The 'Other' Martyrs is a collection of essays that center on a diverse thematic array of women's martyrdom across periods and cultures. Ranging from Russia to Iraq, from Iran to Canada, from Greece to the lands of early, and spanning medieval and modern periods, each essay focuses on how women's sacrifice and martyrdom have been represented to diverse ends. In these, the main discovery is the 'how' of martyrdom and sacrifice, not just the 'what.' Each author unpacks the rhetoric, narrative strategies, and structure of their case to delve with rigor into the nature and function of women's sacrifice, and a wide range of theoretical and philological underpinnings informs the analyses. Readers will gain fresh insights into post-Soviet moments of cultural crises and gender construction through case studies of Pussy Riot and the film Everybody Dies But Me, War propaganda in early to mid-twentieth century Canada, women's oratory skills in early Islamicate culture, the imagery of women and children in Iranian official history, the construction of influential Greek martyrdom, to name some examples. While each essay easily stands alone because of its specific inquiry, the corpus offers a much-needed transnational, transperiod panorama of the many shapes and implications of women's sacrifice as seen in official and non-official discourse. The scholars are all leading authorities in their fields and therefore bring the most up-to-date and rigorous analyses to their inquiries.

Mit der Rückkehr der Religionen in Politik und Kultur auch der säkularisierten Gesellschaften tritt eine lang vergessene Figur wieder in den Mittelpunkt der Interessen: der Märtyrer. In der Urszene des Christentums angesiedelt, aber durch seinen "edlen Tod" auch in paganen, jüdischen wie islamischen Traditionen beheimatet, erweist sich der öffentlich und blutig Sterbende als religionskultureller Grenzgänger und Hybridfigur. In ihm werden die Pathosformeln (Aby Warburg) der einen Tradition in die benachbarte und oft als feindlich angesehene übersetzt. Eine ununterbrochene Kette von Leiden und Leidenschaften, von ausgeübter und erlittener Gewalt verbindet die Religionen noch in ihrem Nachleben. Hier werden Opfer zu Helden, Attentäter zu Heiligen, Töchter zu Rebellinnen. Der Märtyrer verkörpert als Revenant die Formensprache der abendländischen Imaginations- und Bildgeschichte seit der Antike in Ost und West und wird in der globalisierten Weltgesellschaft zur Vorlage ästhetischer wie politischer Programme.

A focus on crucified saints (like Christ in their death, unlike in its significance) has enabled this volume?s contributors to explore varied aspects of martyrdom, the ascription of sanctity, purification from sins, and the significance of multiple forms of crucifixion ? both literal and metaphorical ? from early Christianity to the present day, including examinations of the role of crucifixion in Islamic and secular settings, in its representation in sacred and non-Christian fiction, and in art.0Together these papers explore how the centrality of the cruci?x that we sometimes take for granted took longer in affirming itself and how cruci?ed saints played a signi?cant role in mediating and establishing the rationale for this presence and guiding the understanding of the process of redemption.
