Postcolonial Feminist

Abstrak: Teologi feminis pascakolonial merupakan sebuah gerakan teologis dari Dunia Ketiga yang berusaha menggabungkan perjuangan feminis melawan androsentrisme dan patriarki dari generasi pertama teolog feminis—yang dominan berkulit putih—dengan sebuah kesadaran terhadap pengalaman kolonial dan perjuangan bagi kemerdekaan. Di dalam area penafsiran Alkitab, pendekatan feminis pascakolonial mencoba untuk mendekolonisasi dan mendepartriarkalisasi teks-teks Alkitab dan penafsirannya bagi tujuan-tujuan liberatif. Artikel ini mengobservasi dan menganalisis salah satu teolog feminis pascakolonial yang terkemuka, yaitu Kwok Pui-Lan, secara khusus menelaah metode berteologinya yang unik. Tiga isu spesifik akan dibahas: pandangannya tentang pengalaman, Alkitab, tradisi, dan akal budi sebagai sumber-sumber berteologi, pandangannya tentang doktrin Alkitab dan penafsirannya, dan metodenya dalam melakukan teologi feminis pascakolonial. Artikel ini akan ditutup dengan sebuah evaluasi awal. Sementara beberapa poin positif dapat ditarik dari metodenya, kaum Injili akan melihat beberapa potensi masalah, khususnya terkait isu otoritas, kebenaran, dan identitas.   Abstract: Postcolonial feminist theology is an originally Third-World theological movement which attempts to combine feminist struggles against androcentrism and patriarchy of the first generation of feminist—predominantly White—theologians with an awareness of colonial experience and struggle for independence. In the area of biblical interpretation, postcolonial feminist approach tries to decolonize and depatriarchalize both biblical texts and their interpretations for liberative purposes. In this article, authors will observe and analyze one of the most prominent postcolonial feminist theologians, Kwok Pui-Lan, specifically looking at her unique theological method. Three specific issues will be addressed: her view on experience, Scripture, tradition, and reason as sources of theology, her doctrine of Scripture and its interpretation, and her method of doing postcolonial feminist theology. The article will then be concluded with a preliminary evaluation. While some positive points can be drawn from her method, evangelicals will observe some potential problems, especially those concerning the issues of authority, truth, and identity.

ResumoO artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a hermenêutica teológica feminista, composta de diversos movimentos interpretativos dos textos sagrados, porém sem a pretensão de elevar-se em novo método teológico. A experiência das mulheres é enfatizada como um dos exemplos de movimento hermenêutico a partir da proposta de Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, em seu livro Caminhos da Sabedoria. A partir deste referencial teórico analisa-se a maneira como algumas teólogas, especialmente latinoamericanas, utilizaram este movimento hermenêutico para percorrer na tradição bíblica veterotestamentária a experiência de proteção e destruição da vida, assim como as experiências da pobreza, da emigração e da solidariedade.Palavras-Chave: Hermenêutica. Experiência. Bíblia. Mulheres. Teologia. AbstractThe article focuses on feminist theological hermeneutics. This hermeneutic is composed of several movements that indicate new perspectives of interpretation of sacred texts, without, however, want to constitute a new theological method. It emphasizes the category of experience as one of the examples of the Wisdom dance, as Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza proposed in his book Wisdom Ways: Introducing Feminist Biblical Interpretation. Finally, we study how some Latin American theologians used this hermeneutic turn to theologizing experience of protection and destruction of life, as well as the experiences of poverty, emigration and solidarity.Keywords: Hermeneutics.

Multiple Obstacles

Through use of an interpretive phenomenological inquiry, this study examined the lived experiences of first-generation college students persisting at a mid-sized, private, predominantly White institution. Themes that emerged across participants included a sense of “otherness” according to students’ race, ethnicity, and first-generation and socioeconomic statuses. Motivations and strengths that enabled students to persist in school, despite facing multiple obstacles, are described. Implications for students and helping professionals are included.

The 1960S

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have had the ability to recruit African-American students since the 1860s by stressing a sense of inclusion and family through their mission statements and community outreach. There was little to no competition for African-American students from predominantly white institutions until integration was fully implemented a hundred years later in the 1960s. HBCUs, by their standing in the community, have been a gateway to first generation college students, regardless of race or social class status and "many continue to have 'open' admissions policies, welcoming all who wish to attend college, regardless of previous academic performance. Today, HBCUs have to actively recruit students students that can now apply and enroll in Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) with the use of technology that includes the Internet. How has the digital divide changed from its classification in the 1960s? How are African-Americans using the web and are HBCUs using the Internet to inform, recruit and enroll African-Americans today? This pilot study looks at HBCUs that have Journalism/Mass Communications units to examine if their websites have a good sense of usability and interactivity for African-American students looking to go to college, primarily as first-generation students.

The rise of women's movement and feminist theology show to us about the critical consciousness of women‟s experiences in the patriarchal society. They have fought against the patriarchal society supported by culture and religion. Many women have struggled for their self-respect, justice, and freedom. They have wanted to have an equal right and obligation with man either in church or in society. The aim of this paper is to describe the background of the rise offeminist theology and the richness of Feminist theological method.
