[Antiquitas] Antiikin yhdistysten tutkija Kloppenborg Suomessa

[Ismo Dunderberg]

Hei

pahoittelen että tämä tieto tulee näin lyhyellä varoitusajalla,  
mutta se voi silti kiinnostaa: varhaisen kristinuskon asiantuntija,  
professori John Kloppenborg (Toronton yliopisto) pitää tänään ja  
keskiviikkona vierailuluennot Helsingin Teologisessa tiedekunnassa.

Laajempaa kiinnostavuutta vierailulle antaa se, että Kloppenborgin  
tutkimus on viime vuosina keskittynyt antiikin vapaaehtoisiin  
yhdistyksiin. Hän on mm. toimittanut niitä koskevan epigrafisen  
lähdekokoelman, joka ilmestyy kesäkuussa 2011 (ks. http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/th/thMbwEn.cfm?rc=17956 
3), ja aiemmin samaan aihepiiriin liittyvän laajan artikkelikokoelman.

Alla tarkempi kuvaus Kloppenborgin esitelmistä:

"Disaffiliation in Associations and the ἀποσυναγωγός of  
John (9:22; 12:42; 16:2)"

Abstract
This paper tries to understand what might have been at stake for the  
synagogue from which the Johannine Jesus partisans had been expelled  
and what was at stake in the coinage of the term  
ἀποσυναγωγός. It we refuse to accept naively John’s  
overlexicalised and retrospective account of the grounds for  
expulsions and pay attention to the practices of other groups in  
articulating a disciplinary code, I suggest that what was at stake was  
deviant behaviour on the part of the Johannine Jesus-partisans: either  
failure to comply with the larger group’s practices concerning  
Sabbath observance, or more likely, clique formation.

"Memory, Performance and the Sayings of Jesus"

Abstract: Much has been made in recent years of the oral/aural context  
in which the early Jesus movement was born, as both a needed  
adjustment to earlier models for understanding early Jesus tradition  
based principally on models of literary transmission and often as a  
surreptitious means to insinuate the faithfulness of oral  
transmission. This paper begins by reviewing recent memory studies,  
both cognitive and anthropological, and then assesses the proposals of  
Kenneth Bailey and James D.G. Dunn of faithful oral transmission of  
Jesus materials. It concludes with a test case, Q 6:37, concluding  
that even in the case of the stable transmission of aphorisms, there  
is profound and significant transformation of meaning, due to the  
pressures exerted by the transmissional context.
