Накратко на български

Жестовете и стойката на тялото в еврейската Библия, като например движението към друг човек, се анализират чрез езика и антропологията. Това помага да се разберат социалните йерархии, идентичността на групите и начина на общуване в библейския свят.

Posture and bodily movements in the Bible and biblical religions

POSTURE investigates the theme of bodily attitudes, postures and movements within one of the most important pieces of cultural heritage, i.e., the Hebrew Bible. Furthermore, it explores the interpretation, transmission and transformation of this theme within cultural products (ancient biblical translations and subsequent exegetical traditions) that, either directly or indirectly, depend on the Bible. POSTURE intersects two scientific fields, i.e., the semantics of Biblical Hebrew/Aramaic (BH/BA) and the anthropology of the biblical world and related contexts. From a linguistic point of view, verbs of posture and motion show several interesting idiomatic and metaphorical usages, being used to express also abstract concepts and grammatical aspects. From a socio-anthropological point of view, posture and body language can express real or assumed power relationships and hierarchies. They can serve as “externalizers” of status, gender, age, and physical weakness. Self-positioning and patterns of movement serve to establish, express, and maintain group identity. Moving towards a person is also a special kind of social act, indicating the desire to interact or to obtain something (e.g., information, protection, friendship, help), while maintaining a distance may indicate hostility, self-protection, respect, or dominance over others. Specific body movements are associated with honourable behaviour toward an elder or an authority, whereas intentional transgressions of official etiquette are sign of open contrast and provocation. The combination of semantic and anthropological investigations represents the innovation of POSTURE: exploring the semantics of posture and motion verbs in the Hebrew Bible from the social, anthropological and interactional perspectives will allow to rethink the idea of body in this context. Furthermore, the study of the reception of biblical “postures” in different cultural products (translations and exegetical traditions) will shed light on historical and intercultural processes in Antiquity and Late Antiquity.

Цел на проекта

Postures and movements are relevant for both a linguistic and a socio-anthropological investigation. From a cross-linguistic perspective, verbs of posture and motion show several interesting idiomatic and metaphorical usages, and can be employed to express abstract concepts (e.g., psychological states) and grammatical aspects (e.g., urgency or gradual progression of an action). From a socio-anthropological perspective, posture and body language can express real or assumed power relationships and hierarchies, and serve as “externalizers” of status, gender, age, and physical weakness. They establish, express, and maintain group identity; and they indicate friendship and respect or, on the contrary, hostility and self-protection. POSTURE investigates the theme of bodily attitudes, postures and movements within one of the most important pieces of cultural heritage, the Old Testament (OT). Furthermore, it also investigates the reception of Biblical postures and motions within cultural and intellectual products that depend on the OT, either directly or indirectly, i.e., ancient translations (Aramaic, Syriac, Greek and Latin) and Late Antique Jewish and Christian exegesis (1st-3rd c. CE).Descriptions of bodily postures and motions are very recurrent in the OT, both literally and metaphorically. However, as of today, not enough attention has been paid to this topic. Combining the semantic analysis of posture and motion verbs with their anthropological and social implications will allow to gain new knowledge about the idea of body in the OT. Moreover, the analysis of reception in early exegetical Jewish and Christian contexts will shed some light on the development of the meaning of body and bodily attitudes, through centuries of translations and theological interpretations, from ancient times to present days.
