Natalie Mylonas uses Ezekiel 16 as a case study in order to reveal
the critical relationship between space, emotion, and identity
politics in the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on interdisciplinary research
that emphasises how space and emotions are inextricably linked in
human experience, Mylonas explores the portrayal of Yhwh's wife,
Jerusalem, in Ezekiel 16 as a personified city who feels emotion.
She foregrounds purity and gender issues, as well as debates on
emotions in the Hebrew Bible, emphasising that spatiality is a key
component of how these issues are conceptualised in ancient Israel.
This book argues that the power struggle between Jerusalem and Yhwh
in Ezekiel 16 is a struggle over the contested space of Jerusalem's
body and the city space. Jerusalem's emotions are in a dynamic
relationship with the spaces in the text - they are signified by
these spaces, shift as the constitution of the spaces shifts, and
are shaped by Jerusalem's use of space. Her desire, pride, and
shamelessness are communicated spatially through her use of city
space, while her representation as disgusting is underscored by her
"uncontrollable" female body. Mylonas concludes by showing how
Ezekiel's vision of the new Jerusalem in Ezekiel 40-48
re-establishes sacred space through the erasure of the feminine
city metaphor coupled with strict boundary policing, which is a far
cry from the assault on Jerusalem's boundaries described in Ezekiel
16.
