Semeia 40: Text and Textuality - Softcover

 
9781589835870: Semeia 40: Text and Textuality

Synopsis

This issue of "Semeia" was conceived as an opportunity to conjoin theoretical reflections on the meanings of text and textuality with responses from textual critics who regularly work with sacred textual traditions in western culture. The theoretical articles challenge the assumptions of modernist theories of interpretation and liberal romanticist hermeneutics from diverse perspectives of feminist criticism, deconstructionist theories of discourse and post-Holocaust studies. They are also a critique of each other as are the critical responses from the textual critics. "Semeia" is an experimental journal devoted to the exploration of new and emergent areas and methods of biblical criticism.
