This chapter discusses how patients can recognize life's ‘surplus of meaning’. It discusses facet nine, which is more concerned with the ‘unsaid’ and the ‘unsayable’ of this study than the spoken. Facet nine also acknowledges the right of patients to maintain silence and admits the possibility of interpretative oversights. Two challenges of facet nine are also discussed.Less

The literary theorist Anne-Marie Priest argues that if poststructural scholars of religion have pointed out the connections between Derridean deconstruction and negative theology, the affinities between feminist theories of sexual difference and negative theology have been less explored. By reading the early texts of philosopher Luce Irigaray on alterity and sexual difference, Priest claims apophatic practices at the heart of contemporary feminism of difference. She maintains that for those feminists who affirm sexual difference, woman-as-the-Other holds a place similar to that held by God for apophatic theologians. Irigaray sheds light on the “womanliness” of God, suggesting that God is both a model and an agent for the disruption of patriarchy and the creation of feminine subjectivity. For feminist theology, which is committed to the quest for the full humanity of women and to the end of their oppression within the Christian tradition, can anything sensible come out of this tradition of silence and unsaying? This chapter highlights some apophatic patterns within the field of feminist theology and considers the prospects of apophatic feminist theology.Less

This chapter examines several works written in the 1980s by Israeli Jewish authors. These include David Schütz's Shoshan lavan, shoshan adom (1988; White rose, red rose), Yehoshua Kenaz's Hitganvut yehidim (1986; Infiltration), and David Grossman's Ayen erech ahava (1986; See Under: Love). These works show that the unsaid of 1948 had not disappeared and discuss how, if left unresolved, the problems stemming from the 1948 exodus of Palestinians and from the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza were bound to lead to ever more violent outbursts.Less
