For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Violence, Gender and Religion - A Feminist Response?

category dublin | gender and sexuality | event notice author Sunday September 10, 2006 01:21author by redjade Report this post to the editors

starts October 2nd, Dun Laoghaire

Militarist symbols, language, practices and philosophies appear to have become the public face of religion in the 21st century. Fundamentalist religions and politics dance together, hand in hand, threatening all future life on this planet.

Violence, Gender and Religion - A Feminist Response? (starts October 2nd, Dun Laoghaire)

Institute for Feminism and Religion Autumn Course

Venue: School of Nursing, St. Michael's Hospital, Dunlaoire
Date: Monday evenings, October 2nd to December 4th (7:30 - 9:30 approx.)
Cost: euro 140 plus cost of photocopying.

Militarist symbols, language, practices and philosophies appear to have become the public face of religion in the 21st century. Fundamentalist religions and politics dance together, hand in hand, threatening all future life on this planet.

Feminist theorists know that the Beautiful Souls (women) and Just Warrior (men) division is largely mythical. Both women and men, in different ways, support war. Why then, in the twenty-first century, have we not found civilised means of resolving conflict? How would a gendered analysis throw light on what is at stake?

In this course we will examine state of the art theory on gender and war and the work of writers such as Hanna Arendt, Helen Caldicott, Mary Daly, Dorothy Day, Andrea Dworkin, Barbara Ehrenreich, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Martha Nussbaum, Arundhati Roy, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Dorothee Söelle, and Simone Weil.

Our aim will be to raise consciousness with regard to those languages, symbols, images and theologies that support violence, and to foster theoretical and imaginative responses.

We will ask these questions: What practical and theoretical strategies can we find in feminist theologies and theories to challenge militarism? What resources sustain those who adopt a prophetic critique? What kind of spiritual and other practices would enable us to imagine and plan for a peaceful future for the earth and all its children?
