  2. The fashion of male circumcision that began in the 1890s, and a wide range of related subjects.
  3. The way in which I wish to approach the subject and discuss the notion of gendered blood, as it were, in these two rituals is by means of a socially constructed opposition between culture and nature - circumcision being deemed the work of (superior) culture and menstruation the functioning of (inferior) nature.
  4. In line with the general emphasis on blood in the exilic Priestly tradition, tremendous importance was attached to the actual blood of the circumcision, and unless several drops of blood were seen to issue from the wound, the operation was deemed invalid and valueless.

  6. The mark of this new covenant was (and still is) circumcision.

  9. And this, I think, is where circumcision comes in.
  10. Unlike the cultic inclusion of men through the blood of circumcision, the blood of the female cycle resulted in cultic exclusion for women.
  11. In other words, by the culture-controlled shedding of blood at circumcision, the individual entered the covenant and joined with his fellow "circumcisees", who together formed a community or brotherhood of blood, bound to each other and God by special duties and mutual obligations.
  12. This is an elderly Englishwoman who has "inherited" from an aunt her engagement with "the struggle against the mutilation of girl children", or female circumcision.
  13. At precisely the same time as circumcision and the blood of circumcision was receiving this new casting and additional dimension, legislation about female blood - i.e. the blood of menstruation and childbirth - appeared for the first time on the scene.
