This network of allusions recurs in narrative frames to legitimize the events recounted as having actually taken place.

In this paper we undertake the analysis of the fourth Book, as this one does not include the “objective” locations alluded to in the other books. We believe, and will seek to demonstrate, that this omission is necessary insofar as it foregrounds a conflict around a dilemma, whose center is the City of Jerusalem, but whose resolution is accomplished forcibly in Antioch, the seat of the royal power. In this way, a central location in the Seleucid administration is relegated to the periphery so that Jerusalem can logically take its place in view of the absence of a clearly recognizable centrality. This categorial shift is due to the exemplum that is central in this book, whose evidently ethical-moral nature must have as background the only place in the world in which lessons of this kind are legitimately possible. Dentro de la producción historiográfica del pueblo de Israel, sobresalen un número de referencias que buscaron construir un escenario verosímil para los sucesos nodales del pasado. Así, este entramado de alusiones concentrará sus apariciones en los respectivos marcos narrativos, para que así sea posible legitimar que lo narrado ha acontecido efectivamente. Tal procedimiento se verá amplificado cuando lo que se despliega en la diégesis ha tenido lugar efectivamente en un pasado medianamente cercano. Éste será el caso particular del Ciclo de los Macabeos, que tendrá lugar en los momentos inmediatamente posteriores a la pretendida helenización forzada por parte del rey Antíoco IV. Será entonces nuestro interés en este trabajo abordar el análisis del cuarto elemento de este conjunto en tanto que en él no aparecerán todas estas marcas locativas “objetivas”. Creemos, e intentaremos demostrar, que este silencio es necesario en tanto que se pone en conflicto un dilema, cuyo centro es la ciudad de Jerusalén, resuelto mediante vías de coerción, representadas por la sede del poder real, i.e., Antioquía. De esta forma, un punto central en la administración seleucida deberá ser relegado a la periferia para que la colocación de Jerusalén en su lugar devenga un movimiento lógico ante la ausencia de una axialidad reconocible de forma clara. La finalidad última de este enroque categorial obedecerá al ejemplo que se pone en escena a lo largo del tratado, cuya evidente naturaleza ético-moral precisa tener de trasfondo al único sitio de la ecúmene donde lecciones de semejante cariz son legítimamente posibles.

In the historiographical production of the people of Israel, a number of references used to build a plausible setting for crucial past events stand out. This network of allusions recurs in narrative frames to legitimize the events recounted as having actually taken place. This procedure is especially adopted when the story being told actually happened in a relatively near past. This is the case of the Books of the Maccabees, which recount events taking place immediately after the attempted forced Hellenization of the people of Israel under king Antiochus IV. In this paper we undertake the analysis of the fourth Book, as this one does not include the “objective” locations alluded to in the other books. We believe, and will seek to demonstrate, that this omission is necessary insofar as it foregrounds a conflict around a dilemma, whose center is the City of Jerusalem, but whose resolution is accomplished forcibly in Antioch, the seat of the royal power. In this way, a central location in the Seleucid administration is relegated to the periphery so that Jerusalem can logically take its place in view of the absence of a clearly recognizable centrality. This categorial shift is due to the exemplum that is central in this book, whose evidently ethical-moral nature must have as background the only place in the world in which lessons of this kind are legitimately possible. |
