"Get Me The Girl For A Wife": Feminist Readings Of Genesis 34-35, Jacqueline Sanchez-Small Osb
"Get Me The Girl For A Wife": Feminist Readings Of Genesis 34-35, Jacqueline Sanchez-Small Osb
Obsculta
This essay, originally written for “The Hebrew Scriptures: History, Theology, and Controversy,” considers the story of the rape of Dinah, exploring the text’s history and its traditional interpretations. Drawing on the work of Phyllis Trible’s Texts of Terror, the piece proposes a feminist and liberatory reading of the passage, one that centers the personhood of Dinah and the other women of the story.
Exploring Interfaith Sex Education, Bailey Lewis
Exploring Interfaith Sex Education, Bailey Lewis
Honors College
Sacred Sexuality explores the intersections of religion and sexuality. I worked with Dr. Birthisel, Director of the Wilson Center, and Kate Dawson, co-facilitator of the sex education class, to survey the sex education class participants on how the experience has been for them. I surveyed the sex education class participants after the class to analyze their opinions of the sex education class, interfaith dialogue, and how their spirituality or religious perspectives inform their beliefs around sexuality. Overall, the sex education class was highly recommended and gave an interesting look into how faith and sexuality interact. While the sex education class …

Understanding The Professional Experiences Of White Jewish Women In Higher Education: An Intrinsic Case Study Analysis, Janna M. Bernstein
Understanding The Professional Experiences Of White Jewish Women In Higher Education: An Intrinsic Case Study Analysis, Janna M. Bernstein
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The exploration of female professionals’ experiences within the realm of higher education is steadily increasing, yet researchers have yet to analyze, much less include, Jewish women. Following a qualitative intrinsic case study approach, this study assesses the lived experiences of ten white Jewish women professionals to better understand how they engage in the world of higher education differently than their non-Jewish counterparts. Using racial formation theory and intersectional analysis as theoretical frameworks, the research examined the current and historical literature on Jewish identity, the role of Jews and Jewish women in higher education, and the relevant methodological research. The study …
Visual Weimar: The Iconography Of Social And Political Identities, Kerry Wallach
Visual Weimar: The Iconography Of Social And Political Identities, Kerry Wallach
German Studies Faculty Publications
In the Weimar Republic, images were perceived to be as unreliable as they were powerful. They helped create and codify difference while simultaneously blurring lines within the categories of gender and race. Visual culture provided a wild playground for discourses about gender presentation and sexuality that encompassed veterans, athletes, criminals, the New Woman, and androgynous figures. Despite the growing prominence of images in race science, it was widely held that images could not be trusted to convey accurate information about race. The propagandistic use of images for political purposes had the potential to be equally ambiguous. It was ultimately up …
Resisting The Tradition Of Sexism, Tobi N. Farbstein
Resisting The Tradition Of Sexism, Tobi N. Farbstein
Georges Lieber Essay Contest on Resistance
I stood there, or rather wobbled, standing on a plastic chair, peering over the division of a wall. Three feet away, I saw a boy reading from the Torah. There were men embracing, women cheering from across the wall, and rounds of applause on both sides. I stepped down from the chair and glanced at the sky. In my view, a large barrier towered over me, piercing the blue-- the Western Wall. My haze was then suddenly interrupted by a woman frantically mounting the chair I had previously been standing on. She was desperate to get a view of the …

Something To Do With A Girl Named Marla: Eros And Gender In David Fincher’S Fight Club, Vernon W. Cisney
Something To Do With A Girl Named Marla: Eros And Gender In David Fincher’S Fight Club, Vernon W. Cisney
Interdisciplinary Studies Faculty Publications
David Fincher’s 1999 film, Fight Club, has been characterized in many ways: as a romantic comedy, an exploration of white, middle-class male angst, an existentialist search for meaning amidst the moral ruins of late capitalism, an anarchist manifesto, and so on. But common to nearly every reading of the film, critical and laudatory alike, is the assumption that Fight Club is indisputably a celebration of misogynistic, masculinist virility and violence. On its face, this assumption appears so overwhelmingly obvious as to render superfluous any argumentation in support thereof, and absurd any opposing argumentation. Consider the ubiquitous homoerotic adulation of the …
Towards A Destructive, Unmonumental, Queer Hagiography: FéLix GonzáLez Torres And The Spiritual- Activist Potential Of Destruction, Daniel Santiago SáEnz Tabares
Towards A Destructive, Unmonumental, Queer Hagiography: FéLix GonzáLez Torres And The Spiritual- Activist Potential Of Destruction, Daniel Santiago SáEnz Tabares
Conexión Queer: Revista Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Teologías Queer
This article presents an examination of two artworks by the late Cuban- American artist Félix González Torres, focusing primarily on the destructive strategies and theological potential of his work. After describing the activist and counter-monumental dimensions of «Untitled» (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) (1991) and «Untitled» (Lover Boys) (1991), the author examines these two pieces, as well as the artist’s life more generally, through the lens of queer martyrdom and queer theology to postulate a hagiographic take on González Torres’ life and oeuvre. Far from a definitive biographical study, this analysis is the result of interdisciplinary research mixed with …

Effeminacy In The Shadow Of Empire: The Politics Of Transgressive Gender In Josephus's Bellum Judaicum, Jason Von Ehrenkrook
Effeminacy In The Shadow Of Empire: The Politics Of Transgressive Gender In Josephus's Bellum Judaicum, Jason Von Ehrenkrook
Jason von Ehrenkrook
[...]it is now widely agreed that gender in antiquity was viewed, at least from the perspective of the surviving male elite literary sources (an important qualification indeed!), through a single-gender, and not surprisingly androcentric, conceptual framework.6 Virginia Burras 's recent assessment of the current state of scholarship is worth noting in this regard: [...]I have argued that Josephus's invective against John and his rebel cohort should be read within a wider Roman discourse on trasgressive gender, both the tendency in political invective to cast tyrants as effeminate objects of anal penetration, as well as the gendered power structures integral to …
Woman Has Two Faces: Re-Examining Eve And Lilith In Jewish Feminist Thought, Diana Carvalho
Woman Has Two Faces: Re-Examining Eve And Lilith In Jewish Feminist Thought, Diana Carvalho
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Throughout the religious history of American feminism, Jewish feminist biblical interpretation shifted attention away from Eve as a viable example of women's identities. Instead, Lilith, the independent, "demon" and "first wife" of Adam is praised as a symbol of female sexuality for "Transformationist" Jewish feminists. Re-claiming Lilith as the "first Eve," "Transformationist" Jewish feminists turn scripture on its head. Eve's creation and her actions in Genesis are interpreted as a product of patriarchy and male dominance, while Lilith in the midrashic narrative, the Alphabet of Ben Sira, is used by Jewish feminists to reclaim their identities on religious and …

The Ties That Bind: Experiences Of Family In Maine, 1900-Present, Univeristy Of Southern Maine, Susie Bock, Joseph S. Wood, Maureen Elgersman Lee, Abraham J. Peck, Howard M. Solomon
Publications (Annual Event Catalog)
The Ties That Bind opens a window to meaning in the material culture of Mainers outside the dominant culture. Focusing on family, the three Center scholars whose work is catalogued here provide a lens that allows us to peer through that window into something of the complex nature of difference. The three scholars reveal otherwise anonymous Maine people, whose very anonymity came from the difference that was culturally constructed to segregate them from the dominant culture. Family, which reflects something common to every different culture, works here to highlight unity in human diversity. In that way, family also provides a …
Review Of The Feminist Papers: From Adams To De Beauvoir By Alice S. Rossi, The Feminist Press
Review Of The Feminist Papers: From Adams To De Beauvoir By Alice S. Rossi, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
THE FEMINIST PAPERS: FROM ADAMS TO DE BEAUVOIR, edited by Alice S. Rossi (Columbia University Press, 1973: $12.95; Bantam, 1974: $1.95), will be welcomed as a text by teachers and students in need of a single collection of "essential" feminist writing both by theorists and activists. Chronicling the two hundred years of western feminist thought, this 716-page volume is impressive for its inclusiveness: twenty-two writers, plus selections from the History of Woman Suffrage.

Women's Studies Quarterly
HILLBILLY WOMEN by Kathy Kahn (Doubleday, 1973: $7.95) "tells what it means to be a woman when you are poor, when you are proud, and when you are a hillbilly."

Review Of Fragment From A Lost Diary And Other Stories: Women Of Asia, Africa, And Latin America By Naomi Katz, Nancy Milton, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
FRAGMENT FROM A LOST DIARY AND OTHER STORIES: WOMEN OF ASIA, AFRICA, AND LATIN AMERICA, edited by Naomi Katz and Nancy Milton (Pantheon, 1973: $10.00), contains twenty powerful stories (one of them in verse) thematically organized to catch the changing lives of women, chiefly in Asia (eleven stories) and Africa (seven stories). Such lives are bound not only to marriage, family, custom, and poverty, but to struggles for freedom in resistance movements above and below ground.
Review Of The Women, Yes! By Marie B. Hecht, Joan D. Berbrich, Salley A. Healey, Clare M. Cooper, The Feminist Press
Review Of The Women, Yes! By Marie B. Hecht, Joan D. Berbrich, Salley A. Healey, Clare M. Cooper, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
THE WOMEN, YES! by Marie B. Hecht, Joan D. Berbrich, Salley A. Healey, and Clare M. Cooper (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973: paperback, $5.95) is the first interdisciplinary feminist high school textbook on women. In four units of seven to nine chapters each, the editors offer analyses of major social and institutional forces which define and discriminate against women (advertising, history, law, economics, religion, sports, the arts, language); significant documents from the movement for women's rights; excerpts from American literature that portray women young and old; and recent essays by feminists involved in the current women's rights movement.

Women's Studies At Suny/Albany, June E. Hahner
Women's Studies Quarterly
Women's studies at the State University of New York at Albany began in the fall of 1971 with a course on Women in Modern Literature offered through the School of General Studies. The following fall the faculty Women's Caucus at SUNY/Albany formed a subcommittee to develop a women's studies program, which by the spring of 1973 offered an undergraduate minor. We now face new decisions.
