Patriarchal Capitalism/Capitalist Patriarchy is an artificial and pernicious system that is destroying Mother Earth and her children. We need to return to the deep economy of the human mother, based on the model of unilateral giving to needs, a model that every child has to experience in order to survive. Economic theorist Genevieve Vaughan explores issues related to maternal gift-giving.

Pre-publication ~ ASWM Proceedings: “Maternal Thinking”

MATERNAL THINKING:  Gifts, Mothers’ Bodies, and Earth

We are putting the finishing touches on Volume 4 of our Proceedings anthologies, and we anticipate the launch in June of this year. For now, we are offering a special pre-publication discount, and discounts on Volumes 1 – 3, for anyone who attends the symposium.

The Association for the Study of Women and Mythology is dedicated to presenting the stories and values of cultures that honor our mother the earth and life-giving relationships of reciprocity and gift giving among all who dwell here. Our Proceedings Volume 4 draws on “maternal thinking”, a feminist perspective that reflects on  mothering as a model for and a model of caring relations that involve gift giving and reciprocity.  This expansive conception of mothering is not limited to biological mothers.  Several contributions by indigenous women share stories honoring care-giving practices taught to humans by other than humans, including the earth, elemental forces of nature, and various animals and other living creatures. Other chapters bring new understandings of mothering relations in myths and goddess stories from Europe as well as Kurdish culture, ancient Jewish writings, and Buddhism.  Maternal thinking enriches our understanding of the past and feeds a vision of the future in which all life is respected and preserved.
