Im Rahmen des Cultural Turns wurden die Probleme des Religionsbegriffs, der anhand des Christentums herausgebildet worden war und von einem scharfen Gegensatz zwischen Monotheismus und Polytheismus ausging, thematisiert. Ausgehend von diesen Entwicklungen sondiert dieses Heft in einer “transzendentalen Geschlechtergeschichte” von der (Spat-)Antike bis zur Gegenwart, welche Diskurs- und Handlungsfelder durch Vorstellungen von Gottinnen eroffnet wurden und inwiefern diese Aufschlusse uber historische Geschlechterordnungen und transzendentale Konzepte geben konnen.

“When God created man, she was practicing” – this famous saying succinctly sums up the criticism of early feminist Christian theology. In addition, the Cultural Turn challenged the concept of religion that had been developed on the basis of Christianity assuming a sharp contrast between monotheism and polytheism. Starting from these criticisms and in the framework of a “transcendental gender history” from (late) antiquity to the present, this issue investigates the variety of discourses and actions opened up by notions of goddesses. In so doing, it explores the relationship between gender and transcendental concepts.
