A little more #introduction

When I say I’m interested in constructions of disability in the book of Proverbs, I mean I am fascinated by the way the authors and compilers of that text employ language of disability (impairments of sight, mobility impairments, hearing, cognitive, etc) in contrast to their presentation of the ideal “חכם” wiseman. Does proverbs envision disabled people in its ideal world of wisdom? That’s the question that I’m pursuing.

Any #academic want to talk about your current project? Reply and boost so we can learn from one another!

I’ll go first.

Currently I’m looking at the language in proverbs that typically gets mapped onto ethical categories of good (wise) and bad (foolish) behavior, and considering whether instead what we are reading in some cases is ancient descriptions of individuals with physical or even cognitive impairments. “A fool is a grief to his father and bitterness to she who bore him”

My #academic interests are the book of Proverbs, how religious literature can function to reinforce religious system, disability/gender, and Utopianism as a literary strategy.

Looking forward to shitposting with y’all 😂
