摘要

本章分析了在以Babalon为中心的仪式的书面描述中,身体技术是如何被用来物化“Babalonian”身体的。在一些仪式中,女性神秘主义者利用“女性化的技术”(例如,高跟鞋,内衣,化妆)来体现Babalon,而一位男性神秘主义者屈服于仪式上对女神的奉献,明确地将其描述为类似于女性化的技术。虽然女权主义理论经常提到对女性装饰和身体修饰的投资是微不足道的,从属的和限制性的,但我强调技术涉及性别和仪式的所有物化。因此,我认为,神秘主义者对女性技术的使用应该被认为是代理宗教从业者使用的仪式技术,同时也创造了一个开放、脆弱和部分克制的女性身体。因此,讨论的仪式产生了既不完全由(异性恋)男性凝视决定,也不完全独立于(异性恋)男性凝视的女性特质。

Possession and Dispossession
This chapter analyzes how bodily technologies are used to materialize a “Babalonian” body in written descriptions of rituals centered around Babalon. In several rituals, female esotericists utilize “technologies of femininity” (e.g., high heels, lingerie, makeup) to embody Babalon, whereas one male esotericist succumbs to ritual scarification in devotion to the goddess, explicitly describing this as analogous to feminine technologies. While feminist theorization has frequently referred to investment in feminine adornment and physical modification as trivial, subordinating, and restrictive, I stress that technology is implicated in all materializations of gender as well as ritual. Thus, I contend that the esotericists’ use of feminine technologies should be acknowledged as ritual techniques used by agential religious practitioners, while also producing a feminine body that is open, vulnerable, and partly restrained. Thus, the rituals discussed produce femininities that are neither exclusively determined by, nor completely independent of, the (heterosexual) male gaze.
