  • Madalina Joubert is Professor of Jewish Studies at INALCO in Paris, France, where she taught since 2011 Bible, Rabbinic Literature and Ancient History. She conducts research applying historical anthropology questioning and method. Her last book, L'idée de nature chez les rabbins antiques. Eléments d'anthropologie historique, Peeters, 2024, analyses the idea of nature in rabbinic literature through the lens of Descola's ontological typology. Also, her recently published article, "Ritual Objects for the Feast of Sukkot: Theoretical Analysis of the Talmudic Prescriptions and Some of their Ethnographical Achievements in the Balkans", illustrates her new research project focusing on the ontology of objects in Judaism (https://balcanica.rs/index.php/journal/article/view/1384/1302).
