Episode number three in our four part series on philosopher Kate Soper's Book, What Is Nature? In this episode, I look at the relationship between discourses of nature and sexual politics, specifically regarding feminism, gender theory, and queer theory. Ecofeminism features prominently in this episode, as Soper explores the parallels between the structures that oppress and exploit nature and the structures that oppress women and sexual and gender minorities. If you haven't heard the first two parts of this series yet, I recommend listening to those first, as we're going to be building on some of the earlier discussions. You can find links to those right here: Episode 1 -- Nature and Culture Episode 2 -- Human and Inhuman Here's a link to the statue I mentioned, "Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science" Once again, I mentioned a few philosophers who I only touched on briefly. If you're interested in learning more about them, you can get started with some of the links below: Ecofeminism: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on Ecofeminism Simone de Beauvoir: Introduction to The Second Sex Carolyn Merchant: Good Reads: The Death of Nature “The Scientific Revolution and The Death of Nature” Susan Bordo: “Feminism, Foucault, and the politics of the body” Michel Foucault: Queer Bible Hermeneutics: Sexuality as a Construct (Foucault) The History of Sexuality
