FIRST CIRCULAR "MULIER, QUID PLORAS?" (JN 20.15). IMAGES AND READINGS OF THE FEMININE IN THE FATHERS OF THE CHURCH.
The
feminine has been a recurring topic in the authors of the patristics and has
occupied a great place in their exegetical, poetic or historical works.
However, the interest of these authors was not only directed to the analysis of
anthropological issues related to women, their place in creation and history,
but that “feminine” can be identified as an independent attribute associated
with certain behaviors and procedures, both human as divine.
Christianity
evoked from its beginnings the spiritual equality of men and women, thus
generating a great attraction in the believers, who quickly became diffusers of
the new faith; However, the rhetoric about the feminine does not accompany this
enthusiasm, since the authors of the patristics gave speeches that in many
cases associated it with weakness and instability, situations very close to
sin.
The question that Jesus addresses to Mary Magdalene in the tomb, "Woman, why are you crying?", Becomes in our contemporary world a call to revisit and critically review the contributions that the first Christian literature and the Eastern and Western patristic literature have made us legacy in terms of images and readings of the feminine.
We
then call on the different disciplines of the broad field of philosophical,
theological, historical, linguistic and artistic studies to share their
contributions according to these coordinates:
-
Feminist Biblical Exegesis
-
Art and Iconography
-
Body, virginity, motherhood and sexual morality
-
Discipleship, leadership and patronage
-
The feminine in the discourses on God, the Church and heresy.
-
Mariology
-
Martyrdom and monasticism
-
Margins and dissidence
-
Writers, mystics and founders
We
hope that your response to our call will help us to continue building bridges
for this "fusion of horizons", so necessary in the search for balance
and vitality of the Sciences of Religions and Humanities.
