Description
How
do
groups
of
people
engage
themselves
with a "
central
and
center-ing
"
text
? What
does
this
engagement
tell
us
about
how the
people
express
themselves
? How
do
dominant
groups
interpret
this
engagement
?
Seen
in the
refracting
mirror
of
contemporary
scholarly
discourse
, what
does
conventional
interpretation
of the
engagement
say
about
those
dominant
groups
doing
the
interpretation
? These
questions
can
perhaps
be
most
fruitfully
asked
of that
very
central
text
, the
Bible
.
Building
upon
his
long
time
work
on the
question
of
African-American
engagement
with
Christian
Scripture
,
Vincent
Wimbush
,
Professor
of
Religion
at
Claremont
Graduate
University
-
and a
scholar
of
Early
Christian
Asceticism
and
ideologies
and
forms
of
renunciation
of the
world
-
is
currently
exploring
how the
historical
and
psychological
implications
of a
relationship
between
a
people
and a
text
reflect
the
general
tensions
implicit
in "
expressive
culture.
" In
particular
, he
is
interested
in the
dual
nature
of
African-American
religious
tradition
: the
need
at
once
to "
rip
" or
resist
the "
symbolic
order
" of the
master
narrative
(a
narrative
that
protects
the
artificial
"
otherness
"
imposed
by the
powerful
on
African-Americans)
and the
need
to
weave
meaning
from the
parts
of the
ripped
veil
to
sustain
self-empowerment
and
healing
.
Interested
in the
phenomenological
and
political
uses
of
scriptures
in
societies
and
cultures
,
Professor
Wimbush
will also
look
at the
challenges
to
interpretation
brought
to the
fore
by
such
historical
and
literary
figures
as
DuBois
and
Morrison
.
