Abstract

Environmental degradation and gender oppression have been widely theorized as interconnected within ecofeminist discourse; however, existing scholarship has largely focused on canonical and large-scale dystopian narratives, leaving contemporary short fiction that explores these dynamics in intimate, post-apocalyptic contexts underexamined. Addressing this gap, this study analyzes how intersecting systems of ecological crisis and patriarchal domination are represented in A Girl at the End of the World by Prashanth Srivatsa. Drawing on the ecofeminist frameworks of Vandana Shiva and Val Plumwood, the research examines how the narrative critiques anthropocentric and patriarchal logics while reimagining ecological restoration.Using a qualitative descriptive design grounded in ecofeminist literary criticism, the study employs document analysis, thematic coding, and interpretive textual analysis to identify key ecofeminist patterns within the text. The findings reveal six central categoriesdomination, othering, ruin, ecological trauma, care ethics, and reclamationthat structure the narratives representation of the relationship between women and nature. The analysis further demonstrates that the female protagonist operates as a symbolic mediator of ecological renewal, transforming post-apocalyptic ruins into spaces of resistance, ethical care, and environmental regeneration.These findings underscore how contemporary dystopian fiction mobilizes localized, post-apocalyptic settings to reconfigure gendernature interdependence and challenge hierarchical humannature relations. By integrating ecofeminist theory with close textual analysis, this study contributes to gender- and environment-oriented literary criticism while extending ecofeminist inquiry into contemporary speculative fiction and discussions of ecological justice.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited scholarly attention to how feminist consciousness is narratively constructed through voice reclamation in contemporary African fiction, particularly within the intersecting forces of patriarchy and postcoloniality. Existing studies largely foreground themes of oppression but often neglect the linguistic and narrative mechanisms through which marginalized women negotiate and rearticulate agency. Focusing on And So I Roar by Abi Dar, this study examines how the protagonist reclaims her voice as a form of resistance within constraining socio-cultural structures. The study aims to analyze how narrative voice, agency, and self-representation function as strategies that move the protagonist from enforced silence to empowered speech. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research applies feminist textual analysis and close reading to identify narrative strategies, linguistic patterns, and symbolic acts. The analysis is informed by feminist literary criticism, subaltern feminist theory, and feminist linguistics. The findings reveal three key patterns: (1) narrative voice as resistance to patriarchal silencing, (2) agency expressed through storytelling and linguistic self-assertion, and (3) the transformation of personal speech into a collective political voice. These strategies position voice reclamation as both personal empowerment and a critique of patriarchal and colonial marginalization, contributing to African feminist literary scholarship and advancing discourse on gender justice.
