Women of the Sacred Groves: Divine Priestesses of Okinawa
ISBN: 9780195124873 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Okinawa is the only contemporary society in which women lead the official, mainstream, publicly funded religion. Priestesses are the acknowledged religious leaders within the home, clan, and village--and, until annexation by Japan approximately one hundred years ago, within the Ryukyuan Kingdom. This fieldwork-based study provides a gender-sensitive look at a remarkable religious tradition. Susan Sered spent a year living in Henza, an Okinawan fishing village, joining priestesses as they conducted rituals in the sacred groves located deep in the jungle-covered mountains surrounding the...

Women of the Sacred Groves: Divine Priestesses of Okinawa
ISBN: 9780195124866 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although most historical and contemporary religions are governed by men, there are, scattered throughout the world, a handful of well-documented religions led by women. Most of these are marginal, subordinate, or secondary religions in the societies in which they are located. The one known exception to this rule is the indigenous religion of Okinawa, where women lead the official mainstream religion of the society. This book is the first in-depth look at this unique religious tradition, exploring the intersection between religion and gender. Based on fieldwork in an Okinawan village, Susan...

Women as Ritual Experts: The Religious Lives of Elderly Jewish Women in Jerusalem
ISBN: 9780195111460 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This ethnography explores the religious beliefs and rituals of a group of elderly Jewish women, originally from Kurdistan and Yemen, who now live in Jerusalem. Sered visited the women in their homes and accompanied them on trips to holy tombs, local ethnic synagogues, and Judaica classes. She finds that, though mainly illiterate and excluded from formal religious practices, the women are experts in rituals aimed at safeguarding the well-being of their extended families. By analyzing their rituals, daily experiences, life-stories, and non-verbal gestures, Sered uncovers the strategies these...

Priestess, Mother, Sacred Sister: Religions Dominated by Women
ISBN: 9780195104677 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Religion is often denounced as one of the tools used by patriarchal societies to maintain the status quo, and especially to persuade women to accept subordinate roles. This does not explain, however, the existence of many religious groups in which women are both leaders and the majority of participants. How are these women's religions different from those dominated by men? What can we learn from them about the special ways in which women experience their unique reality? In this fascinating and pathbreaking work--the first comparative study of women's religions--Susan Starr Sered seeks answers...
