Jesus och politiken
- 2024
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med projektet är att granska och att reflektera kring Jesu politiska aktörsskap i relation till nutida samtidsdiskussioner. Som en teoretisk utgångspunkt för att möta den frågan kommer Jesus liv och lära att diskuteras genom att relatera hans politiska verksamhet till begreppen aktivism, revolution, populism, och anarki. Syftet är inte att erbjuda en anakronistisk läsning av Jesus liv och lära, i tron att någondera av dessa politiska praktiker enkelt låter sig tillämpas på den politiska kontext som Jesus fungerade i. Inte heller är det i tron att de erbjuder någon definitiv tolkning av Jesu politiska verksamhet. Syftet är snarare att bruka nutida politiska teoretiska begrepp för att tolka Jesu politiska verksamhet, med förhoppningen att denna association ska underlätta arbetet med att nyttja Jesu liv och lära som en resurs för att föreställa det allmänna goda och tackla nutida utmaningar. Orsaken till varför just aktivism, revolution, populism och anarkism valts som en teoretisk-begreppslig grund, är för att vardera av dessa politiska praktiker försöker få till stånd en förändring av något slag, dock utifrån olika logiska förutsättningar och på olika sätt. Trots att man kan tolka Jesu politiska aktörsskap på olika sätt, är det däremot mer eller mindre uppenbart att han försökte få till stånd en förändring i den rådande samhällsordningen. Utifrån denna insikt har framför allt kristna genom tiderna inspirerats av Jesus för att förverkliga den vision om det goda som hans liv och lära innehåller, samt utvecklat en kritik av de aktörer som motarbetar denna vision.

A synchronic approach to the Serek ha-Yahad (1QS) : from text to social and cultural context
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate the social and cultural contexts of 1QS (Serek ha-Yahad) by means of a textual study. The analysis of the text is performed in a synchronic perspective. This means that lexical choices, grammatical forms, references, topics, themes, and intertextuality are analyzed text-internally. By doing so, this study sheds new light on old questions of textual cohesion and coherence, questions that until now have been dealt with mostly from a diachronic perspective. The text analysis entails investigation in view of three interrelated dimensions of language function: ideational, interpersonal, and textual. These imply language as transmitting information, creating and sustaining relations, and functioning to organize itself into cohesive units. Although applying some of the terminology from the field of text linguistics (SFL), the focus in this study is on what a text means rather than why. This means that the semantic-pragmatic aspects of language are of foremost interest here. The analysis is performed from bottom and up, then from top down again. Words, phrases, and sentences are investigated up to the broadest linguistic level, namely, to the semantic discourse itself. With an understanding of the larger discourse at hand thanks to this analysis of textual cohesion and coherence, textual details are once again revisited and interpreted anew. In this work, 1QS is analyzed from beginning to end—chronologically, so to say. Then, at the end of each major section, the discourse is analyzed overall. Following the text analysis, conclusions of the investigations are presented. The conclusions argue that the hierarchal structure of the community and its stringent regulations are to be understood as a corrective in response to corrupt society. It is also argued that language in 1QS has a performative function. Rather than describing the way things are, it aspires to evoke the ideal society. Instead of understanding 1QS and the community mirrored in it as a deviant group with little or no contact with the surrounding world, it is then understood as a potent contribution to late Second Temple Jewish discourse concerning how to create a just society and a sanctifying cultic practice. In the final chapter, the insights gained from textual analysis of 1QS are brought into encounter with the theoretical framework posited by French historian and philosopher René Girard (1923–2015). In light of Girard’s philosophy, the hierarchal organization of the community (the Yahad) as well as its regulations can be interpreted as an effort to prevent a mimetic crisis. The function of the scapegoat in 1QS is discussed in light of Girard’s grand theory of the mechanisms of scapegoating in all societies. The study closes with the tentative hypothesis that the community in 1QS deconstructs the scapegoating mechanism by taking the role of the scapegoat upon itself.

Esters svar till Mordokaj: Bibel och retorik i Angelina Grimkés pamflett mot slaveriet.

- 1836 skrev Angelina Grimké pamfletten An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South, en moralisk väckarklocka för sydstatskvinnor att förenas i kampen mot slaveriet. Pamfletten, vilken följdes av systern Sarah Grimkés, An Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States samma år, väckte starka reaktioner i systrarnas hemtrakter och ansträngde relationerna mellan systrarna och kväkarförbundet till vilka systrarna hade anslutit sig. I pamfletten talar Angelina Grimké som en auktoritet i sin tid och visar på sin djupa förtrogenhet med bibeltexterna och kreativitet som exeget i abolitionismens och den tidiga kvinnorörelsens tjänst. Genom att låta sin text anta epistelns form och även använda sig av direkta citat ur Paulus brev gör hon anspråk på en auktoritet högre än präster och pastorer i sin tid, som en uttolkare av historien och en profet som visar vägen framåt. Bibelcitaten, vilka många är hämtade ur Gamla testamentet, visar på hennes originalitet som exeget och retoriker. I artikeln analyseras såväl retorik som bibelanvändning.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A common theme in the novel Lila and the Hebrew bible is the social, theological, and ethical dynamics of a nomadic vs. settled form of life. In the article, I bring the literary figure and texts of Ezekiel into an encounter with the novel’s protagonist Lila, and demonstrate how her encounter with his strange and often bizarre visions and metaphors enables her to transform her life and finally experience a homecoming. In the conversations of Lila and Ames, biblical quotations play a prominent role. It is argued, that there is a thematic link between the historical and ideological contexts of the biblical quotes and the way they are used in the novel. In the Hebrew bible, as well as in Lila, the chosen texts express the theologies and ethics of the powerful and the dis-empowered, the landowners and the landless, the insider and the outcast.

Serek ha-Yaḥad (1QS) in Dialogue with Mimetic Theory: Scapegoat Mechanisms Unveiled
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What holds a society together, what makes it dissolve, and how is a society in crisis restored? These are the questions explored in this study, which brings the Serek ha-Yahad (IQS) into dialogue with mimetic theory. It thus aims to shed light on the forms of life and thought in the yahad, as well as on their underlying reason and purpose. From the analysis emerges an image of a community that not only has a strong awareness of the mechanisms of violence, but also of its cure. Its hierarchical organization and strict regulations are motivated by a perceived dissolution of contemporary society. By subordinating personal desire to community discipline and by establishing a system of differentiation, the yahad seeks to provide a model of how a society ought to be functioning.

The Community as the New Axis Mundi: The Stone Imagery of Isaiah 28:16 and its Reception in 1QS and 1QHa.

- Isaiah’s prophecy of stones, in which God has laid in Zion “a stone, a tested stone, a valuable cornerstone for a foundation, a foundation for the one who trusts that will not shake” (28:16) is an important intertext in the sectarian compositions from Qumran. It is alluded to in the Hodayot (1QHa) and the Serekh ha-Yahad (1QS), in all instances it is directly associated with the (council of the) community. As a general trend in Qumran scholarship, these allusions—especially in 1QS VIII, 7–8—are understood metaphorically, as speaking of the community in terms of a temple. In this essay, the stone imagery in 1QS and 1QHa will instead be treated as symbol namely, the symbol of axis mundi / omphalos. In Paul Ricœur’s definition, metaphor is superstructure, working on the level of the sentence whereas symbol is infrastructure, working on the level of the narrative. The symbol connects the narrative in the text with a narrative that is larger than life. A symbolic reading of Isa 28:16 in the Scrolls displays the community as involved in the larger narrative of God’s salvific activities. When the community claim that they are the foundation stone, a massive stone/wall, the corner stone, it is to say that God has now chosen them as a locus for his activities and presence. They are a religiopolitical centre (axis mundi) aiming for societal change, with a council capable of advising both kings and priests. In reversed light of the reception of Isa 28:16 in the Scrolls and rabbinic literature, it is argued that the figure of speech in the source text in Isaiah 28:16 is an early witness of the representation of Jerusalem and Zion as the axis mundi.
