| dc.description.abstract | In this article, I reflect on the violence of sacred texts towards the lesbian community, drawing on insights from Naomi Alderman’s novel Disobedience and the 2017 film of the same name directed by Sebastián Lelio. Alderman’s novel has a striking point of difference to the film, and this is the strangely affirming arrangement of each chapter around the Torah (Jewish sacred scripture) and the interpretive writings of the Jewish sages as the plot evolves. This positioning rests subtly on the wings of a particular kind of creative, resistant reading of the sacred text. It is a compilation and interpretation of sacred texts in such a way that their violence against women expressing same sex desire is neutralised and transformed. | en_NZ |
