This paper has two aims. The first is to build an ecofeminist position as a politics of resistance against the overwhelming ecological crisis of the present. The second is to demonstrate the theoretical-practical significance of the spirituality-nature-labor continuum through a reading of "The Hunt"(1994) by the Bengali female activist Mahasweta Devi. D. H. Lawrence`s conception of `spirituality` as the realization that all things are interrelated suffers from his obsession with the dark phallic principle, which is chained to a masculinist idealism that ignores everyday subsistence and productive labor. Unlike Lawrence, Vandana Shiva locates her concept of `spirituality` in nature and labor. Shiva interprets spirituality as the feminince principle of life and subsistence and then tries to expand it to all working men and minorities. This paper argues that Shiva`s conceptualization of spirituality must be further specified to focus on the position of women as subjects of nature and labor intersected by race, class, and sexuality. Reading "The Hunt" from this perspective allows us to hear the resistant spiritual voice of a tribal Indian woman who struggles in today`s capitalist patriarchal society, which can serve as a crucial resource for resolving the ecological crisis through counter-globalization.

The aim of this paper is to present a map of Postcolonial Feminisms which are generated by the critical consciousness of the imperialist racism of Western Feminisms. Postcolonial Feminisms are classified into Black Feminism, Third World Feminism, and Global Feminism. While exploring the difference among these three streams, this paper proposes an aesthetics of diaspora as a common ground of mapping them. This map would locate the critical meanings of sporadic literary criticisms on the english literature from the perspective of postcolonial women. Black Feminism illuminates both the racism of white men and women and the sexism of black men by focusing on the cultural politics of race and gender through the diasporic experiences of deracination and slavery. As a means of recovering black femininity, some Afro-American feminists pay attention to black women`s literature which provides new configurations of black women. This approach, however, tends to overlook the imperialistic mechanisms of the `racialized` capitalism. Third World Feminism emphasizes the locality of third world women as a site of resistance to the imperialistic capitalism. Here, the issue of how to represent the native woman exposed to the cultural discourses of third world nationalism and western imperialism is crucial. She is not pure but corrupted. This means she is already diasporic. Against the localized resistance, Global Feminism insists on the global frame of resistance and solidarity among women communities of various diasporic minorities, which makes us comprehensively recognize the literature of diaspora. To intersect globality, locality, and ethnicity from the perspective of the third world women would be a fruitful way of decolonizing.

This paper examines Beloved through the issue of the representation of Africa in terms of searching for the new value orientation in our era of globalization. To do that, first, the novel is not confined to the category of Black Woman Novel but expanded into the horizon of cultural negotiations between the continents of Africa and America. Then, Morrison``s aspect of employing the African cosmologies as the interpretive and aesthetic strategies of her novel is noticed and then the possibilities of desirable communities are elaborated from the position of African-American women. The major symbol of (West and Central) African cosmologies is ‘a cross within a circle`` which is inscribed under Sethe``s Africa-born mother Ma``am``s bosom. It speaks as Africa to Denver and Beloved as well as Sethe and makes all of them remember and worship African ancestors. Thus, the meaning of Africanness represented in Beloved can be defined and enlarged in the perspective of promoting intercontinental alliances against rigid racial boundaries and imagining the future of global communities based upon equality and respect.
