Heba Raouf Ezzat
Islam in Transition: Muslim Perspectives (2 ed.)
...of the expectation that women should be home makers is obviously rooted in a modernist and feminist approach that sees this role as undermining women's public participation, fostering a patriarchal culture. It implies that women aspire to greater presence in the public space, not more efficiency in managing the problems, the texture and roles of the private family sphere. The concern is that traditional dominant gender paradigm gives centrality of the family over the individual, an old modernist critic of organic societies, while we ironically find...

... The Prior Text of Gender-Specific Languages The significance of masculine and feminine forms, whether used distinctively or to make generic indications, was an important part of my analysis. Perspectives on gender, particularly on the understanding of what constitutes feminine or masculine behavior, and the roles of men and women in society, are based on one's cultural context. Gender-specific languages, such as Arabic, create a particular prior text for the...

...and denied them their rightful position in society. But she was unable to establish a form in which to articulate women's claim to creativity or genius. She showed her outrage at the gendering of aesthetic values most clearly in her attack on Edmund Burke's use of the language of sexual difference in his contrast between the *sublime and the beautiful. Burke's gendering of the sublime as masculine, in his influential A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas on the Sublime and Beautiful ( 1757 ), she argued, denied women both creative power...

...of the moneyed interest and decline of the citizen soldier was expressed in the gender-specific term ‘effeminacy’. Those who warned Englishmen that effeminacy was the inevitable effect of luxury had the most powerful of all precedents in mind: the history of the degeneracy of Rome, from virtuous republic to luxurious empire. Tension between the high evaluation of refinement in men and the wish to square it with manliness permeated the eighteenth-century novel, whatever the gender of the writer. Samuel Richardson ( 1689–1761 ), the author of what is usually...

...religious traditions which sanction discrimination on grounds of religion and gender. On the other hand, there is the push of modernist domestic and international forces in favor of human rights and against discrimination on grounds of religion or gender. This ambivalence is reflected, in my view, in the subscription by some Muslim countries to international human rights documents which they are unable to uphold within their national jurisdictions because of the role of shari‘a in the domestic legal systems of those countries. It is...

...days of the siege of Bethulia ( 7:20 ) even as Judith's sackcloth mirrors that of the townspeople (and cattle). Upon hearing of the people's protest and Uzziah's response, Judith sends her slave, the one in charge of all her property, to summon the town elders. Stereotypical gender roles are reversed: a female slave commands a major estate; a widow demands obedience from city officials. The Bethulian elders receive from Judith strong rebuke: how do they dare test, place conditions upon, or presume to know the thoughts of God? Rather, the people should...

...of erotic obsession as experienced by women. Both terror and horror fiction, however, are steeped in political significance. Both forms question the nature of power, the source of its authority in the oppressive past, and the ways in which it is reinforced by the family and by gender roles. Contemporary critics recognized what has become a favourite focus of modern interpretation of Gothic. De Sade 's essay ‘Idée sur les romans’ explains the cult of horror in terms of revolutionary upheaval. The same source is identified in an English essay purporting to be...

The national evangelical publishing concerns founded over the next two decades—the *American Bible Society ( 1815 ), the *American Sunday-School Union ( 1824 ), and the *American Tract Society ( 1825 )—employed similar methods. These religious publishers stood at the forefront of technological change and mass communication in the US. To produce their huge print runs, they relied upon stereotyping...

... The Montanist movement was also noteworthy for the prominent role of its female prophets. However, just as the existence of powerful goddesses in the great civilizations of the ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean world had not yielded societies with gender equality, so too in the church the growing importance of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was not accompanied by an increasing role for women in its ecclesiastical life. The study of women in the earliest phase of Christianity is largely...

...) has offered an explanation for why we should not expect Paul to follow the same argument in this letter as when addressing the Romans. This particular point can be made more emphatically, however. A social-identity approach to Galatians has revealed how far Paul will go in stereotyping Israelites even when they are a part of his congregations ( Esler 1998 ); we would expect such attitudes to apply a fortiori when his audience is Gentile, as in Thessalonica. Finally, there are other possible candidates for the catastrophe referred to in 2:16 , such as the...

...the polls. Only 36 women won election, as against 65,502 men! 4 To interpret the relationship between the massive participation of women voters and the small number of women elected as a sign of stagnation and backwardness would be in accordance with the usual stereotypes applied to the Arab world. However, it would be more insightful to see it as a reflection of changing times and the intensity of the conflicts between the aspirations of women, who take the constitution of their country seriously, and the resistance of men, who imagine, despite...

...disturbs the poetic flow of chs. 2–6 . Those chapters confront readers with multiple images, metaphors, and poetic figures that intrude upon and interrupt each other to create a rich literary soup. By contrast, the prose sermons appear as a thin broth of repetitive and stereotypical language. The temple sermon focuses on worship practices, seeming to change the subject from the cosmic battle and broken marriage in chs. 2–6 . The sermon, however, provides one more interpretative voice in the book's debate about the nation's collapse. The temple sermon is...
