Abstract
"En este ensayo no nos preocuparemos de estudiar los conflictos históricos entre Israel y los imperios, cuya memoria se conserva en los libros proféticos. Trabajaremos sobre el choque ideológico, sobre la construcción de una ‘contra-ideología’ de la resistencia que se consolidó, precisamente, cuando el imperio persa y, después, el griego aparecieron con pretensiones de unicidad, de universalidad y, por eso, de divinidad. El imaginario popular profético enfrenta el desafío, ya no más a través de oráculos cargados de denuncias y de invectivas, sino con la novela, con el teatro, con la narrativa alegórica: un lenguaje que, por su propio género, aparentemente sin pretensiones y a-histórico, acaba por convertirse en universal y abarcante de toda la historia, de todas las personas. Es el lenguaje más apropiado para el choque ideológico" "In this essay we won't study the historical conflicts among Israel and the empires whose memory is conserved in the prophetic books. We will work on the ideological crash, on the construction of a 'contra-ideology' of the resistance that consolidated, exactly, when the Persian empire and, later, the Greek empire appeared with pretensions of unicity, of universality and, for that reason, of divinity. The popular prophetic imaginary faces the challenge, no longer more through oracles loaded with accusations and of invectives, but with the novel, with the theater, with the allegorical narrative: a language that, for their own gender, supposedly without pretensions and a-historical, ends up to become universal that includes the whole history and all the people. It is the most appropriate language for the ideological crash"
