Postcolonial Biblical Criticism: Interdisciplinary Intersections: Bible and Postcolonialism

Autor Fernando F. Segovia, Professor Stephen D. Moore
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 apr 2005
Postcolonial studies has recently made significant inroads into biblical studies, giving rise to numerous conference papers, articles, essays and books. 'Postcolonial Biblical Criticism' is the most in-depth and multifaceted introduction to this emerging field to date. It probes postcolonial biblical criticism from a number of different but interrelated angles in order to bring it into as sharp a focus as possible, so that its promise - and potential pitfalls - can be better appreciated. This volume carefully positions postcolonial biblical criticism in relation to other important political and theoretical currents in contemporary biblical studies: feminism; racial/ethnic studies; poststructuralism; and Marxism. Alternating between hermeneutical and exegetical reflection, the essays cumulatively isolate and evaluate the definitive features of postcolonial biblical criticism. Such a mapping of postcolonial biblical criticism as a whole has never before been undertaken in such explicit and detailed terms.The contributors include Roland Boer, Laura E. Donaldson, David Jobling, Tat-siong Benny Liew, Stephen D. Moore and Fernando F. Segovia.

Recenzii

Review in International Review of Biblical Studies, Vol 51: 2004/05
'A very welcom mapping, discussion and evalutation of what has become a significant approach to biblical interpretation. This is a useful collection. In particular, Segovia's critical analysis of a range of key texts from the 1990s is bound to become a standard point of reference. Liew's article is also of particular value in the range of critical theoretical issues that it raises.' ~ Peter Oakes, 28.5, 2006
The assemblage of biblical scholars who have contributed to this book is its major strength. These are all well-published  authors, most of whom have spent decades traversing the theoretical underpinnings of various critical approaches to the Bible - poststructuralism, postmodernism, Marxism, ideological criticism, feminism, and race/ethnicity.before turning to postcolonialism. .. for many biblical scholars, most of whom may be just beginning to reflect on concepts such as hybridity, mimicry, ambivalence, dislocation, diaspora, colonialism, and the like, this book should find a ready reading audience. The authors have a firm grasp of the issues at stake in interpreting the Bible along postcolonial lines. The book deserves to be read widely and would be especially useful in upper-division undergraduate classes in Bible and in seminary courses dealing with hermeneutical issues.

Caracteristici

The most in-depth introduction to Postcolonial biblical studies to date. Contributors are all seasoned scholars and well-known figures in contemporary biblical studies. Postcolonial theory offers great promise for opening up a whole new way of interpreting the Bible and interrogating colonial assumptions embedded in biblical interpretation. The Bible and Postcolonialism series examines this, one of the most challenging and contentious critical categories that have emerged in our time.
