Word of the Week
Kyriarchy:Derived from kyrios [lord, slave, master, father, husband] and archein [to rule, dominate] (noun)
Sociocultural and religious system of dominations by intersecting multliplicative structures of oppression. Kyriarchical dominations are built on elite male property rights as well as on the exploitation, dependency, inferiority and obedience of women who signify all those subordinated. Such kyrarchical relations are still today at work in the multiplicative intersectionality of class, race, gender, ethnicity, empire and other structures of discrimination.
Kyriarchy is proposed by feminist theologian Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza as a replacement to hierarchy to map the complexity of subordination and oppression.
