| Summary: | 4207 In the first part, the paper briefly analyzes the linguistic root of anti-Semitism and shows how Jews were regarded as the"inside other" by Christianity and Islam. For this reason, they have been marginalized, persecuted, deprived of their culture, forced into a state of abjection. In the second part, we consider a group of texts by the Church Fathers from which 17 recurring semiotic figures of this condition are extracted. These figures or motifs are studied as simple elements of a constant narrative structure (the history of salvation), in which Jews occupy the place of antisubjects or adversaries. Finally, the blood libel that accuses Jews of killing Christian children is considered and three cases are briefly analyzed. |
