Infos

If one of the many ways out of trauma's impact is through words, then why not use a theory closely attached to words and their impact alongside current trauma theories in understanding historical narratives? In Trauma Talks in the Hebrew Bible: Speech Act Theory and Trauma Hermeneutics, Alexiana Fry utilizes a diverse methodology of speech act theory and trauma hermeneutics to argue for a more fluid and holistic approach in re-interpreting narratives in the Hebrew Bible. Examining a more dissociative "e;objective"e; manner in reading, each chapter asks the question of "e;what about our own bodies?"e; Purposely provoking attunement with oneself to embrace "e;empathic unsettlement,"e; the book refuses to give any semblance of finality. Through the many types of performative utterances and traumas both individual and collective-Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Ecclesiastes, and Hosea-Fry investigates the varied layers that constitute their many meanings. The reader is invited into an awareness and openness that is the human experience in biblical studies.
