Abstract

ABSTRACT The topic of abortion has continually received public attention in the United States, with men in leadership positions in the Church and presidential campaigns regularly speaking on it. While the dualistic pro-life versus pro-choice framework has been used by presidential candidates especially since the 1980’s, more recently it has framed public discussions about Eucharistic participation as well. In this article, I look at these discussions about Eucharistic participation with special attention to survivors of sexual assault. Reading this site where abortion, assault, and sacraments converge with hermeneutical tools taken from the work of Judith Butler and practices in trauma theory, this paper will focus especially on the effects of these practices on women who are faced with a challenge to their admittance to the Eucharistic space, which I argue is rooted in the misrecognition and essentialization of embodiment, and is a practice in a dissociative theology.

身体破碎:堕胎、虐待和基督的身体
堕胎的话题在美国一直受到公众的关注,在教会和总统竞选中担任领导职务的男性经常谈论这个话题。虽然自20世纪80年代以来,总统候选人一直使用反对堕胎与反对堕胎的二元框架,但最近它也框定了公众对参与圣餐的讨论。在这篇文章中,我着眼于这些关于参与圣餐的讨论,并特别关注性侵犯的幸存者。在这个网站上,堕胎、侵犯和圣礼与朱迪思·巴特勒(Judith Butler)的作品和创伤理论实践的解释学工具融合在一起,本文将特别关注这些实践对女性的影响,这些女性面临着进入圣餐空间的挑战,我认为这源于对化身的误解和本质化,是一种分离神学的实践。
