Book excerpt: In Sodoms ThresholdThe Desire for the Unthinkable, author Dr. Isaac B. Rosler deconstructs the narrative of Sodom and highlights how religion borrows its fervor and passion from a nonreligious impetus that is not only other than religion but also other than God. He invites us to trespassto think about what has already trespassed our senses and to make sense of an overabundant excess that remains unsacrificable even through ruins, ashes, and forgetfulness. Sodoms Threshold explores concepts of alterity and otherness, and it calls us to think about a space of passion that keeps returning in spite of interruptionsin spite of religious, family, or state mandates that command us not to touch an alterity that has already arrived and is in excess of every touch. The Sodomites forbidden passion is an excess that impassionsit is a surplus that will be usurped and neutralized ad infi nitum by the multiple religions that both rise against its mystery and yet are also founded by it. Though Sodom was erased, its alterity and its surplus are indestructible.

Download or read book Sodom Voice written by Lucy Mome and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical city of Sodom is often associated with the concept of sin and divine retribution. In particular, the story of the angels of Sodom has become a topic of debate and interpretation over the years. According to the Book of Genesis, two angels visited the city of Sodom and were welcomed into the home of a righteous man named Lot. However, the men of the city, upon learning of the presence of the angels, demanded that they be brought out so that they could "know" them. Lot refused, and the men of the city became violent, forcing Lot and his family to flee while the city was destroyed by divine intervention. The concept of the angels of Sodom has been interpreted in a variety of ways over the years. Some have argued that the story is an indictment of homosexuality, as the men of the city are often described as wanting to engage in sexual activity with the angels. Others have taken a more nuanced approach, arguing that the story is more about the importance of hospitality and the dangers of mob mentality. Regardless of the interpretation, the story of the angels of Sodom raises important questions about morality and the relationship between individuals and society. On the one hand, the men of the city can be seen as representing the worst impulses of a group, acting out of a desire for power and control. On the other hand, Lot represents the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of violence and persecution. At its core, the story of the angels of Sodom is about the tension between individual rights and the needs of society. While it is important to recognize the importance of social cohesion and cooperation, it is also crucial to recognize the value of individual autonomy and the right to make decisions for oneself. In many ways, the angels of Sodom represent a warning about the dangers of conformity and the importance of staying true to one's own beliefs and values. The story of the angels of Sodom is a complex and multifaceted one that has been the subject of debate and interpretation for centuries. Whether seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mob mentality or an indictment of certain forms of sexuality, the story raises important questions about morality, society, and the individual. Ultimately, it reminds us of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity, and the need to balance the needs of the group with the rights of the individual...

Download or read book Looking Back written by Judith Weinshall Liberman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-07-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking Back, the first collection of published plays from visual artist Judith Weinshall Liberman, brings the ineffable human experience to life, to the stage, and to the imagination. Written in her eighties, these four new plays explore a journey to understanding, as filtered through a mature perspective that raises questions relevant to our times. When her husband, a professor of law and a gifted pianist, suffered a stroke in his early fifties, everything changed. A heartfelt study of their shared journey to understanding and compassion, Empathy explores the impact of life-altering illness on a family. Until recently, Liberman never questioned biblical Abrahams obedience to God, but after a lifetime of reflection, that all changed. Good Old Abraham questions the rationality and morality of Abrahams behavior and his suitability for the positive symbolic role accorded to him by history. Like Michal, daughter of King Saul, Liberman has known the agony of grief in wartime. The loss of her only brother during the Israel War of Independence in 1948 inspired Liberman to create Michal, in which a young woman is caught up in forces beyond her control. As in her other plays, the implications of Siseras Mother extend beyond the confines of the drama. A lifetime of contemplation about the war against the Canaanites revealed something extraordinary to Liberman: the Canaanite commanders mother was not a villain but the tragic victim of mans inhumanity. A profound and achingly beautiful passage into the human experience, Looking Back brings new light to timeless issues.
