Het postmoderne nog eens uitgelegd
More LessAbstractThe term ‘postmodernism’, taken from aesthetics (where ‘modern’ refers to avant-garde art), has been introduced by Lyotard into philosophy (where ‘modern’ means the time after 1600). In this article, its philosophical meaning is first explained by the debate between Lyotard and Habermas, and then explored more systematically. The two domains of philosophy and aesthetics are connected in a philosophy of the sublime, which sets the task for the future: that by evoking the inexpressible we allude to the Transcendent and respect the differences. In a last section some applications and criticisms are made.

Daar zaten de vrouwen, die Tammuz beweenden (Ezechiël 8:14)
More Less1Dit artikel is de uitwerking van een lezing gehouden op een klein symposium gehouden 2 februari 1996 georganiseerd door de Onderzoeksgroep: ‘Het Oude Testament: Tekst, Context en Interpretatie’ ter gelegenheid van de publicatie van B. Becking & M. Dijkstra (eds.), On Reading Prophetic Texts: Gender-Specific and Related Studies in Memory of Fokkelien van Dijk-Hemmes, Leiden 1996. Het is in het bijzonder een uitwerking van mijn bijdrage ‘Goddess, Gods, Men and Women in Ezekiel 8’, ibidem, 98 n. 49. Ik bedank de deelnemers aan het symposium voor hun reacties, waarvan sommige zeer bruikbaar zijn gebleken.
AbstractGender-specific rendering of the Old Testament aims among other things at rediscovery of the hidden history of women in the Bible and the ancient Near East. An interesting test-case is Ezekiel 8:14. The prophet Ezekiel observes in the temple a group of women performing funeral rites for the god Tammuz. Careful study of grammar_ and literary structure of the text and the socio-religious background of the Tammuz-cult demonstrate that the rite was an integral part of the preparations for the autumnal festival. The article of the word hannāšȋm refers to a well-defined guild of wailing-women who played a representative part in the observed rituals along with the groups of men mentioned. Like elsewhere, the Tammuz-cult in Jerusalem was not a marginal women’s cult, but the special domain of a professional guild of women in the official cult.

De positie van de joodse vrouw in de oudheid: Een overzicht van de recente literatuur
More LessAbstractJewish literature from the Hellenistic period gives a predominantly negative picture of the religious and social status of Jewish women. It is only seldom that we find a positive picture of women in high social positions. A survey of the extent to which women were confined within the home (an indication of a low social status) and of the degree of participation in higher education (a prerequisite for holding important positions) suggests however that in reality the position of Jewish women was more differentiated than the reader can infer from the picture given by Jewish literature.
