Abstract

This paper explores the representation of ecofeminist ideas in selected English and Uzbek postmodern literary texts. Drawing on both theoretical foundations and textual analysis, the study examines how postmodern aesthetics intersect with ecofeminist concerns, including environmental degradation, gender inequality, and resistance to patriarchal norms. Through comparative analysis, the article reveals how ecofeminism manifests in distinct cultural contexts while sharing universal themes of nature-woman interconnection, empowerment, and ecological justice.

Keywords

Ecofeminism, postmodern literature, English literature, Uzbek literature, gender, ecology, patriarchy, intertextuality.
