Thesis (DTh (Old and New Testament))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die rol wat mag en ideologie speel in die konkrete
interkulturele gespreksruimte wat tot stand kom as individue vanuit diverse kontekste
mekaar ontmoet rondom Bybeltekste. Die interkulturele gespreksruimte word
teoreties gefundeer vanuit die gesamentlike uitgangspunte van die Feminisme en 'n
Afrika-hermeneutiek. Die kommunale ruimte bied hiervolgens teoreties die ruimte
waarbinne individue vanuit diverse kontekste tot hulle reg kan kom in die kollektief.
In Hoofstuk 2 van hierdie studie word die hermeneutiese raamwerk waaruit die studie
sy vertrekpunte vind, omskryf wanneer die uitgangspunte van beide die Feminisme en
'n Afrika-hermeneutiek bespreek word. Die Feminisme beklemtoon die belang van die
kontekstuele stem van die individu en Afrika-hermeneutiek stel die kommunale
ruimte voor waarin die stemme tot hulle reg kan kom.
Die interkulturele gesprek wat in hierdie studie ondersoek word, vind plaas met 2
Samuel 13:1-22 as gespreksdokument. In Hoofstuk 3 word 'n multidimensionele
eksegetiese raamwerk beskryf wat gebruik word ten einde ‘n deurdagte interpretasie
van 2 Samuel 13:1-22 te bied. ‘n In-diepte lesing van die teks word gedoen, sowel as
ideologies(retories)-kritiese en leserrespons-kritiese analises. Ten slotte word in dié
hoofstuk verwys na die interpretasiegeskiedenis van die teks vanuit ‘n dominant
Westerse perspektief asook vanuit die Feminisme en ‘n Afrika-hermeneutiese
konteks.
Met die tweeledige hermeneutiese raamwerk as uitganspunt, en 2 Samuel 13:1-22 as
gespreksdokument, word die empiriese komponent van die studie dan in die volgende
hoofstukke beskryf. In die empiriese studie word die teoreties-geformuleerde
interkulturele ruimte dan ‘n konkrete realiteit as kultureel-diverse vroue mekaar
ontmoet in gesprek rondom die Tamar-verhaal van 2 Samuel 13. Die ontwerp van die
empiriese studie wat in Hoofstuk 5 bespreek word, word in die vorige hoofstuk,
Hoofstuk 4, gefundeer deur aandag te gee aan, onder andere, die omskrywing van
sleutelterme soos kultuur, ideologie en mag. Die kwalitatiewe data wat ingewin is
tydens die konkrete interkulturele gesprekke, word daarna geanaliseer en bespreek in
Hoofstuk 6. Al die data wat ingewin is tydens die studie word as Bylae tot die
proefskrif beskikbaar gestel in ‘n aparte meegaande bundel ten einde die lees-envergelyk-
proses te vergemaklik. Die gevolgtrekking van die studie, in Hoofstuk 7, bring al die diverse besprekings soos dit in die argument hanteer is, bymekaar en poog om ‘n sinvolle interpretasie te
bied van hoe mag en ideologie funksioneer in die interkulturele Bybelleesproses.
Die teoretiese interkulturele ruimte wat deur die Feminisme en 'n Afrikahermeneutiek
as oogmerk gestel word, word dus in die studie geproblematiseer deur
te vra na die funksionering van mag en ideologie in daardie ruimte. Vanuit 'n
kwalitatiewe analise van die data wat ingewin is tydens die empiriese komponent van
die studie, word dit duidelik dat die interkulturele ruimte ‘n besondere spasie bied
waarin individue tot hulle reg kom en waarin verandering gefasiliteer kan word. Dit
wil egter verder blyk dat hierdie ruimte nie sonder uitdaging is nie aangesien die
interkulturele ruimte nie die invloed van die magsdinamika vryspring nie. Daar is
bevind dat die interkulturele gespreksruimte ‘n besondere instrument is wat ingespan
kan word ten einde sosiale transformasie te fasiliteer, maar dit moet met groot
omsigtigheid hanteer word. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the role of power and ideology in a concrete intercultural
conversation space which is established when individuals from diverse contexts meet
one another to discuss Biblical texts. The intercultural conversation space is
theoretically based on the joint presuppositions of Feminism and an African
hermeneutics. The communal space provides a theoretical space in which individuals
from diverse contexts are given an opportunity to express themselves in the collective.
The hermenetical framework of the study is discussed in chapter 2 where the
fundamental presuppositions of both Feminism and African hermeunetics are
explored. Feminism emphasises the importance of the contextual voice of the
individual, whereas African hermeneutics highlights the communal space where
individual voices are given expression.
The intercultural conversation in this study is conducted with 2 Samuel 13:1-22 as
conversation document. Chapter 3 discusses a multidimensional exegetical framework
that is applied in order to offer a reflective interpretation of 2 Samuel 13:1-22. A close
reading of the text, as well as ideological (rhetorical) critical and reader response
critical analyses, are conducted. A reference to the interpretation history of the text
concludes this chapter. The dominant Western perspective is discussed and is
supplemented with Feminist and African hermeneutical readings of the text.
The empirical component of this study is discussed in the chapters that follow, based
on the two-tiered hermeunetical framework and 2 Samuel 13:1-22 as conversation
document. The theoretically formulated intercultural space becomes a concrete reality
as culturally diverse women meet one another to discuss the story of Tamar as found
in 2 Samuel 13. Chapter 5 explains the research design of the empirical study based
on key terms such as culture, ideology and power. These are illuminated in Chapter 4.
The data that is collected in the concrete intercultural conversation is then analised
qualitatively and in Chapter 6. The collected data is presented as a separate Appendix
to the dissertation in order to assist the reader in the read and compare process.
In the conclusion to this study, as presented in Chapter 7, all the diverse discussions
converge and an attempt is offered towards a reflective interpretation of how power
and ideology function in the intercultural Bible reading process.
