| Summary: | Pomography - this ward has become crucial in naming certain texts in the prophetic books of the Bible which deal with the metaphorization of Jerusalem/Samaria or Israel/Judah as wife and God as husband. This marital symbolism is, closely looked at, symbolism but not inevitably marital. lt pictures the relationship between God and bis people respectively between the husband and his wife in a way quite disturbing for modern readers. In my statement I want to question the term pomography for the prophetic texts conceming two perspectives: the feminist theoretical one asking for the definition of pomography and the exegetical one asking for the pragmatics of the texts. |
