Download or read book Israelites in Erin written by Abby Bender and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century, the story of the Israelites’ liberation from bondage in Egypt served as the archetypal narrative for the birth of the Irish nation. Exodus was critical to both colonial and anticolonial conceptions of Ireland and Irishness. Although the Irish–Israelite analogy has been cited often, a thorough exploration has never before been documented. Bender successfully fills this gap with Israelites in Erin. Drawing upon both canonical and little-known texts of the Literary Revival, including works by Joyce, plays by Lady Gregory, and political writings by Charles Stewart Parnell and Patrick Pearse, Bender highlights the centrality of Exodus in Ireland. In doing so, she recuperates the history of a liberation narrative that was occluded by the aesthetic of 1916, when the Christ story replaced Exodus as a model for revolution and liberation. In two concluding chapters, Bender deftly maps Exodus throughout Joyce’s Ulysses, revealing how the text plumbs the biblical narrative for its submersed but frank and unsettling story of ambivalent, impure, ironic origins. With extensive research and remarkable insight, Israelites in Erin inaugurates a compelling new critical conversation.

Book Synopsis Irish Questions and Jewish Questions by : Aidan Beatty
Download or read book Irish Questions and Jewish Questions written by Aidan Beatty and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish and the Jews are two of the classic outliers of modern Europe. Both struggled with their lack of formal political sovereignty in the nineteenth-century. Simultaneously European and not European, both endured a bifurcated status, perceived as racially inferior and yet also seen as a natural part of the European landscape. Both sought to deal with their subaltern status through nationalism; both had a tangled, ambiguous, and sometimes violent relationship with Britain and the British Empire; and both sought to revive ancient languages as part of their drive to create a new identity. The career of Irish politician Robert Briscoe and the travails of Leopold Bloom are just two examples of the delicate balancing of Irish and Jewish identities in the first half of the twentieth century. Irish Questions and Jewish Questions explores these shared histories, covering several centuries of the Jewish experience in Ireland, as well as events in Israel–Palestine and North America. The authors examine the leading figures of both national movements to reveal how each had an active interest in the successes, and failures, of the other. Bringing together leading and emerging scholars from the fields of Irish studies and Jewish studies, this volume captures the most recent scholarship on their comparative history with nuance and remarkable insight.
Book Synopsis The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel by : Andrew Tobolowsky
Download or read book The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel written by Andrew Tobolowsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel is the first study to treat the history of claims to an Israelite identity as an ongoing historical phenomenon from biblical times to the present. By treating the Hebrew Bible's accounts of Israel as one of many efforts to construct an Israelite history, rather than source material for later legends, Andrew Tobolowsky brings a long-term comparative approach to biblical and nonbiblical “Israelite” histories. In the process, he sheds new light on how the structure of the twelve tribes tradition enables the creation of so many different visions of Israel, and generates new questions: How can we explain the enduring power of the myth of the twelve tribes of Israel? How does “becoming Israel” work, why has it proven so popular, and how did it change over time? Finally, what can the changing shape of Israel itself reveal about those who claimed it?

Book Synopsis Reimagining Israel and Palestine in Contemporary British and German Culture by : Isabelle Hesse
Download or read book Reimagining Israel and Palestine in Contemporary British and German Culture written by Isabelle Hesse and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isabelle Hesse identifies an important relational turn in British and German literature, TV drama, and film published and produced since the First Palestinian Intifada (1987-1993). This turn manifests itself on two levels: one, in representing Israeli and Palestinian histories and narratives as connected rather than separate, and two, by emphasising the links between the current situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the roles that the United Kingdom and Germany have played historically, and continue to play, in the region. This relational turn constitutes a significant shift in representations of Israel and Palestine in British and German culture as these depictions move beyond an engagement with the Holocaust and Jewish suffering at the expense of Palestinian suffering and indicate a willingness to represent and acknowledge British and German involvement in Israeli and Palestinian politics. This book offers new ways of thinking about how Israel and Palestine are imagined and reimagined as topics of cultural and political interest in two countries that have had complicated histories with both Israel and Palestine, histories which are marked by each country's memories of the Holocaust and colonialism.

Book Synopsis Jewish Studies on Premodern Periods by : Carl S. Ehrlich
Download or read book Jewish Studies on Premodern Periods written by Carl S. Ehrlich and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines new developments in the fields of premodern Jewish studies over the last thirty years. The essays in this volume, written by leading experts, are grouped into four overarching temporal areas: the First Temple, Second Temple, Rabbinic, and Medieval periods. These time periods are analyzed through four thematic methodological lenses: the social scientific (history and society), the textual (texts and literature), the material (art, architecture, and archaeology), and the philosophical (religion and thought). Some essays offer a comprehensive look at the state of the field, while others look at specific examples illustrative of their temporal and thematic areas of inquiry. The volume presents a snapshot of the state of the field, encompassing new perspectives, directions, and methodologies, as well as the questions that will animate the field as it develops further. It will be of interest to scholars and students in the field, as well as to educated readers looking to understand the changing face of Jewish studies as a discipline advancing human knowledge
Book Synopsis Unfit: Jewish Degeneration and Modernism by : Marilyn Reizbaum
Download or read book Unfit: Jewish Degeneration and Modernism written by Marilyn Reizbaum and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An obsession with “degeneration” was a central preoccupation of modernist culture at the start of the 20th century. Less attention has been paid to the fact that many of the key thinkers in “degeneration theory” – including Cesare Lombroso, Max Nordau, and Magnus Hirschfeld – were Jewish. Unfit: Jewish Degeneration and Modernism is the first in-depth study of the Jewish cultural roots of this strand of modernist thought and its legacies for modernist and contemporary culture. Marilyn Reizbaum explores how literary works from Bram Stoker's Dracula, through James Joyce's Ulysses to Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy, the crime movies of Mervyn LeRoy, and the photography of Claude Cahun and Adi Nes manifest engagements with ideas of degeneration across the arts of the 20th century. This is a major new study that sheds new light on modernist thought, art and culture.

Book Synopsis The Bible and Feminism by : Yvonne Sherwood
Download or read book The Bible and Feminism written by Yvonne Sherwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book breaks with established canons and resists some of the stereotypes of feminist biblical studies. It features a wide range of contributors who showcase new methodological and theoretical movements such as feminist materialisms, intersectionality, postidentitarian 'nomadic' politics, gender archaeology, and lived religion, and theories of the human and the posthuman. The Bible and Feminism: Remapping the Field engages a range of social and political issues, including migration and xenophobia, divorce and family law, abortion, 'pinkwashing', the neoliberal university, the second amendment, AIDS and sexual trafficking, and the politics of 'the veil'. Foundational figures in feminist biblical studies work alongside new voices and contributors from a multitude of disciplines in conversations with the Bible that go well beyond the expected canon-within-the-canon assumed to be of interest to feminist biblical scholars. Moving beyond the limits of a text-orientated model of reading, this collection looks at how biblical texts were actualized in the lives of religious revolutionaries, such as Joanna Southcott or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. It charts the politics of the Pauline veil in the self-understanding of Europe and reads the 'genealogical halls' in the book of Chronicles alongside acts of commemoration and forgetting in 9/11 and Tiananmen Square.

Book excerpt: The season of Advent is an invitation-an opportunity to slow down and take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus' coming.

He came to restore the broken relationship between God and us so that we might dwell in His presence-both now and forever. Jesus is our Way Maker. This study is not meant to be another "to do" on your list or create more stress in an already stressful season; it's a simple invitation to reflect on the character of the One who came and made a way. This study includes: - 13 self-paced readings through the book of Hebrews designed to bring your attention to Jesus as the Way Maker - Two simple questions and space to journal a prayer for each reading - Optional deeper study for each chapter - Six devotionals to help further your understanding of the passages and provide encouragement - A guided section to remember and reflect on the past year and see God's character in your life The word feast is rooted in abundance, and that's what awaits us in Scripture: a table laid out before us, not only for our essential nourishment, but also for our enjoyment. ALSO AVAILABLE: Listen to the companion teachings, get recommended resources, and more at FeastingOnTruth.com/WayMaker.

Book Synopsis Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre by : Elizabeth Brewer Redwine
Download or read book Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre written by Elizabeth Brewer Redwine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre reconsiders authorship at the Abbey Theatre. The actresses who performed the key roles at the Abbey contributed original ideas, language, stage directions, and revisions to the theatre's most renowned performances and texts, and this study asks that we consider the role of actresses in the development of these plays. With a focus on letters, diaries, archival photographs, and memoirs as well as morerecent theatre and performance criticism, this volume examines the way that the women who contributed to these roles have been written out of the history of the creation of these texts. Thinking about theplays as created in part by the actresses reveals new readings of the major texts of the Abbey Theatre. Plays that have been historically attributed to Yeats and Synge have complicated histories that demand re-examination of authorship.
