Ecofeminist Poetry in Light of Gianni Vattimo’s Thought

Abstract

This article explores poetry with ecofeminist traits in light of Gianni Vattimo’s thought, particularly his notion of "weak thought." It examines how ecofeminism, by challenging hegemonic metanarratives, shares with Vattimo’s hermeneutics an openness to multiple meanings and a resistance to power structures that subordinate both women and nature. Through the study of poems by various authors, four key interpellations of ecofeminist poetry are identified: political, ecological, poietic, and ethical-spiritual. The article highlights how poetry not only gives voice to silenced experiences but also serves as a tool for resistance and transformation, promoting an ethics of care and a reconfiguration of our relationship with nature.
