Abstract

This study is on the figure אשה זדה and נכד׳ה, also commonly called the 'Strange Woman' in Proverbs 1-9. It is an attempt to understand the meaning which defines her, and the origin and development of her motif. The first part argues against defining her as a sexual predator, but as an ethnic foreigner according to the lexical studies of זד and נכד. It traces her origin within the Hebrew scripture, the legal documents and especially to the DtrH's portrayal of foreign women/wives. Hence, it distinguishes the two motifs: the motif of the adulteress and the motif of the foreign woman; the latter, which symbolizes the temptation to apostasy. The study will then go on to explain how the writer of Proverbs 1-9 employs this motif of the foreign woman in his poetic composition. The second part tracks the development of this motif through the subsequent Jewish Wisdom literature and observes how it changes and loses the 'foreignness' of her original motif in Eccl. 7:26; 4Q184; LXX Proverbs; Hebrew Ben Sira; Greek Ben Sira; and finally disappears in Wisdom of Solomon. It proffers to understand this gradual transformation against a background of social and religious change.

Abstract

Gerald Neuman discusses in historical and contemporary terms the repeated efforts of U.S. insiders to claim the Constitution as their exclusive property and to deny constitutional rights to aliens and immigrants--and even citizens if they are outside the nation's borders. Tracing such efforts from the debates over the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 to present-day controversies about illegal aliens and their children, the author argues that no human being subject to the governance of the United States should be a "stranger to the Constitution. "Thus, whenever the government asserts its power to impose obligations on individuals, it brings them within the constitutional system and should afford them constitutional rights. In Neuman's view, this mutuality of obligation is the most persuasive approach to extending constitutional rights extraterritorially to all U.S. citizens and to those aliens on whom the United States seeks to impose legal responsibilities. Examining both mutuality and more flexible theories, Neuman defends some constitutional constraints on immigration and deportation policies and argues that the political rights of aliens need not exclude suffrage. Finally, in regard to whether children born in the United States to illegally present alien parents should be U.S. citizens, he concludes that the Constitution's traditional shield against the emergence of a hereditary caste of "illegals" should be vigilantly preserved.

Abstract

Ils sont aujourd'hui des millions de personnes à errer de par le monde à la recherche d'une vie meilleure. Dépourvus d'identité officielle, ces émigrés clandestins dérangent le droit, la législation nationale, les conventions internationales, la nation et les autres immigrés depuis longtemps installés dans leur pays d'adoption. Smaïn Laacher a réalisé un travail d'enquête de plusieurs années auprès d'émigrés sur le départ au Yémen, au Pakistan, au Maroc, en Afghanistan, en Algérie, en Tunisie, et auprès de candidats à l'émigration en Angleterre, en Italie, en Grèce, en Turquie, en France. Partir de chez soi ne va jamais sans la conviction d'un retour au foyer. Se pose alors une question essentielle et encore très peu explorée : comment demeurer, à ses yeux et aux yeux des autres, une personne quand l'univers de l'étranger est régi par des normes d'exception et l'absence de droits ? Les portraits, les récits et les expériences qui nourrissent ce livre donnent une vision inédite des clandestins. Ces parias, en nous prêtant leurs yeux et leurs mots, nous font ainsi découvrir ce qui peut les fasciner dans nos pays.
