  This position paper by four key researchers from two projects (one in Norway and one in Sweden) aims to define and discuss terms and concepts in Gender Studies. It is inspired by the concept of dialogue as a method of academic writing and discusses the methods, results, challenges and choices made in the two projects. While they both aimed to create and discuss a vocabulary for Gender Studies and gender research, the projects took shape from different approaches, and produced different results. In this position paper, we discuss the meaning of doing conceptual work and deciding on definitions of terms. Our aim is not to determine which approach is “better”, but rather to understand how the field of Gender Studies and gender research is being built.

  马克思和恩格斯有许多著作论及基督教,其中包括《共产党宣言》。《启示录》在圣经中占有醒目位置,马克思和恩格斯对之特别关注。马克思和恩格斯对《启示录》的论述主要集中于以下四种文献,分别是马克思的《批判的末日的审判》,即《神圣家族》第九章,和《德意志意识形态》一书,恩格斯的论文《启示录》和《论原始基督教的历史》。《启示录》是唯一经常出现于马克思和恩格斯著作中的圣经经卷。《启示录》有一些特点,它们非常适合于马克思和恩格斯表述其关于历史发展的整个理论。马克思和恩格斯通过研究《启示录》为社会主义运动指明方向。乌托邦具有冲击力。基督教是一个关于成功的故事。马克思的某些著作具有圣经格调。早期和晚期马克思主义文献之间存在着差异。《启示录》宣示出来的幽灵频繁再现。马克思和恩格斯著作至今具有重大的研究潜质,能够为人们清晰认识当代社会变动的总趋势提供深刻启迪。

  This article demonstrates how key Anglophone feminist theoretical terms may be translated and affects perception and analysis of texts written in Norwegian and Latvian in particular. For this purpose a very established distinction within Anglophone, feminist theory is selected for special scrutiny, the distinction between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. In this article the authors have traced both the history of the term ’gender’ especially as part of the ‘sex-gender’ distinction, i.e. ‘gender’ as a description of socio-cultural role and personal identity, and the translation of this distinction into Norwegian and Latvian. ‘Gender’ in English language is a neutral, descriptive term, while ‘gender’ in inadequate translation or in untranslated form has been imported into many Eastern European languages and given a different and intended negative meaning. The authors of the article note that literary and cultural theories formulated in one language make themselves dependent on the possibilities of that language. The concepts of feminism and gender are culturally differentiated and each culture and language perceives them in its own way, frequently creating the dissonance between power and culture, between theory, general normative acts and their perception in society. Therefore, the concepts of feminism and gender should be researched in the context of national cultural history and political agenda. This article may be of interest to researchers in the field of humanities and social sciences. Keywords: sex/gender distinction, meaning, translation, untranslatable, science communication

  The article is a case study demonstrating that the Bible at the end of the 19th century could still function as a common rhetorical tool, a frame of reference, and a common court of appeal in important public debates. The case in question is the Anglophone debate over women’s rights, voice, and vote on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean around 1890. The article analyzes three different lay positions represented by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Christina Rossetti, and Heber Hart. They represent three different directions that reception of the Bible with regard to gender equality and women’s authorial voice could take in this period. The article also argues that a concept of gender equality goes several centuries further back than what is often thought, and that the early development of the concept in a pre-secularized intellectual environment needs much further scholarly attention.

  his volume is the first in The Bible and Women series, which presents a new interpretation of the Bible and its reception in the West focused on the history of women and issues of gender. It introduces the series, explaining the choice of the Hebrew canon in connection with the Christian tradition and opening the way for a changed view of women throughout the series. The contributors explore the theological meaning of the collection of canonical writings and the social-historical background of ancient Near Eastern women’s lives, both of which play key roles in the series. Turning to the Pentateuch, essays address a variety of texts and issues still relevant today, such as creation and male-female identity in the image of God, women’s roles in the genealogies of the Pentateuch and in salvation history, the rights and responsibilities of women according to the Hebrew Bible’s legal and ritual texts, and how archaeology and iconography can illustrate the texts of the Torah.

  Der Artikel befasst sich mit feministischer Exegese im größeren Kontext ihrer Legitimation in den akademischen Religionswissenschaften und in der feministischen Forschung; in feministischen und religiösen Bewegungen und Institutionen, und in politischen Systemen, besonders im norwegischen staatlich-feministischen System. Feministische Exegese wurde oft als eigentlich traditionelle Methode dargestellt, die aus feministischen Basisbewegungen heraus entstanden ist. Dies mag für das 20. Jahrhundert zutreffend sein, jedoch ist eine Analyse der Art und Weise, wie sich die Bewegungen und Trends einander immer mehr angleichen, wichtig, um die feministische Exegese, wie wir sie jetzt kennen, überhaupt möglich zu machen. Ich wähle einen Zugang, der von politischen Theorien beeinflusst ist, um das Zusammenspiel der feministischen Exegese mit dem größeren politischen institutionellen System aufzeigen zu können in dem sie sich bewegt. So soll deutlich werden, in welch hohem Ausmaß die feministische Exegese in ihren akademischen, religiösen und politischen Feldern von solchen Systemen bestimmt und auch ermöglicht wird. Während die feministische Exegese im Bereich der biblischen Forschung häufig eher eine Randerscheinung darstellt, ist im politischen Umfeld des staatlichen Feminismus die biblische Forschung die Randerscheinung; die feministische Exegese hingegen erscheint an dieser Stelle als Methode, die der Bibel eine zeitgenössischen kulturellen Sinn geben kann – und so auch deren Einfluss aufrecht erhält.

  The richly varied collection of 13 essays in this volume showcase the afterlife of the Book of Revelation. It is a biblical book that has left its mark in many fields of intellectual endeavour: literature, film, music, philosophy, political theology, and religious ideology. It is perhaps paradoxical that this book, which promises God’s punishment upon anyone expanding on its contents, has nevertheless accumulated to itself over two millennia vast amounts of commentary, exposition, and appropriation. Offered at the close of the ‘Blair/Bush years’, this volume also exposes and highlights the often deeply ironic resonances generated while studying the reception history of Revelation during a period when the book has both significant public currency and a potentially terrifying global impact.

  How were ideas and experiences of transformation expressed in early Christianity and early Judaism? This volume explores the social and philosophical frameworks within which transformative ideas such as resurrection and practices of becoming “a new being” were shaped. It also explores the analogies and parameters by which transformation was being observed, noted and asserted. The focus on transformation helps to connect topics that tend to be studied separately, such as cosmology, resurrection, aging, gender, and conversion.

  his volume is the first in The Bible and Women series, which presents a new interpretation of the Bible and its reception in the West focused on the history of women and issues of gender. It introduces the series, explaining the choice of the Hebrew canon in connection with the Christian tradition and opening the way for a changed view of women throughout the series. The contributors explore the theological meaning of the collection of canonical writings and the social-historical background of ancient Near Eastern women’s lives, both of which play key roles in the series. Turning to the Pentateuch, essays address a variety of texts and issues still relevant today, such as creation and male-female identity in the image of God, women’s roles in the genealogies of the Pentateuch and in salvation history, the rights and responsibilities of women according to the Hebrew Bible’s legal and ritual texts, and how archaeology and iconography can illustrate the texts of the Torah.

  Jorunn Økland argumenterer for at en poststrukturalistisk tilnærming til språk, tekst og litteratur fortsatt har mye å bidra med, og gir eksempler fra egen forskning på dette. Samtidig påpeker hun at poststrukturalismen er mangelfull som universalforklaring på hva kjønn er.
