Religion, Feminism, and Idoloclasm identifies religious and secular
feminism's common critical moment as that of idol-breaking. It
reads the women's liberation movement as founded upon a
philosophically and emotionally risky attempt to liberate women's
consciousness from a three-fold cognitive captivity to the
self-idolizing god called 'Man'; the 'God' who is a projection of
his power, and the idol of the feminine called 'Woman' that the
god-called-God created for 'Man'. Examining a period of feminist
theory, theology, and culture from about 1965 to 2010, this book
shows that secular, as well as Christian, Jewish, and
post-Christian feminists drew on ancient and modern tropes of
redemption from slavery to idols or false ideas as a means of
overcoming the alienation of women's being from their own becoming.
With an understanding of feminist theology as a pivotal
contribution to the feminist criticism of culture, this original
book also examines idoloclasm in feminist visual art, literature,
direct action, and theory, not least that of the sexual politics of
romantic love, the diet and beauty industry, sex robots, and other
phenomena whose idolization of women reduces them to figures of the
feminine same, experienced as a de-realization or death of the
self. This book demonstrates that secular and religious feminist
critical engagements with the modern trauma of dehumanization were
far more closely related than is often supposed. As such, it will
be vital reading for scholars in theology, religious studies,
gender studies, visual studies, and philosophy.
