Book Synopsis Judaism Since Gender by : Miriam Peskowitz

Download or read book Judaism Since Gender written by Miriam Peskowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judaism Since Gender offers a radically new concept of Jewish Studies, staking out new intellectual terrain and redefining the discipline as an intrinsically feminist practice. The question of how knowledge is gendered has been discussed by philosophers and feminists for years, yet is still new to many scholars of Judaism. Judaism Since Gender illuminates a crucial debate among intellectuals both within and outside the academy, and ultimately overturns the belief that scholars of Judaism are still largely oblivious of recent developments in the study of gender. Offering a range of provocations--Jewish men as sissies, Jesus as transvestite, the problem of eroticizing Holocaust narratives--this timely collection pits the joys of transgression against desires for cultural wholeness.
