초록
This paper aims to search the similarities between the aspects of ecofeminism in the SF film, Avatar, and those already suggested in Gearhart’s feminist novel, The Wanderground. The story of Avatar includes the conflicts between the Earthians and Na’vi people on the planet Pandora. The Earth is devastated from wars and violence, derived from men’s desire and power struggle. On the other hand, Na’vi people enjoy a peaceful life under Home-tree, communing with the nature and respecting Goddess Eiwa. Also in The Wanderground, Hill women flee from the men’s violence in ‘the City,’ and then lead a lesbian community in the mountain. They live in a harmony with the nature, communicating telepathically, not only with each other but also with plants and animals. They get the power and abilities breathing in the Earth Mother. Regardless of the genres and time intervals, both Avatar and The Wanderground reveal the elements of ecofeminism through an utopian community flourishing with women’s affection and union. In conclusion, Avatar successfully embodies a wonderground of ecofeminism that Gearhart pursued in her feminist novel thirty years ago. (Jeonju University)
