“…At times, these would focus on parental relationships (Fleishman, 2011), argue the value of children through those relationships (Stiebert, 2013), and also explore parent-child relationships as metaphors in the Hebrew Bible (Dille, 2004). Further, the field of children in the Hebrew Bible also owes much to the study of women in the Hebrew Bible (Bronner, 2004;Chapman, 2016;Ebeling, 2010;Marsman, 2003;Meyers, 1998;Meyers, 2013;Stol, 2016). Children in the Hebrew Bible will continue to rely on and interact with these fields, be influenced by them, attempt to carve out unique space in relation to them, and FLYNN 3 of 11 perhaps contribute to them as well.…”

The field/topic of children in the Hebrew Bible has received growing attention in the past few years. Just the amount of monograph length studies in this short period of time shows the developing interest. This brief essay explores some origins and backgrounds of how the topic emerged, proposes its two major current forms, discusses some current debates in the field, and then extracts interpretive fruits from this field that might benefit Hebrew Bible studies in general and perhaps even inform some related disciplines. It also suggests some ways the field may move forward and what to watch out for from this field in the coming years. Given the amount done on this topic in recent years, the essay primarily focuses on monograph length studies but informs readers of annotated bibliographies that contain relevant articles.

“…According to Martin Stol (2016), in the Old Akkadian period, ''from the queen down to ordinary citizenry, women, whether married or unmarried, Sumerian or Akkadian, were free to participate in public life on a par with men'' (p. 383). And because the conducting of business was dependent on the use of writing, woman in ancient Mesopotamia worked with scribes to craft business letters, contracts, and receipts, which they then sealed with their personal cylinder seals, as in this example from a tablet recovered from Tell Rimah.…”

“…In the Ur III period, a doctor has a female name. The names of two women doctors were found at the court of Mari, and an Old Babylonian list references a woman doctor and a woman midwife (Stol, 2016, p. 371). We also have textual evidence of wet-nurses, such as the owner of the seal in Figure 1.…”

Finding Our Missing Pieces—Women Technical Writers in Ancient Mesopotamia

Contrary to current scholarship in technical communication, which places the first women technical writers in the period of 1641-1700 AD, the first technical documents were written by women in 2400 BCE-eight centuries earlier. Enheduanna-the first woman writer and the first nonanonymous author ever identified-wrote many of the period's great poems, including A Hymn to Inanna. Her work calls into question our discipline's belief that persuasive writing began with Homer and was conceptualized largely by men. This fact has the potential to completely revise the history of both technical and persuasive writing, and women's role in that history.

“…As mulheres não se tornaram apenas "objetos de estudo"; elas também ganharam notoriedade nas universidades e nas várias instituições de ensino e pesquisa do mundo. Essas mudanças são o resultado de um longo (e inacabado) processo de luta pela igualdade entre homens e mulheres (BAHRANI, 2001;ASHER-GREVE, 2013;LION;MICHEL, 2016;STOL, 2016;entre outros).…”

Nudez E Erotismo Na Antiga Mesopotâmia

O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre imagens de corpos nus (femininos e masculinos), criadas há mais de 4.000 anos, na antiga Mesopotâmia. Inicialmente discutimos a noção da representação visual no mundo mesopotâmico, uma vez que se acreditava no poder dos significantes e de seu status como parte integrante do real. O conceito de mimesis, isto é, de representação como um meio de imitar as coisas reais no mundo, não é suficiente para entender a arte da antiguidade oriental. Partimos dos fundamentos da escrita cuneiforme, definida como simbólica por ser o significante interpretado como recordando o significado direto, no qual cada signo, por ter um valor pictográfico e fonético ao mesmo tempo, tem o potencial de evocar outros referentes. Nas artes visuais da antiga mesopotâmia, o corpo é o lugar onde o gênero é visualmente diferenciado. Homens e mulheres vestidos ou nus, crianças, pessoas andróginas, eunucos e hermafroditas foram representados, mas o modelo mais importante da diferenciação de gênero foi a representação do corpo sem roupa. A nudez é um motivo comum que aparece em inúmeras formas de representação, e a descrição dos aspectos eróticos da nudez dos corpos é comum em vários gêneros literários. A maioria desses objetos, confeccionadas em relevos de placas de argila ou figuras em terracota, de pequenas dimensões, foram criados na Babilônia no II milênio AEC e continuaram sendo produzidos, sem interrupção, até o século VII EC, na época sassânida. O principal objetivo dessas imagens, cuja frontalidade do corpo e a gestualidade apontam para um retrato explícito da genitália e dos seios, seria mostrar seus atributos sexuais, dando ênfase ao olhar do espectador. A nudez frontal feminina estava associada à conduta sexual; já o corpo masculino despido possuía inúmeros significados, às vezes negativo, como a morte e a derrota, às vezes positivo, como a força viril do herói. Nesta contribuição, pretendemos construir uma chave de leitura para essas imagens de nus e questionar se poderíamos considerá-las como representações do desejo sexual daquela sociedade.
