Beskrivning
Violence and Personhood in Ancient Israel and Comparative Contexts is the first book-length work on personhood in ancient Israel. T. M. Lemos reveals widespread intersections between violence and personhood in both this society and the wider region. Relations of domination and subordination were incredibly important to the culture and social organization of ancient Israel often resulting in these relations becoming determined by the boundaries of personhood itself. Personhood was malleable--it could be and was violently erased in many social contexts. This study exposes a violence-personhood-masculinity nexus in which domination allowed those in control to animalize and brutalize the bodies of subordinates. Lemos argues that in particular social contexts in the contemporary "western" world, this same nexus operates, holding devastating consequences for particular social groups.

Recensioner i media

[a] very timely and revealing study ... This monograph is carefully researched and meticulously documented. I was consistently impressed by the degree of nuance Lemos exercises throughout the study ... this book is a welcome addition to the growing collection of studies on various aspects of violence in the Hebrew Bible. It deserves a careful reading and will certainly become an important part of future conversations that reflect on the nature of personhood in Israelite thought and the determinative role violence played in that regard.
