註釋The designation “Lord Who Is Half Woman” refers to the androgynous Hindu god Ardhana?ri?sŒvara (also known as S iva-S akti). While iconographical aspects of this significant image have been addressed, the complex theological, philosophical, and social implications inherent in a dual gendered deity have not. This book provides the first extensive study of the influence of Ardhana?ri?sŒvara, exploring four distinct areas of Indian culture, namely iconography, hat|hayoga, devotional poetry (bhakti), and mythology. Ellen Goldberg also offers a feminist analysis of the ways in which “male” and “female” have been constructed in this image and the various representations pertaining to the broader gender implications of an androgynous deity.
