  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, W.W. Norton, 2009
  • Description

    In this expansive cultural biography of Judas, prominent scholar Susan Gubar explores the meaning of Jesus- betrayer over twenty centuries.Who was Judas Iscariot and why did he betray Jesus? Yet, because of gaps and incongruities in his appearance in the Bible, artists throughout the ages have returned to this man, whose treacherous act inaugurates Jesus’ death and resurrection.In this comprehensive, interdisciplinary work, Susan Gubar explains that a Jewish Judas was deployed to differentiate Judaism from emergent Christianity and that he therefore reflects ambivalence about a composite Judeo-Christianity as well as changing attitudes toward the body, blood, and money; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Critical Condition : Feminism At The Turn Of The Century

  • Critical Condition : Feminism At The Turn Of The Century
  • Attribution

    Susan Gubar
  • Publication Details

    Book, Columbia University Press, 2000
  • Description

    Gubar begins by considering the volatile impact of gender on recent redefinitions of race, sexuality, religion, and class proposed by four important groups in contemporary feminism: African-American performance and visual artists, lesbian creative writers, Jewish-American women, and newly institutionalized female academics. Gubar’s forays into art and activism, politics, and the profession provide a sometimes distressing, sometimes comical, sometimes optimistic view of feminism emerging from a time of contention into a lively period of pluralized perspectives and disciplines.
