  The chapter takes as a point of departure Pausanias's Description of Greece approached as a cultural memory log. Among a myriad of other things, he presents a plethora of locations, myths, stories, monument descriptions, etc. attached to the ancient Greek goddess Hera under her various epithets. In the process, he exemplifies the importance of space, place, and materiality in our structuring of memory—not least shared, cultural memory. Pausanias reminds the reader of ancient deities inhabiting the landscapes since long before the Romans and “revisits” them in their places. He discusses monuments and people's reported actions and their possible motifs; he weighs evidence and conflicting views, at times in critical, almost “modern” ways, still leaving it to the readers to judge for themselves. The obvious case area is North-Eastern Peloponnese, in Pausanias simply called “Argeia,” which was also the region's main, and very ancient, cult epithet of Hera.

  It is often pointed out that ancient Athenian democracy, with its notion of citizenship, was still one of radical inequality. It is also pointed out that in terms of gender and sexuality, ancient Greeks found it impossible to think of two persons without thinking of them as constituting a hierarchy in some sense. Yet terms that are translated “equality” in modern English did exist, and one of them is isotes. The paper will address the modern urgency of this term in gender theory, and preliminarily explore its ancient conceptual history. Other terms at least implied some level of what we today would call equal worth between the citizens themselves, namely terms and notions of unity and community. So the paper will explore the extent to which also Pauline concepts and values of unity and community (e.g., ekklēsia) could express in other words something similar.

  What is the relationship between feminism and philosophy today? Although feminist philosophy is now a recognized field in the institution of philosophy, a tension between the terms feminism and philosophy persists. From the perspective of philosophy, feminist philosophy may seem too committed to political change. From the perspective of feminism, the practice of philosophy may seem too far removed from the pressing concerns of injustice in ordinary life. This volume is an interdisciplinary initiative at the intersection of philosophy, the history of ideas, and feminist theory, where philosophy is scrutinized from a feminist perspective and asks questions about what philosophy has to ofer feminism.

  “Ancient Persia and the “Persian Period” have been important for the production of biblical literature. This essay presents Jane Dieulafoy, French explorer, excavator of Susa, writer, and ethnographer, whose work complemented the knowledge produced by biblical scholars – through studies of material remains, archaeological excavations, and ethnographic fieldwork. Based on and inspired by her findings in the mentioned research areas, she turned her prize-winning novel on the Ancient Persian queen Parysatis into a libretto for a drame lyrique (an operatic sub-genre) of the same name, with incidental music by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The drama is discussed under the umbrella of reception history, including the reception history of the Persian Empire in the imperial ambitions of 19th Century France. Dieulafoy’s interest in the opera format, as demonstrated through the libretto for Parysatis, represents the convergence point for her research areas, cultural engagements and political entanglements

  This chapter analyses the terms with which Paul of Tarsus designates various sacred spaces—hieron, naos, eidoleion, ekklesia—in conversation with the archaeology of sacred spaces, research on the Pauline house churches, and with the help of theories of space, new materialism, and the sacred. The chapter starts with an introduction of the analytical frameworks and ends with ideas about ‘monumentalization’: that the social-structural relations between people in a sacred space tended to materialize over time into purpose-built buildings—hence the double meanings of synagogue, ekklesia, and hieron as designations both of assemblies and later of the buildings accommodating the respective assemblies. A central argument is that Paul’s letters constitute a special case in the development of the early Christian ekklesia and the parallel development of the synagogue, because in Paul’s time the temple in Jerusalem was still standing and was a self-evident part of his religious universe.

  KEYWORDS: Sexuality; Intimacies; Conceptual history and taxonomy (of sexual terminology); Pauline letters; Foreskin. ABSTRACT: The chapter presents key terms and concepts in the study of ancient gender and sexuality. It outlines how knowledge of the terms and concepts’ historical developments and their internal relations in Pauline usage is essential in order to grasp Paul’s positions as well as his own praxis. It also demonstrates how issues of gender and sexuality are at the core of Pauline theology. Rather than continuing the discussions of asceticism vs. marriage in Pauline literature, the chapter suggests that a more recent term borrowed from gender studies, ”intimacies”, may give new insights – not least into how Paul describes his own relationships to his most Significant Other(s). Key examples are Paul’s discussions of penises, foreskins and circumcision and their attached privileges (hierarchy or equality? Galatians 3-4); the role of asceticism (1 Corinthians). The chapter also includes a survey of how Paul describes his closest male and female partners.

  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.

  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

  In a comparative study of the manifesto genre, the chapter selects three manifestos that from the outset shares common traits, including glorification of death and violence, a preoccupation with gender, the ‘laying bare’ of future events, all from a marginal position in the present. The three are the biblical Book of Revelation, Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto, and Breivik’s 2083: A European Declaration of Independence. The modern manifestos demonstrate genre similarities and a continuity in themes, preoccupations compared to Revelation, but postulating direct dependence would mean going too far. Instead, the chapter demonstrates how the misogynist ideology of Revelation lives on in the clockwork of the genre it helped to create, long after any detailed knowledge of the text itself is forgotten.

  In her essay on sacred space in the Apocalypse of John, Økland demonstrates how aspects of the description of John’s vision of God’s throne room are evocative of other apocalyptic and rabbinic texts, yet also show resemblances to Graeco-Roman public religion, thereby offering a counter discourse to the Roman imperial order. Examples from architecture and statuary of ancient pagan temples suggest the possibility of reading John’s description of heaven as a sanctuary dedicated to Jupiter Capitolinus.

  Jorunn Økland har skrevet om Paulus' tro på gjenoppstandelsen etter døden. Dette representerer et synspunkt på kroppen som går helt tilbake til antikken og som ikke skiller på kartesiansk vis mellom det ytre, kroppslige og det indre, bevissthetsmessige. Det spørsmålet som Paulus' tilhørere stilte i forbindelse med troen på gjenoppstandelsen - en tro Paulus oppfattet som viten - er om den oppstandne kroppen ville være den samme som før døden eller en helt annen? I vår sammenheng kan vi se problemstillingene Økland diskuterer i en bredere kontekst. Det dreier seg om forholdet mellom tro og viten og et før-dualistisk synspunkt på kroppen. Kan en kroppsbasert fornemmelse av visshet forbinde biologi og religion?

  In First Corinthians, Paul makes two conflicting statements about women's speech: He crafts a difficult argument about whether men and women should cover their heads while praying or prophesying (11:2-16) and instructs women to be silent in the assembly (14:34-35). These two statements bracket an extended discussion about inspired modes of speech - prophecy and prayer in tongues. From these exegetical observations, Jill E. Marshall argues that gender is a central issue throughout 1 Corinthians 11-14 and the religious speaking practices that prompted Paul's response. She situates Paul's arguments about prayer and prophecy within their ancient Mediterranean cultural context, using literary and archaeological evidence, and examines the differences in how ancient writers described prophetic speech when voiced by a man or a woman.

  Most biblical scholars are aware of the way holiness and space are interlocked in the discourses surrounding such key biblical spaces as the tabernacle, the land, and the Temple in Jerusalem; most are also aware of how the holiness of those spaces materialized in different ways in different periods. A spatial-critical perspective can help us better appreciate how the relationship between notions of holiness and of space was a more dynamic one—as notions of space changed, notions of holiness changed, and vice versa. Critical perspectives open up further intriguing questions explored in the current volume, emerging out of the research programme “The Bible and Sacred Space” under the auspices of the European Association of Biblical Studies, launched in Dresden in 2005. Theoretically, the volume explores tools from critical spatial theory but strives to adjust them to critical studies of ancient spaces. The contributors are interested in how a variety of theories (such as ritual theory, psychoanalytical theory, speech act theory, narrative theory, etc.) can be used to tease out the spatial aspects of texts in the biblical tradition. The present volume is also informed by the development of liberation hermeneutics and the significance of location in the colonial systems of the world. Empirically, close, sensitive readings of sacred spaces with spatial and critical awareness are presented in two main sections, moving in a roughly canonical order through the texts of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and New Testament, also including two chapters dealing with intertestamental literature and a closing essay addressing more overarching issues and themes in relation to the sacred. The volume includes chapters by Klaus Bieberstein, Roland Boer, Nora David, David Jasper, Stuart Lasine, Liv Ingeborg Lied, Chris Meredith, Jorunn Økland, Tamara Prosic, Matthew Sleeman, Cornelius de Vos, and Karen Wenell.
