Abstract:As an increasingly prominent global ecological issue, biocolonialism, whose theoretical purport lies in unearthing the common cultural roots of the destruction of nature and the oppression of women, has gradually come into the view of ecofeminism. Through a critical evaluation of "life patents", "life industries" and biotechnology, ecofeminism takes a comprehensive, and in-depth examination and a vivid and brilliant explanation of the causes, the operating mechanism, the features and impacts of biocolonialism, as well as a path to fight against it. Ecofeminist views are not only critical and deconstructive, but constructive and enlightening,and are very conducive to intensify our knowledge of the nature of biocolonialism. They encourage a gender perspective to rethink profoundly the new features of globalization, the new shift of the capitalism, and other related problems such as the new challenges to the relationship between technology and culture, or between science and ethics.
