Christian Ethics and the Crisis of Gender Violence: Exploring Kristeva's Reading of Religion, Culture and the Human Psyche
| The
book brings the thought of Julia Kristeva to bear on the challenge of
sexual differentiation in a world that both privileges difference yet
continues to be threatened by otherness. In conversation with feminist
theology and Christian ethics, it explores the role and the ramifications
of being embodied subjects. The book utilizes Kristeva's thought to probe
the roots of violence against women and how violence continues to shape
humanity's psyche. Kristeva's contribution to feminist theology and Christian
ethics emerges through a comparative analysis with leading feminist
theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether. Ruether probes more deeply than most
the pervasive misogyny within the Christian tradition. While Kristeva
exposes the deeply biological (and so determined) roots of violence against
women, her insights provide the needed understanding that can shift the
direction of our thought in addressing the threat of the other. The book
considers how theology (via Ruether) rather than Kristeva offers the tools
to guide us through this opening. |
