The fringes debate: a conclusion of sorts -- Epilogue. 330 $aThe rule that exempts women from rituals that need to be performed at specific times (so-called timebound, positive commandments) has served for centuries to stabilize Jewish gender. It has provided a rationale for women's centrality at home and their absence from the synagogue. Departing from dominant popular and scholarly views, Elizabeth Shanks Alexander argues that the rule was not conceived to structure women's religious lives, but rather became a tool for social engineering only after it underwent shifts in meaning during its transmission. Alexander narrates the rule's complicated history, establishing the purposes for which it was initially formulated and the shifts in interpretation that led to its being perceived as a key marker of Jewish gender. At the end of her study, Alexander points to women's exemption from particular rituals (Shema, tefillin and Torah study), which, she argues, are better places to look for insight into rabbinic gender. 517 3 $aGender & Timebound Commandments in Judaism 606 $aWomen in Judaism 606 $aSex role$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJewish women$xReligious life 615 0$aWomen in Judaism. 615 0$aSex role$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJewish women$xReligious life. 676 $a296.4082 700 $aAlexander$b Elizabeth Shanks$f1967-$01035693 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452542503321 996 $aGender and timebound commandments in Judaism$92455517 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05032nam 22006735 450 001 9910760272703321 005 20251009094134.0 010 $a9783031375033 010 $a3031375033 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-37503-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30847670 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30847670 035 $a(CKB)28645360600041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-37503-3 035 $a(EXLCZ)9928645360600041 100 $a20231031d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe History and Environmental Impacts of Hunting Deities $eSupernatural Gamekeepers and Animal Masters /$fedited by Richard J.

It documents the antiquity and widespread occurrence of the belief in supernatural gamekeepers at the global level. This interdisciplinary volume documents both the antiquity and the widespread geographical distribution of this belief along with surveying the various manifestations of this cosmology by way of studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Some chapters explore the manifestations of this belief as they appear in petroglyphs/pictographs and other forms of material culture. Others focus on the environmental impacts of these beliefs/rituals and prescribed foraging restrictions by analyzing how they affect game harvests. The internationally recognized scholars in this volume assess the efficacy of this particular form of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and investigate if adherence to the belief in animal masters actually causes hunters to refrain from overharvesting wild game and thereby contributes to sustainable hunting practices. This volume is of interest to anthropologists, archaeologists and other social scientists researching traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), indigenous conservation, biodiversity, and sustainability practices, and animal deities. 410 0$aConflict, Environment, and Social Complexity,$x2730-5880 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aArchaeology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAnthropology of religion 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEnvironmental Anthropology 606 $aArchaeology and Social Issues 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aAnthropology of Religion 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aArchaeology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aAnthropology of religion. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aEnvironmental Anthropology. 615 24$aArchaeology and Social Issues. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aAnthropology of Religion. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a304.2 700 $aChacon$b Richard J$0868562 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760272703321 996 $aThe History and Environmental Impacts of Hunting Deities$93599631 997 $aUNINA
