Abstract

This article explores the poetics and politics of the new canon, feminist critical dystopia and exclusion of Nature to adore potential activism and rebellion in the text The Stone Gods (2007) by Jeanette Winterson. This comparative study of selected work sheds light on the issues of female objectification, oppression of marginalized and devalued nature in beleaguered patriarchal society in order to create the possibility of escape from dystopian nightmare and environmental ruin in the perspective of ecofeminist theoretical framework. This study deals with the ecofeminist basic stance that the oppression of women, marginalized and domination of nature are interconnected. The ecofeminist theoretical framework proves an instrumental support to throw light on oppressive cultural philosophies and their implications specifically in the backdrop of negative fallouts of technological world. The article hypothesizes that the dystopian atmosphere assists women writers in creating an authentic image of the engendered behavior and its impact on women, Others and Nature.
