Eschatological paradigms from the perspective of gender relations: „crushing the head of the serpent”, by the women (breaking the false history about the human being, breaking the splitting paradigm). The ”omega point”

| Summary: | The originality of our approach lays in the effort to read some keyparadigms and symbols from the Bible, one of the sacred books of an ancient religion, from the gender perspective: analysing different major paradigms (like “the serpent-history”, “the cosmic-divine wedding”, “the Omega point”, “the woman dressed with the sun” etc.) as points of re-discussing the gender relations, seems to represent, at the beginning of our post-modern world, a necessary approach. Principles of non-discrimination between woman and man, the great separation of human history (from the history of gender separation and discrimination of women, to the new history, of “wedding”, as a time of gender reconciliation, unity and harmony), the symbolic role of woman in taking the lead of her destiny and in re-interpreting mentalities, archetypes and stereotypes that she’s faced in the past, are analysed in a gender and biblical mixture. |
