Etty Hillesum in discours

Als er één ding opvalt in de publicaties over Etty Hillesum, dan is het wel dat er zoveel verschillende discoursen rondom haar nalatenschap zijn. Etty Hillesum is en blijft voortdurend in discours, vanuit een wonderlijke hoeveelheid perspectieven en vraagstellingen, al dan niet ingegeven door nieuw gevonden materiaal. Deze derde uitgave van de 'Etty Hillesum Studies' besteedt aandacht aan 'nieuwe vondsten', zoals blocnotevelletjes, oude brieven, beschreven boekjes, losse aantekeningen en andere historische documenten. Het historische en literair-historische onderzoek rondom Hillesum gaat onverwijld door en draagt bij aan een meer wetenschappelijk verantwoord beeld van Hillesum en haar geschriften. Daarnaast is in deze bundel aandacht voor diverse thema's en vragen rondom Etty Hillesum, zoals haar verondersteld martelaarschap, haar betekenis als getuige van de Sjoa en de verschillende aspecten van haar spiritualiteit. In dit derde deel komt ook de Franstalige receptie van Hillesums nalatenschap aan bod.

In The Existential Philosophy of Etty Hillesum Meins G.S. Coetsier breaks new ground by demonstrating the Jewish existential nature of Etty Hillesum’s spiritual and cultural life in light of the writings of Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Hillesum’s diaries and letters, written between 1941 and 1943, illustrate her struggle to come to terms with her personal life in the context of the Second World War and the Shoah. By finding God under the rubble of the horrors, she rediscovers the divine presence between humankind, while taking up responsibility for the Other as a way to embrace justice and compassion. In a fascinating, accessible and thorough study, Coetsier dispels much of the confusion that assails readers when they are exposed to the bewildering range of Christian and Jewish influences and other cultural interpretations of her writings. The result is a convincing and profound picture of Etty Hillesum's path to spiritual freedom.

Series: Pericope, 2 The Book of Ruth reads like a novel. Scholars agree on the literary virtuosity of its author, but are deeply divided about the way she or he has structured the work. For the first time ever, The Structure of the Book of Ruth makes use of hitherto neglected evidence from ancient Hebrew, Greek, Syriac and Latin manuscripts in an attempt to create a more objective basis for discussions about the book’s structure. This type of structural analysis is a powerful new tool in the hands of Bible scholars. Structural irregularities appear to elucidate the redactional history of the Book of Ruth. Structural breaks and links appear to function as markers indicating a certain unders...

  • Publisher: BRILL

In this volume twelve contributions discuss the relevance, accuracy, potential, and possible alternatives to a literary reading of ancient Jewish writings, especially the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on different academic fields (biblical studies, rabbinic studies, and literary studies) and on various methodologies (literary criticism, rhetorical criticism, cognitive linguistics, historical criticism, and reception history), the essays form a state-of-the-art overview of the current use of the literary approach toward ancient Jewish texts. The volume convincingly shows that the latest approaches to a literary reading can still enhance our understanding of these texts.
