Violence and Personhood in Ancient Israel and Comparative Contexts
is the first book-length work on personhood in ancient Israel. T.
M. Lemos reveals widespread intersections between violence and
personhood in both this society and the wider region. Relations of
domination and subordination were incredibly important to the
culture and social organization of ancient Israel often resulting
in these relations becoming determined by the boundaries of
personhood itself. Personhood was malleable-it could be and was
violently erased in many social contexts. This study exposes a
violence-personhood-masculinity nexus in which domination allowed
those in control to animalize and brutalize the bodies of
subordinates. Lemos argues that in particular social contexts in
the contemporary "western" world, this same nexus operates, holding
devastating consequences for particular social groups.
