This thesis argues for a politically and socially subversive reading of Ecclesiastes. Eating, drinking, and enjoyment represent communal practices that counteract the social fragmentation of living under hegemonic bureaucracy. Central to this argument is a fresh understanding of Qoheleth that is developed out of the sage's own socio-historical context as illustrated by his use of bureaucratically and economically evocative language. Qoheleth's commendations function to re-orient the reader toward simple practices that contrast imperial values. Using rhetorical-critical and literary-critical approaches, especially the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, this thesis constructs a politically subversive lens by which to interpret Ecclesiastes.
