ABSTRACT
Feminist environmental scholarship is a rich field of research that critiques dominant ways of thinking about the environment as inanimate, objective and external to people. Instead of pristine, preconfigured and ‘out there’, feminist environmental scholarship encourages lines of research that advocate for rethinking it as performative and embodied. By encouraging scholarship that pushes further into the body, it is conceived as socio-material relationships that we all sense and ‘do’. The differential visceral intensities from the everyday, embodied encounters with food, water, plants, animals and things – like household appliances – thus provide vital clues to not only how we make sense of ourselves, but also our responsibilities towards others.
