The volume presents a collection of papers read during three
workshops held in Leipzig (2016), Jerusalem (2017), and Vienna
(2018). International scholars from different disciplines and
methodological approaches explored gender-specific constructions of
foreignness/strangeness in the Old Testament, Egypt, and
Mesopotamia from their particular perspectives. They showed that
when combined, strangeness/foreignness and gender can take on very
different forms. Various processes of the "othering" of women are
of importance, which differ from the "othering" of men. The
contributions investigate specific questions, individual female
figures and individual phenomena as model cases. The basic question
was when, where, how and for what purpose the categories of
foreignness and gender were connected and activated in literary
tradition. The collection is a preliminary and basic work for
further study of gender-specific concepts of
foreignness/strangeness in the ancient Mediterranean cultures of
the first millennium BCE.
