Our workshop aims to investigate how gender concepts are constructed by translation process in missionary contexts during Early Modern time. Translation re-codifies and rewrites social practices. Gender is a category that fundamentally structures societies. Under a dynamic perspective of history, gender concepts are performatively produced by practices. Religions play a central role in the performance of social practices. The workshop contextualise the translation of gender roles and the construction of transcultural gender concepts related to local concepts and practices.

The Translation of Gender Roles in Early Modern Christian Missionary Context

Our workshop aims to investigate how gender concepts are constructed by translation process in missionary contexts during Early Modern time. Translation re-codifies and rewrites social practices. Gender is a category that fundamentally structures societies. Under a dynamic perspective of history, gender concepts are performatively produced by practices. Religions play a central role in the performance of social practices. The workshop contextualise the translation of gender roles and the construction of transcultural gender concepts related to local concepts and practices. By focusing on missionary translation, our workshop opens a new perspective on the creative encounter between missionaries and the ‘religious other’, including the vast majority of those who rejected conversion.
