“…Edward Said (1935Said ( -2003, a Palestinian educated in Cairo and the United States, attacked the colonial construction of the 'Orient' and its continuing impact on the postcolonial context of the Middle East (see Said 1978;1993). While these postcolonial analyses critiqued the effects of Western capitalist empires, particularly the British Commonwealth, the theories and methods of postcolonial critiques quickly crossed disciplinary barriers and now range from Medieval (Ingham and Warren 2003;Cohen 2000) and ancient Greek studies (Bradley and Wilson 2006;Hurst and Owen 2005;Malkin 2004) to studies of colonial literature and research into colonial archives. As in these other fields, which are only beginning to implement postcolonial analyses, biblical scholars have also recently incorporated postcolonial theoretical concepts into their work (see the discussions in Sugirtharajah 2001;Segovia 2005;Moore 2005; Liew 2005).…”

Biblical scholars incorporating postcolonial theory focus on three major areas: how colonial empires interpreted the Hebrew Bible and how indigenous populations reacted to the colonial interpretations, interpretations from previously colonized populations, and the role of empires and reactions to them in the composition of the texts of the Hebrew Bible.

“…Puis, en s'appuyant sur la pensée de Bhabha, qui propose de considérer sous cet angle d'autres périodes, notamment celles taxées de « primitives » comme peut l'avoir été le Moyen Âge, elles établissent qu'il existe bien des rapports à explorer entre l'altérité du Moyen Âge et l'universalisme colonial. En effet, il reste encore à étudier les formes de colonialisme prémodernes qui posent elles aussi des questions postcoloniales21 . Dans leur introduction, Ingham et Warren apportent des réponses pertinentes aux inquiétudes soulevées par Spiegel sur les questions de l'anachronisme et de la marginalité des études médiévales 8.…”
