Judaic Technologies of the Word - A Cognitive Analysis of Jewish Cultural Formation

Informationen zum Autor Gabriel Levy is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and is co-editor of Judaism and Emotion: Texts, Performance, Experience. Klappentext Judaic Technologies of the Word argues that Judaism does not exist in an abstract space of reflection. Rather, it exists both in artifacts of the material world - such as texts - and in the bodies, brains, hearts, and minds of individual people. More than this, Judaic bodies and texts, both oral and written, connect and feed back on one another.
