This seminar aims to discuss the influence of contexts on literature based on the analysis of the contexts of the 1st-century Mediterranean culture, which are encoded in the texts of the New Testament. |
Pełny opis: |
During the course, students will learn about the primary determinants of the social culture of the 1st century Mediterranean. These elements will be recognized in selected NT texts. We will consider pivotal values, such as honour and shame, patronage and reciprocity and other social interactions, purity and pollution, institutions and social norms. It will be the basis for a discussion on the influence of cultural codes on literary texts and, therefore, forms of interpretation of a literary text in its original context. |
