Ces vingt dernières années, des associations, collectifs et lieux de culte musulmans revendiquant leur accueil des minorités sexuelles et de genre ont vu le jour en Europe. Les activités de ces groupes se sont spécialisées au fur et à mesure des années : les associations musulmanes LGBT+ proposent ainsi des activités pensées spécifiquement pour ce public, tandis que des mosquées inclusives revendiquent un accueil plus large de croyants et croyantes, ce qui inclus mais ne se limite pas aux minorités sexuelles et de genre. Cependant, ces groupes ont connu une évolution très différente en France et au Royaume-Uni. Les associations britanniques se sont multipliées et ont fortement développé leurs activités, que celles-ci soient séculières ou religieuses. En revanche, toute référence directe à l’islam au sein d’associations LGBT+ françaises a complètement disparu au cours des années 2010. Cette thèse s'intéresse à l’évolution de ces sociabilités inclusives musulmanes à travers le temps, à leurs ancrages sociaux et politiques, tout en interrogeant cette différence marquée d’un côté à l’autre de la Manche. Elle part de l’hypothèse que des conceptions différenciées de la citoyenneté, des modalités d’appartenance et de participation à la communauté de citoyens, peuvent en partie expliquer une telle asymétrie entre les deux contextes nationaux. Une enquête ethnographique, menée entre 2018 et 2022 dans les deux pays, a permis à la fois de confirmer et de nuancer cette hypothèse. L’enquête est composée d’entretiens avec divers membres de ces groupes, de périodes d’observation participante et de l’analyse d’archives associatives. Elle a mis à jour l’importance des bifurcations au cours des trajectoires biographiques des membres, autant que les conflits internes concernant la cause défendue et le sens donné à l’identité musulmane. L’enquête montre à quel point les attentes des institutions publiques, le rapport que celles-ci nourrissent vis-à-vis des religions en général et de l’islam en particulier, jouent un rôle important pour légitimer une cause et obtenir des ressources pour la défendre. La thèse explore ainsi, à travers des descriptions ethnographiques denses, un ensemble pluriel d’initiatives nourries par une partie de la population musulmane jeune et connaissant généralement une mobilité sociale ascendante, proche pour ne pas dire pleinement ancrée au sein des franges intellectuelles des classes supérieures. Elle considère les différents arbitrages pratiques et idéologiques que le maintien du travail associatif rend nécessaires, mettant parfois à mal la volonté d’accueil inconditionnel. Par ailleurs, cette étude montre qu’une sécularisation interne n’est pas nécessairement subie mais peut au contraire être tout à fait choisie par les croyants et croyantes. Il faut, dès lors, distinguer sécularisation et neutralité religieuse. Dans son examen des sociabilités inclusives musulmanes, cette thèse porte une attention particulière à l’articulation entre sphère religieuse et d’autres sphères d’activités sociales. Au sein des mosquées inclusives, le travail sur la normativité religieuse vient ainsi accompagner les engagements professionnels et associatifs de divers membres : militantisme politique, entreprenariat sociale, recherche scientifique. La volonté de faire émerger une religion valorisant l’autonomie individuelle des croyants et croyantes, éloignée de la domination masculine et de l’hétérosexualité obligatoire, s’accompagne d’un souci de préservation des liens familiaux et de la volonté de faire émerger de nouvelles formes de solidaritésOver the last twenty years, several Muslim organisations, collectives and places of worship have emerged in Europe, explicitly welcoming gender and sexual minorities. These groups have progressively adapted and specialised their activities: Muslim LGBT+ organisations offer activities specifically for this audience, while inclusive mosques seek to welcome all worshipers, including but not limited to gender and sexual minorities. However, these groups have not evolved in a similar way between France and the United Kingdom. British organisations have multiplied and developed activities, both religious and secular. Meanwhile, any direct reference to Islam within French LGBT+ organisations has completely disappeared during the 2010s. This thesis explores the evolution of Muslim inclusive sociability over time, the various social and political positions of these groups, while questioning this marked difference between France and the UK. Its main hypothesis is that different understandings of citizenship, and of what it means to belong and participate in the citizenry, may partly explain this asymmetrical development of the charity sector dedicated to LGBT+ Muslims. Ethnographic research conducted in both countries between 2018 and 2022 has confirmed but also nuanced this hypothesis. This research consists of individual interviews with various members of these groups, periods of participant observation and analysis of archival material. It emphasises the importance of the volunteers’ life trajectories, as well as the role of internal debates surrounding how these groups define the political cause they defend and what the Muslim identity means to them. This study also shows how public institutions’ expectations, their views on religion in general and Islam in particular, plays a crucial role in whether or not Muslim groups are seen as beneficial to society and are able to secure the resources to do so. This thesis thus explores, through thick ethnographic descriptions, various initiatives carried by young Muslims, who generally experience an upward social mobility and are close to, when not completely part of, the intellectual upper classes. The decisions and compromises necessary to sustain charitable activities sometimes weaken the ideal of unconditional inclusivity. This study also shows that a secularisation process within religious organisations can be consciously chosen by believers rather than endured. In this respect, secularisation and religious neutrality need to be distinguished. In its analysis of Muslim inclusive sociability, this thesis pays particular attention to the relationship between religion and other spheres of social activity. In inclusive mosques, working on religious normativity fall in line with other professional and voluntary engagements: political activism, social entrepreneurship, scientific research. An understanding of religion that strongly values the individual autonomy of believers, against patriarchy and mandatory heterosexuality, comes with the will to preserve family relationships and form new solidarities to care for fellow Muslims

This thesis examines the discursive position of 'goddess feminism', in relation to some of the difference- and eco feminist positions from the1960s and until today. In focus are the texts of the two goddess feminists, Monica Sjöö and Starhawk. The thesis contributes to a historiographical (re)situating of their political and religious narratives. It also contributes to an elaborated understanding of these goddess feminists and the goddess feminist discourse they are part of. The tentative feminist figuration 'the goddess identified feminist’ is articulated as a tool to discuss the religious and political discourse of goddess feminists as part of contemporary feminist and environmental political conversations and practices. Donna Haraway’s and Karen Barad’s post humanist theoretical interventions are used to explore and discuss the affinities between goddess feminists (re)negotiation of the subject/s 'goddess/nature/human' – and the (re)negotiation of 'nature/human’ made by new materialist/post humanist difference- and eco feminists of the 2000s. Rosi Braidotti’s writings on sexual difference, becoming and feminist figurations further informs the conclusions drawn in the thesis. Drawing on the methodological approaches of Clare Hemmings and Mieke Bal in the analysis of story-telling and subject construction, a contribution is also made, to the understanding of how story-telling as part of a discourse, produces meaning and asymmetric subject relations. In particular the thesis shows how a compassionate feminist storytelling involuntarily produces subject positions through, essentialist dualisms, hierarchical ordering and othering. In parallel, the thesis also discusses alternative narrative strategies that focus on both the discursive boarders and affinities.Baksidestext: Det här är en bok om två gudinnefeminister och deras religiösa och politiska berättande. Men det är lika mycket en bok om ’gudinnefeminism’ och hur denna feministiska position relaterar till, skiljer sig från och överlappar med andra skillnads- och ekofeministiska positioner från 1960-talet och till idag. Magdalena Raivios doktorsavhandling omförhandlar historien om ’gudinne-feminism’. Den synliggör även innehållet i Monica Sjöös och Starhawks berättelser om samhället, gudinnan/naturen/människan, framtiden och revolu-tionen. Här visas hur problematiska generaliseringar och uppdelningar i ”vi” och ”de andra” skapas i berättandet – men att Sjöö och Starhawk även vidgar och omförhandlar innebörden av begrepp som ’kvinna’ och ’natur’. En feministisk figuration kallad ’den gudinneidentifierade feministen’ används som tentativ utgångspunkt för nutida samtal om feministiska och miljöpolitiska visioner och för-ändringsstrategier. Avhandlingens resultat styrker tidigare forskning som visat att ett ”feministiskt medkännande berättande” – trots sin välmenta ambition – ofrivilligt medverkar i skapandet av diskursiva gränser, hierarkier och generaliseringar. Som ett teoretiskt bidrag, formuleras och diskuteras här några skillnadsfeministiska ansatser till alternativa berättandestrategier.

Women religious congregations experience a re-composition in the context of the contemporary modernity, establishing new sociable links between the individual and the forms of life and common action. This re-composition process is introduced due to the emergence of the individualism exists in the Women Religious Life. Institutional mechanisms lose legitimation power on the members while these enlarge the margin of freedom and autonomy. This context allows to build more equalitarian relationships, opens space for the difference and the plurality where women are more attentive to their subjectivity and needs. The relationships are elaborated from the individual experience and the subjects of the group who interact to each other, so as to broaden the society to form a sense and action. A dialectic accompanies this process in formation and the constant effort makes the building up of communities possible who try to establish a balance between the individual accomplishment and the common commitment through co-operation, dialogue and by overcoming of conflicts. This work discourses by the relationships that establishes between individual and community in areas of power, action and daily religious living
Congregações religiosas femininas experimentam uma recomposição no contexto da modernidade contemporânea mediante a emergência do individualismo. Estabelece-se novas teias de sociabilidade entre o indivíduo e as formas de vida e de ação comuns. Mecanismos institucionais perdem poder de legitimação sobre os membros enquanto estes ampliam a margem de liberdade e autonomia. Esse contexto permite a construção de relações mais igualitárias, abre espaço para a diferença e a pluralidade onde mulheres estão mais atentas a subjetividade e as necessidades próprias. As relações são elaboradas a partir da experiência individual e grupal dos sujeitos que interagem entre si e com a sociedade a fim de construir o sentido e a ação. Uma dialética acompanha este processo em formação e o constante esforço torna possível a construção de comunidades que procuram estabelecer um equilíbrio entre a realização individual e o compromisso comum mediante cooperação, diálogo e superação de conflitos. Este trabalho discorre sobre as relações que se estabelecem entre indivíduo e comunidade em áreas de poder, ação, cotidiano e vivência religiosa

This paper is my own unique feminist analysis of certain apocryphal texts. Though the texts I use have common themes, they are divided into what I consider the three most societally important aspects of an ancient woman’s identity: virgin, mother, and whore. The Acts of Thecla and The Acts of Xanthippe and Polyxena deal with virginity. II Maccabees, The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitas, and select chapters of Augustine’s Confessions represent motherhood. Finally, the hagiographies Life of Pelagia and Life of Mary navigate through the mire of sexualities that deviate from norms.

This research study investigates self-identified feminist social workers??? conceptualizations of spirituality, how spirituality influences their practices, and their ideas about the effects of spiritually influenced practice. There is increasing interest in exploring and considering spirituality across social work approaches, accompanied by a strong demand for empirical research and the development of knowledge in this area. The past few years in particular have witnessed an expanding social work literature that discusses the incorporation of spirituality into practice. In this thesis spirituality refers to a complex construct that can be deeply personal and/or communal, and that can encompass a sense of connection with something bigger that transcends ordinary life experience. In order to examine spirituality in the context of feminist social work practice, the goals of this study needed to be exploratory and demanded the use of a qualitative methodology. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with twenty experienced direct practice social workers. Grounded theory analysis of the interview data uncovered surprising and significant convergences amongst research participants??? beliefs, values and practices. These unexpected commonalities invited a further analysis of the data that produced a set of practice principles. These practice principles reflected the participants??? understandings of spirituality and basic values, their ideas about processes of spiritual development and beliefs about the spiritual essence of human life, and their spiritually influenced practice methods and relationships. The process of developing practice principles included further data collection through the written feedback of participants and the use of three focus groups. This second round of data collection and analysis extended and refined the practice principles. The practice principles are particularly relevant for social work because they are based in the participants??? collective practice wisdom and represent an important step towards helping to legitimize spiritual knowledge. The practice principles also have important implications for social work practice, education and research in that they can promote discussions about spirituality, guide practice, provide a base for the future development of spiritually influenced models and frameworks, and direct curriculum development.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the link between the political situation in France during the 3rd Republic (1870-1914) and the progressive marginalization that the pedagogical religious congregations have suffered and that eventually led to their emigration to Brazil, from the 19th century on. My intention is to study not only the historical context, but also the sociological, cultural and political background in France in that period, that drove France to secularization, as a result of the Jules Ferry Laws in 1880. It’s also my intention to highlight the dissolution of religious schools in France and, on the other hand, the possibility of emigration, which consequently brought educational and cultural evolution to the feminine youth in Brazil during the Imperial and Republican periods. Finally, I’ve focused my research in the particular case of the congregation Our Lady of Sion as a paradigmatic example of the sister’s congregations that left France during that period and founded colleges in many cities in the southeast region of Brazil. This analysis shows the pioneering spirit of women from those important missionary congregations
Este trabalho tem por objeto o estudo da correlação entre a situação política da França da Terceira República (1870-1914) e a marginalização das congregações religiosas de ensino, como sendo um fator fundamental para a emigração das religiosas francesas para o Brasil, a partir dos meados do século XIX. Trata-se da investigação do contexto sócio-cultural e político desse período na França, da análise das diversas escolhas das religiosas francesas frente à proibição da atividade pedagógica, como decorrência da aplicação das leis de laicização, a partir das Leis Jules Ferry de 1880. Destaca-se então, num segundo nível de análise, a investigação das escolhas entre o fechamento das escolas, da secularização, ou volta à vida civil, ou então da possibilidade do exílio. A questão do exílio foi salientada, na medida em que, essa opção foi responsável pelas conseqüências mais significativas sobre evolução educacional e cultural da juventude feminina no final do Império e início da República no Brasil. Em um terceiro e último nível de análise, o trabalho concentra-se num estudo da Congregação Notre Dame deSion, como sendo representativa dessas congregações religiosas femininas francesas que para cá vieram e em particular na trajetória histórica do Colégio Sion, tanto na França, quanto em várias cidades do sudeste brasileiro, a partir de 1888. Essa análise evidencia o pioneirismo dessas congregações missionárias e o papel pioneiro das mulheres de vida consagrada

The main focus of this essay is religious women living in cloisters trying to identify the reasons why they have chosen this type of life. Based on the premises that these women freely decide to live in cloisters, a deep analysis of the social context and the role they play in this context is done. Through these women s lives we can observe certain elements that may indicate the reasons for their choices. The research work was developed in Ordem das Carmelitas Descalças monastery in São Paulo s countryside aiming at finding records about the essay s subject. Through the life report of five lady monks plus a questionnaire focusing on indications of the social-economic level of the monastery population it was possible to better understand the life style of the monastery. The results seem to indicate important reasons related to their family biodata, as well as a possible lack of life perspectives of these women as fundamental elements of their choices. Besides that the essay leads to the need of further investigation focusing on different aspects of life in cloisters and its relationship with society
O presente estudo aborda a vida religiosa feminina em clausura no Brasil e procura identificar elementos que motivam, ainda hoje, mulheres a escolher esse estilo de vida. Partindo do princípio que essas mulheres realizam livremente a opção de viver em clausura, analisa-se o contexto social atual onde as mesmas encontram-se inseridas, bem como os papéis e a identidade que lhe são atribuídos. Através da trajetória de vida dessas mulheres, observa-se alguns elementos que podem ser indicativos das motivações nessa escolha. Com o intuito de obter dados sobre a temática, o trabalho empírico foi desenvolvido junto a um mosteiro de monjas da Ordem das Carmelitas Descalças, do interior do estado de São Paulo. Através da obtenção do relato da história de vida de cinco monjas e ainda da aplicação de questionário estruturado para a indicação do nível sócio-econômico da população do mosteiro, foi possível conhecer um pouco melhor o estilo de vida no convento. Os resultados parecem indicar a significativa influência de fatores biográficos e da estrutura familiar, bem como uma possível ausência de perspectiva na vida dessas mulheres como elementos definidores em suas escolhas. Além disso, o estudo aponta para a necessidade de novas investigações que abordem os diferentes aspectos da vida em clausura e a relação dessas mulheres com a sociedade

Bibliography: leaves 92-102.The premise throughout this thesis is that religious education at state schools has hopelessly failed. Teachers are generally apathetic and pupils disinterested and bored by a repetitive content which, for the most part, is a duplication of what happens in Sunday school. Christian National education, the dominant ethos and philosophy underlying educational methodology, denies the plurality of the South African society and the plurality within Christianity itself. Calvinism is blithely promoted as normative Christianity while the existence of religions such as African Traditional Religion is denied. The challenge of pluralism in religion education is underlined, in this work, by a feminist analysis which derives from a personal experience. Any black woman of faith experiences a triple oppression it is held. To this end, the effects of racism, sexism and patriarchy is addressed with the view to contribute towards the transformation of the state of both education and religion in the South African context. The argument throughout is that a religion education in schools, which is going to reflect the diversity of our society, has to include in its definition of pluralism, the category of gender. An overview of the state of religion in education serves as an introduction while plurality and the role of the state is defined in chapter one. The point that gender, as a category of plurality, must be consciously included in its definition, if it aims to restore the full humanity of those who have been dispossessed, is promoted. Chapter two focuses on the position of women within religion which has hitherto been a negative one and chapter three shortly attempts to clarify the inherent definitional problem of Religion Education and argues for a recognition and position of African Traditional Religion in the school syllabus. Chapter four focuses on the very important question of language since it is language that constructs our heritage. The symbolic appeals language evokes is further considered and critiqued. The point that masculine language and imagery has to be revised in any pursuit of a just and acceptable religion education is further argued and the implications thereof, set out. Religious texts are appropriated from a feminist perspective in chapter five and traditional theology challenged. Examples as to how to read into the text and to read behind the text, in order to rediscover women's lost history, are given. Texts which are common to the Abrahamic religions are chosen for its accessibility and immediate relevance.

This thesis examines the position of Buddhist nuns (thila-shins) in contemporary Burmese society. The Sangha, a branch of the Burmese state, has disallowed them from seeking full ordination as bhikkhunis. Based on interviews and observations conducted in Myanmar in June-July 2015, the thesis examines the current socioeconomic status of thila-shins using a transnational feminist framework. It argues that Burmese Buddhist nuns are not simply passive victims of a patriarchal structure, but agents and actors within their own spaces who have their own agendas. The central questions are: How do thila-shins understand their social, economic, and religious position? How does ordination status affect thila-shins? Is barring thila-shins from seeking full ordination ethical according to Buddhist texts? Special emphasis is given to a rereading of traditional Buddhist doctrine on the issue of reviving full ordination for Buddhist nuns in light of concerns regarding agency present in Third World feminist movements.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how Christians can and should speak about God if they take feminist criticism seriously. This purpose concerns two problems: the first starts with the proposition that God is essentially different from humans and things and at the fact that the language that we use to describe and speak about God is a human language. God is infinite, incorporeal, and timeless, while the human language normally is used to apply to finite, corporeal, and temporal things. How – if ever – can this language apply to God? To examine this problem further, I present four different theories of religious language. The second problem is actualized by feminists who criticize the standard within the Christian tradition to characterize God in predominantly masculine terms. Feminists have criticised religious language for being oppressive in several ways, and particularly to establish and maintain hierarchical structures in which women are subordinated men. In this essay I present and discuss feminist criticism of religious language and then distinguish four different strategies for feminists. I further examine three of these strategies, represented by Sallie McFague, Gail Ramshaw and Janet Soskice, dealing with the problem of religious language within the Christian tradition. In all three of these feminist strategies metaphors are found to be of great importance. Finally, I promote Soskice metaphor theory combined with an apophatic theory of language. Soskice stresses the importance of anthropomorphous metaphors and offer the possibility of using both male and female images when speaking about God. This strategy positively handles the proposition of God as essentially different but makes it possible for believers to refer to God (through metaphors). This is also the preferable strategy in line with feminist criticism.

Previous issue date: 2005-08-10This research studies the choice and participation of afro-descendent women in the practiced religions in detention centers. It was based on the whole institution named prison. The present research seeks to investigate the religion in two penitentiaries of the paulista metropolitan area. Taking into account the declarations of incarcerated women, it intends to investigate how afro-descendent women (imprisoned), choose certain religions. The dissertation theoretically verified and the situation of the afro-descendent women was confirmed in the field of study. Regarding religions in this context, the study discusses what religion means to these women, how they opt, practice and participate in one on the provided carcerary space, and what the meaning of the chosen religion is in prison s daily life.
Esta pesquisa estuda como se dá a escolha e a participação das mulheres afrodescendentes nas religiões inseridas nos presídios. Nos concentramos na instituição total denominada prisão. Nesta pesquisa buscamos estudar a religião em dois presídios da capital paulista. Levando em consideração o depoimento das presas, pretendemos estudar como as mulheres afro-descendentes (presas) optam por determinadas religiões. Passamos pela verificação teórica sobre a temática, e confirmamos no campo a situação das mulheres afrodescendentes. Em relação às religiões nesse contexto discutiremos o que a religião significa para as mulheres afro-descendentes, como elas optam, praticam e participam da religião nesses espaços, e qual o sentido da religião escolhida na vida cotidiana no presídio.

This study examines two Muslim feminist theologians and their approach to the Islamic tradition and the religious sources. The purpose of the study is to examine their presentation and interpretation of the sources from a feminist perspective and to compare their arguments. Former studies have shown that the authors aim to convince the reader that their message are the right one by using a reinterpretation of the sources and that feminist authors argue that the ideal message of the Quran is equality between the sexes. The interpretations through history are considered to be misogynic because the male religious elite have controlled the progress of the discursive tradition. A theoretical approach involving The basket metaphor by Jan Hjärpe, the theory about symbolic universes by Berger & Luckmann and the discussion about the anthropology of islam by Talal Asad are used to explain how the Muslim feminists relate to the Islamic tradition. The result show that both authors defend Islam as a religion but have different approaches regarding their interpretation. They are both using the Islamic sources to argue why the ideal in Islamic tradition are equality between the sexes. Mernissi mainly focusses on the actors in history to explain why woman should have equal rights and Wadud mainly focuses on the linguistics of the sources. The result also shows that there has been a shift in attitude. Mernissi had in her earlier texts a negative attitude towards the early years of Islam and meant that Muhammed and his companions restricted the agency of women. Later in her texts it is clear that she has a more positive approach. Wadud on the other hand stated in her earlier text that all verses in the Quran has a desire for equality. In her later text she declares that there are problematic verses in the Quran and that they could be disregarded.

Protestant nuns, Stiftsdamen, fulfilled a unique role in early modern Lutheran society. This papers focuses on the implied social roles and expected virtues of Protestant nuns [Stiftsdamen] in the works of male Lutheran pastors who supported Protestant theological positions that promoted marriage as the proper place for women, and yet who also praised unmarried female monastics in funeral sermons [Leichenpredigten]. Lutheran pastors wrote funeral sermons for both Stiftsdamen and married women, funeral sermons display similarities or differences between what virtues, characteristics, and displays of piety for women. A comparison will also be made between funeral sermons for Stiftsdamen and those written for Catholic nuns by Catholic clergy. Convent necrologies, written by Catholic abbesses will also be used to compare what virtues were expected of female religious. Also included is an examination of nuns’ writings about theology, their doctrinal reasons for remaining Catholic, leaving the cloister, and adapting their convent life to fit Lutheran teachings.
Damenstiften preserved access for women to positions of authority and self empowerment. These women were, however, different from earlier female religious communities and from Catholic nuns living in other Lutheran areas. Protestant Stiftsdamen had more contact with outside society than cloistered Catholic nuns due to the desire of Lutherans to incorporate these women into their communities. An analysis of the perception of Stiftsdamen by Lutheran pastors and the nuns' consciousness of their own position, duties, and piety is the cornerstone of this new research on gender and religion in early modern Germany. The perpetuation of Protestant convents into the seventeenth century is only briefly documented by historians who focus instead on the religious experience of women in Germany during and directly following the Reformation. Catholic examples of female piety will contribute to the understanding of female religious and their role in society at large. In conclusion, this research displays how Stiftsdamen were praised for the same virtues as early modern married Protestant women and Catholic nuns in funeral sermons, but were not specifically praised as female religious by male Lutheran pastors.

I am writing a feminist theology of music. Feminist musicologists, by studying music's relation to human sexuality (a connection which theologians have neglected, suppressed, or simply ignored), contend that music has always functioned as a metaphor for sexual relations. As such, music constitutes a site where personal and social formation is negotiated and contested. Via repertoires of musical conventions, much like those in film and literature, composers arouse, manipulate, and channel our desires, thereby reinforcing (and sometimes transgressing) cultural norms of sexuality and gender construction. Their compositions become "fabrications of sexuality." (McClary)Historically, theologians and church authorities vilified music's preeminent worth as an erotic medium, promoting instead its exemplary embodiment of ontic harmony and order. To do so, they clothed their polemic against "illicit" musical practices with the rhetoric of effeminacy, thus veiling male ambivalence toward women and the body in a politics of transcendence. After a critique of these masculinist models, and an exposition of music as a gendered, en-gendering discourse, I will redefine music theologically as abject, fleshly imitatio. To construct a feminist musico-theological model, I shall synthesise a lost trope from the tradition with insights which I have gained from the musical activities of four women musician-composers: Hildegard of Bingen, Bolognese nun Lucrezia Vizzani (and her consoeurs), Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Diamanda Galas. Through this recuperative synthesis, music's theological significance will shift from its incarnation of harmony and order---divine, cosmic, or human to its ineradicable promiscuity, its dis-integrative powers.
My original contribution to the field is fourfold: (1) I document the rhetoric of effeminacy and virility which has influenced and shaped traditional theologies of music, and thereby undermine the latter's privileged status as musico-theological resources; (2) I portray the music of the above women composers as musical imitations of Christ; (3) I enrich revisionist accounts of women in the Christian tradition by giving greater prominence to women's musical activity, the latter previously neglected in, for example, theological studies of mediaeval women, this despite music's centrality to their daily lives; (4) I initiate mutually enriching dialogue between feminist musicology and theology. To date, a feminist theology of music has not been written.

In this paper I explore what Catholic feminist Ignatian spirituality can contribute to the conversation between faith and culture, conversation that is too often muddied by vague and superficial argument and by an ‘us’ vs ‘them’ attitude driven by extremes to which the majority do not belong. The secular and the religious spring from a common past, though they exist now within the nova effect of spiritualities available today in our modern Western or North Atlantic, “secular 3” world. The 500-year-old Ignatian Exercises can be a coherent voice speaking in the cacophony of the contemporary context especially when a feminist lens is used to expand them in a more comprehensive way by applying classic feminist thought on anthropology, names of God, embodiment, and the ontological centrality of relationship to human existence. This application of a feminist hermeneutic helps us explore human reality more fully – a reality that is “irreducibly plural and not merely hierarchically dualistic.” This, in turn, helps us communicate the Exercises and a truer, deeper Christianity, than contemporary conversation typically allows. I map out the basic structure and purpose of the Exercises and offer examples of a feminist retrieval of a variety of meditations and contemplations from the “weeks” of the Exercises to illustrate how this retrieval does not negate traditional interpretation of scripture but expands it for the benefit of all – Christian and non-Christian alike. The Ignatian Exercises address questions we all ask – they help one to “play the game of the truth of existence” and to reach both inward and then outward toward neighbor and world. The bridge I am attempting to build between faith and culture is made up of the Exercises as a grounded answer to the yearning in this unbelieving world that is, nevertheless, still haunted by belief. The feminist lens is the car that drives us over that bridge.

The works of Mary Wollstonecraft have been largely utilized in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries within the domain of feminist studies. They were influential throughout the 'feminist movement' of the 1960s and 1970s and Wollstonecraft is routinely given the title of 'mother' of feminism. One result of her works being classified as important feminist texts is the elision of the religious element in her works. Moreover, recent scholarship has drawn attention to the central importance of religion in eighteenth century British discourse. This thesis will primarily argue that Wollstonecraft was heavily influenced by religion, and that her writings were conceived in response to a profoundly theologico-political culture. This influence of religion has generally been overlooked by researchers and this thesis will aim to redress this absence. Four of Wollstonecraft's works - all produced within a 'similar' political climate and within a concise time period - are utilized to show that religion was a foundational element within Wollstonecraft's thought and arguments. This thesis shows that Wollstonecraft was not so much a 'feminist' thinker, but a unique intellectual determined to show that the inferior position of women went against 'God's will', teachings and the equality He had ascribed to both men and women during Creation.

This essay looks to examine the view on religious and non-religious people thoughts on the possible relationship between feminism and religion. The essay in itself relies on semi structured interviews conducted with five informants where focus has been centered on the informants main thoughts on the subject. The theoretic basis of the study is found in post-structuralistic feminism and intersectionalism. The result will show that while all the informants believe there is a kind of relationship between feminism and religion, this relationship greatly varies depending on the informants’ preconception of religion and feminism.

As a Christian, Emily Pfeiffer (1827-1890) saw women's fight for emancipation as a crusade that transcends the earthly state. Yet, although her poetry was well-received during her life-time, Pfeiffer remains obscure. In order to challenge values that may have helped to perpetuate Pfeiffer's non-canonical status, I examine Pfeiffer's poetry against a broader definition of religious practice and worship than was traditionally applied to Victorian women's poetry. Responding to a recent re-evaluation of the criteria for what constitutes nineteenth-century religious literature, I demonstrate that Pfeiffer's poetry occupies a unique position in the canon of Victorian women's religious poetry. To determine what made Pfeiffer such an original thinker, my research considers childhood experiences from which the psychological imprint nev~r faded. In order to compensate for losses and disappointments, Pfeiffer learned to channel her frustrations into her poetry early in life. A Central Anglican, Pfeiffer belonged to a declining strand of the Established Church during a period when other branches of Christianity were expanding.

Bibliography: leaves 333-354.This thesis engages a multi-disciplinary theoretical approach to identifying, analysing, and interpreting discourse relating to the feminine and the maternal found at the intersection of psychoanalysis, feminism, and religion. The study explores embodiment, gender, and the sacred as expressed in symbolic representations of the mother and the institution of motherhood in patriarchy. I have therefore drawn on Freudian and post-Freudian theories, gender analysis, feminist critical analysis, and classical Hindu goddess myth to discern ways in which sacred images of the mother serve to reinforce the oppression of women on the one hand and can be transformed to provide empowering symbols for women's lived reality on the other. Theory of sacred space is also employed, particularly with regard to the human production of the sacred through the contested politics of sacred space.

Secondly, it looks at feminist theologians' critical analyses of Marian devotion in Latin America as being about the veneration of an archetypal figure working in the interests of patriarchal social control and the oppression of women. Thirdly, it discusses the hermeneutical method of Feminist Liberation Theologians which has been designed to uncover and critique andocentric scriptural interpretations, and reinterpret the traditional images of the Bible from a feminist perspective.

This thesis is a study of the feminist dimension of Freethought in nineteenth-century Britain, and the part played by freethinking critiques of Christianity in the Victorian women's movement. `Infidel feminists' saw religion, specifically Christianity, as the root of women's oppression and equated female emancipation with liberation from the bonds of superstition. This distinctive brand of feminism was advocated by the Freethought movement as part of its wider agenda to rid society of false and repressive belief-systems through the critique of orthodox religion. Organised Freethought was home to a small number of prominent female activists who developed and promoted this `Freethinking feminism'. For these women the rejection of religion encouraged and shaped support for women's rights. Freethinkers' commitment to moral autonomy, free speech and the democratic dissemination of knowledge, their rejection of God-given notions of sexual difference and their critique of the Christian institution of marriage, provided powerful intellectual tools with which to challenge dominant and oppressive attitudes to womanhood. Infidel feminists criticised, engaged with and contributed to the wider women's movement. It is therefore argued that although nineteenth-century feminism was predominantly Christian, it was built around religious controversy and contestation rather than a unified adherence to a particular set of religious values. The argument presented has important implications for existing scholarship on both feminism and secularisation. It is the first in-depth study of Freethinking feminism, which has been almost entirely neglected in histories of First Wave feminism. A fuller understanding of the important role played by the `infidel feminists' enables us to identify a more continuous feminist tradition throughout the century, connecting the more `radical' Owenite feminists of the 1830s and 40s with the more `respectable' post-1850 women's movement. By showing how Freethinking feminism developed not only in opposition to, but also in dialogue with, Christian debates on women, the thesis contributes to current rethinking of the `religious'/`secular', distinction, demonstrating that these categories should be viewed as interdependent rather than merely oppositional. As the thesis shows, the Christian faith, against which infidel feminists campaigned so vigorously, fundamentally structured their Secularist commitments.

While the Second Vatican Council advocates an inclusive priesthood and unified People of God, exclusion of consecrated Roman Catholic women from ministerial priesthood, official church interpretations of the scriptures, and judgments concerning faith and morals continues. This thesis examines creative tactics of resistance among consecrated women on account of hierarchal and essentialist models found in church traditions, including Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), and contemporary American women associated with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. I analyze aspects of three prophetic critiques and hermeneutical tactics of each, appealing to the critical interpretive methodologies of Elizabeth Bucar and Grace Jantzen. The LCWR are “in good company,” contrary to the representations of male superiors in the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith and episcopal hierarchy. The feminist resistance of these women recapitulates forms of what Bucar calls “creative conformity,” which the church has embraced for its forbearers.

The scholarly field of traditionally religious women has during the last decade gone from a so called “paradox-approach” which identifies women’s agency with the capacity of acting autonomously – something most clearly demonstrated through acts of resistance – to a nonparadox approach defining agency as a continuum encompassing both resistance to and compliance with traditionally religious structures. While the latter approach assumes that women’s participation in traditional religions is not necessarily a paradox – mainly because some women value religious submission – this thesis argues that the paradox of women and religion becomes essential when speaking about religious feminism. This has proven particularly evident in this study’s Grounded theory approach to blog posts written by Mormon feminists. By combining theories on cognitive dissonance with religious ambivalence this thesis finds that Mormon feminist bloggers express an agency of virtuous ambivalence where they perceive the relationship between their faith and their feminism as dissonant but simultaneously describe this as an ambivalence of religious virtue which bestow upon them a sense of freedom, authenticity and creative potential.

Islamic ideological evolution has been hugely affected by the cultural and political attributions of both colonisation and neo-colonisation. This is particularly evident in the polarising controversy over religious women's agency, which continues to engage many Islamic feminists. This research critically examines the religious agency of Muslim women as a product of the postcolonial ideological, historical and political factors that have shaped contemporary religious discourse, with a particular focus on Sufi informed religious agency. Sufism offers ideological and aesthetic tools that can empower agency in Islamic feminist writing, such as the spiritual ecology that is derived from Ibn 'Arabi's waḥdat al-wujūd. Sufi literature is often critically analysed within the framework of Magical Realism, and this literary critical approach determines the reading of the mystical elements. These elements are therefore perceived as myths. This thesis avoids this critical mistake by asserting that these mystical aspects are faith-based articulations of resistance to the ideological normativity, of postcolonial ideologies. This research examines a number of Sufi-based feminist novels: Leila Aboulela's Minaret (2005), "Days Rotate" (2001) and The Kindness of Enemies (2015); Raja Alem's My Thousand and One Nights (2007) and Fatma (2002); as well as the film Bab'Aziz (2005) by Nacer Khemir. The study of feminist views and the representation of women's agency affiliated with Sufism permits a further understanding of the literary and cinematic resistance to the normativity within which Sufi literature has been read. This study reveals that the novelists' and cinematic director's perspectives on spiritual women's agency, as articulated in the works under scrutiny, accommodate variable views of religious knowledge. This not only encourages different levels of engagement in the textual traditions as a source of agency but also instigates considerable engagement with the political issues that are integral to Sufism and women's agency. Overall, this research problematises both the normative consideration of Sufism and feminist engagement in the religious agency of Muslim women.

In the face of an explosion of feminist discourse and an increasingly global, deeply troubled socio-religious climate, the following study explores the role of religion qua Christianity in researching female subjectivity, according to Julia Kristeva. Kristeva's pervasive influence and controversial reception in academic circles grants her the focus of this investigation.This project familiarizes the reader with Kristeva's theory of subjectivity as a process and situates her among the plethora of feminist theorists. It also examines her view that religion is an illusory therapy for the modern subject in crisis. Finally, these two themes are brought together in a discussion on her theory of a culture of revolt, derived from the psychoanalytic process. Kristeva's vision for the future of feminism is shown to be deeply philosophical, while also socially and politically important. Furthermore, in revolt culture, religion might well leave open the possibility of researching female subjectivity.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This is a comparative feminist analysis of religion in local politics within two London boroughs: Ealing and Newham. Starting from the observation that there has been a de-secularisation of relations between the state and civil society in Britain, it draws upon the feminist and anti racist critique of multiculturalism to produce new reflections on the shift to multifaithism. This thesis argues that the shift is the result of a double movement - from above and from below - and enables moral hegemony. By re-orienting an analysis of the religious-secular to local cartographies of power, this thesis makes smaller claims that run alongside and pose questions for a growing consensus within feminist theory that seeks a distance from secularism, that emphasises solidarities with faith based mobilisations and seeks to uncritically defend religious minority claims. The data comprises 47 in depth interviews with 'secular', 'religious' and 'state' actors. This is supplemented with ethnographic observations from public meetings, religious processions and other events. The empirical analysis discusses the following key themes: the way in which religion is welded to electoral politics; religious commitment as an ontological, aesthetic and affective source for social responsibility and political engagement; the shared pastoral-policing functions of religious organisations and the state; the emergence of religious 'election' as a new way of re-ordering local areas and access to welfare services; the negotiation of a new wave of Muslim political identifications in the context of the War on Terror; the perpetuation of a unanimist Khalsa norm and its implications for making religious claims; and a closer consideration of religious groups in alliance, the darker side of faith as social capital.

This thesis is a critical survey of selected feminist writings on topics of interest to Christian, feminist thinkers. Specifically, this thesis has examined inter-feminist debates, highlighting those themes related narrowly to the virtues of self-sacrifice, care and peace, and broadly to how these relate to wider themes in Christian theology. This survey indicates directions and tendencies within works on virtues connected to women's work and gendered ideological assumptions about public and private spheres.A summary of the contribution and themes of this thesis includes using critical social theory to uncover ideological distortions such as those perpetuated by patriarchy. The thesis highlights how a feminist critique contributes to the debate on values and virtues, pointing out biases which previously hid the contributions of women. An important theme uncovered using these critical tools is the dualist division between the public and the private spheres which reinforce gendered social and moral roles. The discussion is structured around three virtues with an emphasis on praxis, that is, since values arise out of shared practices, these values are inherently teachable and able to contribute to an evolving understanding of moral principles which break from and/or enhance traditional liberal understandings of these principles. Finally, connections are made with the gospel and utopian values grounded in a Christian vision of the kingdom of God.

Female religiosity has during the last couple of decades become a subject of interest within sociology of religion. Womens’ way of negotiating their Christian identities, in relation to traditional understandings of them, are particularly interesting in the field of mediatization, where different forms of digital media have been shown to provide new possibilities for female religiosity to become visible. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to explore this further by examining how female religiosity - visible through digital media - can challenge traditional structures of authority in christianity. This study is based on the instagram account feministpastorn, run by pastor Esther Kazen, which exemplifies how digital media opens up new spaces for women to negotiate their christian faith in relation to their feministic values. To explore this further these following research questions were formulated; 1) How does Esther Kazen relate her christian faith to her feministic values on her instagram account feministpastorn?; and 2) In what way can feministpastorn be viewed as an example of shifting authority, from a traditional (male) Christian authority to a - by a female Christian actor - newly established one? To answer these questions, the theory of mediatization, as a theory of religious change made possible by different forms of media, with a focus on a change in religious authority, was implemented in the analysis. Based on qualitative research this study shows how female religiosity can make possible a shift in religious authority by allowing women to establish their own authority, in relation to traditional structures of authority within Christian institutions. Hence, the digital medium can be seen as a platform where women can build a new position of authority in relation to existing traditional structures of authority. This study shows how feministpastorn undermines traditional authority through criticism and attempts to build a new authority by 1) appealing to the audience with humility; 2) highlighting herself, in opposition to identified problematics; and 3) using her traditional authoritative role, as pastor in Equmeniakyrkan, to enhance a new kind of authority in contrast to traditional structures of Christian authority, made possible by the digital medium instagram.

This thesis utilized the field hermeneutics within the study of gender roles of women within religion. It argues the relevance of interpretation that have lead to the patriarchal structures within culture and society. In effort to restructure their place in society, women are redefining gender roles through a combination of hermeneutics and Feminism. They are looking at commonly misinterpreted verses that have lead to their subordination to male culture, while also bringing attention to texts and stories within the Bible and the Quran that have long been neglected to show the equality that lies within their religions.
