CANDIOTTO, Jaci de Fátima Souza. God’s Depatriarcalization in Feminist Theology. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.3, e73607.  Epub 01-Set-2021. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n373607.

In this paper we analyze the importance of language for the understanding of the divine and of ourselves and we examine classic appointments that have been identified with historically patriarchal figures. In making this journey from the feminist biblical hermeneutics strategy, we aim to deconstruct these identifications and to resituate them metaphorically, privilege appointments that deviate from masculine normativity to refer to God. Generally when these images are associated with a patriarchal power, a metaphysical and objective language predominates. Nevertheless, when these images are associated with relations of reciprocity, inclusion of differences and respect of plurality, language is predominantly metaphorical. In addition to establishing the contrast between these two forms of language, our hypothesis is that the latter is the most adequate to refer to God in the present time.

Palavras-chave : Patriarchate; Feminist theology; Divine appointment; Metaphorical language.
