略、谨慎对待环境的跨躯体物质伦理。物质女权主义因其独特的自然观、身体观与环境伦理观成为引领生态批评第四次浪潮的重要环境理论。

Material feminism, with Barad＇s material agency, Alaimo＇s trans-corporeality and Benett＇s thing power as its key concepts, advocates that the material-discursive practices form the agency of matter, nature and human bodies. The transmission of toxins among different kinds of bodies shows the trans-corporeality between the human body and its environment. Material feminism proposes the trans-corporeal ethic which encourages treatment of environment with strategies and precaution. With its own vision of nature, body and environmental ethics, material feminism is an important environmental theory which leads to the fourth wave of American ecocriticism.
