ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of global cultural circulation and the problem of coping with irreducible otherness in terms of society, culture, and religion makes an intercultural approach to theology important in apprehending cross-cultural encounters. This chapter probes the complex cross-border cultural contexts and contested spaces that women feminist scholars and activists navigate in view of identifying markers of an intercultural feminist theology. It commences with the brief story of three women scholars and activists who moved across borders. Three discernible themes, that are proposed as markers for an intercultural feminist theology, are then abstracted from the experience of the three women and discussed: (1) interstitial integrity; (2) inclusivity and creativity; and (3) transpositional and transvaluational relationality. The chapter affirms that interculturality in feminist theological perspective establishes a space for dialogue concerning the conceptual frameworks and key analytic categories that might ground a critical feminist theology of liberation in intercultural terms. It shows that an intercultural feminist perspective and method has a significant contribution to make in articulating and witnessing to feminist theologies that foster critical emancipatory praxis for women within and across fluid boundaries.
