Keady\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJessica M. Keady uses insights from social science and gender theory to shed light on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the community at Qumran. Through her analysis Keady shows that it was not only women who could be viewed as an impure problem, but also that men shared these characteristics as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first framework adopted by Keady is masculinity studies, specifically Raewyn Connell's hegemonic masculinity, which Keady applies to the \u003ci\u003eRule of the Community\u003c\/i\u003e (in its 1QS form) and the \u003ci\u003eWar Scroll\u003c\/i\u003e (in its 1QM form), to demonstrate the vulnerable and uncontrollable aspects of ordinary male impurities. Secondly, the embodied and empowered aspects of impure women are revealed through an application of embodiment theories to selected passages from 4QD (4Q266 and 4Q272) and \u003ci\u003e4QTohorot A \u003c\/i\u003e(4Q274). Thirdly, sociological insights from Susie Scott's understanding of the everyday - through the mundane, the routine and the breaking of rules - reveal how impurity disrupts the constructions of daily life. Keady applies Scott's three conceptual features for understanding the everyday to the \u003ci\u003eTemple Scroll\u003c\/i\u003e (11QTa) and the \u003ci\u003eRule of the Congregation\u003c\/i\u003e (1QSa) to demonstrate the changing dynamics between ordinary impure males and impure females. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnderlying each of these three points is the premise that gender and purity in the Dead Sea Scrolls communities are performative, dynamic and constantly changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica M.
