Biblical studies. Siobhán Jolley has published Reimaging the Magdalene: Feminism, Art, and the Counter-Reformation with Bloomsbury. The book offers a new, intersectional feminist approach to utilising and interpreting the visual reception of Mary Magdalene. Through employment of Liberative Reception Criticism, which develops traditional reception theory in line with liberative hermeneutics, via the insights of intersectionality as critical theory, Siobhán Jolley provides a novel means of analysing how women, and particularly the Magdalene, are imaged in Christian tradition. It stems from a Manchester PhD supervised by Holly Morse and Peter Oakes. Further information.
