Book Description
La parte de la Biblia conocida como "Los Escritos" (Ketuvim, en hebreo) data de la época persa o primer período helenista. En ella, dentro de un vasto panorama de relaciones de género, encontramos numerosas figuras de mujeres. Los textos son producto de una sociedad patriarcal que define a las personas por su estatus social, su clase y, dentro de ella, por su sexo, edad y otros factores. La mayoría de los libros reproduce la pirámide social del patriarcado, pero algunos hacen audibles las voces de los marginados y marginadas y critican discursos hegemónicos de poder. Por esta razón, pueden emerger interpretaciones diferentes, según sea la posición hermenéutica de cada intérprete. Este volumen consta de cuatro partes. La primera, investiga la realidad de las mujeres en el período persa. La segunda presenta críticamente la tradición sapiencial israelita y sus numerosas figuras femeninas. La tercera muestra voces de mujeres y metáforas femeninas en los libros poéticos, y la cuarta estudia las historias de las protagonistas de los libros de Rut, Ester y la historia de Susana, en situaciones de conflicto.

The Language of Colour in the Bible
Author: Lourdes García Ureña
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110767732
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The Bible is one of the books that has aroused the most interest throughout history to the present day. However, there is one topic that has mostly been neglected and which today constitutes one of the most emblematic elements of the visual culture in which we live immersed: the language of colour. Colour is present in the biblical text from its beginning to its end, but it has hardly been studied, and we appear to have forgotten that the detailed study of the colour terms in the Bible is essential to understanding the use and symbolism that the language of colour has acquired in the literature that has forged European culture and art. The objective of the present study is to provide the modern reader with the meaning of colour terms of the lexical families related to the green tonality in order to determine whether they denote only color and, if so, what is the coloration expressed, or whether, together with the chromatic denotation, another reality inseparable from colour underlies/along with the chromatic denotation, there is another underlying reality that is inseparable from colour. We will study the symbolism that/which underpins some of these colour terms, and which European culture has inherited. This lexicographical study requires a methodology that allows us to approach colour not in accordance with our modern and abstract concept of colour, but with the concept of the ancient civilations. This is why the concept of colour that emerges from each of the versions of the Bible is studied and compared with that found in theoretical reflection in both Greek and Latin. Colour thus emerges as a concrete reality, visible on the surface of objects, reflecting in many cases, not an intrinsic quality, but their state. This concept has a reflection in the biblical languages, since the terms of colour always describe an entity (in this sense one can say that they are embodied) and include within them a wide chromatic spectrum, that is, they are mostly polysemic. Structuralism through the componential analysis, although providing interesting contributions, had at the same time serious shortcomings when it came to the study of colour. These were addressed through the theoretical framework provided by cognitive linguistics and some of its tools such as: cognitive domains, metonymy and metaphor. Our study, then, is one of the first to apply some of the contributions of cognitive linguistics to lexicography in general, and particularly with reference to the Hebrew, Greek and Latin versions of the Bible. A further novel contribution of this research is that the meaning is expressed through a definition and not through a list of possible colour terms as happens in dictionaries or in studies referring to colour in antiquity. The definition allows us to delve deeper and discover new nuances that enrich the understanding of colour in the three great civilizations involved in our study: Israel, Greece and Rome.

Gender Agenda Matters
Author: Irmtraud Fischer
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443883158
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In the last two decades, feminism has often been declared dead. One reason for this was the overwhelming success of gender and queer studies; another was supposedly nurtured by the hope of conservatives that girls and women should return to that which is traditionally perceived as “female”. This volume, which brings together the most interesting papers of the feminist exegesis section of the recent International Meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature, offers vivid proof that feminist studies did not lose their appeal to young scholars, and that there is still enough potential for fresh and interesting research in this field. Gender agendas still matter, especially when the feminist option is not forfeited as a political aim.
