Sumario:This essay emerges from the need to systematize briefly and concisely some of the positions that have been considered ecofeminist. Despite having emerged as a concept in the second wave of feminism, ecofeminism is currently experiencing a renewed interest, highlighted mainly in a growing number of varied publications and local and global activisms, necessary to face the visible environmental crisis. This work is proposed as a preliminary and incomplete space, which attempts to describe the intersection of two journeys that are permanently intertwined: feminism and ecologism. Although it does not pretend to be a state of the art that contemplates all the problems and thematic subareas around ecofeminism, this essay is proposed as a guide to discern its various positions and postulate them as an alternative perspective from which to think about other forms of living. Finally, the notion of Tentacular Situated Ecofeminism is proposed, inspired by Haraway's notions, as an approach that emerges from the complex webs of the different ecofeminist trajectories described.
