| Description | The global challenges of environmental devastation and gender-based injustice require a multifocal approach in appropriating effective solutions. While acknowledging the effectual endeavours initiated through the social and natural sciences to counteract these areas of degradation, this paper offers another field of potential mediation: ecofeminist literary criticism. Through its interrogation of selected works by the black South African writer, Sindiwe Magona, it seeks to reveal the value of literature as a tool to counteract destructive political and patriarchal rhetorical paradigms, which have served to oppress nature and women and, through ecofeminist discourse, mitigate lasting global change. Die globale uitdagings van omgewingsverwoesting en geslagsgebaseerde onreg vereis ’n multifokale benadering ten einde doeltreffende oplossings te vind. Terwyl erkenning gegee word aan die effektiewe pogings geïnisieer deur die sosiale en natuurwetenskappe om hierdie gebiede van agteruitgang te bekamp, bied die artikel verdere potensiële bemiddeling deur middel van die ekofeministiese literêre kritiek. Deur geselekteerde werke van die swart Suid-Afrikaanse skrywer Sindiwe Magona te ondersoek, beoog die artikel om die waarde van literatuur as ’n instrument teen die retoriese en vernietigende politieke en patriargale paradigmas wat die natuur en vroue onderdruk het, te openbaar. Dit beoog verder om deur middel van die ekofeministiese diskoers blywende globale verandering daar te stel. | |
