La ricerca di punti di contatto tra le istanze del femminismo abolizionista e quelle delle lotte ecofemministe si è moltiplicata negli ultimi vent’anni. La pubblicazione di Golden Gulag (2007), di Ruth W. Gilmore, fu pioniera di una serie di riflessioni su come la presenza e persistenza delle istituzioni carcerarie avesse un impatto deleterio sull’ambiente così come sulla vita e la so-pravvivenza delle donne. Il contributo intende riflettere sulle pratiche di cura educativa evincibili e suggerite dai contributi delle autrici femministe, ecologiste ed abolizioniste: perché l’orizzonte dell’abolizionismo carcerario è ecofemminista? quali sono le caratteristiche di pratiche educative interessate da una prospettiva femminista, decoloniale, ecologista e abolizionista?

Abstract
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing effort to identify points of convergence between the principles of abolitionist feminism and the struggles of ecofeminist movements. The publication of Golden Gulag (2007) by Black feminist geographer Ruth W. Gilmore was a groundbreaking contribution, sparking a series of reflections on how the presence and persistence of carceral institutions harm both the environment and the lives and survival of women. This paper aims to reflect on the educational care practices that can be inferred from and suggested by the contributions of ecofeminist and abolitionist authors. Why is thehorizon of prison abolition ecofeminist? What are the characteristics of educational practices shaped by a feminist, decolonial, ecological, and abolitionist perspective?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
