Abstract

The book comprises studies of twenty-four texts of Slavic-ecclesiastical production composed to recount the lives and celebrate the memory of eleven saints of the Russian Orthodox church who lived between the tenth and the seventeenth centuries: Ol'ga of Kiev (†969), Evfrosinija of Polock (†1173), Fevronija of Murom (†1228), Evfrosinija of Suzdal' (†1250), Anna of Kašin (XIII-XIV sec.), Sof'ja of Tver (XIII-XIV sec.), Vassa of Nižnij Novgorod (†1378), Julianija of Vjaz'ma (†1406), Evdokija of Moscow (†1407), Sof'ja of Suzdal' (†1542) and Julianija of Lazar'evo (†1604). Leaving to the historians the task of establishing the reliability of the hagiographic accounts handed down by the sources, the author intends to highlight the cultural influence of the texts in question. The analysis of the stylistic features, of the motifs and the bibliographical-liturgical citations contained in them, brings to light a characteristic profile of the female hagiography, identifying the image of the 'bride of Christ' as the model of sanctity for women. This interpretative key represents an initial approach to issues that have been addressed to date only in a superficial and sporadic manner as regards the East Slavic tradition, although they have begun to receive their due attention in the Latin and Byzantine sphere.

Abstract

Although it is quite possible that many will consider this book irreverent or disrespectful of ideas or institutions,the authoris certain that they will also perceive it as a defender of women and their unquestionable transcendence throughout history. The main ideasthe authornow shares publicly, are onesthe authorhas considered for many years: the classification of the 'Eves', the masochistic character of women, the concept of giraffe women, etc. Other ideas appeared afterwards, some at the last moment, asthe authorenjoyed the company of friends, who frequently and generously lend their time to discuss with me their own opinions..the authorbelieves that there is a universal feminine principle just as there is a masculine one, the difference remains in the fact that, from the very beginning of creation, everything about man has already been said and nothing continues to be undisclosed, whereas woman, is an untold story yet to be discovered.

Abstract

La question des rapports entre les sexes et de la définition des rôles sexués est assez familière aux spécialistes de l'Antiquité. Néanmoins le renouvellement théorique apporté par la notion de genre incite l'équipe Phéacie, qui réunit des chercheurs et des enseignants-chercheurs spécialistes de l'Antiquité grecque et romaine, à proposer un premier bilan des problèmes que leur pose l'usage de cette catégorie. La variété des sources étudiées, épigraphiques, papyrologiques, archéologiques, littéraires, témoigne de l'ampleur que peut prendre un tel questionnement historique susceptible de renouveler radicalement la lecture de tel ou tel document supposé bien connu. Par ailleurs, les cadres normatifs observables dans les sociétés antiques, une fois mis au jour, paraissent sujets à bien des gauchissements, voire des transgressions. Ceux-ci rendent compte, à leur tour, de la dynamique des identités de genre qu'on ne saurait réduire à deux contenus, le masculin et le féminin. Néanmoins cette polarité reste un ordonnancement politiquement utile, permettant de hiérarchiser les individus et les comportements, et, exceptionnellement, de valoriser des caractéristiques socialement associées à un sexe ou un autre, tels l'obéissance pour les filles de leurs pères et le courage physique pour les fils de la cité.

Abstract

"Studies on Feminity is the second volume in a unique series edited by Alcira Mariam Alizade for the Committee on Women and Psychoanalysis of the International Psychoanalytical Association. Providing a forum for exploration and discussion of diverse issues relating to gender constructs, sexuality, and sexual identity, the series brings together an internationally renowned group of contributors trained in the psychoanalytic tradition. Studies on Feminity discusses gender roles, femininity and motherhood. The various stages in a woman's life (adolescence, adulthood and menopause) are all examined.'In this volume, the reader will find not only papers from different essentialist, constructivist and culture-based standpoints, but will also note the existence of theoretical and clinical intersections where psychoanalysis borders on closely-related disciplines.' - Alcira Mariam Alizade, from the Foreword"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Many contemporary feminists believe that early humans worshipped a nurturing Mother Goddess, who was displaced by autocratic male deities. This book examines the maternal deities of various cultures and religions but finds no signs of a common origin for a primordial "Great Mother.".
