| Итог: | 1. Introduction -- 2. Passing -- 3. Legitimate alternatives -- 4. Childlessness -- 5. Inverted tragic representation -- 6. Intersecting differences -- 7. Conclusion. "What would it look like to be queer in the time of Abraham and Sarah? What is normative and what is deviant in their stories? What does this have to do with queer lives today? In Ancestral Queerness, Gil Rosenberg uses a careful comparative method to develop a cross-cultural queer category (‘Queer’). He applies this category to Abraham and Sarah and argues that, Abraham and Sarah may usefully be regarded as ‘Queer’ ... Ancestral Queerness breaks new ground by developing a queer theory applicable to diverse cultures, revealing the bias in previous scholarship on Abraham and Sarah, and opening up new paths of interpretation in their narratives." -- publisher description |
