Offizielle Kursbeschreibung:
The Hebrew Bible speaks mostly of men. But it includes also Four Matriarchs (Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel) and four prophets (Miriam, Deborah, Hulda, and Noadia). Women in the Bible take important roles in challenging and shaping the norms and laws of their society (Tamar, The Daughters of Zelophehad); they are heroines who save lives (Yael, Esther) and at other times victims of a patriarchic society (Dina, Amnon and Tamar, Yiftach's daughter). They are childless or give birth, pray, immigrate, suffer hunger, or enjoy the privileges of monarchy. They are pious or commit idolatry, they demand justice or commit plots. This seminar will explore Female power in face of their Gender and social disadvantages. What can we learn today from the biblical women? How do modern feminists view the women in the Bible? How do women act in the face of power, under a patriarchic order, which disadvantages them? And can we learn something from these revolutionary women today?
This seminar offers an overview of contemporary Jewish feminist thought and its discontents in Jewish tradition. Beginning with early examples of Jewish feminism in the Bible, the course will engage with the experience of women and with feminist philosophy and theology in present literature.
