Abstract

This research project consists of understanding the relationship between collective trauma, memory and narrative constructions in the period of reconstruction of the city of Jerusalem in the Persian-Achaemenid period after its destruction by the Neo-Babylonian Empire at the end of the 6th century BC. It is intended to demonstrate that the reconstruction of the city is a memory phenomenon managed by a narrative and material apparatus that are entangled in historical relations of power and identity during the Judaite resettlement in the 5th and 4th century BC
