Summary:Symbolic Violence -- Mocking Babylonians -- Going West -- Hosting Babylonians -- The Appointment of Babylonians -- "He is one of them!": Showing the Other His Place -- Going West but Remaining at Home -- Going East -- Epilogue: Going Back and Forth
"This new book by Reuven Kiperwasser examines the social, cultural, and religious aspects of third- to sixth-century narratives involving rabbinic figures migrating between Babylonia and Palestine. Kiperwasser draws on migration and mobility studies, comparative literature, humor and satire studies, as well as social history to reveal how border-crossing rabbis were seen as exporting features of their previous eastern context into their new western homes and vice versa. Through their writing, rabbinic authors articulated the nature and legitimacy of their own scholastic practices, knowledge, and authority in relationship to their internal others."--
