- W1543139675 abstract "In the tradition of Roland Barthes and Jean-Francois Lyotard, this study explores the notion of textual sexuality, specifically in Augustine’s sermon on Ps 127 [128]. The libidinality of the ancient near-eastern context of the psalm is discussed, with special emphasis on the virile male body and the fertile female body. There-after, Augustine’s prosopological exegesis of the psalm is discussed. He presents the text as an involucrum , which is in itself a sexually nuanced term. The involucrum must be voyeuristically undressed, penetrated and impregnated through meditation, which eventually leads to the mystical birth of “true” and “spiritual” meaning. In Augustine’s reading, Christ is now indicative of the beautiful and virile male, with the church as both fertile wife and progeny. The paper provides a glimpse into the “sex life” of a psalm by highlighting literary and textual libidinality, and presents it as a creative reading strategy for a post-modern society shaped by various sexualities. A LE PLAISIR DU TEXTE The plasticity of the term textual sexuality, or perhaps the erotics of textuality, as related to Augustine’s writings, has become all too evident in its Forschungsgeschichte, spanning more than four decades. To demonstrate, the first example I advance is that of Jean-Francois Lyotard’s reading of Augustine in his seminal (pun intended) masterpiece, Libidinal Economy ([1974] 1993). 1 Lyotard opens his first chapter with two readings of Augustine’s De Civitate Dei that illustrates the inherent tension between “play and madness, simulacrum and truth,” which Augustine desperately aims to uphold, but in fact fails. 2 Often the borders between “play and madness,” or text and pleasure, are blurred, and in Lyotard’s analysis, the fissures resulting from dichotomising these two poles become quite apparent. Lyotard’s study of Augustine’s Confessiones reached its climax in his full-length study of the work. 3 In this monumental opus, Lyotard contrasts and connects the sensual with the spiritual, between eroticism and mysticism, and critiques the very phenomeno" @default.
