Abstract:Nina Paley’s animated musical Seder-Masochism reimagines the story of the Exodus. To Paley, the Exodus is not the pinnacle of God’s relationship with Israel but the silencing of Goddess religion. Paley draws heavily on the work of some “goddess feminists” to argue that YHVH’s rise killed “the Goddess.” This article discusses how Seder-Masochism portrays goddess worship in the ancient world in general and ancient Israel and Judah in particular. Tamber-Rosenau explores how Paley’s filmic portrayals of goddesses interact with the current state of scholarship on ancient goddesses. She then shows how the film’s central thesis that God silenced and killed the Goddess connects with Paley’s antitransgender ideology.

Abstract:This paper examines Japanese female Christians’ writings published during the 1970s in a Japanese ecumenical periodical, Gospel and World, to explore their relationship to second wave feminism in Japan, ūman ribu, as a religious minority’s complex way to engage politics and other Asian women. These feminist Christians are an example of women located in-between colonizers and the colonized as well as among the racial and religious majorities and minorities of the time; illuminating their activism allows us to consider effective and discursive forms of engaging women, politics, and religion. On the one hand, Japanese Christian feminists expanded their sense of agency both by relocating the oppression of women in the church within the larger issues of Japanese colonial legacy and by reimagining social justice within sacred space. On the other hand, their lack of reflection on race and their reliance on the majoritarian identity of onna (middle-class Japanese women) blurred their vision and invitation to activism around “pan-Asian solidarity.”
摘要:本文以20世纪70年代发表在日本基督教期刊《福音与世界》(Gospel and World)上的日本女基督徒作品为研究对象，探讨其与日本第二波女性主义(ūman ribu)的关系，以及作为少数宗教群体参与政治和其他亚洲女性的复杂方式。这些女权主义基督徒是当时处于殖民者和被殖民者之间以及种族和宗教多数派和少数派之间的女性的一个例子;启发她们的行动主义使我们能够考虑有效和话语的形式参与妇女，政治和宗教。一方面，日本基督教女权主义者扩大了她们的代理意识，将教会中对妇女的压迫置于日本殖民遗产的更大问题中，并在神圣的空间中重新构想社会正义。另一方面，他们缺乏对种族的反思，依赖于onna(日本中产阶级女性)的多数主义身份，模糊了他们的视野和对“泛亚洲团结”行动主义的邀请。

Abstract:In 2019, Margaret Atwood released The Testaments, the long-awaited sequel to her 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale. Like the Christian Bible to which it makes frequent reference, the novel is assembled from multiple “testaments,” each offering different articulations of the relationship between body, memory, and truth. Additionally, Atwood’s Testaments foregrounds female bodies and female religious experiences, even as the novel borrows from and repurposes some of the Bible’s more troubling and misogynistic representations of gender, violence, and patriarchy. Engaging these themes, this article analyzes Atwood’s use of three key biblical passages: Judg 19 (the Levite’s concubine), Eccl 10:20, and Song 8:6. This close textual analysis is paired with reading the novel against the Bible as a literary and material whole. Persistently biblical and ambivalently feminist, The Testaments insists that there is no irrefutable affirmation of truth, and thus there is always need for more testaments.
