Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/4 (june 2011) . - pp. 387-397. Titre : Exploring the Sense-scape of the Gospel of Mark Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Louise J. Lawrence, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 387-397. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article attempts to address a certain lack of interest in the senses in New Testament studies by conducting a sensory survey of the Gospel of Mark. Informed by cross-cultural anthropology of the senses, the Gospel of Mark is revealed as an audio-centric text in which hearing is the pre-eminent sense and deafness the gravest sensory impairment. Mark’s ambivalence surrounding the faculty of sight is viewed as a resistance to the pre-eminence of the visual within imperial propaganda.

Structure, Agency and Ideology / Louise J. Lawrence in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 29.3 (march 2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 29.3 (march 2007) . - pp. 277-286. Titre : Structure, Agency and Ideology : A Response to Zeba Crook Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Louise J. Lawrence, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 277-286. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Agency structure ideology models Résumé : Responding to Zeba Crook’s essay on ‘structure’ and ‘agency’, and his critical remarks on my Ethnography of the Gospel of Matthew, this article first addresses Crook’s criticisms of my work, arguing that it is not rightly characterized as an ‘all agency’ approach. It then discusses Crook’s own proposals concerning the different ratios of agency and structure in different cultures. My response argues that all cultures involve agency, and all cultures involve agents acting in structured ways, and that a better focus might be on the importance of hierarchy, power and ideology within social structures, since the ability of individuals to exercise transformative agency depends on their position. Literature, as I argued in my Ethnography, provides a significant way in which the marginal or weak can exercise a form of agency, as is the case within Matthew’s specifically constructed literary world.
