The Rabbis
also obviously stood
in a highly ambivalent position
vis-a-vis their version
of "Rome!"

As we have seen,
for them, being male represented a species of danger,
danger of being "seduced" into pursuing one of two prostitutes, heretical sectarianism
in the form of Christianity {which was becoming the dominant religion of the Empire
that struck the World} or collaboration
with Roman power.

Such collaboration
is explicitly marked as becoming leonine,
and "feminine" stealth is recommanded
as the antidote?

Another way
of saying this would be
to mark the gap between the explicit and implicit meanings
of the rabbinic text. On the explicit level, the text represents the purity of rabbinic culture, its efferts
to remain entirely different and other
from Christianity.

However,
at the same time,
via its use of the figure of the female virgin to symbolize its valorized male self
- the self that resists Christianization - it is indicating, at this distance at least,
the convergence of rabbinic culture with that of the Christians, or, perhaps better put,
their common cultural history an development.

In her habitation of "private" indoor spaces,
the talmudic virgin is the figure who is construed as most able to resist the "esexual" seductions
of both sectarianism and accomodation to Roman power.

To reprise:
It is behaving as a male with respect to the "female" blandishments of heresy or collaboration
that gets one into trouble.

Behaving
as a "female," then,
would get one
out of it.

Hoe

mydimensen blijven 'collagisten',
fanatieke verzamelaars, nieuwsgierige uitprobeerders,
arrangeurs van ditjes & ditjes, wat er maar in onze kraam van pas komt?
We zijn van voor onze geboorte af aan al bezig met het ordenen van atomen, bacteries, cellen &
't 'deformeren' van wat we tegenkomen in iets
dat mogelijk [nog] beter bruikbaar is
voor onze voorlopige doeleinden!
