Holy Rage! Wütende Frauen

Welche Funktion hat Wut?

Drei grundlegende Auslöser für Wut:
1. Frustration

2.Eindringen in unser Territorium: Grenzverletzungen jeglicher Art

3. Einschränkung unserer Freiheit

Wut mobilisiert in uns die Energie, etwas zu ändern - z. B. Verhaltensweisen anderer oder sogar unsere eigenen, mit denen wir nicht einverstanden sind.
In solchen Situationen wollen wir uns Respekt verschaffen.
Wut ist das Gefühl, das uns bereit macht, anzugreifen und zu kämpfen, sich Bedrohungen zu stellen oder gegen etwas vorzugehen.

Wut ist oft ein Zeichen dafür, dass ein wichtiges persönliches Kriterium, eine innere Norm, verletzt wurde, sei es durch uns selbst oder durch andere.

1.Das hebräische Wort für Wut ist (כַּ֖עַס) "ka' as"es kann sowohl Wut als auch Kummer/Trauer meinen. Warum werden diese Bedeutungen durch ein Wort im Hebräischen ausgedrückt?

Jalta ist eine Figur, die mehrmals im babylonischen Talmud erwähnt wird, die Frau von Rabbi Nahman und die Tochter des Exilarchen.

Als ihr Mann von einem jüngeren Kollegen respektlos behandelt wurde, sagte sie ihrem Mann, wie er sich schützen könne (Kidduschin70b). Als sie mit der Antwort eines Rabbiners unzufrieden war, suchte sie einen anderen auf (Niddah 20b). Als sie ihrem Mann einmal sagte, sie wolle das Äquivalent von in Milch gekochtem Fleisch probieren, ließ er ihr Euter zubereiten, ein Lebensmittel, das viele seiner Kollegen verboten hatten (Hullin 109b).

"Divine anger is not the antithesis of love, but its counterpart, a help to justice as demanded by true love"

"Der göttliche Zorn ist nicht das Gegenteil der Liebe, sondern ihr Gegenstück, eine Hilfe zur Gerechtigkeit, wie sie durch die wahre Liebe eingefordert wird."

- A. J. Heschel The Prophets -

Aus: "Living a Feminist Life" - Sara Ahmed

To snap can mean to make a brisk, sharp, cracking sound; to break sud- denly; to give way abruptly under pressure or tension; to suffer a physical or mental breakdown, especially while under stress; to bring the jaws briskly to- gether, often with a clicking sound; to bite; to snatch or grasp suddenly and with eagerness; to speak abruptly or sharply; to move swiftly and smartly; to flash or appear to flash light; to sparkle; to open, close, or fit together with a click.
Snap is quite a sensation. To snap can be to make a sharp sound. As a fem- inist killjoy, I have been giving my ear to those who sound sharp. I will come back to the sounds of this sharpness; it matters. The temporality of snapping is also crucial: a snap is a sudden quick movement. The speed of snapping might be how a snap comes to be apprehended as a movement at all (the slower you move, the less a move seems like a movement).

I always think with the examples that come to mind; the sensations of being in the world with objects and others. And when I think of snap, I think of a twig. When a twig snaps, we hear the sound of it breaking. We can hear the suddenness of a break. We might assume, on the basis of what we hear, that the snap is a starting point. A snap sounds like the start of something, a trans- formation of something; it is how a twig might end up broken in two pieces. A snap might even seem like a violent moment; the unbecoming of something.

But a snap would only be the beginning insofar as we did not notice the pres sure on the twig. If pressure is an action, snap is a reaction. Pressure is hard to notice unless you are under that pressure. Snap is only the start of something because of what we do not notice. Can we redescribe the world from the twig's point of view, that is, from the point of view of those who are under pressure?
We can begin to build a picture of how and why snap matters[...]. Bodies can be pressed into shape; or are under pressure in being shaped. We learn as well: this pressure is not always something we can witness from the outside. You might experience that pressure only when you are under it, rather like you encounter the wall when you come up against it. The weightiest of experiences are often those that are hardest to convey to those who do not share the experience. If a snap seerns sharp or sudden, it might be because we do not experience the slower time of bearing or of holding up; the time in which we can bear the pressure, the time it has taken for things not to break.
If the twig was a stronger twig, if the twig was more resilient, it would take more pressure before it snapped. We can see how resilience is a technology of will, or even functions as a command: be willing to bear more; be stron- ger so you can bear more. We can understand too how resilience becomes a deeply conservative technique, one especially well suited to governance: you encourage bodies to strengthen so they will not succumb to pressure; so they can keep taking it; so they can take more of it. Resilience is the requirement to take more pressure; such that the pressure can be gradually increased. Or as Robin James describes, resilience "recycles damages into more resources"

When you don't take it, when you can't take any more of it, what happens?
The moment of not taking it is so often understood as losing it. When a snap is registered as the origin of violence, the one who snaps is deemed violent. She snaps. You can hear the snap in the sound of her voice. Sharp, brittle, loud; perhaps it is like the volume has suddenly been turned up, for no reason; the quietness that surrounds her ceases when she speaks, her voice cutting the atmosphere, registering as the loss of something; a nicer atmosphere, a gentler mood. And then: violence is assumed to originate with her. A feminist politics might insist on renaming actions as reactions; we need to show how her snap is not the starting point.
