영문 초록

In this paper, I argue how posthuman feminists such as Rosi Braidotti deconstruct the relationship between women and nature which has been connected in many ways. The reason of the deconstruction for Braidotti is that connection between women and nature in many ways lead another type of anthropocentrism. Meanwhile the parties which relate women and nature seek the improvement of women and nature because they , for example, Ecofeminists see that there is close relationship between the degradation of women and that of nature. In this way I introduce mainly two types of views on the re lationship between women and nature. After investigating post human feminists’ management of the connection between women and nature, I will move to Ecstatic naturalism’s assumptions about ‘women and nature’ which in some ways connects to Ecofeminism’s perspective. When Robert Corrington explains ‘selving process’ and chora, it seems like he ties nurturing (and giving birth) with nature. This assumption does not fit well with his suggestion that ‘nature naturing’ cannot be fully expressed in human language and sign because nature exceeds human gender identity and traits. In this way , I would like to delicately argue that in what ways ‘nature’ can be connected or disconnected with women in academic discourses of posthuman feminisms and Ecstatic naturalism.
