| Summary: | Acknowledgments; Contents; The Book of Job: Aesthetics, Ethics, and Hermeneutics; Is the Book of Job a Tragedy?; Job, the Mourner; Whose Job Is This? Dramatic Irony and double entendre in the Book of Job; Reading Pain in the Book of Job; Melville's Wall Street Job: The Missing Cry; Kafka's Other Job; Joban Transformations of the Wandering Jew in Joseph Roth's Hiob and Der Leviathan; Hebrew Poems Rewriting Job; The Bible on the Hebrew/Israeli Stage: Hanoch Levin's The Torments of Job as a Modern Tragedy; Beyond Theodicy? Joban Themes in Philip Roth's Nemesis; Notes on Contributors. The Book of Job has held a central role in defining the project of modernity from the age of Enlightenment until today. Why has Job's response to disaster become a touchstone for modern reflections on catastrophic events? This volume engages this question and offers new perspectives on the tragic bent of the Book of Job, on its dramatic irony, on Job's position as mourner, and the unique representation of the Joban body in pain |
