SOCIAL MEMORY AMONG THE LITERATI OF YEHUD - EHU...

Ehud Ben Zvi has been at the forefront of exploring how the study of social memory contributes
to our understanding of the intellectual worldof the literati of the early Second Temple period
and their textual repertoire. Many of his studies on the matter and several new relevant works
are here collected together providing a very useful resource for furthering research and
teaching in this area. The essays included here address  inter alia  prophets as sites of
memory  kings as sites memory  Jerusalem as a site of memory  a mnemonic system shaped by two
interacting 'national' histories  matters of identity and othering as framed and explored via
memories  mnemonic metanarratives making sense of the past and serving various didactic
purposes and their problems  memories of past and futures events shared by the literati  issues
of gender constructions and memory  memories understood by the group as 'counterfactual' and
their importance  and  in multiple ways  how and why shared memories served as a (safe)
playground for exploring multiple  central ideological issues within the group and of
generative grammars governing systemic preferences and dis-preferences for particular memories.
