ABSTRACT

In this article, I would like to criticize the epistemological definition of women and human-centered theology. They define women through images of mother, childbirth, etc. as opponents of the subject called Western white men. This is because the categories that define humans are dichotomous and tend to essentialize women as the inferior other. To go beyond these fixed and essential definitions of women, we would like to look at the critical posthumanism advocated by Rosie Braidotti. They read women as beings who are constantly moving and inꠓtertwined with other beings. To dismantle these human-centered languages, I will criticize the Christian concept of the Creator and the caring God and propose the concept of God as 'mystery' and 'darkness'.
