AN ECOFEMINIST READING OF MARGE PIERCY’S WOMAN ON THE EDGE OF TIME

Abstract

Feminist edebiyatın mihenk taşlarından biri olarak
görülen Zamanın Ucundaki Kadın (1976),
yirminci yüzyılın (günümüzde de yaşanmaya devam eden) başta çevresel bozulma,
hayvan ve bitki yaşamının yok edilmesi ve kadınların gördüğü zulüm olmak üzere
pekçok sorununu eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla irdeler. Roman hiç şüphesiz
yaşadığı dönemin ve sınıfın bir ürünü olan otuzyedi yaşında meksika kökenli
Connie adında bir kadının hikayesini anlatır. Hayatı boyunca birçok erkek
tarafından kötü muameleye uğrayan Connie bedbaht bir yaşam sürmeye mahkum olur.
Yeğenini onu erkeklere pazarlayan (aynı zamanda sevgilisi) adamdan korumaya
çalışırken ikinci kez bir kliniğe yatırılır ve bu süreçte daha da beter
aşağılanmaya ve ötekileştirilmeye maruz kalır. Klinikte yatarken onunla
iletişime geçen Luciente, Connie’yi kendi dünyasından oldukça farklı geleceğe
ait ütopist bir dünyaya götürür. Bu gözlemler ışığında bu makalenin amacı, romanın kapitalist
ataerkillik ve daha adaletli bir toplum tahayyülüne vurgu yaparak onu
ekofeminist bir bakış açısıyla incelemektir.
