The Bible and Feminism: Remapping the Field

Editat de Yvonne Sherwood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 noi 2017
This groundbreaking book breaks with established canons and resists some of the stereotypes of feminist biblical studies. It features a wide range of contributors who showcase new methodological and theoretical movements such as feminist materialisms, intersectionality, postidentitarian 'nomadic' politics, gender archaeology, and lived religion, and theories of the human and the posthuman. The Bible and Feminism: Remapping the Field engages a range of social and political issues, including migration and xenophobia, divorce and family law, abortion, 'pinkwashing', the neoliberal university, the second amendment, AIDS and sexual trafficking, and the politics of 'the veil'. Foundational figures in feminist biblical studies work alongside new voices and contributors from a multitude of disciplines in conversations with the Bible that go well beyond the expected canon-within-the-canon assumed to be of interest to feminist biblical scholars. Moving beyond the limits of a text-orientated model of reading, this collection looks at how biblical texts were actualized in the lives of religious revolutionaries, such as Joanna Southcott or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. It charts the politics of the Pauline veil in the self-understanding of Europe and reads the 'genealogical halls' in the book of Chronicles alongside acts of commemoration and forgetting in 9/11 and Tiananmen Square.

Recenzii

The thrust of the collection is unashamedly interdisciplinary and has at least as much of a focus on post-biblical and contemporary use of the Bible as it does on feminist interpretation of the biblical text.
The Bible and Feminism is a book worthy of its size, heft, and breadth with provocative, erudite, scholarly, yet practical essays from thirty-seven contributors from Iran to Argentina. Due to the sharp editorial vision of Yvonne Sherwood, the volume is an essential contribution to global feminist biblical studies, and feminist religious and cultural studies.
This volume addresses complex and diverse questions that feminist biblical studies raise in our changing society. It offers unconventional approaches and readings of biblical stories, reflects on the past and provokes its readership to evaluate feminist history of intellectual struggle and theoretical vision. The variety of approaches, themes and views that are represented in this volume is simply breath-taking. Whatever one's views on feminism, readers would find this book thought-provoking and challenging.
Brilliant.
The result is a must-read collected volume for whoever is interested in the many, yet to be fully explored, relationships between feminism and biblical texts.
