Tartalmi leírás:
Images of the divine sphere represented in the
religious folk tradition show the everyday life of the faith community, the
dominant family structure, the relation between man and woman, the gender
roles, and the division of labour within the family of not only past times.
Texts relating to religion demonstrate clear gender-based characteristics. It
depends, what kind of ideologies had to be supported by the gender groups
within the community, or, exactly on the contrary, had to be withdrawn into
“inner emigration” within the burdensome domination of the commonly defined
rules. All these obvious or hidden expressions of convictions can be explored
in the pictorial descriptions of oral tradition. The derogatory female images
in biblical stories, which were interpreted and enforced from a typical point
of view of rural storytelling men, inform us unambiguously about hidden male
self-preservation and fears against women. The prayers and stories of peasant
women, on the other hand, do not concentrate on men, but rather avoid the male
elements, and, contradicting the everyday experiences of male oppression, they
visualise the absolute female power.
