Female Voices and Religious Identity. Dialogues with Students of Literature
This paper presents and discusses a research project on literary response among female students of American literature, where religion is an issue and where the respondents are from both majority and minority cultural backgrounds. The research is based on a discussion of reader-response theories, feminism and world religion in an attempt to elicit honest responses to the understanding of an emotionally laden issue and to investigate the possibility of using the theme of religion to foster tolerance and intercultural understanding among young readers. The results of the research show interesting similarities and also thought provoking differences between respondents from various cultural backgrounds.

Breaking New Ground: Tolerance, Female Identity and Religious Experience in Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" and Jhumpa Lahiri's "This Blessed House".
Vis sammendrag
My concern in this paper is to discuss how aspects of tolerance, identity and religious experience can be compared and contrasted in two female American writers, O¿Connor and Lahiri. For all their seemingly different surface representations, both stories reflect aspects of American culture and are thematically infused with religious references, O¿Connor with the fundamentalist Christianity of the South, and Lahiri with immigrant Hinduism. Both writers challenge the notions of religious belief and practice and thus open up for new perspectives on how female identity can be shaped in a modern world. To integrate the cultural landscape in the study, I apply Catherine Albanes¿s concepts of ¿ordinary and extraordinary religion¿. In this way I hope to show how two female voices half a century and three oceans apart express a unique experience based on their respective religious heritages, moulding them into a personal and recognizable tale of female identity, tolerance and transformation.
