Hi everybody,
I'm putting together the syllabus for a course on women and religion
in film, and was wondering whether anybody of you had some ideas on
films or secondary material on the topic.
I was thinking of using films like Breaking the Waves or Pope Joan,
trying to work out which roles (active/passive, victim, seductress,
priest etc.) women are given in films and how that relates to the
actual situation in religions (I'll have to limit myself to
Christianity, with some hints on Judaism and Islam).
I'll happy to share the material with the list.
Best,
Stefanie
