Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative de Yael Feldman

Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative: Stanford Studies in Jewish History and C

Autor Yael Feldman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2010

Structura lucrării Glory and Agony este concepută ca o istorie a mentalităților, investigând modul în care conceptul de sacrificiu național a fost modelat în cultura ebraică modernă. Metodologia utilizată de Yael Feldman este interdisciplinară, punând în dialog surse din literatură, artă, psihologie și filozofie pentru a decoda „scena primordială” a sacrificiului lui Isaac. Considerăm esențial modul în care autoarea nu se limitează la textul biblic din Geneza 22, ci urmărește ramificațiile acestuia în politicile identitare ale secolului XX, oferind o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care martiriul religios a fost reconfigurat în contextul secularismului occidental.

Descoperim aici o analiză comparativă vastă, care recuperează narațiuni uitate sau marginalizate, de la sacrificiul fiicei lui Iefta la cel al Ifigeniei, evidențiind dimensiunea de gen a actului sacrificial. Reținem că volumul reușește să expună fundamentul sacru al structurilor politice moderne, tratând violența și martiriul nu ca relicve ale trecutului, ci ca elemente constitutive ale narativului național. Stilul este academic, dens și riguros, fiind adaptat unui public specializat în studii iudaice, istorie sau sociologia religiei.

Comparabil cu The Actuality of Sacrifice de Alberdina Houtman în rigurozitate, dar actualizat pentru dinamica specifică a culturii ebraice contemporane, volumul lui Feldman se distinge prin focalizarea pe tranziția de la ritual la ideologie națională. În timp ce alte lucrări similare, precum Isaac, Iphigeneia, and Ignatius, explorează imitația lui Hristos prin martiriu, Glory and Agony se concentrează pe modul în care aceste arhetipuri au fost internalizate și transformate de proiectul sionist în ultimul centenar.

Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă profundă asupra modului în care simbolurile religioase arhaice, precum sacrificiul lui Isaac, sunt utilizate pentru a legitima sacrificiul politic.

Despre autor

Yael Feldman este o specialistă recunoscută în domeniul studiilor ebraice și comparate, activând în cadrul unor instituții academice de prestigiu. Expertiza sa se concentrează pe intersecția dintre literatură, istoria ideilor și psihanaliză, cu un interes deosebit pentru modul în care textele canonice sunt reinterpretate în cultura israeliană modernă. Prin volumul Glory and Agony, publicat la Stanford University Press, Feldman își consolidează poziția de autoritate în analiza mecanismelor culturale care stau la baza conceptelor de martiriu și sacrificiu național.

Descriere scurtă

Glory and Agony is the first history of the shifting attitudes toward national sacrifice in Hebrew culture over the last century. Its point of departure is Zionism's obsessive preoccupation with its haunting "primal scene" of sacrifice, the near-sacrifice of Isaac, as evidenced in wide-ranging sources from the domains of literature, art, psychology, philosophy, and politics. By placing these sources in conversation with twentieth-century thinking on human sacrifice, violence, and martyrdom, this study draws a complex picture that provides multiple, sometimes contradictory insights into the genesis and gender of national sacrifice.

Extending back over two millennia, this study unearths retellings of biblical and classical narratives of sacrifice, both enacted and aborted, voluntary and violent, male and female—Isaac, Ishmael, Jephthah's daughter, Iphigenia, Jesus. Glory and Agony traces the birth of national sacrifice out of the ruins of religious martyrdom, exposing the sacred underside of Western secularism in Israel as elsewhere.

Recenzii

"Despite the vast historiography [of Akedat Yitzhak], Yael Felman's contribution is significant. Glory and Agony presents and interprets Modern Hebrew literature of the trope of Akedat Yitzhak in the Palestine and the State of Israel of the twentieth century . . . Readers with access to Hebrew will derive the most from this thoroughly engaging text. Everyone will learn much from a careful reading."—Paul Howard Hamburg, University of California, Berkeley

"Yael Feldman's Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative is an enthralling engagement with one of humanity's most ancient and consequential tropes . . . Though there have been numerous studies of the ever-evolving and sometimes oppressive nature of this myth, none has come close to providing the kind of brave interdisciplinary acumen Feldman's scholarship delivers . . . Glory and Agony is a work of forceful originality yet always meticulously researched, containing illustrative, provocative epigraphs as well as nearly ninety pages of informative and lively notes that engage with extraordinarily eclectic sources."—Ranen Omer-Sherman, Religion and Literature

"This book by Yael Feldman presents a detailed, complex and sometimes provocative study of the way writers, poets, dramatis, critics, some scholars, and a few visual artists in the State of Israel during the last century have dealt with this account. . . This brief summary only begins to suggest the variety and complexity of material covered in this book. Anyone who knows the Israeli literary scene will find this book an illuminating discussion of that scene and a significant contribution to it."—William Sheperd, Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception

"Feldman's book is extremely important and a much needed contribution; a Hebrew version is a desideratum. I know of no other comprehensive study of the akedah, the Sacrifice of Isaac, that compares to this superb multidisciplinary investigation of the Hebrew sources, that demonstrates a rare erudition in both the Jewish tradition and contemporary literature, that suggests original links and connections, and that offers very productive comparative readings."—Galili Shahar, Cathedra: Journal for the Study of Land-of-Israel [Translated from Hebrew]

"In one of the most comprehensive and impressive historiographies of Hebrew national culture, Feldman elegantly yet passionately presents a multi-dimensional narrative of the Israeli preoccupation with Genesis 22 . . . [N]ew and fresh . . . Feldman's book is an outstanding achievement that is likely to engage scholars and readers for many years to come."—Neta Stahl, Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations
"Feldman has undertaken an ambitious project [and] ranges over an abundance of literary material . . . [M]assively detailed and comprehensive . . . One of the book's strengths is that it helps demonstrate the significance of modern Hebrew culture to a wider audience."—Naomi Sokoloff, Association for Jewish Studies Review
"The achievements of this [book] are outstandingly intriguing . . . Glory and Agony is a highly condensed, analytic encyclopedia of the trope of sacrifice in Western culture."—Iris Milner, The Journal of Israeli History
"Feldman's study stands as a role model for continuing investigations of biblical tropes in modern literatures; indeed her book may even remain the crowning study of the binding of Isaac as a literary trope. But one thing is certain—its readers are unlikely to ever again encounter any kind of sacrificial narrative without harking back to Feldman's observations."—Yael Halevi-Wise, Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies
"This fascinating, multifaceted, and erudite book traces the use of the narrative(s) of the 'binding of Isaac' (Hebrew Akedah) or 'sacrifice of Isaac' (English) in twentieth-century secular Israeli literature. It discusses the various and changing ways in which the motif of a father's willingness to sacrifice his son to God has been turned into a secular metaphor for military self-sacrifice and heroic death in battle . . . Feldman's book is both very enjoyable and highly thought provoking, and I can recommend it whole-heartedly."—Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Review of Biblical Literature
"Feldman's first-rate interdisciplinary study demonstrates not only how modern ideologies produce re-readings and rewritings of ancient myth but also how ancient myths weight and reshape these very ideologies. A must read for any reader interested in Hebrew culture and the psyche of modern Israel, and an insightful read for inquisitive readers at large."—Menachem Brinker, University of Chicago and Hebrew University, Jerusalem
