A ‘Repertoire of Otherness’? Identities in early Iron Age Philistia
Maeir, Aren M.
2020
Abstract
Recent study of the Philistine culture of the Iron Age Southern Levant has enabled to suggest a much more
complex and multi-faceted understanding of the origins, composition and development of this fascinating culture,
first appearing in the transition between the Late Bronze and Iron Ages. In this paper, I discuss the entangled
identities that can be identified in Iron Age Philistia, and caution from previous, and in some cases, contemporary,
simplistic definitions and understanding of the identity matrix of the Philstines and their relations
with neighboring groups and cultures.
