Leah Sheppard asked about Kristeva, gender and religion.

I'm currently completing my Ph.D. thesis developing a feminist Christian
theological methodology based in the work of Julia Kristeva. There is
already quite a bit of material around that makes the connections between
Kristeva and religion/theology. Here are a few suggestions:

Crownfield, David (ed) 1992 _Body/Text in Julia Kristeva: Religion, Women,
and Psychoanalysis_, State University of New York Press, Albany.

Kim, C.W. Maggie, Susan M. St. Ville & Susan M. Simonaitis (eds) 1993
_Transfigurations: Theology and the French Feminists_, Fortress Press,
Minneapolis.

It would also be worthwhile looking at

Kristeva, Julia 1987 _In the beginning was love: Psychoanalysis and Faith_,
trans. by A. Goldhammer, Columbia University Press, New York.

The following feminist theological texts use Kristevan (and other French
Feminist) material to varying extents:

Chopp, Rebecca S. 1989 _The Power to Speak: Feminism, Language, God_,
Crossroad, New York.

Cooey, Paula M. 1994 _Religious Imagination and the Body: A Feminist
Analysis_, Oxford University Press, New York.

MacDonald, Diane L. 1995 _Transgressive Corporeality: The Body,
Poststructuralism, and the Theological Imagination_, State University of New
York Press, Albany.

There is quite a bit of material on interpreting biblical texts using
poststructuralist and/or french feminist frameworks as well.

Bye,
Anita
