Abstract:
The 1980s and 1990s are the formative years of gender specific frame works in biblical feminist interpretation. Scholars used this opportunity to formulate the unintelligible and the muted through interesting dialectics to fashion an archive without imitations of frameworks that excluded them and treated them as subjects. Amid these conditions of creating and understanding, Madipoane Masenya heralded a moment in this period and seized an ideological opportunity to jump start Bosadi Theology as a matter of intellectual insurgency. Masenya played around the tensions of race, patriarchy, sexism, classism, and even colonialism and Apartheid to examine the social and intimate lives of black South African women. It was a necessary intervention as it sought to contextualize South African black and African women's unique experiences. This intellectual insurgency resulted from the lack of correct antagonistic grammar that Euro feminist frameworks provided. There was no way they could fashion the nervous condition of being black and being a woman and banishment. Those imported frameworks were gaslighting black women unleashing scandalous and boundless violence, and making it impossible for black women to be interlocutors in this ideation space. Theirs was a grammar of uncivil, gratuitous, and predatory ubiquitous violence through epistemic canons. Madipoane had a dilemma as a black intellectual, an enormous urgency regarding the spiritual, existential, and psycho cultural dimensions of black women in South Africa. This chapter aims to trace the theological anthropology of Masenya, her sources of intellect, wisdom, and care for the quality of black women's lives through a liberatory framework of Bosadi Theology in the South African Biblical Studies scene.
