Introduction: “The Greening (or Not) of America”
Feeding Green Fire
Aldo Leopold’s experience with a dying wolf and vision of ‘green ?re’ has led to green ?re becoming a ubiquitous signi?er of environmental concerns, while also understood as carrying a spiritual signi?cance. To explore this conjunction, I put Leopold in dialogue with aspects of Native American philosophy and science, and ecologically minded theologians and philosophers Mary Daly and Val Plumwood, ?nding a common theme of integrity. To understand …

Overkill: Why Excess and Conflict are both Sexy and Sacred
In popular understandings, both excess and conflict are understood as compelling, even ‘sexy’. Drawing from the perspectives of feminist theory, history, and theology, I consider the ways that patriarchal cultures eroticize possession, domination, and taboo violation, leading to this popular apprehension. I critique some of the ways that patriarchal conceptions of sex and God, both founded in a gendered conception of power as domination, intersec…
Green Consciousness: Earth-Based Myth and Meaning in Shrek
According to the 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a report compiled by 1,300 leading scientists from 95 countries, pollution and exploitative practices are damaging the planet at a rapid rate and to the point that the “ability of the planet’s ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted” (Connor, 2005). The planet, in response to this abuse, will no longer be so readily providing such “services” as purification…

Take Back What Doesn't Belong to Me”: Sexual violence, resistance and the “transmission of affect”
On the Lap of Necessity: A Mythic Reading of Teresa Brennan's Energetics Philosophy
In several works Teresa Brennan examines how, contrary to social notions of the separate and contained self, all that exists in the natural world is connected energetically. She identifies a “foundational fantasy” whereby the ego comes into existence and is maintained by the notion that it controls the mother. The effects of this fantasy are socially oppressive and, in the technological era, environmentally disastrous. M;y examination of narrativ…

The Second Coming of Diana
The realm of the mythic or sacred arguably provides the power source for Diana Spencer's remarkable interaction with a global public and with history. Extensive resonance exists between the ancient myth of the Goddess Diana and the myth unfolding around the Princess. Popular response to Diana is often dismissed as media manipulation, but it represents an oral tradition rooted in knowledges discredited by racism, upward mobility, misogyny, male su…

Connections include a nuclear-father figure, one who threatens dependents while purportedly protecting them; the desecration of the future; the betrayal of trust; insidious long-term effects after initial harm; the shattering of safety; the cult of secrecy, aided by psychological defenses of denial, numbing, and splitt…

The Sexual Politics of Murder
In mainstream discussion, violent crimes against women frequently are presented as inexplicable and their perpetrators as social deviants. Feminists have argued for an awareness of the sexually political and conformist nature of such crimes and have invented the word gynocide to name the range of systematic violence against women by men. I look at the issues raised by three recent manifestations of gynocide in the United States: the battering of …
