38362 There is great insight in HM´s remarks ~~~~~

DB:
However, since HM´s claim
that SCRIPTURA is unknown in Hebrew is exaggerated -
we do find, after all ¨KITHVEI HAQQODESH¨ {Holy Scripture} as a title for the Bible -
the relevant distinction seems to be nòt the designation of the Bible as the WRITING or the READING, but the fact that the word ¨reading¨ means, as well, the Bible. In other words,
the point is not to situate the text in Jewish culture in the metaphysics of the reading-writing opposition, but to situate reading in that culture in its sociocultural semantic field.
¨READING,¨ in ancient Jewish culture signifies an act which is oral, social, and collective,
while in modern (and early-modern) Europe it signifies an act
that belongs to a private or semiprivate social space.
By studying the structure
of the semantic affinities and fields of the Hebrew words for ¨reading,¨
I [DB] hope to show that they do not belong to the same lexical categorization of practices
that reading does in modern European culture. However, that alone would leave our investigation open
to the sort of theoretical questions posed by RMK:
´TO WHAT EXTENT ARE CONVENTIONAL METAPHORS, AND THE SCHEMAS THEY EXPRESS, CONSTITUTIVE OF OUR EXPERIENCE? DO VARYING SCHEMAS, WHETHER OF EMOTION,
TIME, CAUSALITY, SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS, AND SO ON, REFLECT CONTRASTING MODES OF SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE, OF THOUGHT & PERCEPTION - OR OF SIMPLY DIFFERENT CONVENTIONS FOR TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD, AS CREATURES
WITH OUR HUMAN BRAINS AND SENSORY EQUIPMENT
AND BODIES EXPERIENCE IT?
THERE IS NO SIMPLE ANSWER.´
In order, therefore, to corroborate the findings from this semantic enquiry,
DB will analyze biblical narrative texts that describe scenes of reading;
the descriptionsnof practice coincide with the semantics of the words involved.
THEN, DB will interpret some European scenes of reading, which through contrast
will point up how different ¨reading¨ is in the two cultural formations.
In his last section, DB will attempt to shed some light on an important
critical debate vis-à-vis biblical narrative
from the perspective developed
in his main
argument.
Kortom:
spannend myDi-
´gedoe´!
