CARBULLANCA-NUNEZ, César. The emergence of suffering self. A study about lists and social structures in the Antiquity. Franciscanum [online]. 2017, vol.59, n.167, pp.247-275. ISSN 0120-1468.

This article adopt the perspective of de Sciences of religion for to show the existence of the literary genre of lists in Antiquity and Palestine during the post-exile, which were used to systematize and legitimize ideologically certain groups or interests religious-cultural. In Antiquity, there are lists of gods, angels, and kings. In this context, we find in late Judaism, upon the return from exile, other prophetic-eschatological lists in which marginal individuals are transformed into political persons. This show a revolutionary change in relation to the Greco-Roman secular context, that is, the emergence in prophetic-apocalyptic texts of lists of marginal subjects that begin to occupy a literary-social space.

Keywords : Religious studies; poor; marginalized; lists; eschatology.
