Isbn: 9781934843413 - vixens disturbing vineyards: embarrassment and embracement of scriptures: festchrift honoring harry fox (16 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Embarrassment and embracement are two moments in the reading, misreading and re-reading of scriptures, defined broadly to include both canonical and non-canonical texts. Despite what Harold Bloom calls our "belatedness" in this process, every reading community has its way of confronting that moment of embarrassment so as to re-embrace or reject its implications. These implications are especially strong in religious cultures with a nomian tradition. By entering into that very tension between what Fox calls embarrassment and re-embracement, every reader recognizes the anxiety of a narrative's influence upon a community. Papers dealing with different aspects of this phenomenon are part of a festschrift honoring Professor Harry Fox (LeBeit Yoreh) the originator of this seminal idea in the transmission of texts. Contributors include such scholars as Yaakov Elman, Simcha Fishbane, the late Chana Safrai and Tirzah Meacham as well as many students, colleagues and friends of Professor Fox.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Every reading community has ways of confronting moments of embarrassmentin its reading of scriptures. Scripture may be the holy books of religiouscommunities or the foundational texts of civilizations. Contemporary readersof Aristotle who see his writing as foundational for Western philosophy,for example, must confront his views on slavery. This kind of confrontation, whether with religious, philosophical or canonical books of other kinds, may lead readers to reject scripture's claims-or it may motivate them to re-read or misread scripture so as to eliminate, ameliorate or apologize for the problematic passages. Once this misprision has taken place, the formerly ofending scriptures may be re-embraced. A community may also re-embrace scripture by rejecting traditional readings in favor of more originary readings.By entering into that very tension between what Harry Fox calls embarrassmentand embracement, the reader experiences the anxiety of a narrative'spower over a community. That anxiety is most palpable in the ideologicaland theological applications of these foundational works. Applications ofscriptures have included the exploitation of natural resources and their preservation; genocide and ethnic cleansing as well as the promotion of humanrights; slavery and its abolition; homophobia and the acceptance of sexualvariation.The essays in this volume honor Professor Harry Fox (leBeit Yoreh). Writtenin a variety of disciplines, they rethink canonical texts through Fox's rubric,contributing to our understanding of historical and textual moments of embarrassment and embracement. Contributors include Yaakov Elman, PaulHeger, Tirzah Meacham, Yosef Tubi and the late Chana Safrai as well as manystudents, colleagues and friends of Professor Fox.…
