Abstract

In Jesus, Joseph and Job Hartman introduces three texts, written by contemporary Lebanese women authors who re-write the history of religious characters, and discusses these texts with respect to their subversive potential for societal change. In her analysis, Hartman does not only use intertextuality, but also gender-informed and post-colonial approaches such as, métissage and border spaces.
