In dieser postkolonial-psychoanalytischen Studie über 1 Könige 1,1-12,24 argumentiert Sonia Kwok Wong anhand von Freudschen Theorien, dass das salomonische Königreich eine kulturelle Fantasie darstellt, die den ambivalenten Wunsch der persischen Judäer widerspiegelt, den Platz ihrer persischen Oberherren einzunehmen und gleichzeitig deren unterdrückerische Züge zu kritisieren.
This study takes on a historical-critical approach to the analysis of the Solomonic narrative (1 Kings 1:1-12:24) within the larger Deuteronomistic (Hi)Story (DH) by employing a postcolonial-psychoanalytic reading strategy. Sonia Wong argues that the DH is a cumulative, composite text which originated in the late fourth-century-BCE Persian Yehud. Through a Freudian model of fantasy as a disguised fulfillment for a repressed wish, Wong argues that the Solomonic Kingdom is a cultural fantasy that reflects the imperialized Yehudites' ambivalent wish to take the dominant, privileged position of the Persian imperializer through a pacifist mode of domination and to critique the imperializer's oppressive traits. The study provides a detailed textual analysis of the fantasy-thoughts, traces the fantasy-sources to the Persian context, and describes the psychic mechanisms involved in the fantasy-work.
