Measuring the Quantum State of Light
Appendix A: Semiclassical approximation
Justice in the Making
Beverly Harrison has long fought for women and others at the margins, challenging the subjugating ways in which women's intellectual contributions, their gifts of ministerial leadership, and their reproductive capacity and sexual identity have been defined. This collection of essays and lectures, presented over the course of her career, demonstrates the progression of Harrison's contribution to the field of Christian ethics and the evolution of her thought in response to changing social realities.
Can Women Re-Image the Church?
'Can Women Re-Image the Church?' is a bold and provocative exploration for women within the church who feel alienated by traditional patriarchal theology. This book speaks of a new vision, a new way of thinking that incorporates the voices and thoughts of women within a theological world that understands and supports them. Through a process called re-imaging, author Rosemary Chinnici separates the reality of the feminine experience from the centuries-old and sometimes stilted beliefs that have been handed down to us. She uses the principles of psychology that include women's voices and sets them in dialogue with feminist theology. According to Chinnici, every woman has the right and the auth...
Working Alliances and the Politics of Difference
Employing historical case studies of how alliances work at particular moments in the histories of feminist, anti-racist, and queer social movements, Working Alliances and the Politics of Difference addresses questions of agency and action; universalism and relativism; the production of norms and values; the construction of social movements, publics and counter-publics; and the workings of alliances.
Feminist Critical Negotiations
This volume is a collection of original contributions in the field of feminist critical theory which reflect upon past practices and suggest new strategies and directions for future work. The articles are presented in two non-exclusive, interactive sections: "Theorizing Feminist Criticism" and "The Feminist Writing Subject." They offer different points of entry into the familiar debates that have dominated feminist literary criticism for over a decade. The contributions stage negotiations with literary critical and feminist theory which are productive of different perspectives and new strategies for reading and writing.
Saving Jesus from Those Who Are Right
In this theological resource for spiritual transformation and social change, Carter Heyward rethinks the figure Jesus and his import for church, academy, and society. Rather than focus on the endlessly variable pictures of Jesus in contemporary biblical scholarship, and in radical opposition to the Jesus of the "Christian Right," Heyward presents "Jesus as our brother, infused with a sacred power and passion for embodying right (mutual) relation, and ourselves with him in this commitment." She goes on "to explore, concretely, how we might live this way."
Critical Caring
DeMarinis unabashedly argues that the use of religions, beliefs, symbols, and rituals--as well as other resources of the community of faith--are crucial to the therapeutic encounter in pastoral psychotherapy. Balancing "careful judgment" and "appropriate concern", she constructs a feminist methodology of critical caring, synthesized from the fields of pastoral psychology, feminist hermeneutics, and the psychology of religion.
The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Theology
This volume highlights the relevance of globalization and the insights of gender studies and religious studies for feminist theology. It focuses on the changing global contexts for the field and its movement towards new models of theology, distinct from the forms of traditional Christian systematic theology and of secular feminism.
Ecofeminism
Drawing on the insights of ecology, feminism, and socialism, ecofeminism's basic premise is that the ideology that authorizes oppression based on race, class, gender, sexuality, physical abilities, and species is the same ideology that sanctions the oppression of nature. In this collection of essays, feminist scholars and activists discuss the relationships among human begins, the natural environment, and nonhuman animals. They reject the nature/culture dualism of patriarchal thought and locate animals and humans within nature. The goal of these twelve articles is to contribute to the evolving dialogue among feminists, ecofeminists, animal liberationists, deep ecologists, and social ecologists in an effort to create a sustainable lifestyle for all inhabitants of the earth. Among the issues addressed are the conflicts between Green politics and ecofeminism, various applications of ecofeminist theory, the relationship of animal liberation to ecofeminism, harmful implications of the romanticized woman-nature association in Western culture, and cultural limitations of ecofeminism. In the series Ethics and Action, edited by Tom Regan.
On Being Unfinished
Gathered here for the first time are both published and unpublished writings of Anne E. Patrick, a leading feminist Catholic voice, revered both as a teacher and as a critical scholar of theology, ethics, literature, and the arts. Her scholarly publications broke new ground in a number of Catholic theological subdisciplines, including feminist ethics, liturgy, and contemporary expressions of religious life. This is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand post-Vatican II theological development in the Catholic Church in the US.
