1	Storying widowhood in Shona culture Shumbamhini, Mercy 30 June 2005 (has links) A group of four widows undertook this research journey with me. They reflected on their widowhood experiences. Narrative and participatory practices guided our conversations. Participatory, contextual, postmodern, liberational feminist theology, poststructuralism and the social construction theory of reality informed this work. Reflective and summarising letters after each group meeting played a central part in the research. The letters were structured to make visible the "taken-for-granted" which informed the widows about who and what they are. The alternative stories of preferred widowhood practices that emerged during and between sessions were centralised in the letters. Elements of transformation, hope and empowerment surfaced as counter stories to the culture of oppression, providing the scaffolding for re-storying their lives. The group formed Chiedza Widows Association in order to support other widows who are still marginalised. / Practical Theology / (M.Th - Specialisation Pastoral Therapy)) Widowhood Shona culture Participatory approach to theology Deconstructing cultural practices Participatory action research Inheritance Pastoral care Community of care Widows' ritual Narrative pastoral practices Church work with widows -- Zimbabwe Widows -- Pastoral counseling of
