“Nature-other”: A posthuman feminist reading of Jeanette Winterson’s The STone Gods

Intersecting Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminist praxes with Tanaka Shozo’s environmental philosophy and activism provides a solid theoretical and practical approach to the reconstitution of the political sphere that opens space for conversation with the “Nature-Other” in its departure from anthropocentric confines of “normality” and advocates for a vision of the posthuman feminist body as an experimental site that foregrounds a complexity in the “feminist genealogy” (Braidotti, 690) to better produce effects of nagare (flow) and stun consequences of doku (poison).
