El artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo alterar las nociones antropocéntricas dominantes de la maternidad que se centran en la praxis multigeneracional de las relaciones entre humanos y, en cambio, arroja luz sobre la maternidad ecológica, que da cabida a diversas relaciones entre las mujeres y lo más que humano. Esta lectura heteropatriarcal desafía la personalidad antropocéntrica y las transiciones hacia la maternidad en narrativas antropogénicas como Migrations and Flight Behavior que percibe la maternidad como multiespecie inclusiva y transcorpórea. Las novelas tratan sobre la maternidad ecológica que permite tanto a las madres como a sus hijos (los charranes árticos en las migraciones y las mariposas monarca en el comportamiento de vuelo) la supervivencia y el sustento. La maternidad ofrecida por las mujeres en las narrativas climáticas desacredita radicalmente el proceso de “otredad” de lo más que humano al proponer una “madre-otra” (Collins y Michaels) que promueve la cohabitación y la justicia multiespecie. El artículo investigará más a fondo la praxis emocional y ecológica de la maternidad en medio de la toxificación antropogénica del calentamiento global, la extinción de especies y la reubicación. El ecologismo de la maternidad de Dellarobia en Flight Behavior y Franny en Migrations será examinado como un llamado al parentesco y la justicia multiespecies.
