Mimi Levy Lipis

Symbolic Houses in Judaism (eBook, ePUB)

How Objects and Metaphors Construct Hybrid Places of Belonging

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This investigation of Jewish spatial practices explores two groups of house symbols: ritual objects that are based on the iconology of the house, and metaphors that use the term in an ascriptive manner. The connections between architecture and gender, cultural, and Jewish studies, reveal insights into how space affects the production, maintenance and transformation of identity, as well as social interactions, gender constructions and concepts of belonging.
