Conclusion -- $tAppendix -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex of Biblical References -- $tIndex of Names 330 $aThe Song of Songs, a lyric cycle of love scenes without a narrative plot, has often been considered as the Bible's most beautiful and enigmatic book. The present study questions the still dominant exegetical convention that merges all of the Song's voices into the dialogue of a single couple, its composite heroine Shulamit being a projection screen for norms of womanhood. An alternative socio-spatial reading, starting with the Hebrew text's strophic patterns and its references to historical realia, explores the poem's artful alternation between courtly, urban, rural, and pastoral scenes with their distinct characters. The literary construction of social difference juxtaposes class-specific patterns of consumption, mobility, emotion, power structures, and gender relations. This new image of the cycle as a detailed poetic frieze of ancient society eventually leads to a precise hypothesis concerning its literary and religious context in the Hellenistic age, as well as its geographical origins in the multiethnic borderland east of the Jordan. In a Jewish echo of anthropological skepticism, the poem emphasizes the plurality and relativity of the human condition while praising the communicative powers of pleasure, fantasy, and multifarious Eros. 410 0$aJewish Thought, Philosophy and Religion 606 $aAmman 606 $aDionysos 606 $aDionysus 606 $aHellenistic Judaism 606 $aHohelied 606 $aSong of Songs 606 $ahellenistisches Judentum 606 $3(DE-601)10517517X$3(DE-588)4200241-2$aSozialgeschichtliche Exegese$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)105715840$3(DE-588)4128644-3$aZeithintergrund$2gnd 606 $aRELIGION / Biblical Reference / Language Study$2bisacsh 610 $aAmman. 610 $aDionysus. 610 $aHellenistic Judaism. 610 $aSong of Songs. 615 4$aAmman. 615 4$aDionysos. 615 4$aDionysus. 615 4$aHellenistic Judaism. 615 4$aHohelied. 615 4$aSong of Songs. 615 4$ahellenistisches Judentum. 615 7$aSozialgeschichtliche Exegese 615 7$aZeithintergrund 615 7$aRELIGION / Biblical Reference / Language Study. 676 $a223/.906 700 $aWilke$b Carsten, $0978192 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309055603316 996 $aFarewell to Shulamit$92229167 997 $aUNISA
