“…On another level, but one no less connected to their liminality, gazelles' graceful ness in flight has long inspired comparison to feminine beauty. Specifically, gazelles represent girls on the cusp of womanhood and their pursuit by bachelors-that is, boys on the cusp of manhood (Bürgel 1989;Behrens Abouseif 1997;Strandberg 2009: 187-94).…”

Endangered today, gazelles were both economically and symbolically important to the peoples of the ancient Near East. In various contexts, the gazelle has represented liminality, death, and rebirth. Gazelles held special significance in the southern Levant, where archaeologists have documented cases, spanning 20,000 years, of ritual behavior involving gazelle body parts. What roles did gazelles play during the Chalcolithic (ca. 4500-3600 b.c.), a period of both decreased hunting and ritual intensification? In this article, we discuss a unique find of burned gazelle feet at the site of Marj Rabba (northern Israel). The feet were found within a well-constructed building that was used for rituals and included two articulated human feet. The gazelle foot bones, the majority of which derive from adult male mountain gazelles (Gazella gazella), appear to reflect the remains of intentionally destroyed skins or severed limbs. This unique find highlights the evolving symbolic importance of gazelles, perhaps as forces of liminality, in Chalcolithic rituals.

“…La agresividad de la mirada iba dirigida al objeto observado, que se convertía en el sujeto pasivo de la situación. 5 Tanto los ojos del sujeto observador como los de la víctima escudriñada se convertían en señales y canales (Spearing, 1993, p. 8, nota 27) y las relaciones entre ambos quedaban vinculadas con cuestiones de poder e intimidad. La influencia de la poesía del deseo era perceptible en varios niveles textuales, tanto en textos hebreos como en textos románicos, como veremos en la selección de ejemplos.…”

Resumen: El concepto poético tradicional en el que se describe la fuerza y el poder de la mirada femenina desde una perspectiva masculina se convirtió en un eje principal de las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres en la Edad Media. En la poesía de la época donde nos encontramos con una voz femenina más potente o incluso con una inversión de la jerarquía social existente. Partiendo de una visión nueva del concepto de la interculturalidad medieval en la Península Ibérica pretendo trazar un camino poético que abarca cuatro siglos (X -XIV), destacando las influencias de la poesía trovadoresca como la poesía árabe de al-Ándalus en la literatura hebrea.Palabras claves: mirada, poesía hebrea y árabe del deseo, amor cortés, el cuerpo femenino, la Península Ibérica en la Baja Edad Media. GAZES: A CHRONOLOGY OF BODY AND SOUL REFLECTIONS IN A MULTICULTURAL DIALOGUE WITH HEBREW LITERATURE IN MEDIEVAL IBERIAN PENINSULAAbstract: The traditional poetic concept, according to which the power of female gaze is described from masculine perspective, became a central pillar in the relationship between men and women in the Middle Ages. Nonetheless, in its poetry we can find a more powerful female voice or even a complete reversal of the established social hierarchy and geneder roles. Based on a new vision of the concept of medieval interculturality in the Iberian Peninsula this article traces a poetic path which embraces four centuries (from the tenth to the fourteenth centuries), highlighting the influence of troubadour poetry and Arabic poetry of al-Ándalus on Hebrew literature.

“…19 Bürgel (1989) 1-11. 20 I am aware that a metre such as mutaqārib is used for heroic, romantic and mystical epics, but as de Bruijn (1994) 37 has rightly pointed out, the choice of a metre is "part of the formula for a nazīra, the 'emulation through imitation' of a great classic."…”
