Abstract

This article examines the misogyny of the Davidic court through the lens of philosopher Kate Manne’s recent study Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, which illustrates how the individual deeds or words perceived as misogynistic fit into a well-ordered system. In particular, it analyzes how Michal is treated differently by Saul and David in 1 Samuel 19 and 2 Samuel 6 compared to other male characters, such as Jonathan. Within a patriarchal society, misogyny is the policing arm which differentiates between good women and bad women, or those who conform to the gendered norms and expectations of the patriarchy and those who do not. When a woman, like Michal, fails to uphold her role supporting the elite men in her life, the men must swiftly respond not only to ameliorate her threatening position, but also to warn other women, both inside and outside the text, against similar behavior.

传授者米迦勒与接受者米迦勒：大卫宫廷的系统性误读

本文通过哲学家Kate Manne最近的研究《Down Girl:the Logic of misogyny》来审视大卫王朝宫廷的厌女症，该研究阐述了被视为厌女症的个人行为或言语如何融入一个有序的体系。特别是，它分析了扫罗和大卫在《撒母耳记》第1章第19节和第2章第6节中对米甲的不同对待，与其他男性角色（如约拿单）相比。在父权制社会中，厌女症是区分好女人和坏女人的警察部门，或者区分那些符合父权制性别规范和期望的人和那些不符合父权制的人。当像迈克尔这样的女性未能在生活中维护自己支持精英男性的角色时，男性必须迅速做出回应，不仅要改善她的威胁地位，还要警告文本内外的其他女性不要有类似的行为。

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
