UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Copyright by Karla Marie Armbruster 1996 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines contemporary American literary and cultural texts that share the stance of environmental advocacy, "speaking for" the rights or interests of nonhuman nature by challenging dominant Western ideologies which construct humanity as separate from and superior to nature. While such advocacy is essential in contemporary American culture, we cannot uncritically accept that texts which speak for nature are selflessly motivated or politically effective. Consequently, I adapt feminist theories about the problems of speaking for others to explore how texts of environmental advocacy are often undermined and infiltrated by traces of the ideologies they seek to transform. In this exploration, I focus on three issues: constructions of human subjectivity, conceptions of human relationships with nature and the role of language(s) in mediating those relationships, and representations of nature itself. I examine the construction of human subjectivity in texts that highlight the connections between nature and traditionally oppressed groups of people such as women and Native Americans; these texts include works by ecofeminists and non-native writers who hold out Native American cultures as models of ecological responsibility, autobiographical nonfiction by Dian Fossey, Alice Walker and Terry Tempest Williams, and fiction by Ursula Le Guin. To explore concepts of the relationship between humans and nature, I turn to the work of wilderness advocates Dave Foreman and Edward Abbey, the nonfiction of Gary Snyder, and the scientific theories of James Lovelock and Wes Jackson. To examine representations of the nonhuman, I discuss the visual texts of print advertisements and television documentaries. While some of these texts alienate humans from the natural world and each other by constructing falsely unified, static pictures that erase differences within the human subject, between humans and nature, and within the natural world, others resist such constructions. Instead, they work towards a view of the world as complex and shifting, in which humans and nature shape each other through innumerable relationships that produce differences as well as commonalities. Ultimately, I argue that critical reflection on the practice of environmental advocacy can positively transform the ways we represent and enact our relationships with the rest of nature. m To my parents, who taught me to respect and care for other living things. IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to Lewis Ulman, my dissertation adviser, for the extraordinary level of support and enthusiasm he provided for this project from beginning to end, no matter what the weight of his other responsibilities. His guidance made this process a truly enriching one for me, both intellectually and professionally. I am also indebted to the other members of my committee, Marlene Longenecker and Barbara Rigney, for their valuable advice and interest in this dissertation. In addition, a number of other colleagues and friends contributed to my work by reading either portions of the actual dissertation or drafts of articles taken from it; I would like to thank Ralph Bauer, Tom Bredehoft, Brenda Brueggemann, Pete Coogan, Kathy Davies, Greg Garvey, Nick Howe, Beth Ina, Rosemary Johnsen, Gretchen Legler, and Kathy Wallace for their helpful comments. Of course, I could never have completed this process without the encouragement and understanding of the many friends and family members who helped me in a multitude of ways. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the students with whom I have shared many of the texts discussed in this dissertation; the enthusiasm and intellectual engagement they showed in response to authors such as Alice Walker, Ursula Le Guin, Terry Tempest Williams, and Edward Abbey helped sustain my own interest in the topic of environmental advocacy and inspired me to think about it in new ways.

  • Coloring Their World: Americans and Decorative Color in the Nineteenth Century
    Coloring Their World: Americans and Decorative Color in the Nineteenth Century A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kelly F. Wright B.A. College of William and Mary 1985 M.A. University of Cincinnati 2001 Committee Chair: Wayne K. Durrill, Ph.D. i ABSTRACT Certain events in recent history have called into question some long-held assumptions about the colors of our material history. The controversy over the cleaning of the Sistine Chapel posited questions about color to an international audience, and in the United States the restoration of original decorative colors at the homes of many historically significant figures and religious groups has elicited a visceral reaction suggesting the new colors challenge Americans’ entrenched notions of what constituted respectable taste, if not comportment, in their forebears. Recent studies have even demonstrated that something as seemingly objective as photography has greatly misled us about the appearance of our past. We tend to see the nineteenth century as a faded, sepia-toned monochrome. But nothing could be further from the truth. Coloring Their World: Americans and Decorative Color in the Nineteenth Century, argues that in that century we can witness one of the only true democratizations in American history—the diffusion of color throughout every level of society. In the eighteenth century American aristocrats brandished color like a weapon, carefully crafting the material world around them as a critical part of their political and social identities, cognizant of the power afforded them by color’s correct use, and the consequences of failure.

  • 47 Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta
    Author: Gaard, Greta Title: Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta Gaard University of Wisconsin-River Falls Interdisciplinarity, multiculturalism, internationalism—according to Cheryll Glotfelty, these are crucial areas for ecocriticism’s continued development. Drawing on fifty years of interdisciplinary work in Women’s Studies, ecofeminist literary critics with a history of work in multiculturalism would seem well poised to offer bridging strategies toward an international ecocriticism. Are there insights we can draw from the analyses of multicultural feminisms within the United States to guide the development of ecofeminist literary criticisms cross-culturally? What features of this ecocriticism will need to change? For if both feminism and ecocriticism are grounded in specific material, cultural, and economic relations to place and history, then ecofeminist literary criticism cannot be expected to remain the same from one set of eco-social relations to the next. Like much of ecocriticism, ecofeminist literary criticism is grounded in activism, and committed to using literary criticism as a strategy for ecodefense. In the west, ecofeminism is an environmental theory and practice that developed in the 1980s through antinuclear peace protests at Greenham Common in England, as well as at Seneca Falls and at the Vol. 1 Vol. Women’s Pentagon Actions; it has roots in feminist vegetarianism through Feminists for Animal Rights, antiracist feminism through the Woman Earth Feminist Peace Institute, No. 1 feminist earth-based spiritualities and feminist political engagements as well as through the international Green movement. After nearly two decades of activist and theorized engagements, ecofeminist literary criticism took root in U.S., Australian, and European ecocriticism, reaching ecocritics in Japan, China, and Taiwan in the past decade.

Queer Ecologies: Sex, Nature, Politics, Desire. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2010. GRETA GAARD Drawing on a range of queer and ecological theories rather a single ortho- dox perspective, the thirteen essays in Queer Ecologies develop a strong argument for queering environmentalisms and greening queer theory, in three steps: challenging the heteronormativity of investigations into the ‘sexuality’ of nature, exploring the intersections between queer and ecological inflections of bio/politics (including spatial politics), and ulti- mately queering environmental affect, ethics, and desire. Clearly, notions of sexuality have shaped social constructions of nature, as seen in the familiar concepts and creation of wilderness, national and urban parks, and car camping. As the first book-length volume to establish the inter- sections of queer theory and environmentalisms at such depth, Queer Ecologies covers a broad range of topics—gay cruising in the parks, les- bian rural retreats, transgressive sexual behaviors among diverse species, literary and cultural narratives of queer/nature. It also establishes topics for future development, i.e., exploring the intersection of speciesism and heterosexism in queer ecologies, and developing a focus on the constitu- tion of the non-white queer subject.
