Abstract

Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza offers a new paradigm in feminist theology through the concepts of kyriarchy and ekkl?sia of wo/men, which serve as critiques of patriarchal domination within the church and society. This study addresses the relevance of Fiorenza's thoughts in deconstructing the patriarchal structures embedded in Indonesian churches, which often perpetuate gender-based discrimination and hinder women's full participation in religious and social life. This research employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method to analyze Fiorenza's works and their relevance within Indonesia's social, cultural, and religious contexts. The findings reveal that Fiorenza's feminist hermeneutics can serve as a tool for ecclesiastical transformation by reinterpreting biblical texts in a more inclusive and relevant manner. The concept of ekkl?sia of wo/men provides a model for an egalitarian faith community, enabling churches to create inclusive spaces for women. Inclusive solidarity ethics offers concrete steps for Indonesian churches to act as agents of social change, responding to the challenges of gender injustice. This study underscores the importance of church reform rooted in the principles of justice and inclusion.

Abstract

Women’s bodies can become sites through which communities mark and transmit memories of death, yet this memorial function contains a tension between women’s authority as agents of remembrance and the burdening of grief upon their bodies. This article analyses that tension through a critical dialogue between the tradition of Iki Paleg in several Dani communities and the wailing women in Jeremiah 9:17–22. The study employs qualitative library research informed by Asian postcolonial feminist hermeneutics and contextual-intercultural dialogue. The analysis focuses on the interrelations among body, memory, voice, power relations, and intergenerational transmission. The findings show that Iki Paleg materialises loss through permanent bodily alteration, whereas Jeremiah 9:17–22 locates memory in lament, the hearing of the divine word, and teaching. Both contexts present women as subjects of knowledge, yet their authority remains ambivalent because the labour of remembering is also distributed along gendered lines. The article proposes the concept of “women’s memory work” to account for the relationship among epistemic authority, relational agency, and memorial burden. As a constructive implication, a “pneumatology of remembering” understands the work of the Spirit as a presence that preserves testimony to woundedness, opens space for women’s voices, and guides communities to remember without reproducing violence upon the body.
