What reading level is Carnal Isræl: Reading Sex in Talmudic Culture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The assumption that I make is that the very assignment of a story or a halakhic view to a named Rabbi, whether or not this assignment is "historically'' true, is of semiotic significance and can be interpreted as part of the history of rabbinic discourse.27 This is not to contest the possibility that there is a kernel of "historical truth'' in some or even all of the stories, only to argue that this kernel is insignificant compared to the amount of history of discursive practice that can be writ...ten using these materials. Thus, for instance, in Chapter 5, I shall be studying in detail a romantic and clearly fictional story of the marriage of Rabbi Akiva. The story will be interpreted here as having very little to do with the life and times of Rabbi Akiva himself in second-century Palestine and a great deal with Babylonian Jewish marriage and sexual practices in the fourth and fifth centuries. Nevertheless, the question of why the story is told about Rabbi Akiva is highly significant and is interpreted here.28 Similarly, the complex of texts that represent Rabbi Eliezer as variously ascetic and "misogynist" are also significant in the production of a type of rabbinic religiosity, whether or not the attributions are "authentic."29 Rabbinic Culture as Colonized Culture Jewish culture in Roman Palestine was a colonized culture.
