Sommario/riassunto

During the Second Temple period, the Babylonian exile came to signify not only the deportations and forced migrations of the sixth century B.C.E., but also a variety of other alienations. These alienations included political disenfranchisement, dissatisfaction with the status quo, and an existential alienation from God. Enduring Exile charts the transformation of exile from a historically bound and geographically constrained concept into a symbol for physical, mental, and spiritual distress. Beginning with preexilic materials, Halvorson-Taylor locates antecedents for the metaphorization of exile in the articulation of exile as treaty curse; continuing through the early postexilic period, she recovers an evolving concept of exile within the intricate redaction of Jeremiah’s Book of Consolation (Jeremiah 30–31), Second and Third



Isaiah (Isaiah 40–66), and First Zechariah (Zechariah 1–8). The formation of these works illustrates the thought, description, and exegesis that fostered the use of exile as a metaphor for problems that could not be resolved by a return to the land— and gave rise to a powerful trope within Judaism and Christianity: the motif of the “enduring exile.”

Note generali

Transgender, trans-culturalism, transnationalism – `trans' concepts are experiencing a political and academic boom. They bring with them the demand to open up socio-cultural identities. But the borders of national, social and corporeal spaces, which have now become fluid, threaten to re-solidify into traditions and forms of neo-racism: thus, values of the bourgeois nuclear family and right wing populist positions are not just being continually brought up, but are being actively reproduced in various media and social channels. For this reason, the essays in this volume probe into the processes through which trans-concepts essentialize themselves – and at which normative frontiers do they come to grief?

Sommario/riassunto

Transgender, Transkulturalität, Transnationalität – Konzepte des Trans erleben eine politische und wissenschaftliche Konjunktur. In ihnen geht die Forderung nach einer Öffnung von soziokulturellen Identitäten auf. Doch die fluide gewordenen Grenzen von nationalen, sozialen und körperlichen Räumen drohen sich in Traditionen und Neorassismen erneut zu verfestigen: So werden Werte der bürgerlichen Kleinfamilie ebenso wie rechtspopulistische Positionen nicht nur immer wieder thematisiert, sondern in verschiedenen medialen und sozialen Kanälen reproduziert.Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen daher: Durch welche Prozesse essentialisieren sich Transkonzepte – und an welchen normativen Grenzen zerbrechen sie?

»Das Buch ist interessant, weil es ambitioniert und ambivalent ist und daher zum Denken anregt.«
