Keeping Women in Their Digital Place

The Maintenance of Jewish Gender Norms Online

Ruth Tsuria

“Tsuria artfully combines media, religious studies, and feminist theories with rich data and cogent methods. However, my favorite moments in her book are the personal ones. In her “Interludes” between the chapters, and also inside the chapters themselves, Tsuria makes space for herself, shedding a warm light on her findings remarkingly that at times brought tears to my eyes. Her work exemplifies a fine combination of sophisticated academic writing, excellent theoretical and empirical work, and reflexive abilities.”
—Rivka Neriya-Ben Shahar, Nashim

Remembering Jews in Maghrebi and Middle Eastern Media

Edited by Brahim El Guabli and Mostafa Hussein

“A landmark intervention, Remembering Jews illuminates how the complexities of the Jewish departure from Arab spaces can be creatively revisited from the perspective of their former Muslim neighbors. Unmuting the silence shrouding the absence, the volume animates cultural memory in order to enable alternative forms of scholarship. The compelling introduction and the stimulating essays transcend the academic boundaries separating Jewish studies from Arab/Middle Eastern studies, providing a generative framework for a vital engagement.”—Ella Habiba Shohat, author of On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements

Rhetoric and the Dead Sea Scrolls

Purity, Covenant, and Strategy at Qumran

Bruce McComiskey

“Bruce McComiskey is the first in rhetorical studies to conduct a systematic reading of seven Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts, examining how identification, distinction, persuasion, performative strategies, dissociation, and ideas about material rhetorics are present and enacted through these manuscripts. In doing so, he makes an important case for the rhetorical significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as the methodological utility of a hermeneutics/rhetoric approach for reading these texts.”—Jim Ridolfo, author of Digital Samaritans: Rhetorical Delivery and Engagement in the Digital Humanities
