We are seeking presenters for a panel on Women & Spirituality (sub
theme Gender & Religion ) at the Women's Worlds 2005 conference : 9th
Interdiscipinary Congress on Women. Ewha Womans University, Seoul,
Korea June 19-24, 2005
This panel is primarily interested in women and the Divine. This can
include: women's relationship to the Spirituality, path to the sacred
or women as embodiment of the Divine. Present panel topics include :
* An exploration of the Sumerian myth of Inanna through the
intersection of archaeology, mythology and feminist theory which
addresses the story of her descent as a wisdom text.
* An engagement with the work of Luce Irigaray and a breath based
response to the problem of sexual difference. This paper will expand on
her work through an exploration of Patanjali's limbs of yoga in order
to relate the final goal of yoga-union- to the problem of sexual
difference.
