Resumo: |
The analysies of this thesis, based on a feminist hermeneutics of liberation, center on the figure of Inana, the most important and most popular goddess of Sumer who, as I tar, held a predominant position also in the posterior Mesopotamian pantheons. Chapter 1 gives a reconstruction of life in Sumer, since neolithic times until the beginnings of the Old Babylonian Period (approximately 5000 to 2000 BCE), with special attention to data on women and gender aspects. Chapter 2 presents presargonic documents, iconographical and philological, related with the figure and the cult of Inana, and offers first reflections on particular aspects and conflicts that show her special position in the religion of Sumer and its increasing patriarchalization. In Chapter 3, these aspects and conflicts are discussed focusing on traditions of Inana as the Lady of Eana, of the Me and of Kur, with special attention to the myths Inana and Eana , Inana and the Me and Inana and the Netherworld (ETCSL 1.3.5; 1.3.1; 1.4.1). It shows that the myth Inana and Eana is the result of manipulations to legitimate the cult of An in the main temple of Inana, that Inana and the Me reflects attitudes of resistance against attempts of her depowerment, and that Inana and the Netherworld is composed of different myths that evidence several conflicts related to functions and powers of Inana. Thus it is demonstrated that the conflicts in the sphere of Inana reflect human repressions and resistances within a kyriarchal society and the increasing patriarchalization of its religion. Although political and religious activities of women in today s societies do not need legitimation by examples from old religions, their feminist reconstruction and memory can serve to stimulate such activities when they try to construct a different image of the divine, and when they struggle for a world of equal rights and dignity for all people.(AU) |
