The interpretive difficulties of Joshua 2 lead some scholars to conclude that ch. 2
is a textual interpolation. Additionally, close literary readings of Joshua 2 often
fail to explore adequately how ...Joshua 2 fits within the larger narrative. Close
attention to the poetics of Joshua 2 and its place in the structure of chs. 1-12
reveals three levels of theological critique within the text: Joshua 2 represents a
false start in Joshua’s overall successful career; it presents Rahab
positively, since she seeks covenantal inclusion into Israel; and the primary focus
is an extremely positive evaluation of God as a sovereign and gracious divine
warrior. Thus, ch. 2 fits into the larger context in that it affirms God’s
commitments from ch. 1, which are the foundation for the conquest described in the
subsequent narrative.
In the last decades of the twentieth century, French poststructuralist 'theory' transformed the humanities; it also met with resistance and today we frequently hear that theory is 'dead'. In this ...brilliantly argued volume, Colin Davis: *reconsiders key arguments for and against theory, identifying significant misreadings *reassesses the contribution of poststructuralist thought to the critical issues of knowledge, ethics, hope and identity *sheds new light on the work of Jean-François Lyotard, Emmanuel Levinas, Louis Althusser and Julia Kristeva in a stunning series of readings *offers a fresh perspective on recent debates around the death of theory. In closing he argues that theory may change, but it will not go away. After poststructuralism, then, comes the afterlife of poststructuralism. Wonderfully accessible, this is an account of the past and present fortunes of theory, suitable for anyone researching, teaching, or studying in the field. And yet it is much more than this. Colin Davis provides a way forward for the humanities - a way forward in which theory will play a crucial part.
"Davis reminds us that poststructuralism doesn't spell the death of philosophy or of Western civilization; rather, poststructuralism holds the door open to allow new questions to enter the unfinished project of modernity." -- David Bockoven, Postmodern Culture
