When Mieke Bal reread the tale of Joseph and Potiphar’s spouse as an grownup, she was once struck by means of modifications among her adolescence stories of an ethical story and what she learn this day. In Loving Yusuf¸ Bal seeks to solve this conflict among reminiscence and textual content, utilizing an analogous tale, during which Joseph spurns the development of his master’s spouse who then falsely accuses him of rape, as her aspect of departure. She juxtaposes the Genesis story to the particularly varied model informed within the Qur’an and the depictions of it by means of Rembrandt and explores how Thomas Mann’s nice retelling in Joseph and His Brothers reworks those models. via this inquiry she develops thoughts for the research of texts which are either unusual and overly familiar—culturally distant but continuously retold. As she places own stories in discussion with scholarly exegesis, Bal asks how all of those varied types complicate her personal and others’ adventure of the tale, and the way the various truths of those texts of their respective traditions light up the method of canonization.

Sample text

See, my master knows not with me what [is] in the house and all that [is] onto him he gave into my hand. No one [is] greater in this house than me and not kept he back from me anything except you and you [are] his woman and how shall I do this great wickedness and sin against God? (8–9) The reason for my somewhat awkward translation is to bring to the fore the paratactic structure of sentences stringing together clauses connected through and. This structure leaves it to the reader to fill in logical connections.

Taken at face value, the phrase suggests three important ideas. First, it suggests seriously looking someone in the face, becoming aware of what someone looks like, and liking, feeling attracted to, what one sees. Instead of falling into endless moral misery, the expression simply states that looking takes this risk of attraction. Moreover, and second, the phrase implies that the sense of sight entails distance, but it may also solicit a touch that nullifies these distances. Hence, a look can generate adventures and narratives of adventures.

The biblical text of Genesis 39, the relevant passages of Thomas Mann’s novel from 1932, and the Qur’anic story of 12:24–35 mark the successive stages of my incorporation of the story I read, and therefore I cite them in that order. But this is only half the truth. Sometime before, during, and after these readings I saw depictions of the key scene of the story, of which a small etching by Rembrandt is the first I remember, while two of his paintings came a bit later. Numerous other paintings followed, but I prefer to limit myself to these three images.
