    Composing with Gaia: Isabelle Stengers and the Feminist Politics of the Earth.Miriam Tola - 2016 - PhaenEx 11 (1):1-21.
    This essay brings the work of Isabelle Stengers into the fold of feminism to propose a feminist politics of the earth that disrupts the fantasy of human exceptionalism underpinning much Anthropocene discourse. I begin by situating Stengers’s political use of Gaia theory in current debates on the Anthropocene. Next, I show how Stengers’s reworking of Gaia helps in reconsidering the relations between two bodies of feminist theory—Deleuzian feminism and Marxist ecofeminism—that are rarely brought into conversation. On this basis, I explore (...)

    Reinventing Socio-Ecological Reproduction, Designing a Feminist Logistics: Perspectives from Italy.Tania Rispoli & Miriam Tola - 2020 - Feminist Studies 46 (3):663.
    This essay focuses on the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. We show that neoliberalization and the dismantling of community health services played a major role in turning Northern Italy into a shattered “lazaret”. Moreover, considering Italian activists’ responses to the pandemic, we suggest that they point toward a reinvention of reproduction along two main axes. First, they bring feminist insights to bear with the ecological crisis that created the conditions for COVID-19. In so doing, they direct attention to (...)
