Co-sponsored by Center for Human and Community Wellness
Joanne Jodry and Amanda Berger with Wendy Turton – PY 517
Co-sponsored by Center for Human and Community Wellness
The sacred feminine is often overlooked in the patriarchal focused monotheistic traditions. This workshop will look at Judeo-Christian women of the bible and draw attention to roles, attitudes and references to their sexuality. Due to historical, sexual marginalization of many women in these religious traditions, the sacred feminine has been disregarded by the mainstream. This interactive
discussion will address feminine psyche, self-esteem and self-efficacy in relation to the sacred feminine.

Indexical Expressions Used In Medical Consultations to Refer To Antiretroviral Medications and the Pragmatics of Emotive Communication: A Case Study In Uruguay, South America
Roxanna Delbene
Roxanna Delbene
Using the theoretical framework of the pragmatics of emotive communication (Caffi and Janney 1994), it is argued that naming is a way of being in control of our life experience as well as an expression of emotional involvement. In spite of the antiretrovirals’ downside, it is well known that without them, the HIV infection is a death sentence. For this reason, it is speculated that naming the antiretrovirals by using either their generic or commercial names is an expression of the participants’ attachment to and commitment with the medical treatment.
