It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces.In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life?s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal.Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal.This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores. 606 $aPhénoménologie$2ram 606 $aBénédiction et malédiction$xNarration dans la Bible$2ram 606 $aPhenomenology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01060522 606 $aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00885196 606 $aBlessing and cursing$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00834275 606 $aPhenomenology 606 $aHebrew language$xSematics, Historical 606 $aAkkadian language$xSemantics 606 $aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian 606 $aBlessing and cursing$zMiddle East$xHistory 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 7$aPhénoménologie. 615 7$aBénédiction et malédiction$xNarration dans la Bible. 615 7$aPhenomenology. 615 7$aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian. 615 7$aBlessing and cursing. 615 0$aPhenomenology. 615 0$aHebrew language$xSematics, Historical. 615 0$aAkkadian language$xSemantics. 615 0$aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian. 615 0$aBlessing and cursing$xHistory. 676 $a133.4/4 700 $aKitz$b Anne Marie$01810893 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965474803321 996 $aCursed Are You$94362431 997 $aUNINA
