Encountering God and Being Human "Where the Wild Things Are" : Maternal Experiences As an Eco-feminist Source for Theological Anthropology
Taking its point of departure in maternal experiences, this contribution develops a theological-anthropological notion of ‘wildness’ – the relationships, processes, bodies, and events in created existence that cannot be controlled. First, the author argues in dialogue with eco-feminist and eco-theological perspectives for an embrace of the wild, and a healthy acceptance of the interdependence and vulnerability that it entails. Second, the author explores how experiences of mothering (in particular, of the maternal body and everyday parenting) appear as a rich site of wildness in which anxiety can be overcome by participation in life-giving processes. As such they hold great promise as a source for a thoroughly relational theological alternative to individualist anthropologies. Third, the need for critical discernment is raised, as vulnerability itself is not an unqualified good: at times it should be resisted as antithetical to human and planetary flourishing.
