Re-worlding toward solidarity: Healing and empowerment in feminist spiritual community.
McCallum, Brigit P. C.

Re-worlding toward solidarity: Healing and empowerment in feminist spiritual community. - 299 p.

Adviser: Margaret Miles.

Thesis (Th.D.)--Harvard University, 1994.

This dissertation, an ethnographic analysis of the 13-year old Feminist Spiritual Community in Portland, ME, draws upon social construction theory in the study of religion, feminist theology, feminist ethics, and the psychology of women. The author both critiques and extends the class-centeredness of Sharon Welch's concepts of an ethic or control and a feminist ethic of risk along gender lines, and uses them centrally in analyzing many of the dynamics of FSC life. Women in FSC are viewed as "un-worlding" from definitions of acceptable womanhood that have been fostered in dominant institutions of contemporary American culture, and "re-worlding" personal identity, through creation of and participation in alternative religious traditions and culture.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation, an ethnographic analysis of the 13-year old Feminist Spiritual Community in Portland, ME, draws upon social construction theory in the study of religion, feminist theology, feminist ethics, and the psychology of women. The author both critiques and extends the class-centeredness of Sharon Welch's concepts of an ethic or control and a feminist ethic of risk along gender lines, and uses them centrally in analyzing many of the dynamics of FSC life. Women in FSC are viewed as "un-worlding" from definitions of acceptable womanhood that have been fostered in dominant institutions of contemporary American culture, and "re-worlding" personal identity, through creation of and participation in alternative religious traditions and culture.
520 $a This study shows particular ways that some White women are socialized into acceptable forms of goodness and responsibility that mitigate against a capacity for political efficacy and solidarity. Insight is provided into a process by which FSC women are enabled to engage in the negotiation of difference and conflict in ways that simultaneously furthers the development and self-consciousness of the community and the healing and empowerment of its members.
520 $a The data of four years of qualitative research are used to test the adequacy of the gender and class analyses of various contemporary cultural theories that advocate social solidarity. Through an examination of FSC's (1) community-building, (2) ritualizing, (3) healing, and (4) personal and communal spirituality, two types of solidarity are differentiated. One is an enduring face-to-face experience of community, and the other is short-term strategic experiences of operational coalitions.
520 $a This study challenges ethical and religious norms that assume the realization of the "common good" through self-sacrifice and that define the following as oppositional binaries: the good of the individual and the good of the community, personal healing and social action, oppression and privilege.These dualistic formulations are broken down and strategies that take women "beyond either-or" are seen as central to the creation of a context in which women are healed and empowered to engage in potentially conflictual situations outside of the Circle of FSC.
