 Call for Articles MFF vol. 46, no. 1 (Summer 2010) Woman, Man, God: In the medieval period as in our own, religious and political authorities theorize social relations between men and women in terms of their relation to the divine, according to their likeness or unlikeness to God. In this way the divine gender assumes real significance, and so human gender becomes a primary criterion for assessing likeness or unlikeness to God, and in this, social and spiritual status. Medieval Feminist Forum requests papers for an issue devoted to the relationship between gender, divinity, and social ordering, construed as broadly as possible. Specifically, the editors seek papers that explore the ways in which the taxonomic category of gender is imagined in relation to conceptions of the divine, and/or the ways in which these categories are applied in social ordering. Please send, by December 15, 2009, finished papers of 20-25 pages following the conventions of the Chicago Manual of Style. Please also forward a current curriculum vitae that includes your present affiliation and contact information. Abstracts of 100 words and informal inquiries are strongly before the December 15th deadline. Please send all submissions and all queries to: Marla Segol and Ilan Mitchell-Smith msegol@skidmore.edu Marla Segol | |
