Standing in the Light
In fall of 1998, Corpus Christi Church in Rochester, N.Y. underwent the loss of its priest, its female pastoral assistant and most of its staff over the issues of the role of women in leadership, the blessing of homosexual unions, and an invitation to "anyone who loves the Lord" to share in communion at Mass. That winter, about a third of the parish formed a new church, Spiritus Christi. In February of 1999 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester announced that those who had joined the new parish had incurred automatic excommunication. Spiritus Christi is today a thriving community of about 1,500 people, renting space for services in three Protestant churches in downtown Rochester. The community runs a Prison Ministry, a Mental Health Outreach, and the Grace of God Recovery House. This is the story of a community that had to face profound spiritual questions about their relationship to the church and their responsibility as Christians to live the Gospel message: it's a story about the cost of discipleship. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support the Spritus Christi Prison Ministry.
Bound in a River of Light
This little book is a collection of essays on discipleship and community, and one story, written for the Spiritus Christi community in Rochester, New York. Taken together, these essays become the story of one woman's inner journey through mid-life. Beginning at a time when the author still had children at home, the essays move through her time in seminary and her work at St. Joseph's House of Hospitality, the Rochester Catholic Worker, as she explores God's call and learns that life after children is full and rich after all. Profits from the sale of this book will benefit the Spiritus Christi Mental Health Ministry.
Women Called to Catholic Priesthood
"Callahan and Rodriguez explore the contexts, calls, journeys, spirituality, and theology of women called to priesthood in the Roman Catholic church in this compelling and carefully crafted ethnographic work. The authors encourage readers to thoughtfully engage the ecclesial challenges and spiritual renewal uncovered in these womenpriests' stories"--
Ernaux, Redonnet, Bâ et Ben Jelloun
Dans La Femme gelée (1981) d'Ernaux, Splendid Hôtel (1986) de Redonnet, Une si Longue Lettre (1979) de Bâ, et dans L'Enfant de sable (1985) et La Nuit sacrée (1987) de Ben Jelloun, les personnages féminins principaux sont déchirés entre les valeurs traditionnelles acquises pendant l'enfance et les valeurs modernes de sociétés en pleine évolution. Acceptant et prenant leurs responsabilités, ces personnages surmontent les épreuves de la vie et deviennent des membres actifs de la société, adoptant de nouveaux référents identitaires tout en conservant ceux du passé. L'évolution vers l'identité rhizomatique caractérise donc ces personnages féminins d'un nouveau genre à l'aube du XXIème siècle.
On Monique Wittig
Monique Wittig, who died in January 2003, was a leading French feminist, social theorist, prose poet, and novelist--and an activist who helped start the lesbian and women's liberation movements in France. This collection of essays by Wittig and on her work is the first sustained examination in English of her broad-ranging political, literary, and theoretical viewpoints. On Monique Wittig contains twelve essays, representing French, Francophone, and U.S. critics, including three previously unpublished pieces by Wittig herself. Among the essays is Diane Griffin Crowder's discussion of the U.S. feminist movement, Linda Zerilli's consideration of gender and will, and Teresa de Lauretis's examination of the development of lesbian theory. Together, these essays situate Wittig's work in terms of the cultural contexts of its production and reception. This volume also contains the first authenticated chronology of Wittig's life and features the first translation of "For a Movement of Women's Liberation," which Wittig published with other "militantes" in May 1970. As the first book to appear on Wittig following her death, On Monique Wittig is an indispensable tool for feminist scholars.
Writing Otherwise
Essentially a comparative and contrastive analysis, Writing Otherwise examines the prose of five French women authors: Liliane Atlan, Marguerite Duras, Liliane Giraudon, Marie Redonnet, and Monique Wittig. Through close readings of texts published after 1985, this book explores the broad concerns and preoccupations infusing the ontological enterprise that is écriture. While maintaining a sensitivity to the diversity of styles and themes, as well as the unique qualities of the poetic voice evident in the five texts under consideration, this study seeks to highlight, in very general terms, what is common to them. The intertextual ground that informs the works, the construction of subjectivity, and the ambivalence and tension inherent to the practice writing constitute significant and important areas of convergence. These features form the ground of each chapter, while specific areas of divergence complete the discussion of individual aesthetics. Inspired by feminist literary theory, Writing Otherwise is also concerned with how these five women writers negotiate their relationship to writing.
