ABSTRACT As a small but growing number of evangelical congregations, organizations, and individuals have adopted certain pro-LGBTQ beliefs in recent years, an intriguing rhetorical strategy has emerged: these evangelicals are claiming in various ways that their newfound beliefs, far from being an impediment to their evangelical identity, actually render them more faithful evangelicals than their anti-LGBTQ counterparts. Through what I call a rhetoric of inverted belonging, those who have long been regarded as irrevocable outsiders of evangelicalism are portraying themselves as more rightful insiders than those who exteriorize them from their religious tradition. In this paper, I illustrate the rhetoric of inverted belonging through a variety of examples from the theological discourse of pro-LGBTQ evangelical individuals and institutions. Analyzing this discourse through the lens of a prevalent definition of an evangelical, I demonstrate how the rhetoric of inverted belonging poses a unique challenge to heteronormative theologies within evangelicalism today.
近年来,随着越来越多的福音派教会、组织和个人接受了某些支持lgbtq的信仰,一种有趣的修辞策略出现了:这些福音派人士以各种方式声称,他们的新信仰非但没有阻碍他们的福音派身份,反而使他们比那些反对lgbtq的人更忠实于福音派。通过我所说的颠倒归属的修辞,那些长期被认为是福音派不可改变的局外人的人,把自己描绘成更合法的局内人,而不是那些将他们从宗教传统中形象化的人。在本文中,我通过支持lgbtq的福音派个人和机构的神学话语中的各种例子来说明颠倒归属的修辞。通过对福音派的普遍定义来分析这个话语,我展示了在今天的福音主义中,颠倒归属的修辞是如何对异性恋规范神学提出独特挑战的。

Reproductive loss: toward a theology of bodies 生殖丧失:走向身体神学

ABSTRACT Reproductive loss—the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks—is estimated to occur in 20-50% of all pregnancies. It is a common human experience. However, it is an experience that is shrouded in silence and mystery. Not only is reproductive loss culturally taboo but given the marked absence of theological reflection on the experience, it would seem to be theologically taboo as well. The experience of reproductive loss raises profound theological questions about what it means to be (a gendered) human, issues of suffering, the providence of God, and eschatology. This research considers some of the reasons for this theological silence and begins to examine the experience of reproductive loss with the aim of taking the embodied experience of the miscarrying woman seriously as a site for theological reflection.
生殖丧失-在24周之前怀孕的损失-估计发生在所有怀孕的20-50%。这是人类共同的经历。然而,这是一种笼罩在沉默和神秘之中的体验。生殖丧失不仅在文化上是禁忌,而且鉴于神学上对这种经历的明显缺乏反思,这似乎也是神学上的禁忌。丧失生育能力的经历引发了一些深刻的神学问题:作为(有性别的)人类意味着什么,痛苦的问题,上帝的旨意,以及末世论。本研究考虑了这种神学沉默的一些原因,并开始研究生育丧失的经验,目的是认真地将流产妇女的具体化经验作为神学反思的场所。

Shīʿa neo-traditionalist scholars and theology of homosexuality: review and reflections on Mohsen Kadivar’s shifting approach 新传统主义学者与同性恋神学:对莫森·卡迪瓦转变方法的回顾与反思

ABSTRACT This article explores how Shīʿa neo-traditionalist scholars have formed views on the issue of homosexuality by applying Shīʿa Islamic version of ijtihād. This theme will be investigated with reference to Dr Shaykh Mohsen Kadivar’s shifting approaches on homosexuality. In response to questions he received from 2006 to 2014 from Shīʿa grassroots Muslims, Kadivar passed through three stages in his view of the issue of same-sex relationships moving from a harshly punitive to a merely tolerant and finally a more moderate position, albeit one that did not incorporate human rights. This article explores how Kadivar began by upholding an Islamic traditionalist homophobic view towards homosexuality in which same-sex relationships are perceived as a threat to Muslim societies so are, therefore, prohibited (ḥarām) and must be severely punished. Equally, it also explores how Kadivar developed a more tolerant perspective, by rejecting the traditional punishments of homosexuality, and then advocated a moderate view, by conceding that homosexual Muslims should have general civil rights. Although Kadivar is still reluctant to accept homosexual individuals as being permitted to fulfil their sexual desires and needs as their basic human rights, this article argues that a deeper reading of Kadivar’s scholarship demonstrates that his theological repertoire is extensive enough to have the capacity to permit practicing homosexuality in Islam. Kadivar seems to be sufficiently self-aware to recognize this capacity which initiated to develop and progress his Islamic approach on this issue since a decade ago, albeit slowly.
摘要:本文探讨了新传统主义学者shyi - yi如何运用伊斯兰教的shyi - yi版本ijtihād对同性恋问题形成看法。这一主题将参考Shaykh Mohsen Kadivar博士对同性恋态度的转变进行调查。在回答2006年至2014年间,他收到的来自什叶派草根穆斯林的问题时,卡迪瓦尔对同性关系问题的看法经历了三个阶段,从严厉的惩罚到仅仅宽容,最后是一个更温和的立场,尽管这个立场没有纳入人权。这篇文章探讨了卡迪瓦尔是如何开始坚持伊斯兰传统主义对同性恋的恐同观点的,在这种观点中,同性关系被视为对穆斯林社会的威胁,因此被禁止(ḥarām),必须受到严惩。同样,它还探讨了卡迪瓦尔如何通过拒绝对同性恋的传统惩罚而发展出一种更宽容的观点,然后通过承认同性恋穆斯林应该享有一般的公民权利而倡导一种温和的观点。尽管卡迪瓦尔仍然不愿意接受同性恋者被允许满足他们的性欲望和需求作为他们的基本人权,但本文认为,深入阅读卡迪瓦尔的学术研究表明,他的神学曲目足够广泛,足以允许在伊斯兰教中实践同性恋。卡迪瓦尔似乎有足够的自我意识,认识到这种能力,这种能力从十年前就开始在这个问题上发展和推进他的伊斯兰方法,尽管速度很慢。

ABSTRACT After providing background information on the legal status and admission of LGBTIAQ* pastors in Germany, the paper focusses on experiences of LGBTQ* Protestant pastors in the major German Protestant church (Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland) to explore how they include their sexual orientation and/or gender in their pastoral work. LGBTIAQ* pastors face the challenge of managing visibility and discretion, in relation to a heteronormative setting, as well as the specific expectations of LGBTIAQ* Christians. The presumption of shared experiences and knowledge by similarly marginalized people plays a part in their ministry. The paper argues that embracing those experiences and community knowledge as part of pastoral theology can strengthen their reflection on pastoral work.
在介绍了德国LGBTIAQ*牧师的法律地位和准入背景后,本文将重点放在德国主要新教教会(Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland)的LGBTQ*新教牧师的经历上,探讨他们如何将性取向和/或性别纳入他们的教牧工作中。LGBTIAQ*牧师面临着管理能见度和判断力的挑战,这与异性恋规范的环境有关,以及LGBTIAQ*基督徒的具体期望。假设同样被边缘化的人分享经验和知识,在他们的事工中发挥了作用。本文认为,将这些经历和社区知识作为牧灵神学的一部分,可以加强他们对牧灵工作的反思。

Messianic language in trans public speech* 跨性别公共演讲中的弥赛亚语言*

ABSTRACT This essay examines how two trans public figures, Lou Sullivan and Jennifer Finney Boylan, try to realize the need for transgender legibility through messianic rhetoric. Messianism is a site of contention in queer theory, between advocates for either antirelational queer theory or queer utopianism. This essay sees messianic rhetoric as a strategy found in the public speech and writing of Sullivan and Boylan, each of whom instrumentalize it to achieve legibility. Such rhetoric works to the political end of broader transgender acceptance. However, it also relies upon a flattening of trans life into a monolith. Messianic rhetoric legitimates a singular narrative of “how to be trans” through excluding other possibilities. Public speech that rejects this universalizing messianic impulse is possible. The zine “Fucking Trans Women” represents such a possibility, focusing attention on experience and pleasure over narrative linearity, thus providing one path forward for trans public speech.
本文考察了两位跨性别公众人物卢·沙利文和詹妮弗·芬尼·博伊兰如何通过弥赛亚式的修辞来实现跨性别易读性的需求。弥赛亚主义是酷儿理论争论的焦点,在反关系酷儿理论和酷儿乌托邦主义的倡导者之间。本文将弥赛亚修辞视为沙利文和博伊兰在公开演讲和写作中发现的一种策略,他们都将其作为工具来实现易读性。这样的说辞是为了达到更广泛地接受跨性别者的政治目的。然而,它也依赖于变性人生活的扁平化。弥赛亚的修辞通过排除其他可能性,使“如何变性”的单一叙事合法化。拒绝这种普遍的弥赛亚冲动的公开演讲是可能的。《他妈的跨性别女人》杂志代表了这样一种可能性,它把注意力放在体验和愉悦上,而不是叙事的线性上,从而为跨性别公共演讲提供了一条前进的道路。

ABSTRACT This collection of essays arose from the conference “Sex on the Margins: Navigating Religious, Social, and Natural Scientific Models of Sex Differences,” February 24–26, 2017, at Boston University. Scholars examined how our growing knowledge of sex, gender, and sexual diversity impacts binary models of sex that continue to hold sway in most religious and natural scientific examinations of human nature, including their practical application in medical approaches to differently sexed and gendered bodies. The authors call for a nuanced, interdisciplinary approach to sex difference which respects and protects minorities without eliding statistically significant binary patterns of human experience.
本论文集源于2017年2月24日至26日在波士顿大学举行的“边缘性别:探索性别差异的宗教、社会和自然科学模型”会议。学者们研究了我们对性、性别和性多样性的不断增长的知识是如何影响二元性模型的,这些二元性模型在大多数宗教和自然科学对人性的检验中仍然占据主导地位,包括它们在医学方法中对不同性别和性别的身体的实际应用。作者呼吁对性别差异采取一种微妙的、跨学科的方法,在尊重和保护少数群体的同时,不忽略人类经验中具有统计学意义的二元模式。

“You knit me together in my mother’s womb”: a theology of creation and divine action in light of intersex “你在我母亲的子宫里把我编织在一起”:一种关于双性人的创造和神圣行为的神学

ABSTRACT Some Christian theologians and intersex Christians maintain that intersex is part of God’s good and intended creation, in contrast to those who view intersex as a pathological result of fallen nature. The former claim that intersex bodies “are how God made them” and that “God does not make mistakes;” however, these statements risk implying a belief in special creation or divine intervention, two theological positions which have been challenged by evolutionary theory and contemporary natural sciences. This paper provides a more nuanced theology of creation and divine action as a foundation for a positive theology of intersex. Drawing from the work of Thomas Aquinas on primary and secondary causality, the author argues that God, as primary cause, creates the intersex person through the free interplay of secondary causes, in the same way and to the same extent that God acts in the creation of every other person.
一些基督教神学家和双性基督徒坚持认为双性人是上帝美好和有意创造的一部分,与那些将双性人视为堕落本性的病理结果的人形成鲜明对比。前者声称,阴阳人的身体是“上帝创造的”,“上帝不会犯错”;然而,这些说法有可能暗示相信特殊创造或神的干预,这两种神学立场已经受到进化论和当代自然科学的挑战。本文提供了一个更细致入微的创造神学和神圣的行动,作为一个积极的双性人神学的基础。根据托马斯·阿奎那(Thomas Aquinas)关于主要和次要因果关系的著作,作者认为,上帝作为主要原因,通过次要原因的自由相互作用创造了双性人,以同样的方式和程度创造了其他所有人。

Reading the writing in the margins: dysfunction, disjunction, disgust, and the bodies of others 阅读空白处的文字:功能失调、脱节、厌恶和他人的身体

ABSTRACT Intersex’s representation as “border case,” explored via six fictional treatments of unusually sexed bodies, echoes the ways “atypical” and “marginal” sex and sexuality receive attention to defer focus on that never queried because it seems so ordinary. Across the novels, the purported otherness of the intersex character highlights the dysfunctionality of those around them. In this way, dysfunction, disjunction, and disgust exist across the relationships and dynamics surrounding the scapegoated identity and are a means to avoid the hard work of critical self-reflection on the parts of those who do not usually deem themselves “other.” If the supporting characters in all these novels are guilty of failing fully to explore their own marginality, the same has frequently happened with religious bodies’ attitudes to intersex, and this is discussed with reference to accounts of intersex in Judaism and Islam, and tensions surrounding the casting out of sexual “violators” in one Christian tradition.
双性人作为“边界案例”的表现,通过对异常性别的身体的六种虚构处理进行了探索,呼应了“非典型”和“边缘”性和性行为受到关注的方式,从而推迟了人们对这些问题的关注,因为它们看起来太普通了。在整部小说中,双性人角色的异类特征凸显了他们周围人的功能失调。通过这种方式,功能障碍、脱节和厌恶存在于围绕替罪羊身份的关系和动态中,是避免那些通常不认为自己是“他者”的人进行批判性自我反思的一种手段。如果所有这些小说中的配角都因未能充分探索自己的边缘性而感到内疚,那么宗教团体对双性人的态度也经常发生同样的情况,这是通过犹太教和伊斯兰教对双性人的描述来讨论的,以及在一个基督教传统中,围绕着驱逐性“违规者”而产生的紧张关系。

In this way, dysfunction, disjunction, and disgust exist across the relationships and dynamics surrounding the scapegoated identity and are a means to avoid the hard work of critical self-reflection on the parts of those who do not usually deem themselves “other.” If the supporting characters in all these novels are guilty of failing fully to explore their own marginality, the same has frequently happened with religious bodies’ attitudes to intersex, and this is discussed with reference to accounts of intersex in Judaism and Islam, and tensions surrounding the casting out of sexual “violators” in one Christian tradition.","PeriodicalId":42039,"journal":{"name":"Theology & Sexuality","volume":"37 1","pages":"72 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76493175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Intersex individuals are often told they are not human beings because they do not neatly fit into the categories of “female” and “male.” Many are made to feel like monsters. Christianity enforces this model of sexual dimorphism with the notion that to be a human being means to be created clearly “female” or clearly “male” in the image of God. This paper draws on interviews with German intersex Christians to explore their diverse images of God and what it means to be created in God’s image with the goal of creating new “conditions of possibility” that represent the full range of human sex/gender.
阴阳人经常被告知他们不是人类,因为他们不能完全符合“女性”和“男性”的分类。很多人都觉得自己像怪物。基督教强化了这种两性二态性的模式,它的概念是,作为一个人,意味着按照上帝的形象被明确地创造为“女性”或“男性”。本文通过对德国双性基督徒的采访,探讨他们对上帝的不同形象,以及以创造新的“可能性条件”为目标创造上帝的形象意味着什么,这些条件代表了人类性/性别的全部范围。
