| Summary: | Susanne Hennecke raises the question of how a theological reading of the feminist discussion could benefit forms of female subjectivity. This question forms the backdrop to her reading of texts by Luce Irigaray and Donna Haraway. Both of these women develop post-structuralist influenced concepts of female subjectivity. Hennecke goes in search of the theological implications of these subject definitions in relation to god/the divine. She examines the tension between Irigaray's subject definition and that of Haraway and its importance to a 'theological' point of view. She bases her examination on the hypothesis that Irigaray and Haraway provide to some extent a feminist variation on the discussion between Feuerbach and Barth. She subsequently develops the parallels between lrigaray and Feuerbach on the one hand and Haraway and Barth on the other. Hennecke develops her comparison between Feuerbach and Irigaray by means of six key words. Irigaray reaches the conclusion that there is a necessity for the deification of women/the female. The fact that neither Feuerbach nor Irigaray are able to regard imperfection and fragmentation as positive predicates of human existence leads Hennecke to focus on a second formulation of female subjectivity, that of Donna Haraway. Hennecke draws a parallel between Haraway and Barth in their rejection of the divinisation of the modem subject. Where Barth talks of a 'ganz andere' God, Haraway develops a subject that lives as it were dependent on the mercy of another. Haraway explores her theme in a cyborg-jesuology among other things. In conclusion, Hennecke raises the question of what these discussions on the God-wo/man relationship and soteriology contribute to the developing of forms of female subjectivity. |
