Abstract

Eeuwenlang hebben de Kerk en de theologie zeer tegenstrijdige gevoelens gekoesterd ten aanzien van vrouwen. Enerzijds werd de vrouw geprezen omwille van haar maagdelijkheid en haar vroomheid en werd ze vereerd als moeder. Anderzijds werden vrouwen beschuldigd van allerlei smadelijke gebreken en werden zij ervan verdacht de mensheid in de zonde mee te sleuren. De Kerk verzette zich dan ook lang tegen de bevrijding van de vrouw, tegen haar deelname aan onderwijs, politiek en cultuur, tegen haar arbeidsdeelname, en vandaag nog steeds tegen haar toetreding tot het priesterambt. Dit boek schetst een historisch beeld van dit christelijk antifeminisme. Er wordt onderzocht waar de mythe van de minderwaardigheid van de vrouw vandaan komt en hoe die mythe zich door de geschiedenis heen vertaald heeft in tal van discriminaties.

Abstract

The Trotula was the most influential compendium on women's medicine in medieval Europe. Scholarly debate has long focused on the traditional attribution of the work to the mysterious Trotula, said to have been the first female professor of medicine in eleventh- or twelfth-century Salerno, just south of Naples, then the leading center of medical learning in Europe. Yet as Monica H. Green reveals in her introduction to this first edition of the Latin text since the sixteenth century, and the first English translation of the book ever based upon a medieval form of the text, the Trotula is not a single treatise but an ensemble of three independent works, each by a different author. To varying degrees, these three works reflect the synthesis of indigenous practices of southern Italians with the new theories, practices, and medicinal substances coming out of the Arabic world. Arguing that these texts can be understood only within the intellectual and social context that produced them, Green analyzes them against the background of historical gynecological literature as well as current knowledge about women's lives in twelfth-century southern Italy. She examines the history and composition of the three works and introduces the reader to the medical culture of medieval Salerno from which they emerged. Among her findings is that the second of the three texts, "On the Treatments for Women," does derive from the work of a Salernitan woman healer named Trota. However, the other two texts-"On the Conditions of Women" and "On Women's Cosmetics"-are probably of male authorship, a fact indicating the complex gender relations surrounding the production and use of knowledge about the female body. Through an exhaustive study of the extant manuscripts of the Trotula, Green presents a critical edition of the so-called standardized Trotula ensemble, a composite form of the texts that was produced in the mid-thirteenth century and circulated widely in learned circles. The facing-page complete English translation makes the work accessible to a broad audience of readers interested in medieval history, women's studies, and premodern systems of medical thought and practice.

Abstract

Waar en hoe moet we de Griekse antieke vrouwen zoeken? In die periode was het woord het voorrecht van mannen en hun tijdgenoten hebben ons weinig elementen nagelaten om hun geschiedenis na te gaan. Door de silhouetten waartoe Homerus een eerste aanzet heeft gegeven, de spot van komische dichters en de ideologische lectuur van hun lichaam door dokters of door archetypes van religie en mythes, schijnen de vrouwen zich voor ons oog te ontkleden. Doorheen het Griekse discours over de vrouw probeert de auteur hun leven te reconstrueren: dat van de burgervrouwen in de eerste plaats, aangezien zij het best gekend zijn, maar ook dat van anderen:slaven en prostituees.

Abstract

In this bold rereading of Freud's cultural texts, Diane Jonte-Pace uncovers an undeveloped "counterthesis," one that repeatedly interrupts or subverts his well-known Oedipal masterplot. The counterthesis is evident in three clusters of themes within Freud's work: maternity, mortality, and immortality; Judaism and anti-Semitism; and mourning and melancholia. Each of these clusters is associated with "the uncanny" and with death and loss. Appearing most frequently in Freud's images, metaphors, and illustrations, the counterthesis is no less present for being unspoken--it is, indeed, "unspeakable." The "uncanny mother" is a primary theme found in Freud's texts involving fantasies of immortality and mothers as instructors in death. In other texts, Jonte-Pace finds a story of Jews for whom the dangers of assimilation to a dominant Gentile culture are associated unconsciously with death and the uncanny mother. The counterthesis appears in the story of anti-Semites for whom the "uncanny impression of circumcision" gives rise not only to castration anxiety but also to matriphobia. It also surfaces in Freud's ability to mourn the social and religious losses accompanying modernity, and his inability to mourn the loss of his own mother. The unfolding of Freud's counterthesis points toward a theory of the cultural and unconscious sources of misogyny and anti-Semitism in "the unspeakable." Jonte-Pace's work opens exciting new vistas for the feminist analysis of Freud's intellectual legacy.
