Fermenting Feminisms
An ecofeminst seminar

Against the backdrop of climate collapse, species extinction and capitalist ruins, we explore feminist-emancipatory perspectives on human-nature relations.

The seminar is dedicated to the inscriptions of patriarchal, Eurocentric, capitalist and anthropocentric domination in social relations to nature. Where are the connections and which hierarchies need to be broken down?

Fermenting, scattering spores and composting, we will test and reflect on theories of feminist political ecology, community economies, ecosexuality and queer ecofeminism.

An interplay of theoretical thinkers will be combined with creative approaches to reflect on human-nature relationships. In this way, participants acquire a basic understanding of ecological feminisms, involve bodily knowledge and together identify gaps in current theoretical positions.

The seminar serves to stimulate the imagination with regard to desirable and transformative human-nature relationships and to develop an attitude towards them.
