Abstract

The study, entitled “The Connections between Woman and Nature in the Movie Script of Avatar by James Cameron", focuses on the types of women-nature connections that shown in Cameron’s Avatar movie script and uses the ecofeminism theory by Warren (1991) as the framework of the study. The aims of the study are to find the connection between women and nature and the impacts of mining industry development toward the continuity of the connections between women and nature. This study uses qualitative research which employs descriptive method with textual analysis approach. It employs ecofeminism perspective including several theories argued by Warren (1991), Shiva (1997), and Tong (2009), to analyze the textual evidence from the movie script entitled Avatar written by James Cameron (2007). The analysis reveals that in the movie script Avatar the types of connections between women and nature are historical connection, social connection, spiritual connection, experiential connection, and symbolic connection, but there are only two connections that are mostly shown in the text, spiritual connection and symbolic connection. Those five connections found in the findings are described in the ritual traditional ceremony, the way of the natives bound with the nature and symbolic pictures in the movie. Meanwhile, the impacts of mining industry development that mostly occur in the text are destruction of environment, violent action to the natives, deprivation of ancestral land rights, and military and company intimidation that caused modernization enforcement. It is found that those impacts of mining industry development especially the negative impacts of mining industry development, such as the destruction of environment and deprivation of ancestral land rights, will damage the importance of spiritual and symbolic connection towards women and nature. Furthermore, the impacts of violent action against women will destroy the social connection between women and nature that are bounded a long time ago.
