Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Rousseau's Republican Romance, Elizabeth Wingrove combines political theory and narrative analysis to argue that Rousseau's stories of sex and sexuality offer important insights into the paradoxes of democratic consent. She suggests that despite Rousseau's own protestations, "man" and "citizen" are not rival or contradictory ideals. Instead, they are deeply interdependent. Her provocative reconfiguration of republicanism introduces the concept of consensual nonconsensuality--a condition in which one wills the circumstances of one's own domination. This apparently paradoxical possibility appears at the center of Rousseau's republican polity and his romantic dyad: in both instances, the expression and satisfaction of desire entail a twin |

experience of domination and submission. Drawing on a wide variety of Rousseau's political and literary writings, Wingrove shows how consensual nonconsensuality organizes his representations of desire and identity. She demonstrates the inseparability of republicanism and accounts of heterosexuality in an analysis that emphasizes the sentimental and somatic aspects of citizenship. In Rousseau's texts, a politics of consent coincides with a performative politics of desire and of emotion. Wingrove concludes that understanding his strategies of democratic governance requires attending to his strategies of symbolization. Further, she suggests that any understanding of political practice requires attending to bodily practices. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Der Band untersucht befremdliche Begebenheiten in der Apostelgeschichte innerhalb des Kontextes der hellenistischen Welt und |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
aus deren Perspektive: Jesu Himmelfahrt, Führungen durch den Geist, Visionen, Angelophanien, Gefängnisausbrüche und Totenauferweckungen. Viele dieser Begebenheiten werden von der Forschung entweder übergangen, oder sie werden mit einem anderen Ziel interpretiert als dem, diese Erzählungen zu verstehen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung liest die Erzählungen aus dem Blickwinkel der ursprünglichen Zuhörerschaft, die mit der Septuaginta und mit anderen griechischen und lateinischen Schriften bestens vertraut war. Die kulturell befremdlichen Begebenheiten werden dann vor dem Hintergrund dieser Texte interpretiert. |
This book examines many of the strange events and actions in Acts in the context of the Hellenistic world and from that perspective. These events and actions include the ascension of Jesus, direction by the Spirit, visions, angelophanies, prison escapes and resuscitations of the dead. Many of these events are either avoided in scholarship or are investigated with an agenda other than to understand them for themselves. The book constructs an ancient audience to be one that has a close familiarity with the Septuagint and with other Greek and Latin writings. The culturally-strange events are then interpreted through the lens of these texts. |
