Document Details : Title: Quand les femmes apparaissent sur des ânes Subtitle: De quelques ambassades féminines à Ougarit et dans la Bible hébraïque Author(s): LANOIR, Corinne Journal: Semitica Volume: 61 Date: 2019 Pages: 235-263 DOI: 10.2143/SE.61.0.3286693 Abstract : This article seeks to bring together a peripheral image present at Ugarit and in the Hebrew Bible, that of the woman on a donkey. What does the donkey represent in the Syrian-Palestinian culture, what happens when he becomes the mount of a woman? In common cultural memory, a woman on a donkey could carry the idea of a peaceful embassy but a risky initiative for the protagonist, which transgresses the standards of propriety. |
