The Woman as a Marginal Entity A Cultural Criticism in the History of the Masculine Interpretation of the Value of Woman until the Onset of Islam

Abstract

Sacredness and beauty were the strongest weapons used by cultures to pass on their ideas concerning the female body. Culture is not a bias blog and it is not an inanimate power. Culture is power. When the first generation could not find scientific justifications to women’s biological differences, they depended on magical means. The problem with this issue and other first cultural experiences is the construction of sunken samples of human consciousness, which blocked the truth. Thinking from scratch is impossible, because conscious self is a historical self as Gadamer thought. Cultural researchers have to ride the time rail of Woman’s train of values to see the pictures of Woman’s frame. That is why we divided our pauses at feminine picture to main situations, which are: the woman in ancient Iraq, the first civilization where Man urbanized, then the research moves to cultural placement of the woman in Greek civilization, which paid attention to philosophy and knowledge, explaining how they connotated with the cultural line.Then the study investigated women in relation to Judaism as a transformer of previous priesthood that affected the upcoming religious values. The study focused on Woman and sexual discourse. It recognized three connected levels: sex, sexuality, and sexual discourse, in order to know how to transfer power to her desires throughout beauty/religious texts.Then we moved to investigate women in relation to the development of religiosity in the Christian Code to find that its interiority was further strengthened in Christianity. The Church considered women secondarily based on the “general order” of the universe.We concluded the research by specifying perfect women who appeared in the cultural milieu. Their appearance at first glance refers to the idea that women are not marginal, but are founders as men are. This fact led to discovering the cultural misfortune that works to reduce the value of women / reality. Full women were constituted by giving away their feminism. This completion was another trick used by culture to model the woman / reality inferiority because the woman is the owner of a body that does not rise to the status of the completed bodies, those bodies that have been sanctified by the desecration of feminine bodies.
