FEMINIST ECOGOTHIC BODIES IN FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN AND ZAMANSIZ

Öz

This study examines representations of the abject and grotesque female body entangled with more-than-human worlds in contemporary women’s literature. Such representations challenge and seek to dismantle the patriarchal system that portrays female sexuality and the female body as excessive, repressed, and devoid of agency. The study builds its theoretical framework on Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection and Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the grotesque body, proposing an ecogothic, materialist feminist, and ecocritical perspective to explore the interaction between nature, gender, and intersecting systems of oppression. The study analyzes Fire on the Mountain by Anita Desai and Zamansız by Latife Tekin, as works that portray the abject and grotesque female body—marked by race, class, and gender—as a site of resistance against patriarchal domination over both nature and women. The analysis explores how the concepts of grotesque and abjection—associated by the patriarchal order with the non-normative female body—are defined through ideas about what is considered natural. It argues that the texts under examination present the abject female body, which transgresses boundaries and overturns hierarchies, as a carnivalesque form of rebellion that enables a redefinition of humanity and femininity from a non-anthropocentric perspective.
