The Dead Sea scrolls and Pauline literature /
:
The relationships between Pauline literature and the Dead Sea scrolls have fascinated specialists ever since the latter were first discovered. Now that all the Qumran scrolls have been published, it is possible to see more clearly the amplitude and impact of this corpus on first century Judaism. This book offers some syntheses of the results obtained in the last decades, and also opens up new perspectives, by highlighting similarities and indicating possible relationships between these various writings within Mediterranean Judaism. In addition, the authors wish to show how certain traditions spread, evolve and are reconfigured in ancient Judaism as they meet new religious, cultural and social challenges.

Transformations of the Inner Self in Ancient Religions /
:
This collection of papers from two workshops - held in Heidelberg, Germany, in July 1996 and Jerusalem, Israel, in October 1997 - is concerned with anthropological rather than theological aspects of the Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions, ranging from the 'primary' religions of the archaic period and their complex developments in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the 'soteriological' movements and 'secondary' religions that emerged in Late Antiquity. The first part of the book focuses on \'Confession and Conversion\', while the second part is devoted to the topic of \'Guilt, Sin and Rituals of Purification\'. The primary purpose of this volume is to convey a sense of the dynamics and dialectical relationships between the various Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions from the archaic period to Late Antiquity.

Histories : Ancient, Modern, Personal and Political /
:
Histories examined here extend from the ancient to the modern, encompassing also the political and the personal. The reason for examining recent trends in the historiography of the Roman empire is because it is there, at the starting point of the historical trajectory on which the whole of Marxist theory is based, that attempts are being made to undermine its foundations. Against this the efficacy of class and much else besides is reasserted via an examination of how and why discourse about work, gender, and property relations features at the rural grassroots, together with a critical analysis of how and why discarding Marxism has contributed to the current empowerment of populism.

El primitivo implorante : El sistema poético del mundo" de José Lezama Lima" /
:
La crítica ha señalado con frecuencia el carácter proliferante de la escritura lezamiana, y ha tendido o a exaltar esta proliferación como índice de su modernidad, de su carácter neobarroco, o a reducirla a una suma o totalización. Mediante una serie de lecturas detalladas de la ensayística de Lezama y de Paradiso, El primitivo implorante se propone, al contrario, precisar algunos de los elementos que, por un lado, impulsan esa proliferación y, por otro, impiden que ella se fije en sistema o totalización. En otras palabras, la crítica ha solido subrayar la libertad con que Lezama-Adán, desde su posición céntrica, o lo que es lo mismo, su margen de posibilidades infinitas, baraja su circunstancia. Este estudio enfoca, en cambio, sus límites. Sin pretender agotarlos, El primitivo implorante analiza los contrapuntos o tejidos que se urden en torno a los elementos que provocan e impiden la teleología lezamiana. Elementos, por así decirlo, díscolos, tales como el negrismo o la sensibilidad negra, la pérdida de una ontología nacional o el primitivo implorante, la homosexualidad o el eunuco poseedor y el receptor de masas o el dragón devorador. Los ejes de esta nueva lectura de Lezama son la interpretación, la homosexualidad y la nación.
