Kissing in the Hebrew Bible
This article explores the role of kissing (root nashaq ) in the cultural imagination of the Hebrew Bible. Informed by current research in neuroscience and the history of emotions, it problematizes the prevailing assumption in biblical scholarship that kissing is a manifestation of love and affection. Biblical texts never explicitly present kissing as the expression of an emotion. The article examines the movements, body parts, and sensory experie…
Touch and Responses to Pain in the Hebrew Bible
The article takes its departure point in two sets of contemporary studies: first, studies that establish the vital role of touch in the alleviation of pain among both human and non-human primates; second, studies that demonstrate the social and cultural constructions of touch. On this basis, the article investigates whether the Hebrew Bible, consistent in its attention to suffering, depicts touch as a way to relieve pain. It first reviews נגע and…
Josephus’s Lamentations in the Judean War
In the Judean War ’s proem, Josephus professes his need to lament, an atypical statement in Hellenistic and Roman historiography. This article explores his lamentations, in the proem and the work, as they engage body, emotion, gender, and power. It examines the constructions that laments receive in Josephus’s diverse literary and cultural backgrounds—biblical and early Jewish literature as well as ancient Greek and Roman traditions. It also consi…

This chapter reviews recent scholarship on the roots אהב and שׂנא, commonly translated by “love” and “hate.” The terms are used in Deuteronomy in both an interpersonal context and the description of the covenant between the Israelites and their deity. Scholarship has mainly focused on the uses of love and hate in covenants and treaties, in the Hebrew Bible and the Near East more broadly; in this literary context, the two terms express the covenan…
The Study of Emotions in Early Jewish Texts
This article reviews recent research on emotions in the field of early Judaism, mostly in literature. The article starts with an example from the biblical story of Joseph, to illustrate the need for a culturally sensitive understanding of emotions. Various approaches to emotions are then examined: philology and the history of the self, the construction of identity, structures of power (including gender), experiences with the divine, and emotions …
Implicit Biblical Motifs in Almodóvar’s Hable con ella and Volver The Bible as Intertext
This article explores implicit biblical motifs in two films by Pedro Almodóvar: Hable con ella (2002) and Volver (2006). Implicit motifs designate echoes to biblical texts that have textual basis but cannot be proven intentional. The article starts by providing some theoretical basis by referring to the notion of intertextuality and suggesting criteria. It then traces biblical motifs in the two films mentioned above (both in individual scenes and…
