Textual Mirrors: Reflexivity, Midrash, and the Rabbinic Self - Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion
Dina Stein
In Textual Mirrors, Dina Stein draws on literary theory, folklore studies, and semiotics to closely examine midrashic tales in which self-reflexivity operates as a central element. Within these texts, rabbinic discourse itself becomes the object of reflection, both complicating and confirming its religious and ideological principles.
