Abstract :
This volume brings together the keynote lectures given at the ninth International Conference of the European Society for Women in Theological Research (ESWTR). The theme of the conference was the theme of this volume: “The end of Liberation? Liberation in the End! Feminist Theory, Feminist Theology and their political implications.” Some insights into the process of planning the conference, and especially the choice of speakers and their themes are offered by Maria Katharina Moser, Michaela Moser, and Veronika Prüller-Jagenteufel as members of the planning group in their introduction to the theme essays. From the editorial point of view it is necessary only to add a note about language: unusually for ESWTR’s conferences, all the key-note lectures were given in English. It was decided to translate Eske Wollrad’s interesting paper on defining whiteness into French to make her ideas available to a different language readership. Those who wish to read Eske Wollrad’s reflections in English should refer to her article “Beyond the Pale: Towards a Critical White Feminist Theology” in Angela Berlis and Charlotte Methuen (eds), Feminist Perspectives on History and Religion (ESWTR Yearbook 8), pp. 169-183. The planned translation of Marcella Althaus-Reid’s paper into German unfortunately did not prove possible.
