| Summary: | This is an attempt to relate Jn 1.1-18, in which divine Word becomes fully human. to the psychoanalytic narrative of human subjectivity described by theorist Julia Kristeva. The development and maintenance of human subjectivity is treated as, itself, a description of Incarnation, which, moreover, manages to challenge the tradi tional devaluation of flesh as a feminine term.I place this argument within a view of divine communication in the biblical text that does not expect any singular interpretation. Rather, it is to be seen within a process of continuing analysis and re-reading that allows for the heterogeneous pleasures and pains of readers as well as for the inherent multiplicity of the text. |
