![]() ![]() ![]() Building on Karen Warren’s ecofeminist spiritualities that challenge the patriarchal system and its destructive beliefs, Ozeki’s Buddhist-ecofeminist spiritualities interrogate life-denying and self-aggrandizing practices justified by the dominant patriarchal power, such as building nuclear power plants and military aggression. Entangling new materialism with engaged Buddhism, Ozeki in this novel highlights the ecological interdependence between humans and non-human nature, underscores environmental problems intertwined with nuclear-industrial and military-industrial complexes, and exposes systematic violence, in/visible hazards, and harms on othered beings and nature. A Tale for the Time Being articulates from a Buddhist-ecofeminist perspective Ozeki’s ecological view of interconnected beings and her heightened awareness of increasing global ecological crisis. ![]()
