Vandig tænkning og feministisk solidaritet. En teoretisk undersøgelse af hydrofeminisme
(2025) GNVM03 20251Department of Gender Studies
- Abstract
- This thesis is a theoretical study of thinking with water in relation to feminist theory of care, solidarity and ethics.

The thesis is in line with environmental humanities (Neimanis 2017; Åsberg 2020) in its call to expand and transcend academic disciplinary boundaries, combining environmental and humanistic practices. The thesis argues that hydrofeminism is a valuable framework to expand gender studies and feminism into transspecies waters. It also uses wateriness in its methodology and asks what a watery research process looks like. It draws on major theoretical works within feminist posthumanism and new materialism as well as fictional works dealing with water. (Less)
