Permanentny Exodus
A Permanent Exodus

Summary/Abstract: Agata Bielik-Robson wrote that the myth of the Exodus is becoming the most important myth of our culture and a figure of mass departure towering above all its counterparts. Upon what sort of a base does this migration take place? Is the Biblical text contained in The Book of Exodus still topical? When does migration start and end? By deploying the legendary figure of the Wandering Jew condemned to eternal roaming and a permanent existence on the road, the text spans from the Biblical Eden, the leading of the Jews into the desert, and the mediaeval Aggadah all the way to present-day Israel so as to present the essence of the category of mobility and the nomadic quality contained in Biblical symbols of the Egyptian enslavement.
