Paixões desnaturadas? Notas para uma ecologia queer
O presente artigo se propõe a pensar uma perspectiva queer para a ecologia política. Percebendo o heterossexismo como parte da rede opressiva de relações de poder, por meio da qual as relações humanas com a natureza são organizadas, Sandilands preocupase em propor um outro modo de vermos as relações entre natureza, seres humanos e sexualidade.

Queer Ecologies
A lively conversation about sexuality, nature, and environment
The Cultural Politics of Ecological Integrity
The 2000 Report of the Panel on the Ecological Integrity of Canada's NationalParks reveals important relations between ideas of "nature" and "nation" in Canada.Viewed historically, Canada's national parks have been organized by differentunderstandings of what parks are for, and especially what kinds of role they are toperform for the nation at particular historical junctures. This paper offers abroadly sketched view of that history over four peri…
Masculinity, Modernism, and the Ambivalence of Nature
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
Eco/Feminism on the Edge
In this commentary I extend and converse with Niamh Moore's account of ecofeminist politics at Clayoquot Sound during the 1993 peace camp. In agreeing with her argument that such activist moments are more complex than the charges of maternalism and essentialism that have been thrown at them, I support her genealogical approach to understanding the particular gender relations that unfolded during the protest. In addition, I suggest that an underst…
Queering Ecocultural Studies
This paper begins with Slack and Whitt's (‘Ethics and cultural studies’ in Cultural Studies, eds L. Grossberg et al., Routledge, New York, 1992) crucial imperative to cultural studies: that we need to (re)develop its normative commitment, and that ecological relations are the site from which to do so. Although their argument eventually relies on a problematic understanding of nature as an integrative totality ‘beyond’ culture, this paper maintain…
Unnatural Passions
In the opening of her 1997 memoir North Enough, Jan Zita Grover describes moving to the north woods of Minnesota from San Francisco: "I did not move to Minnesota for the north woods," she writes. "I had only the vaguest idea of what the term meant when I first saw them in early spring, the birch, aspen, and tamarack skinned of their needles and leaves. I thought they looked diseased. 2 Given that Grover had been a front-line AIDS worker in the 19…

Whose there is there, there? Queer Directions and Ecocritical Orientations
Key words: queer ecocriticism, environmental justice, ecophobia, performativity, normative heterosexuality This essay outlines the necessary role of queer ecocriticism as one of unsettling normative thinking about environmental issues and defamiliarizing some ecocritical practices. In particular, a queer ecocritic can propose a rethinking of what our reinhabitation of the world should be like. Other questions as the implications of the intersecti…
