Living as Waste-Bodies in a Dump: Feral Sociality and Ecofeminist Education of Ecotone
Hyena Kim
Gender and Education, v36 n4 p312-327 2024
Living in a wasted world is an educational problem that requires a radical shift in more-than-human relationships. Education has served as a means for re/producing socio-ecological waste by legitimizing discrimination among earthly beings. Ecofeminism reveals a common mechanism underlying different hierarchies as well as embodied connections between more-than-human beings. I explore an alternative way to envision more-than-human education in a wasted world by combining ecofeminism with other fields. First, the relationship between more-than-human subordination and more-than-human entanglement is investigated in terms of waste-bodies. As waste-bodies reflect a crisis of world reproduction, I examine how gendered reproduction, education, and waste reinforce each other while creating fissures. The ferality of waste-bodies breaks forth from the ruptures, forming a more-than-human sociality. This creates a space for an ecofeminist education of ecotone that appreciates the exuberance of the liminal. I suggest more-than-human education as a transspecies responsibility materialized through sensual kinship with the world.
