Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to describe analytically-critically the feminist theology (of women) and nature (ecology) that produces the conceptual movement of ecofeminism. Women and nature both suffer from injustice and oppression, and therefore the ecofeminism movement makes a theologically constructive contribution. A qualitative method is used in this article with a content analysis approach in discussing and then analyzing phenomena related to ecology and feminism. The results of this study show that ecofeminism fights for the life of creation from the Creator, especially nature and women who experience subordination through existing hierarchical structures. Ecofeminism also emphasizes the importance of humans to maintain and preserve nature as well as possible. Ecofeminism offers an attitude to be transformative, cooperative, and participatory in building a harmonious world equally between nature and humans, both women and men.Abstrak: Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah menjabarkan secara analitis-kritis tentang teologi feminis (perempuan) dan alam (ekologi) yang menghasilkan gerakan konseptual ekofeminisme. Perempuan dan alam sama-sama mendapatkan ketidakadilan dan penindasan, dan oleh karenanya gerakan ekofeminisme ini memberikan kontribusi yang konstruktif secara teologis. Metode kualitatif digunakan dalam artikel ini dengan pendekatan analisis konten dalam mendiskusikan kemudian menganalisa fenomena terkait ekologi dan feminisme. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa ekofeminisme memerjuangkan kehidupan ciptaan dari Sang Pencipta khususnya alam dan perempuan yang mengalami subordinasi lewat struktur hierarkis yang ada. Ekofeminisme juga menekankan bahwa pentingnya manusia untuk memelihara dan melestarikan alam sebaik mungkin. Ekofeminisme menawarkan sikap untuk menjadi transformatif, kooperatif, dan partisipatif dalam membangun dunia yang harmonis secara setara antara alam dan manusia baik perempuan maupun laki-laki.

Review

This article, "Kajian Ekofeminisme," sets out to provide an analytical and critical description of ecofeminism, stemming from the intersection of feminist theology and ecological concerns. The core premise, that women and nature both endure injustice and oppression, serves as the foundation for positioning ecofeminism as a theologically constructive movement. The methodology employs a qualitative approach with content analysis, intending to discuss and analyze phenomena related to ecology and feminism. This foundational framing promises a robust exploration of the conceptual underpinnings of ecofeminism and its relevance in addressing systemic issues of subordination. The study effectively articulates several key tenets of ecofeminism. It highlights its commitment to advocating for all creation from the Creator, with a particular focus on nature and women who experience subordination within existing hierarchical structures. Furthermore, the abstract emphasizes the crucial role of humans in preserving nature and promoting a transformative, cooperative, and participatory ethos. These findings underscore ecofeminism's vision for a harmonious and equitable world, balancing the relationship between nature and humanity, encompassing both women and men. The theological dimension woven throughout provides a distinct lens through which to engage with these concepts, potentially appealing to audiences interested in spiritual or faith-based approaches to environmental and social justice. While the abstract provides a clear overview of the article's aims and findings, the full paper would benefit from a more explicit demonstration of its "analytical-critical" contribution. Given that ecofeminism is a well-established field, a deeper engagement with specific ecofeminist theories, schools of thought, or even critiques of the movement, would strengthen the critical aspect. Furthermore, while the emphasis on "transformative, cooperative, and participatory" attitudes is valuable, exploring concrete examples or practical applications within specific contexts would further illuminate *how* ecofeminism facilitates these changes, especially in challenging existing hierarchical structures. Such an expansion would enhance the article's scholarly depth and its practical relevance for both academic and activist communities.
