At the confluence of ethics, poetry, and politics, this groundbreaking book presents a series of notes aimed at decolonizing political theology. The author advocates for alternative modes of reading that dismantle dominance by embracing vulnerability. The book commences with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key, emphasizing prejudices that impede critical engagement with a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes endeavors to "de-orientalize the Semite" by engaging with midrashic and biblical texts within the contemporary context, the second aims to decolonize language by delving into the transformative power of translation, and the third explores decolonial theo-logics to propose a justice of the other. By interweaving a diverse range of fields, authors, and epistemologies, the book addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and brings together Jewish thought, continental philosophy, and Latin American perspectives. It engages with a multitude of thinkers, including Benjamin and Arendt, and features an interview with Enrique Dussel, as well as a foreword by Gil Anidjar. This constitutes a significant methodological proposal for interdisciplinary and intercultural political theology, making a valuable contribution to reimagining the paradigm of political theology beyond its Eurocentric and colonialist foundations.
