Towards a Different Transcendence

Feminist Findings on Subjectivity, Religion and Values. Edited by Kune Biezeveld and Anne-Claire Mulder. This collection of papers brings together feminist theologians, philosophers and literary critics from Europe, the United States and Australia. It aims to explore the claim made by feminist thinkers that women need a ‘house of language’ of their own and different forms of transcendence to express their subjectivity and the values they want to live by. In their discussion of this claim this international group of authors uses a variety of sources and theoretical approaches, from novels by Woolf and Morrison to feminist philosophers such as Irigaray and Kristeva, from Daly and Ruether to speculative fiction and pornographic writing, from Italian feminist thinkers to postcolonial theory. Despite this variety the book presents a consistent argument for a ‘house of language’ which is open to the ongoing dialogue about values we want to live by, as well as an example of this dialogue. 358 Seiten, broschiert (Religions and Discourse; Vol. 9/Peter Lang Verlag 2001) Mängelexemplar/near mint
