Feminist Theologies: Looking Back to Look Ahead Teologías feministas: mirando atrás para mirar más allá
Main Article Content
Abstract
Feminist theologies in the U.S. are the reason why gender has changed religions. Feminist studies in religion and social activism go hand in hand. These twin foci form a useful backdrop for understanding contemporary feminist spirituality which is a concrete coupling of religious dynamics and feminist action. That spirituality is the product of feminist work in religion and has an impact on society. Brief descriptions of a small sample of the groups that continue to deepen this work point to a bright future for feminist theologies despite backlash and obstacles.
Las teologías feministas desarrolladas en los Estados Unidos están logrando transformar las religiones a través del foco puesto en la categoría de género. Los estudios feministas sobre religión y el activismo social van de la mano y estos focos gemelos forman un telón de fondo que permite comprender la espiritualidad feminista contemporánea, que acompasa de forma concreta y práctica la dinámica religiosa y la acción feminista. Esa espiritualidad es fruto del trabajo feminista en religión y tiene un impacto en la sociedad. En este trabajo se presentarán breves descripciones de unos pocos grupos que continúan profundizando la labor feminista y que apuntan a un futuro brillante para las teologías feministas a pesar de los obstáculos y las resistencias.
