| Descrizione: | This work aims to delve into discussions concerning the relationship between body and power within the early conflicts of Pauline Christianity. Ideals and ideological transmission, particularly pertaining to a somatic classification of power in the most urbanized cities of the Roman Empire in the 1st century, compelled Paul to employ a rhetoric of suffering in order to uphold his somatic (apostolic) legitimacy. Within the symbolism of Roman power, Paul does not embody the hegemonic stereotype of a divine emissary. In this context, the apostle introduces the discourse of the Crucified body, “bearing in the body the death of Jesus everywhere” (2 Cor 2:4). This serves as a response to accusations and ideological discourses that politically disdain bodies, diverging from the ideals of the Greco-Roman elite. |
