Displacements of hegemonic discourses in feminist theory: ecofeminism and animalism as new perspectives

Abstract

In this article, I will follow Teresa de Lauretis’ hypothesis: the theme of feminism is organized in a multiple, unstable and historically discontinuous manner, and is the product of interpersonal and political contexts, that is, of a constant discursive and practical struggle. We will mainly deal with the essays Eccentric Subjects: Feminist Theory and Historical Consciousness and The Displacement of Hegemonic Discourses: reflections on the feminist theory of 1980, to account for the versatility of feminism, and apply what this author maintains, especially in relation to the connection with the ecology and animalism theory that also began at the middle of the past century. The theoretical enrichment, by incorporating these themes and analyzing them from a gender perspective, made possible to visualize dynamics that generate the exploitation of women and nature under the same androcentric and anthropocentric assumptions.
