Η οικονομία της Παλαιστίνης κι η γλώσσα του νεοφιλελευθερισμού / Palestine economy and neoliberal language

Στη σελίδα The Bible and Interpretation ο Robert J. Myles (Murdoch University) έχει δημοσιεύσει ένα κείμενο για την οικονομία στην αρχαία Παλαιστίνη της εποχής της Καινής Διαθήκης και τον τρόπο που αυτή συχνά κατανοείται στη σύγχρονη έρευνα μέσα από όρους καπιταλισμού. Καταλήγει με τις εξής σκέψεις:

"I have argued that we must make a serious and sober effort to rethink the first-century Galilean fishing trade and the more extensive agrarian social formation in non-capitalist terms—challenging the universality of its constitutive categories such as conceptions of enterprise, innovation, individualism, the free-market, and capital accumulation. Historical disciplines can and should play a crucial role in relativizing the inviolable reality of entrepreneurialism. This can be achieved simply by emphasizing how individual entrepreneurialism is an inadequate heuristic device for reading ancient texts. As an alternative, I suggest we regard Jesus’ call of fishermen in the Synoptic tradition as indicative of social peasant unrest that was, in fact, widespread during the frequent upheavals of first-century Roman Palestine. When viewed in tandem with other social, political, and economic forces that were intruding on the daily lives of Jewish peasants, the Synoptic narratives suddenly take on new life."

Diaspora Jews in current research

For the 2019 meeting of our group in Warsaw two sessions are scheduled

a) An open session where papers on any topic within the range of the interests of the research group are welcome.

b) A session focusing on the Jewish Diaspora communities in the cities of the Graeco-Roman world. More particularly, we invite papers that address methodological questions regarding the identification and study of archaeological and epigraphic evidence related to Jewish presence in the Diaspora, as well as papers that deal with particular aspects of history, development, organisation and life of these Jewish communities, their network system and relations to Palestine or their interaction with early Christian groups.
