Abstract

The introduction to this special issue considers interdisciplinary approaches to the study of gender within missions to the Middle East, from the nineteenth century to the present. By highlighting the piecemeal nature of existing historical and anthropological research, it throws light on the transnational dynamics and gendered constructions of missionary activity, along with its nationalist dimensions. The studies presented here examine long-term gendered constructions of missionary activities in ways that encompass both femininities and masculinities, along with constructions of woman-hood and manhood. By putting the question of gender at the heart of their works, the contributors to this special issue affirm the centrality of gendered approaches for understanding the social, cultural and religious relationships between missionaries and local peoples whom they encountered. Résumé missionnaire de façon peu ou prou consciente, voire maîtrisée. La notion de genre y est mobilisée dans une dimension interactionnelle et connectée, afin d’appréhender sur le temps long les modalités des constructions genrées – dont les féminités et les masculinités – liées à l’action missionnaire. En mettant les problématiques de genre au cœur de leur propos, les autrices affirment le caractère crucial de cette approche pour comprendre la nature des rapports sociaux, culturels et religieux entre missionnaires et missionnés.
中东地区的使命与性别建构:导论
本特刊的导论考虑了从19世纪到现在在中东特派团中研究性别问题的跨学科方法。通过强调现有历史和人类学研究的零碎性质,它揭示了传教士活动的跨国动态和性别结构,以及它的民族主义维度。这里提出的研究考察了传教活动的长期性别结构,包括女性和男性的结构,以及女性和男性的结构。通过将性别问题置于其作品的核心,本期特刊的撰稿人肯定了性别方法在理解传教士与他们所遇到的当地人民之间的社会、文化和宗教关系方面的中心地位。请原谅我的过失,请原谅我的过失。"类型"的概念是"调动性"的,"联通性"的,"接触性"的,"接触性"的,"形态性"的,"结构性"的,不是"小型"的,而是"男性"的,"行动使命性"的。在解决这些问题的同时,这些机构也确认了这些问题的关键在于解决这些问题的方法,包括社会、文化和宗教关系的性质、任务和任务的性质。
