- Title
CHAPTER 1: Effects of Materiality in Israelite-Jewish Conceptions of Gender and Love: On a Necessary Synthesis of Constructionist and New Materialist Approaches.
- Authors
Schleicher, Marianne
- Abstract
This chapter wishes to understand the mechanisms of how conceptions of gender and love developed in ancient Israelite-Jewish culture without leaving the effects of material aspects of gender and love beyond analytical commentary. To do so, it synthesises Foucault on power's investment in points of resistance, Butler on the premises of subversion, Haraway and Barad on the effects of materiality in diffraction patterns, and Grosz on individual impetuses to resist discursive pressure. With this theoretical apparatus, biblical and early rabbinic texts are analysed to assess when genderqueer bodies and deviating practices of love affect in/-tolerance and/or ex-/inclusion.
