{"product_id":"aseneths-transformation-kirsten-marie-hartvigsen-9783110363371","title":"Aseneth's Transformation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of \u003cem\u003eJoseph and Aseneth\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating expansion of the narrative in Genesis of Joseph in Egypt, and in particular, of his marriage to the daughter of an Egyptian priest. This study examines the portrayal of Aseneth's transformation in the text, focusing on three perspectives. How did Aseneth's encounter with Joseph and her subsequent transformation affect various aspects of her identity in the narrative? In what ways do the portrayals of Aseneth, her transformation, and her abode relate to select metaphors and other symbolic features depicted in the Septuagint, the Hebrew Bible, and the Pseudepigrapha? And, how do the ritualized components through which Aseneth's transformation occurred function in the narrative, and why are they perceived as effective? In order to shed light on these facets of \u003cem\u003eJoseph and Aseneth\u003c\/em\u003e, the author draws on the contemporary approaches of intersectionality, conceptual blending, intertextual blending, and the cognitive theory of rituals, using these theoretical frameworks to explore and illuminate the complexity of Aseneth's transformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Marie Hartvigsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110363372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110363371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Kirsten Marie Hartvigsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136975581439,"sku":"9783110363371","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_638e9ef1-d387-490d-862f-8f66b0139e09.jpg?v=1770165711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aseneths-transformation-kirsten-marie-hartvigsen-9783110363371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
