And it was not until the publication of +especially (pollock 1989) that the syntax of negation became a topic of serious research within +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +63 +the Principles and Parameters framework; this renewed interest is still evident in the Minimalist +Program, the most recent development within the Principles and Parameters model. 2 As far as +negation in Afrikaans is concerned, (Waher 1978) still represents the only detailed description +within the broad generative approach.3 +It is not the aim of this paper to give an overview of the various proposals in the literature +regarding the description of sentential negation. Also, no attempt will be made to give either a +detailed description of sentential negation in Afrikaans or a comparative analysis of this +phenomenon in Afrikaans and any other language. The aim of the paper is much more modest: +it will examine the possibilities which the Minimalist Program presents for the syntactic +description of the final nie in Afrikaans negative sentences, and more specifically subject initial +clauses like those in (I) and (2). The discussion will focus on two general questions: (a) what +is the categorial status of the final nie, and (b) where and how is it generated in sentence +structure? The rest of the paper is organised as follows. By way of background, section 2 gives +a brief overview of some of the relevant assumptions and mechanisms of the Minimalist +Program. In section 3 various possible descriptions of the final nie are critically examined, after +which an analysis is outlined which appears not only to express the relevant facts, but to be +compatible also with the assumptions and mechanisms of the Minimalist Program. In section 4 +a brief summary is given of the major findings, and some potential pFoblems are also noted for +further investigation. +2. +Some minimalist assumptions and mecbanisms +The organisation of the grammar within the Minimalist Program may be represented +schematically as in (6) below.4 Spell-Out in (6) marks the (arbitrary) point at which the +derivation of a sentence is split into two separate parts, respectively yielding its PF (sound) and +LF (meaning) representations. Operations which take place before SpeU:.out form part of the +overt syntax and are reflected in the perceptible PF representation of the sentence.

Two general types of features are distinguished, viz. +lerical-categorial (Le) features and formal (F) features, which are interpreted at the two +interface levels PF and LF. LC-features consist of semantic features; categorial features like +[nominal], [verbal]; and (presumably) phonological features.! The F-features of substantive +items relate to, amongst others, morphological properties such as tense, case and agreement +(person, number, gender), and are each selected with a particular value (+1-). The substantive +categories are selected independently of each other, and are subsequently projected and +merged with one another through the operations of the Generalised Transformation, the only +structure-building mechanism within the Minimalist Program. +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +65 +For a well-formed sentence to be derived, the various substantive items must be licensed for +interpretation at the PF and LF levels. To this end a further system of junctional categories is +postulated, generated above and to the left of the system of substantive categories. Functional +categories include, amongst others, AgrS (subject agreement), AgrO (object agreement), and T +(Tense), each consisting of a set ofF-features, the same F-features that are associated with the +substantive categories. In contrast to those of the substantive categories, however, the F- +features of the functional categories are not specified for particular values. Licensing of a +substantive category is then effected by moving its F-features upwards and to the left, into +positions where they can be checked against the corresponding features of a functional +category. During checking the F-feature of a substantive category supplies a particular feature +value to the relevant F -feature of a functional category, provided that the two categories (or +more specifically, their F-features) are structural sisters. The movement of F-features is +effected by Move-F, one of the operations of the Generalised Transformation (GT). +The F-features of the functional categories belong to two types, viz. V-features and N-features. +A V-feature, on the one hand, must agree with the corresponding F-feature of a substantive +head. Since feature checking is only possible in a sisterhood relationship, it follows that the F- +feature of the substantive head must be adjoined to the relevant functional head. N-features, on +the other hand, must agree with the corresponding features associated with phrases. In this +case the relevant phrase moves to the Specifier (Spec) position of the functional category X so +that it forms the sister of the first projection xpl above the functional head.6 Give~ that the +features of a functional head X are, via percolation; also available at its projections, hence also +at xpl, checking can proceed in accordance with the sisterhood condition. In short, V-features +are checked in head-head configurations, and N-features in Spec-head configurations. +Two further assumptions regarding F-features should be noted here. The first concerns the +question of feature strength. The F-features (i.e. both the V~ and N-features) of ajunctional +head may be either strong or weak, with the possibility of parametric variation between +languages. Zwart (1997) proposes, for example, that the V- and N-features of Agr are both +strong in Dutch, a proposal that will be accepted for Afrikaans as well.' Strong features must +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +66 +be checked (i.e. supplied with a value) in the overt syntax, before Spell-Out, otherwise the +derivation will crash at PF. The checking of weak features, by contrast, can be 'postponed' +until the covert syntax, after the point of Spell-Out; weak features are not visible at PF and can +occur unchecked at that level. +The second assumption concerns interpretation at the PF level. To be interpreted (i.e. lexically +realised) at PF, the F-features of a substantive head must be combined with LC-features within +a categorial head. Suppose for instance that the F-features of a substantive head Yare adjoined +to a functional head X to form the morphosyntactic complex XI If Xl does not contain any +LC-features, it will not constitute a legitimate (interpretable) PF-object, which means that it +will not be lexically realised. In such a case one of the following operations may be performed. +(I) +If there is a further functional head Z higher up in the structure which does contain LC- +features, Xl can be adjoined to Z by means of Move-F to form the morpho syntactic +complex Zl ZI will then qualify as an interpretable PF-object, since it contains both F- +and LC-features. The operation is only pennissible, however, if it will result in an F- +feature of Z being supplied with a value; in other words, Z will attract Xl only if Z can +gain an F-feature value in the process. +(II) Suppose there is not an appropriate functional head Z higher up in the structure. In such +a case the LC-features of the substantive head Y must be moved overtly to Xl -- i.e. +before Spell-Ou~ -- just like its F-features. to form a lelritimate PF-obiect. This is effected +by Move-LC, a futher movement operation of GT. It should be noted, though, that the +overt movement of LC-features represents a 'costly' operation in terms of grammatical +. computation, one that is available only as a 'last resort'. +The preceding overview of minimalist assumptions and mechanisms can be made concrete with +reference to the examples in (7) and (8). +(7) dat sy die deuT sluit +(8) Sy sluit die deuT +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +67 +The structure underlying the embedded sentence in (7) can be represented roughly as in (9) +below8 This structure has been derived by Lexical Selection and the GT-operations Project +and Merge. The subject .ry. and the direct object die deur in (8) have already been moved +overtly to [Spec, AgrS] and [Spec, AgrO), respectively; these two operations are required so +that the strong N-features of AgrS and AgrO can be checked before Spell-Out.

This involves at least three operations. Firstly, F(v) is adjoined to AgrO, yielding +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +68 +the two-segment category AgrO l with F(v) and AgrO as its daughter-constituents; the strong +V.features of AgrO can be checked in this configuration. Secondly. AgrOl is adjoined to T to +fonn the two-segment category Tl with AgrOl and T as its daughters, a configuration in which +the V -feature of T can be checked. Thirdly, Tl is adjoined to AgrS yielding the two-segment +category AgrSl, which provides the configuration for checking the strong V-features of AgrS. +The problem, however, is that AgrS} does not contain any LC-features, which means that it +does not constitute an interpretable object at PF. This problem can be overcome in terms of the +proposal (1) above, that is, by adjoining AgrS 1 to the functional head C, a further instance of +Move-F. C obviously contains LC-features, since it can be spelled out as the complementiser +dal. Hence, by adjoining AgrSI to C, a two-segment category CI can be fonned in which F(v) +is combined with LC-features. The important question, of course, is whether C has anything to +gain by such an operation, that is, whether C contains a V -feature which can be supplied with a +value via AgrSI-to-c. Zwart (1997) argues on the basis of agreement facts that C must indeed +·contain such a V-feature: in various dialects ofDutcb, Frisian and Gennan the complementiser +agrees in person andlor number with the subject and the inflected verb, a phenomenon which +can only be accounted for in tenns of Move-F to c. IO Given Zwarts' analysis, C thus attracts +AgrSI in order to obtain an F-feature value; as a consequence, a legitimate PF-object -- the +two-segment head CI -- is created, one which contains both F- and LC-features. +The effect of the four overt operations involving F(v) can be illustrated in the structure (10) +below. Since the LC-features of the V sJuil -- indicated as LC(v) -- do not have to be moved in +the overt syntax, the V is spelled out in its initial position under the VP; (10) thus reflects the +surface SOy word order of the embedded sentence in (7).11 +Consider next the main clause in (8). The structure underlying (8) is almost identical to that +presented as (9) above for the embedded sentence in (7). The only difference is that (9), in the +case of the main clause (8), does not contain a CP dominating AgrSP2, since (8) is not +introduced by a complementiser (e.g. dal). In short. the embedded sentence in (7) represents a +CP, and the main clause in (8) an AgrSP. As in the case of (7). the F-features of the V sJuil in +(8) must be moved overtly so that the strong V -features of Agr and T can be checked before +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +(10) +69 +CP +C'~AgrSp2 +~ ~ +................ + AgrS' +C +NP +AgrSP' +/""'-... +I +I +~ +T' +AgrS +dal +sy +AgrS' +TP +~ +I +~ +AgTO' +T +T' +AgrOp2 +/"--.... +I~ +/'-.... +F(v) +AgrO +: +/ +"-.... +t: +NP +AgrOp' +I +/"- +die deur AgrO' +yp2 '6 +I +sluit +LC(v) +F(v)-t +Spell-Out. Three operations are involved in this, viz. (i) F(v)-to-AgrO, (ii) AgrOl_to_ T and (iii) +T'-to-AgrS, with F(v) eventually forming part of the two-segment category AgrSI. However, +AgrS I does not contain any LC-features, which means that it does not constitute a legitimate +PF-object. The derived structure moreover lacks a higher functional category with LC-features +-- like C, as in the case of the embedded sentence (7) -- to which AgrSI can be adjoined by +means of Move-F. Since F(v) cannot be interpreted without LC-features, the derivation will +therefore crash at PF. The only solution to this problem is to adjoin the LC-features of the V +sluit to AgrS I before Spell-Out (cf the last resort proposal (II) above). This will then yield the +two-segment category AgrS2, a legitimate PF-object containing both F-and LC-features. One +of the consequences of moving the LC-features of the V sluit to AgrS in the overt syntax is +that sluit will be lexically spelled out in the second structural position of the sentence. This is in +accordance with the surface SVO word order of the main clause (8). The structure (11) below +illustrates the various overt operations involving F(v) and LC(v) in the derivation of (8). +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +70 +(11) +AgrSP2 +NP --------------- AgrSpl +S~ +AgrS2 -------- TP +---- +~ +LC(v) +AgrSl +Tl +AgrOp2 +..• 1/"-.....1'" +...........-- +sluit +• +Tl +AgrS +NP +AgrOpl +...... ~ +J +/"--. +.

The (bold-faced) negation words in these +sentences belong to various substantive categories, viz. N (niemand, niles, geeneen); A (g'n, +nooit, nerens, nie, geensins); and DET (geen, g'n). Omitting such a word from a negative +sentence results in ungranunaticality (or a change of meaning), as illustrated in (12).12 +(12)(a) +Sy sluit *(nooit) die deur nie +(b) +Hulle is *(g 'n) so arm nie +(c) +Jan beweer OOt hy *(niks) onthou nie +(d) +Ek twyjel oj hulle regtig *(geen) kontant het nie +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +71 +A further general property of negation words is that they can be modified by adverbs like glad +('by no means', 'altogether', 'at all'); absoluut (,absolutely'); hoegenaamd ('at all', '(nothing) +whatever'); ongeveeT ('just about'); omtrent, byka!lS ('almost', 'nearly'): +(13)(a) +HuJle was glad nie betrokke nie +they were entirely not involved not +'They weren't involved at all' +(b) +Ons voel omtrent neTem veilig nie +we feel almost nowhere safe not +'We feel safe almost nowhere' +(c) +Jan se riat hy ahsoluut niles onthou nie +John says that he absolutely nothing remembers not +'John says that he remembers absolutely nothing' +(d) +Dit hlyk riat 5)' hykans 1/00it die geTeg mook nie +it seems that she almost never the dish makes not +'It seems that she almost never makes the dish' +As mentioned above, it is not the aim of this paper to give a detailed analysis of the syntax of +sentential negation in Afrikaans.

The +structure underlying (l 5) may be represented roughly as in (16).

One +possibility might be that Neg does not have a fixed hierarchical position between T and AgIO, +but that it can also be projected between AgrO and VP. The word order difference between +sentences like those in (IS) and (17) could then be ascribed to the variable position of Neg. +Another possibility might be to postulate a further functional category above Neg in structures +of the type (16), one to which the object could be moved overtly to derive the word order in +(17).14 The merits of these suggestions, and for that matter the whole question of word order +variation in Afrikaans negative sentences, fall outside the scope of this paper and wiD not be +investigated further here. +This brings us to the analysis of the final nie in negative sentences (henceforth, NIE). A first +question concerns the type of category to which NIE belongs. One possibility is to regard NIE +as a member of the class of negation words like nooil, niemand, nie, etc., that is, to classifY it +as a substantive item. This leads to two predictions: (i) omitting NIE from a negative sentence +should result in ungrarnmaticality (or a change of meaning), and (ii) NIE should be modifiable +by adverbs like glad, omtrenl, absoluul, etc. Both predictions are incorrect. The examples in +(18) show that it is possible to omit NIB without causing ungrammaticality (or a change of +meaning), and the examples in (19) show that NIB cannot be modified. +(l8)(a) +Ek sien niemand (NlE) +I see no-one ( not) +'I don't see anybody' +(b) +Jy help my nooit (NJE) +you help me never (not) +'You never help me' +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +74 +(c) +Hiervoor het ek geen oplossing (NIE) +here-for have I no solution (not) +'For this I have no solution' +(d) +Sy beweer 001 dit nerem veilig is (NIE) +she claims that it nowhere safe is (not) +'She claims that it isn't safe anywhere' +(e) +Dis vir my duidelik 001 niks hom salonderkry (NIE) +it-is for me clear that nothing him will under-get (not) +'It's clear to me that nothing will get the better of him' +(t) +Hulle verseker my 001 OOar geen aniWoord by sy kantoor is (NIE) +they assure me that there no answer at his office is (not) +(J9)(a) +'They assure me there's no answer at his office' +Hulle was nie betrokke (*glad) NIE +they were not involved (*at all) not +'They weren't involved' +(b) +Ons mel nerens veilig (*omtrent) NIE +we feel nowhere safe (*a1most) not +'We don't feel safe anywhere' +(c) +Jan se OOt hy niks onthou (*absoluut) NJE +John says that he nothing remembers (*absolutely) not +'John says that he remembers nothing' +(d) +Dil blyk 001 5)' nooil die gereg maak (*bykans) NIE +it seems that she never the dish makes (·nearly) not +'It seems that she never makes the dish' +Apparently, then, NTE is not a substantive item, which leaves only one other possibility, viz +that it represents a functional item. Given this conclusion, the question arises to which specific +functional category NlE belongs. An obvious proposal would be to analyse NTE as a phonetic +realisation of the functional category Neg, that is, as the head ofNegP in a structure like (16). +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +75 +On this proposal the structure underlying the embedded sentence in (15) will take roughly the +fonn in (20). The subject sy, the object die deur, and the adverbial nooit have already been +moved overtly in (20); the various overt movements involving F(v), i.e. the F-features of the V +s/uit, are not indicated. +(20) +CP +C ~AgrSp2 +I +~ +OOt +NP; +AgrSpl +I +......--.. +sy +AgrS +TP +T """"'-""'NegP' +~ +AP. +NegPl +I +..,...,..--.. +nooil +Neg +AgrOp2 +I +~ +NIE +NPj +AgrOpl +I +~ +me~ur AgrO +~ +~ +AP +vp2 +I +/""--.... +It. +NP +vpl +I +/""--.... +t; +V +NP +I +I +slult +tj +F(v) +LC(v) +However, an analysis along the lines in (20), with NIE representing the head of NegP, is +problematic in various respects. Firstly, NIE does not appear in sentence-final position, but to +the left of the direct object die deur and the V s/uit. Since only leftward, upward movements +are provided for within the Minimalist Program, NIE cannot be moved to the right into final +position. To derive the surface word order of (15), both the V and the object would therefore +have to move overtly to positions to the left of NIE. However, it is not at all clear which +positions, if any, could serve as possible landing sites for these two constituents. In the case of +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +76 +the object die deur, (20) does not contain an apparent Specifier position to which the NP could +be moved; and even if such a position were postulated, it is not clear how/whether the relevant +operation could be motivated in terms of strong N-feature checking. In the case of the V sluit, +it could be argued that both F(v) and LC(v) are adjoined to Neg. But this then raises the +question why LC(v) has to be moved overtly. This cannot be because F(v) will be stranded in +Neg without LC-features: Neg already contains such features (spelled out as NIB), and F(v) +will in any case be combined in the course of the derivation with the LC-features in C (cf. the +representation in (1 0) above). +A second problem with the analysis in (20) concerns sentences containing two NIE's, one +associated with sentential negation (NIE2), and the other with constituent negation (NIEI; cf. +note 1). Consider the following examples; in each case NIE! is associated with the preceding +negation word. +(2I)(a) +Ek sal jou nooit (NIEJ) vergeet NIE2 +I will you never (not) forget not +'I will never forget you' +(b) +Niemand anders (NIEJ) het opgedaag NIE2 +no-one else (not) has arrived not +'No-one else arrived' +(c) +Dit blyk dat sy absoluut niks (NIEJ) /can onthou NIE2 +it seems that she absolutely nothing (not) can remember not +'It seems that she can remember absolutely nothing' +(d) +Jy weet mos dat ons nie sommer (NIEJ) vir jou sal jok NIE2 +you know of-course that we not just (not) for you will lie not +'You should know that we won't lie to you for no reason' +NIBI shares at least two general properties with the sentence-final nie, NIE2. Firstly, as shown +in (21), NIE! can be omitted without causing ungrarnmaticality or a change of meaning. And +secondly, NIE! cannot be modified: +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +(22)(a) +(b) +(c) +77 +Ek sal jou noDi! (*glad) NIEI vergeet NIE2 +Niemand anders (*hykans) NIEI het opgedaag NIE2 +Di! blyk dat sy niks (*absoluut) NIEI /can onthou NIE2 +It thus seems reasonable to take NIEl (like the sentence-final nie) to be a functional item, +rather than a substantive item like the negation words nooit, niemand, nie, etc. Within the +Minimalist Program a functional category is projected only if it is necessary for the licensing of +a substantive item X, in other words, if it can be checked against a particular F-feature of X. +Each F(x) will thus result in the projection of one, and only one, corresponding functional +category. This explains, for example, why a structure with only one finite, intransitive verb +cannot have more than one AgrS or T. Consider now the assumption (14)(b) above. In terms +of (14)(b) the functional category Neg is projected only if the structure contains a substantive +category with a [+ neg] F-feature. It furthermore follows from the general assumption about +the occurrence of functional categories that the selection of such a substantive category cannot +result in the projection of more than one Neg. The problem which sentences like those in (21) +pose for the analysis in (20) should now be obvious: each of these sentences contains two +functional items NIE, which implies that the structure must contain two functional categories +Neg. In fact, though, each sentence contains only one substantive item with a [+ neg] feature, +which means that only one Neg can be projected. IfNIEl is taken to be the phonetic realisation +of the single projected Neg, NIE2 would thus be left without a structural position, and vice +versa. +A third problem for the analysis in (20) concerns sentences like the foUowing: +(23)(a) +(b) +Sy wend geen poging aan NIE om my te help NlE +she turns no attempt on not for me to help not +'She makes no attempt to help me' +Dis nie duidelik NIE of hy sal/com NIE +it-is not clear not whether he will come not +·'It's not clear whether he will come' +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +78 +(c) +Baie mense sal nie die grondwet lees NIE as dit net in een taal geskryf is NIE +many people will not the constitution read not if it only in one language written is not +'Many people won't read the constitution ifit is only written in one language' +(d) +Door is geen leans NIE dat die Springbokke hu/le opponente sal onderskat NIE +there is no chance not that the Springboks their opponents will underestimate not +'There's no chance that the Springboks will underestimate their opponents' +(e) +Sy wil niks doen NlE as jy vir hoar goon lag NlE +she will nothing do not if you for her go laugh not +'She doesn't want to do anything if you're going to laugh at her' +(f) +Ek was nie seker NlE of jy ook wou saamkom NIE +I was not sure not whether you also wanted-to along-come not +'I wasn't sure whether you would have liked to come along as well' +The sentences in (23) each contain two NIE's, one in the main clause and one in the subordi- +nate clause. If NIB is the phonetic realisation of the functional category Neg, it follows that +every main and subordinate clause in these examples must contain a functional head Neg. In +terms of the assumption (14)(b), however, a Neg can only be projected if the relevant structure +contains a substantive item with the F-feature [+ neg]. The main clauses in (23) each contain +such an item (viz. the negation words geen, nie, niks), but not the subordinate clauses. Since +the non-occurrence of a negation word implies the non-occurrence of Neg, the final nie in the +subordinate clauses in (23) is therefore left without a structural position. +A similar problem is found with sentences like those in (24) below, each of which contains a +NIE without any accompanying negation word. Here, too, the non-occurrence of a negation +word implies the non-occurrence of Neg, leaving NIE without a structural position. It should +be noted, however, that the acceptability judgements of native speakers vary considerably with +regard to sentences of the type in (24); some speakers find such sentences unacceptable or at +best marginally acceptable.

Given that NIB is a functional item, as +was argued above, there is the question ofwbich other functional category it could belong to, +and in which hierarchical position the relevant category would be projected. Suppose such a +category X is postulated, one which can be spelled out as NIB. Even though NIE appears in +sentence-final position in the visible PF-representation, X cannot be projected in this position. +The reason for this is that functional categories (e. g. Agr, T, C) occur to the Jeft and above the +system of substantive categories within the Minimalist Program.

In section 2, however, it was pointed out that +the Minimalist Program provides for only one general, underlying word order, viz. Spec-head- +complement. Thus, even though the complement-head order in the structure (25) can describe +the sentence-final position of NIE in (15), it is unacceptable on general theoretical grounds, +which raises serious doubts about the merit of an analysis along the lines in (25).1l +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +81 +We have now examined various proposals for the analysis of NIB, and it was argued in each +case that there are empirical and/or theoretical considerations which reflect negatively on the +merit of the proposal. We tum now to a possible alternative which is apparently not subject to +the same objections. The central hypotheses of this proposal may be formulated as follows: +(26)(a) +NIB is the phonetic realisation of a functional head which can be indicated with the +category label Pol(arity). +(b) +Pol is projected as the topmost functional category in sentence structure, e.g. +above AgrSP in sentence-initial main clauses and above CP in embedded sentences. +(c) +Pol is projected in accordance with the universal underlying word order postulated +within the Minimalist Program, viz. Spec-head-complement; in other words, Pol is +projected upwards and to the left in sentence structure, taking its relevant sister- +constituent (e.g. AgrSP or CP) as a right-complement. +In tenns of these hypotheses, the structure underlying the embedded sentence in (l 5) may be +represented as in (27) below. The subject sy, the object die deur and the adverbial nooit have +already been moved overtly; the movement operations involving F(v) are not indicated (cf the +representation in (1 0) above). +(27) +PolP +Po1~CP +~E +C """"--AgrSpl +I +.........--- +dat +NPi +AgrSpl +s~ +AgrS -------- TP ---- +T +Negpl +---- +APk +Negp 1 +I +...---. +. +nooit +Neg +AgrOpl +.....--- +NPj +AgrOpl +I +.....---- +die deur +AgrO +yp3 +~ +tk +1, +V +~ +I +sluit +F(v) +LC(v) +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +82 +The question now is how the surface word order of (15), with N1E in sentence-final position, +can be derived from the underlying structure (27). Within the Minimalist Program there seems +to be only one possibility, viz. to move the entire CP overtly to the specifIer position of Pol. +Overt movement of a phrase yP to the Spec of a functional head X is only possible, however, +if yP contains a particular F-feature that must be checked before Spell-Out against the +corresponding strong N-jealure of X. In other words, X will attract yP only if X can gain a +feature value in the process. IfCP-to-Pol is the only way in which N1E can end up in sentence- +final position, it thus follows that CP contains an F-feature that must be checked against the +corresponding F(= N)-feature of Pol. And since the operation is an overt one, it also follows +that the relevant feature of Pol must be strong. Given these conclusions, the obvious question +is which F-feature is involved in CP-to-Pof. Apparently such a feature cannot be associated +with one of the substantive phrases in (27), i.e. with the VP, the subject.ry, the object die deur, +or the AP nooi!. If this were the case, Pol would simply attract one of these phrases, and NlE +would not end up in sentence-final position. The feature also cannot be exclusively associated +with C (and via percolation, with CP) since Pol, according to the hypothesis (26)(b), is postu- +lated in subject-initial main clauses as wel~ which lack a (C)P. This then suggests the following +working hypothesis, in terms of which the relevant feature is associated with V: +(28) Verbs have an F-feature [ poll with a particular value in 'negative polarity' sentences +(e.g. sentences containing negation words like niemand, nooil, nie, etc.); this feature is +checked against the corresponding strong N-jea/ure of the functional category Pol, +which means that the N-feature is supplied with a value. 18 +Given (28), it could be argued that [ poll forms part of the F -features, F(v), of the V sluit in +(27) (though cf. note 18). It was explained in section 2 that F(v) is involved in at least four +overt movement operations in such an embedded sentence structure, viz. (i) F(v)-to-AgrO, (ii) +AgrOI-to-T, (iii) TI-to-AgrS, and (iv) AgrSI_to~C (cf. the representation in (10)). In the case +of(27) the effect of these operations may be illustrated as follows: +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +83 +(29) +PolP +Pol --------- CP +~lE +Cl~AgrSp2 +: .......... ~ ~C ~ +/"'--..... +I +sy +AgrS' +TP +T' +AgrS +dat +I +/'-... +AgIO' +T +/"'--.. +F(v) +AgrO +•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1 +T' +Negp2 +I.~ +nooit +Neg +AgrOp2 +~ +die deur +Agr01 +vp3 +................ !~ L +sluit +LC(v) +F(v)-t +The last operation in (29), i.e. AgrSl_to-C, results in F(v) being incorporated into the complex. +functional head Ci F(v) is furthermore available via percolation at the projections ofC i , in this +case the maximal projection CPo In terms of the hypothesis (28) [ pol] is associated with F(v); +at this stage of the derivation it is also the only F-feature that is still unchecked. Hence, since +the CP contains an F-feature that can supply a value to the corresponding strong N-feature of +the functional head Pol, it follows that the CP is attracted to [Spec, Pol] in the overt syntax. In +this way, then, the surface word order of the embedded sentence in (15) can be derived, with +NIB in sentence-final position. +The above analysis of embedded negative sentences like the one in (15) also holds for subject- +initial main clauses with NIE, except of course that such main clauses do not contain a CPo +Consider again the example in (1 )(a), repeated here as (30).

The structure moreover lacks a C(P) with LC-features to +which AgrSI can be adjoined. Although the functional head Pol contains LC-features (spelled +out as NIE), it does not have a V -feature that can attract AgrS 1 for checking purposes: in +terms of the proposed analysis Pol only contains a strong Nj"ealure, which must be supplied +with a value in a Spec-head configuration. The only way in which F(v) can be combined with +LC-features in (31) is thus to adjoin LC(v), as a last resort, to AgrS' (cf. the representation in +(II) above). What is important about the structure (31), however, is that F(v) -- and therefore +the [ pol ]-feature as weU -- forms part of AgrS \ and is furthermore also available at AgrSpl +via percolation. Hence for the strong N-feature of Pol to be supplied with a value, AgrSp2 is +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +85 +attracted to [Spec, Pol], where feature checking can take place in a Spec-head configuration. +This yields the surface word order of the sentence in (30), with NlE in final position. +The preceding discussion sketched the outlines of a possible minimalist analysis of NIB, one +which incorporates the hypotheses in (26) and (28). To end this section, let us briefly consider +two empirical consequences of the proposed analysis. In terms of(28), the occurrence ofNTE +(as the phonetic realisation of the functional category Pol) is ascribed to the presence of an F- +feature [ pol ], which is assumed, as a working hypothesis, to form part of the feature compo- +sition of V. On this analysis, then, the presence ofNIE is not dependent on the presence of a +negation word such as nooit, niemand, nie, etc. Hence it should be possible to get well-formed +sentences (i) with a negation word but without NIE, and (ii) with NlE but without a negation +word. Both predictions appear to be correct. Firstly, as was illustrated with the examples in +(18), NIE can be omitted from sentences containing a negation word like nooit, nie, geen, etc. +without causing ungrarnmaticality or a change of meaning. +And secondly, it is apparently +possible for NIE to occur in sentences that do not contain a negation word, as was illustrated +in (23) and (24). +4. +Summary +This paper examined the possibilities which the Minimalist Program presents for the analysis of +the sentence-final nie in Afrikaans negative sentences. A brief overview was given in section 2 +of the relevant minimalist assumptions and mechanisms, and against this background various +possible analyses ofNlE were critically examined in section 3. It was argued that NIB does not +represent a substantive item, and more specifically, that it cannot be classified as a member of +the class of negation words. One possibility, the~ is to analyse NIE as the phonetic realisation +of the functional category Neg, where the projection of Neg is determined by the selection of a +substantive item with the F-feature [+ neg J, that is to say, a negation word like nooit, geen, +niks, nie, etc. Another possibility is to analyse NIE as the realisation of a functional category +X, not Neg, which is projected above and to the right of the VP. It was argued on the basis of +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +86 +empirical and theoretical considerations that neither of these possibilities provides an accept- +able framework for the description ofNIE. We subsequently considered a third possibility, one +which incorporates the hypotheses in (26) and (28), summarised in (32). +(32)(a) +Verbs have an F-feature [ pol] with a particular value in 'negative polarity' sen- +tences (e.g. sentences which contain a negation word like niemand, noait, geen, +nie, etc.); the presence of this feature induces the projection of a functional +category Pol(arity) for checking purposes. +(b) +Pol is projected in accordance with the (universal) underlying order Spec-head- +complement, and forms the topmost functional category in sentence structure; NIE +represents the phonetic realisation of the functional head Pol. +(c) +Pol has a strong N-feature [ pol ], which must be supplied with a value in a Spec- +head configuration before Spell-Out; Pol accordingly attracts a phrase in the overt +syntax which contains, via percolation, the [pol ]-feature associated with V. +A central premise of the proposed analysis, as expressed in (32)(b), is that NIE represents a +functional item which initially occupies the first structural position of the sentence, i.e. the head +position ofPolP. However, the operation in (32)(c) results in NIE ending up in sentence-final +position before Spell-Out, thus accounting for the surface word order of negative sentences. In +terms of (32)(a), the presence ofNIE is ascribed to the presence of an F(v)-feature [ pol ], and +not to the selection of a negation word or to the projection of a functional category Neg. It +thus follows that NIE should be able to occur without a negation word, and vice versa; +empirical support for these consequences was presented in (18), (23) and (24). In short, then, +it would appear that the proposed analysis provides an adequate description of the relevant +facts within the framework .of minimalist assumptions and mechanisms outlined in section 2. +Obviously, this does not imply that the analysis is without potential problems. Questions such +as the following, for example, still need to be addressed: +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +(33)(a) +87 +The exact content of the notion 'polarity', and more specifically 'negative polarity', +in (32)(a). +(b) +The connection, if any, between 'negative polarity' on the one hand and 'sentential +negation' on the other. +(c) +The grammatical function ofNIE (which intuitively serves as some sort of scope +marker, an item which delimits the structural domain of 'negative polarity'). +(d) +The grammatical similarities/differences between the N1E that is associated with +sentential negation and the NIE that is associated with constituent negation. +(e) +The question whether I pol] represents an F-feature that is (exclusively) associated +with verbs, or whether it (initially) enters a structure via the lexical selection of a +negation word (or a negative-entailment item) (cf. notes 15 and 18). +(f) +The question whether the functional category Pol is exclusively associated with +'negative polarity', in other words, whether provision should also be made for the +projection of a 'positive counterpart' in structures with a 'positive polarity'. +To end, one further potential empirical problem should be noted. In all the examples of nega- +tive sentences that were presented in this paper, NlE appears in sentence-final position, which +is the standard pattern in Afiikaans. But NIE lan also occur in non-final position, as illustrated +by the pairs of sentences in (34) and (35). +(34)(a) +Niemand is afgestuur in daardie wedflryd NIE +no-one was sent-off in that match not +'No-one was sent off in that game' +(b) +Hy wit nerens heen gaon in die aand NIE +he wants-to nowhere to go in the evening not +'He doesn't want to go anywhere in the evenings' +(c) +Ek kon nie 'n op/ossing kry vir die probleem NIE +I could not a solution get for the problem not +'1 couldn't find a solution for the problem' +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +88 +(d) +Sy het nih gese op die vergadering NIE +she has nothing said at the meeting not +'She said nothing at the meeting' +(e) +Niemanti is beseer in die aanval NIE +no-one was hurt in the attack not +'No-one was hurt in the attack' +(35)(a) +(b) +(c) +(d) +(e) +Niemanti is afgestuur NIE in daardie wedstryd +Hy wil nerens heen goon NIE in die aand +Ek kon me 'n oplossing kry NIE vir die probleem +Sy het nih gese NIE op die vergadering +Niemanti is beseer NIE in die aanval +The examples in (35) each have an 'extraposed' PP in sentence-final position, which is clearly +probJematical for the proposed analysis of NIE (cf the hypotheses in (32)(b, C».19 This +problem, like the questions in (33), is left here as a topic for further investigation. It should +however be noted that the problem posed by the examples in (35) is not confined to negative +sentences. As the examples in (36) show, PP's can apparently occur freely in different +structural positions in positive sentences as well.

It is +also generally accepted in the literature that NP forms part of the functional category DP +(Determiner Phrase). For ease of exposition these two proposals will not be implemented +here. +9. +See Kayne 1993; Chomsky 1994: 25-31; Bennis 1995. +10. +See Zwart 1997: 136-146,204-205. +11. +It is possible in non-standard varieties of Afrikaans (including Colloquial Afrikaans) for +an embedded sentence that is introduced by an overt complementiser to have the surface +SVO order associated with subject initial main clauses. For examples and discussion see +Robbers 1997 and the references cited there. It is not clear exactly how this phenomenon +can be accounted for within the minimalist framework outlined in this section. See Zwart +1997: 234-241 for an analysis of similar embedded verb second phenomena in Yiddish, +Icelandic, Mainland Scandinavian and Frisian. +12. +A sentence like (12)(a) Sy siuit (nooit) die deur nie is acceptable without the negation +word (Le. the time adverbial nooit), but then the nie functions as a negation word, with +the sentence expressing a meaning that can be paraphrased roughly as 'She definitely +doesn't lock the door', that is, without a time indication. +13. +See e.g. Pollock 1989. +14. +A possibility that could be considered here is to postulate a functional category Focus +above AgrOP, which overtly attracts a substantive category with the F-feature [+ focus]. +See Langer 1995 for an analysis of 'scrambling' phenomena in German in terms of the +feature [ focus ]. +15. +Although the examples in (24) do not contain any negation words, they all entail negative +expressions. For example, (c) implies that he hasn't got much experience and (d) that I +will not help you. In each case the negative entailment can be traced to a specific item, +viz. onmoontiik, nou/iles, weinig, vemiet, kwaiik, and skaars, respectively. For ease of +reference these items may be termed 'negative-entailment items' (or 'entailment- +reversing items'). +The differences/similarities between negative-entailment items and +negation words such as nooit, nie, niles, geen, etc. will not be investigated in this paper. +See e.g. Hoeksema (n.d.) and the references cited there for discussion of entailment- +reversing items in Dutch and English. +16. +A functional category like DP (see note 8) can of course occur to the right under the VP +as the complement of a transitive V. But such a structure is the result of Merge, whereas +the type of structure under discussion concerns the projection of a functional category on +the basis of the F-feature composition of a V (or possibly a negation word). DP is +projected on the basis of the F-features of a substantive category lower down in the +Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 31, 1998, 61-94 +doi: 10.5774/31-0-57 + +91 +structure (i.e. contained within the OP); after which the OP is merged with a categorial +head, e.g. V. +17. +This conclusion follows irrespective of where in the structure X is projected, that is, it +also holds if X appears above T(P), Neg(P), Agr(P) or C(P). +18. +This hypothesis raises two important questions. First, which substantive category serves +as the initial 'source' of the F-feature [ pol], in other words, as part of which category's +feature composition is [ poll introduced into the computational system? One possibility +might be that [ pol] represents an F(v), so that it enters the derivation via the lexical +selection of a verb; (28) is formulated in terms of this possibility. Another possibility +might be for [ pol] to be introduced via the· selection of a negation word (or a negative- +entailment item like nou/iks, weinig, kwa/ik, etc. as in (24); see note 15); [ pol] could +then be 'picked up' at the appropriate functional category during overt head-to-head +movement ofF(v), e.g. by adjoining F(v) to the functional head Neg in the course of the +derivation. Although [ pol] is referred to as an F-feature that is associated with verbs in +(28) and in the rest of the discussion (Le. the first possibility mentioned above), this is +done purely for the sake of convenience. The essential aspects of the analysis below +would also hold if [ pol] is combined with F(v) at a later stage of the derivation (as +expressed by the second possibility). The second question raised by the hypothesis (28) +concerns the exact content of the notion 'negative polarity sentence' on the one hand, +and the relationship, if any, between sentential negation and 'negative polarity' on the +other hand. These questions will not be investigated further here. +19. +As shown by the examples in (i), sentences like those in (35) can also occur with afinal +NIE, that is, with two NIB's (see also (23) for similar examples).

Definiciones de forma libre y forma ligada +Entendemos por formas libres aquellas que se pronuncian sin nece- +sidad de otros elementos. Por oposición, entendemos como formas +ligadas aquellas que dependen de otro elemento para ser pronuncia- +das. El gramático De la Carrera (1644: 185) se refiere a las formas li- +gadas “no porque por sí hablen, sino que es forçoso se anteponga[n] +al numero”. +3. Comportamiento de las formas ligadas +Las formas ligadas estaban en distribución complementaria con +las formas libres, subcategorizando elementos que operaban como +cuantificadores. Estos cuantificadores se pueden dividir en tres cate- +gorías. La primera categoría estaba formada por las bases decimales +del sistema de numeración mochica, esto es, las decenas, centenas o +millares. He aquí algunos ejemplos (Carrera 1644: 184-185): +Numeral: +çoc pong + + + += +30 +Glosa: +tres decena +Numeral: +çoc palæc allo nopæt + += +304 +Glosa: +tres centena conjunción cuatro +Numeral: +pac cunô allo na palæc allo aput += +2102 +Glosa: +dos millar conjunción uno centena conjunción dos + En la gramática de Fernando de la Carrera (1644: 182) aparece la forma , +que creemos es una errata, pues en las demás ocasiones en las que se emplea el nu- +meral 2 se utiliza la forma . + + + +Salas • Formas ligadas en los numerales del mochica 149 +El comportamiento de estas formas ligadas es el de un operador +(na, pac, çoc, noc) que liga variables con valores de decena (pong), +centena (palæc) o millar (cunô) para multiplicar dichos valores. Por +ejemplo, nótese que, en el numeral 30, la forma ligada çoc multiplica +por tres el valor del numeral pong (10). En el numeral 304, la forma +ligada çoc hace lo propio con el numeral palæc (100), multiplicándo- +lo por tres. Obsérvese que, en el mismo numeral 304, el orden de las +unidades se representa con la forma libre nopæt, en vez de la forma +ligada noc, ya que no hay ninguna variable por ligar. En el numeral +2102, pac multiplica por dos a cunô (1000) y na multiplica por uno a +palæc (100), mientras que en el orden de las unidades se usa la forma +libre aput (2) en vez de la forma ligada pac. +La segunda categoría de cuantificadores estaba conformada por +nombres que denotaban magnitudes o cantidades. En efecto, hay +ejemplos en los que estos operadores cuantificaban palabras que no +eran precisamente numerales (i.e. col = ‘caballo’ o ñofæn = ‘hom- +bre’); sin embargo, en dichos contextos, tales palabras funcionaban +como cuantificadores, tal como lo demuestran los siguientes ejem- +plos (Carrera 1644: 186): + +Ejemplo: na col mang +Glosa: un (operador) caballo (cuantificador) maíz = “un caballo +de maíz” +Ejemplo: pac ñofæn là +Glosa: dos (operador) hombre (cuantificador) agua = “dos esta- +dos de agua” +La interpretación que damos a estas expresiones es que se tie- +ne ‘la cantidad de maíz equivalente a la carga de un caballo’ o ‘la +cantidad de agua equivalente a la altura de dos hombres’. Ahora, + La palabra ñofæn que significa ‘hombre’ es traducida como ‘estado’ por de la +Carrera en este ejemplo. El Diccionario de Autoridades ([1726] 2002: 623) dice que +el estado era una medida de la estatura regular de un hombre y que esta medida se +aplica a la profundidad de los pozos o cualquier cosa honda. De ahí que se haya uti- +lizado la palabra ‘hombre’ como referencia a una medida equivalente a su altura. + +150 Lexis Vol. XXXII (1) 2008 +cuando se aplica los numerales ‘uno’, ‘dos’, ‘tres’ y ‘cuatro’ para +contar nombres que no expresan magnitudes o cantidades, se utili- +zan las formas libres, tal como es el caso en los siguientes ejemplos +(Middendorf 1892: 123): +Ejemplo: aput-o nepät +Glosa: dos árbol (literal) = dos árboles (traducción adaptada al +castellano) +Ejemplo: sopät-o an +Glosa: tres casa (literal) = tres casas (traducción adaptada al cas- +tellano) +Un caso interesante en el que se aprecia las formas ligadas, sub- +categorizando en un mismo numeral las dos primeras categorías +de cuantificadores, lo proporciona Fernando de la Carrera (1644: +258): +Ejemplo: çoc ssop allô çoc fær +Glosa: tres decena conjunción tres año +Traducción libre: Treinta y tres años +El primer çoc liga a la base decimal ssop que, además de designar +una decena de unidades, era un clasificador que servía para contar +el tiempo (cf. Carrera 1644: 183). El segundo çoc liga la palabra fær +‘año’, que designa una determinada cantidad de tiempo. El cronista +Antonio de la Calancha ([1638] 1976: 835) se refiere a este concepto +en los siguientes términos: “las cabrillas que ellos llamavan Collca, +que los Gentiles llamaron Pléyades ijas de Atlante i Pleyona, que las +adoraron por Diosas; i los Iungas las llamaron Fur, i por ellas con- +tavan los años...”. Más adelante, el mismo autor ([1638] 1977: 1244) +agrega: “No contavan el año por Lunas, ni por el curso del Sol, +sino desde que salían las estrellas que nosotros llamamos Cabrillas, +i ellos llaman Fur.” +La tercera categoría está compuesta por los clasificadores nume- +rales de pares. De la Carrera (1644: 198) menciona dos: luc y felæp. + + + +Salas • Formas ligadas en los numerales del mochica 151 + +Ejemplo: noc felæp ‘cuatro pares’ de potos o aves. +Consideramos estos clasificadores como una subcategoría y no la +integramos a las bases decimales, pues los pares no forman parte de +la sucesión de bases decimales. Por tanto, tales clasificadores no se +integraban en las construcciones sintácticas de los numerales de base +decimal, lo cual supone una distribución diferente. ­Presumiblemente, +estos clasificadores pares se utilizaban para designar cantidades pe- +queñas. De ahí que De la Carrera (1644: 183 y 186) dé ejemplos como: +exllmætzh pong cuculì ‘cincuenta palomas’ o çoc pong celû ‘treinta +gavilanes’, empleando el clasificador pong que, entre otras cosas, tam- +bién servía para contar aves. Comprobamos así que las formas ligadas +de los primeros cuatro numerales eran operadores que ligaban una +variable, la cual era un cuantificador que pertenecía a tres categorías, a +saber: bases del sistema decimal, nombres que cuantificaban una mag- +nitud o clasificadores pares. Ahora bien, a diferencia de estos cuatro +primeros numerales, en los que existen una forma libre y otra ligada; +a partir del quinto numeral sólo hay una forma tanto para designar +unidades: exllmætzh = 5, como para construir numerales mayores: +exllmætzh pong = 50. Esto se repetirá para el resto de las unidades, +haciendo la salvedad que las formas ligadas también podían aparecer +en los cuatro primeros numerales de cada decena, si es que lo que se +contaba era una palabra que denotaba magnitud o cantidad. +4. Hipótesis de Middendorf +En el siglo XIX, Middendorf (1892: 68 y 129) consideraba que las +formas ligadas eran mutilaciones o abreviaturas de las formas libres. +Su opinión reposaba en el parecido que grosso modo comparten am- +bos grupos de numerales: todas las formas ligadas comparten sin +excepción la primera consonante de las formas libres. De manera +tal que si la forma libre comenzaba por consonante, entonces, la +forma ligada conservaba dicha consonante: çopæt → çoc (3) / nopæt +→ noc (4). Si la forma libre comenzaba en vocal, la forma ligada se +valía de la consonante de la sílaba siguiente: onæc → na (1) / aput → + +152 Lexis Vol. XXXII (1) 2008 +pac (2). Además, salvo na, las demás formas ligadas (pac, çoc, noc) +poseían la primera vocal de su correspondiente forma libre: aput → +pac (2), çopæt → çoc (3), nopæt → noc (4) y, a su vez, acaban en una +misma consonante: pac, çoc, noc. Middendorf dejó, no obstante, sin +explicar por qué la forma ligada na (1) es irregular en relación con el +resto del paradigma. Además, este autor tampoco dio cuenta de los +procesos que permitían pasar de las formas libres a las ligadas. Es +nuestra tarea, pues, proporcionar dichas explicaciones. +5. Hipótesis complementaria +Para explicar la irregularidad de na, nuestra hipótesis es que dicha +forma es tomada de otro paradigma. Los primeros indicios para +formular esta hipótesis los notamos cuando analizamos las formas +libres, en las que, salvo onæc (1), todas terminaban en /t/: aput (2), +çopæt (3), nopæt (4). No obstante, onæc contaba con la consonante +final de las formas ligadas: pac, çoc, noc. Esto nos llevó a pensar que +onæc era un numeral, cuya fisonomía estaba más cerca de las for- +mas ligadas que de las libres. Postulamos, por tanto, la forma libre +*onæt, que nos servirá para explicar las irregularidades. +6. Procesos de cambio +Las modificaciones de las formas libres para devenir en formas li- +gadas pueden ser divididas en dos grupos, según los numerales em- +piecen en consonante o en vocal. Empezaremos por proponer tres +transformaciones en los numerales iniciados por consonante, para +luego pasar a los numerales iniciados por vocal. Como parte de la +argumentación, ofreceremos una justificación para cada uno de los +cambios que propondremos: +Numerales iniciados por consonante +1º Sustitución de t por k: çopæt → çopæc (3) / nopæt → nopæc (4) +2º Caída de vocal: + +çopæc → çopc (3) / nopæc → nopc (4) +3º Fusión de consonantes: çopc → çoc (3) / nopc → noc (4) + + + +Salas • Formas ligadas en los numerales del mochica 153 +En la primera modificación, podemos decir que existen registros +en la lengua de la alternancia de consonantes. Fernando de la Ca- +rrera (1644: 25) señala, por ejemplo, a propósito de unos nombres +derivados de verbos (i. e. xamassæc → xamiçæc, aiassæc → ajiçæc, +metessæc → metiçæc), que hay que hacerlo “...con aduertencia, que +las dos vltimas ss, se bueluen en c”. Otro caso en el que se alternan +las consonantes es en las formas de las pasivas. El licenciado De la +Carrera (1644: 85) escribe al respecto: “Aduiertase, que la R. en el +verbo passiuo bueluen los Indios en M. como metæreiñ, metæmeiñ”. +La permuta de t por k en el caso de los numerales no debe, pues, +llamar la atención. +En cuanto a la segunda modificación, podemos decir que la vocal +æ regularmente caía en la lengua mochica por razones de acentuación. +Sobre todo en lo que a estos primeros cuatro numerales se refiere, tal +como ocurre con las formas de genitivo (Carrera 1644: 182): + + +Nominativo + + + Genitivo + + +onæc = ‘uno’ + + + oncæro = ‘de uno’ + + +aput = ‘dos’ + + + apturo = ‘de dos’ + + +çopæt = ‘tres’ + + + çoptæro = ‘de tres’ + + +nopæt = ‘cuatro’ + + noptæro = ‘de cuatro’ +En todos estos casos, la consonante final del nominativo formaba +una nueva sílaba con la vocal del genitivo. Esta nueva sílaba se encuen- +tra subrayada en los ejemplos de la segunda columna. Mas en caso +de haberse producido la caída de æ, tras la sustitución de t por k, no +se habría formado una nueva sílaba, pues todas las decenas, centenas +y millares comenzaban por consonante. Más bien habríamos tenido +decenas como *onc pong, centenas como *apc palæc, y millares como +*çopc cunô. Todas formas imposibles, porque el mochica no mantenía +dos consonantes seguidas en la misma sílaba. Es así que palabras como +transporte, plata o cobre habrían sido imposibles en mochica. + La permuta de t por k caería dentro de lo que Cerrón-Palomino (1995: 149-150) +denominó alternancia consonántica. + +154 Lexis Vol. XXXII (1) 2008 +Por lo que hace a la fusión de consonantes, ésta se encuentra ple- +namente documentada. A partir de ejemplos entresacados del Arte +de 1644, Hovdhaugen (2004: 16) señala la simplificación de grupos +consonánticos, tales como manæm ‘comer / beber’ que vendría de +man- ‘raíz verbal’ + -næm ‘morfema no finito’, tunæm ‘matar’ que +provendría de ton- ‘raíz verbal’ + -næm ‘morfema no finito’ o epæn +que procedería de ep ‘porque’ + pæn ‘por’. +Los dos primeros cambios experimentados por las formas libres +iniciadas en consonante también deben haber sido compartidos por +las formas libres iniciadas en vocal. Sin embargo, creemos que para +el tercer cambio, en vez de una fusión, se debe haber producido una +inversión en el orden de las consonantes. En este punto, iniciaremos +la derivación del numeral correspondiente a 1, a partir de la forma +hipotética *onæt, que más adelante nos permitirá explicar la irregu- +laridad del paradigma: +Numerales iniciados por vocal +1º Sustitución de t por k: +*onæt → onæc (1) / aput → apuc (2) +2º Caída de vocal: +onæc → onc (1) / apuc → apc (2) +3º Inversión de consonantes: onc +→ noc (1) / apc → pac (2) +La inversión del orden en las consonantes tampoco era extraña +en el mochica. En la gramática mochica se encuentran instancias de +la inversión de consonantes. Compárese, a tal efecto, estos verbos +defectivos (Carrera 1644: 76-77), cuyas únicas formas son las que +aparecen en singular y plural: +Verbo +Glosa + +Verbo +Glosa +Amelec +Apártate + +Iñich +Voy +Amelecchi +Apartaos + +Iñchich +Vamos +Muc +Toma + +Amoch +Vamos + Al ofrecer la glosa de la palabra amoch se hace en plural no por error, sino por- +que así la presenta Fernando de la Carrera. Sobre este punto, léase una explicación +particular en Hovdhaugen (2000). + + + +Salas • Formas ligadas en los numerales del mochica 155 +Mucchi +Tomad + +Amochich +Vamos +Tumang +Déjalo (rechazo) +Anich +Ve +Tumangchi +Dejadlo (rechazo) +Anchich +Idos +Locan +Quédate [norabuena] (despedida) +Locanchi +Quedaos [norabuena] (despedida) +Loctopan +Estate [bien] (despedida) +Loctopanchi Estaos [bien] (despedida) +En la primera columna, se forma el plural adicionando la partí- +cula -chi a la forma singular. De hecho, en los verbos regulares, el +imperativo plural se formaba adjuntando al imperativo singular la +partícula -chi: metanchi ‘traed’ (met ‘traer’ + -an ‘imperativo’ + -chi +‘2ª plural’). En la segunda columna, empero, se invierte el orden de +la consonante . Esto se debe a razones de silabificación, las +mismas que se aplicarían a los casos de las formas libres iniciadas +por vocal, pese a tratarse de contextos diferentes. Así, comproba- +mos que la inversión de consonantes no era algo insólito en el mo- +chica. Es más, ninguno de estos fenómenos, en definitiva, es ajeno +a la lengua. +7. Existencia de homonimia +Señalamos que en el pequeño paradigma de formas ligadas: na, pac, +çoc, noc, existía un elemento léxico irregular. Para explicar esa irre- +gularidad propusimos el numeral *onæt y una serie de cambios que +permitían el paso de las formas libres a las ligadas. Ahora bien, nó- +tese que la forma noc, derivada del hipotético numeral *onæt (1), es +idéntica a la forma ligada noc que se deriva de nopæt (4). El porqué +se sustituye la forma ligada que corresponde a la unidad, en vez de +la que se relaciona con el numeral 4 creemos encontrarlo en la ge- +neralización 36 de Greenberg (1978: 278, la traducción es nuestra) +para los sistemas numerales: +36. Las únicas expresiones numerales elididas son aquéllas para 1 y +las bases del sistema. + +156 Lexis Vol. XXXII (1) 2008 +Así pues, conforme a este principio, el mejor candidato para eli- +dirse era la unidad. Pensamos, sin embargo, que tras la elisión, se +tomó de otro paradigma la “forma abreviada” na (1). Revisando los +textos mochicas se observa que hay una partícula na cuya traduc- +ción es ‘solo’: +Ejemplo: onæc na Dios (Carrera 1644: 192) +Glosa: un solo dios +Ejemplo: onæc na mo efquic +Glosa: un solo el padre (Carrera 1644: 197) +Ejemplo: onæc na çæn mo eizquic +Glosa: un solo conjunción el hijo (Carrera 1644: 197) +Semánticamente, ‘solo’ es un concepto que cumple con expresar +una cantidad y que bien puede remitir a la idea de unidad. De he- +cho, en los ejemplos anteriores, na precisa el significado de onæc y +debido a la relación semántica entre ambas palabras, onæc y na apa- +recían en similares contextos. Ahora bien, cuando na se usa como +numeral, cambia su significado de ‘solo’ a ‘uno’ para formar nu- +merales mayores. A su turno, la partícula na posee, formalmente, +la primera consonante de la forma libre *onæt ~ onæc, al igual que +las demás formas ligadas. Con esto queremos decir que la forma +particular de na no fue un óbice para integrar el pequeño (pero pro- +ductivo) paradigma monosilábico de numerales ligados. +8. Conclusiones +Las formas ligadas eran operadores que ligaban variables que hacían +las veces de cuantificadores, los cuales eran de tres tipos: bases del +sistema decimal, nombres que cuantificaban magnitudes y clasifi- + En las lenguas del mundo no es inusual hallar la relación entre un concepto +como ‘solo’ y la unidad. Por ejemplo, en una de las variedades del uro, Cerrón-Pa- +lomino (2006: 105) refiere que zinta ‘uno’ derivaría de zina ‘solo’. De igual modo, +Aikhenvald (2003: 100) señala que, en las lenguas Jarawara y Paumarí, el verbo +‘estar solo’ pasó a usarse como el numeral correspondiente a la unidad. + + + +Salas • Formas ligadas en los numerales del mochica 157 +cadores pares.

Emergence of Structure + +Co-adaptation (or co-evolution), the parallel feedback process by which agents continuously adapt to the changes induced by the adaptive actions of other agents, is a ubiquitous feature of complex adaptive systems, from eco-systems to economies.We wish to understand which general features of complex systems necessarily follow from the (meta)-dynamics of co-adaptation, and which features depend on the details of particular systems.To begin this project, we present a model of co-adaptation (''The Stigmergy Game'') which is designed to be as a priori featureless as possible, in order to help isolate and understand the naked consequences of co-adaptation.In the model, heterogeneous, co-adapting agents, observe, interact with and change the state of an environment.Agents do not, ab initio, directly interact with each other.Agents adapt by choosing among a set of random ''strategies,'' particular to each agent.Each strategy is a complete specification of an agent's actions and payoffs.A priori, all environmental states are equally likely and all strategies have payoffs that sum to zero, so without co-adaptation agents would on average have zero ''wealth''.Nevertheless, the dynamics of co-adaptation generates a structured environment in which only a subset of environmental states appear with high probability (niches) and in which agents accrue positive wealth.Furthermore, although there are no direct agent-agent interactions, there are induced non-trivial inter-agent interactions mediated by the environment.As a function of the population size and the number of possible environmental states, the system can be in one of three dynamical regions.Implications for a basic understanding of complex adaptive systems are discussed. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/0eb9dfef5cc1cb97.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/0eb9dfef5cc1cb97.txt new file mode 100644 index

+     +11 +O enredo se junta ao tempo: Uma releitura crítica de Tempo e narrativa, de Paul +Ricoeur +   +á vinte e cinco anos, era lançado o último volume da trilogia Tempo e narrativa. +Olhando para trás, só podemos ficar impressionados com a influência +extraordinária exercida por essa obra deslumbrante2 e complexa: conceitos como a +tripla mimese (tratada desde o primeiro volume), a função configurativa da “mise en +intrigue” (no centro da poética Ricoeuriana), e a identidade narrativa (introduzido in +extremis nas primeiras páginas do terceiro volume) passam hoje, aos olhos de +numerosos pesquisadores das ciências humanas e sociais, por lugares-comuns tão bem +estabelecidos, do poder heurístico tão evidente, que quase ninguém se questiona sobre +as diferentes nuances que essas noções ganham no decorrer da obra de Ricoeur e nem +sobre os méritos da análise que as gerou. +Quaisquer que sejam as críticas que façamos sobre seu trabalho, certamente um +dos principais méritos de Paul Ricoeur foi ter se antecipado e provavelmente haver +contribuído em grande parte com o surgimento da “virada narrativa” (Kreiswirth, 1995) +que se observa desde meados dos anos 1990. Paradoxalmente, jamais se falou tanto de +trama, enredo e narrativa quanto desde que a narratologia, disciplina independente, foi +declarada morta e enterrada. Na verdade, a narratologia contemporânea, batizada por +alguns como “pós-clássica”, simplesmente se pluralizou, tornou-se inviável como uma +disciplina regida por uma doutrina única, disseminando-se e abrindo-se de maneira +espetacular, de tal modo que compreende agora numerosas questões que antes lhe eram +inacessíveis, integrando e difundindo novas ferramentas de análise (Nünning, 2003). +Ricoeur certamente desempenhou um papel fundamental nesta transformação +dos estudos narrativos, o que ajudou a despertar a reflexão sobre a narrativa do +formalismo literário, iniciando o que ele chama de “longa e difícil conversa triangular +entre a historiografia, a crítica literária e a filosofia fenomenológica” (1983, p.125). Em +sua obra, Greimas e Genette são confrontados, talvez pela primeira vez, não somente +                                                                                                                           +2   Além   dos   três   volumes   de   Tempo   e   Narrativa   (1983,   1984,   1985),   podemos   considerar   como   +“prefigurações”  da  tese  central  da  tripla  mimese:  A  Metáfora  viva  (1975)  e  A  Narratividade  (1980),  e   +como   “reconfiguração”   da   tese   central   da   tripla   mimese,   as   obras   posteriores:   Das   palavras   à   ação   +(1986),  A  si  mesmo  como  um  outro  (1990),  A  memória,  a  história,  o  esquecimento  (2000),  O  curso  do   +conhecimento   (2004).   Na   sua   maior   parte,   podemos   considerar   a   problemática   descrita   em  Tempo   e   +Narrativa   como   inserida   em   uma   meditação   que   se   estende   por   quase   trinta   anos,   o   que   explica   +certamente  as  numerosas  «  discrepâncias  »  que  uma  leitura  cuidadosa  pode  colocar  em  questão.   +H + +     +12 +com Paul Veyne e Hayden White, mas também com Santo Agostinho, Hussel e +Heidegger. De alguma forma dando uma segunda vida a uma teoria da narrativa que +estava praticamente extinta com o declínio do paradigma estruturalista, Tempo e +Narrativa ajudou a abrir novos campos de pesquisa extremamente produtivos, +envolvendo as relações que se tecem entre a narrativa e certas dimensões fundamentais +da nossa relação com o mundo: temporalidade, identidade, eventualidade, semântica da +ação, ética, etc. Ainda assim, no momento em que as noções ricoeurianas de “mise en +intrigue” ou da “identidade narrativa” circulam largamente no centro das mais diversas +comunidades científicas, podemos nos perguntar se elas foram bem compreendidas e se +ainda constituem uma ferramenta heurística pertinente ou, pelo contrário, um obstáculo +para a reflexão. +Vou me concentrar nesta releitura crítica da obra central de Ricoeur para avaliar +como é defendido o conceito da tripla mimese. Tentarei mostrar que o papel e a +natureza da “mise em intrigue” se tornam difíceis de apreender, já que nunca cessam de +ser redefinidos ao longo do percurso. Também me perguntarei se a tripla mimese não é +resultado de um cruzamento entre as problemáticas hermenêuticas e existenciais que +são, de fato, incompatíveis. Associando a mediação narrativa aos gêneros da ficção +literária e da historiografia, excluindo assim todas as manifestações alternativas da +narrativa, e também buscando destacar as diferenças existentes entre as duas primeiras +mimeses, ou seja, entre o tempo vivido ou pretendido pela filosofia (o que não é a +mesma coisa) e o tempo “contado”, acredito que Ricoeur contribuiu, paradoxalmente, +para ocultar a forma na qual o tempo humano é realmente articulado de maneira +narrativa. Segundo a tese que defenderei e que, ocasionalmente, Ricoeur também +defendeu, o tempo não se torna humano com base em uma medição narrativa, mas ele já +é sempre articulado narrativamente porque ele não pode se manifestar de outra forma +que não seja a da experiência de uma concordância discordante, de uma história +passada, atual ou futura à qual estamos misturados. + +A tese da tríplice mimese e a suspeita de circularidade + + +Quando se discute o primeiro volume de Tempo e narrativa, a problemática que +parece delinear-se aparece como bem simples a uma primeira vista. Na continuação de +sua obra anterior sobre a metáfora, Ricoeur postula que as tramas das narrativas + +     +13 +literárias ou históricas corresponderiam à criação poética de uma forma inédita, pela +qual uma experiência de outro modo inexprimível poderia ser dada à línguagem. Dessa +forma, Ricoeur coloca em relação dialética as dificuldades da mediação agostiniana +sobre o tempo com a solução que seria representada pela poética aristotélica. Segundo +tal ponto de vista, a unidade (holos) poeticamente construída da história (mythos) – à +qual Ricoeur se refere como um processo dinâmico de “mise en intrigue” dos +acontecimentos – seria uma resposta poética a um problema existencial, que +permaneceria insolúvel. +Ricoeur acrescenta um ponto suplementar a esta sua reflexão sobre essa +problemática, jogando sobre ela a noção de horizonte, no modo com ela é articulada por +Hans-Georg Gadamer em Vérité et méthode (1976). Neste quadro, o horizonte do leitor, +chamado prefiguração ou mimese I, poderia corresponder à problemática temporal +levantada por Agostinho; o horizonte da obra, conhecido como configuração ou mimese +II, seria associado à unidade do mythos defendida por Aristóteles em sua Poética; e a +fusão dos horizontes, que aconteceria no ato da leitura, designada pelo rótulo de +refiguração ou de mimese III, corresponderia à transformação de uma experiência +temporal enriquecida pela mediação narrativa. +Com seu conceito de tripla mimese, resultado de um cruzamento entre a +meditação sobre o tempo de Agostinho, a poética de Aristóteles e a noção de círculo +hermenêutico, Ricoeur sugere que há uma diferença entre a prefiguração do tempo e sua +configuração da narrativa, e que, além disso, a fusão destes horizontes na experiência +estética iria transformar o leitor, dando forma à sua experiência temporal. Hoje se +conhece o valor do slogan ricoeuriano, inscrito no prefácio de Tempo e Narrativa: “o +tempo se torna tempo humano na medida em que é articulado de maneira narrativa; em +contrapartida a narrativa é significativa na medida em que desenha as linhas da +experiência temporal” (1983, p.17, grifo nosso). +Porém, conforme colocado, esta articulação das relações entre a experiência +temporal e narrativa cria uma dificuldade e Ricoeur é o primeiro a reconhecê-la. Desde +a introdução, Ricoeur admite “que a tese apresenta um caráter circular” (1983, p.17), +mas postula que o círculo não é vicioso, mas virtuoso. Logo após a apresentação do seu +modelo da tripla mimese, Ricoeur retorna para o perigo da circularidade que ameaça +toda a sua obra: + +     +14 + +“Que se considere a estrutura semântica da ação, seus recursos de +simbolização ou seu caráter temporal, o ponto de chegada parece conduzir-se +para o ponto de partida, ou pior, o ponto de chegada parece se antecipar ao +ponto de partida. Se este for o caso, o círculo hermenêutico da narratividade e +da temporalidade se resolveria no círculo vicioso da mimese.” (1983, p.110). + +Mas Ricoeur imediatamente acrescenta: + +Que a análise seja circular, não há o que discutir. Mas, que o círculo seja +vicioso pode ser refutado. A este respeito, prefiro falar de uma espiral sem +fim que faz a meditação passar várias vezes pelo mesmo ponto, mas a uma +altitude diferente (1983, 110-111). + +E ele acrescenta um pouco mais: + +A circularidade manifesta de toda análise da narrativa, que não cessa de +interpretar a forma temporal inerente à experiência e a estrutura narrativa +uma pela outra, não é uma tautologia morta. Deve-se acima de tudo vê-la +como um “círculo bem posto” no qual os argumentos de ambos os lados do +problema se ajudam mutualmente (1983, p. 116). + +Ricoeur aponta nesta parte os dois principais riscos aos quais sua tese deve se +afrontar: por um lado, existe a suspeita da “violência” interpretativa, que supõe que a +narrativa esteja necessariamente fora de sintonia com o evento ao qual ela pretende se +referir, e por outro lado, existe a suspeita da “redundância”, que seria na narrativa uma +simples cópia da história vivida (1983, p.111). Ambos os riscos definem, de alguma +forma, dois precipícios opostos, entre os quais avançará a continuação do discurso +ricoeuriano, como um equilibrista andando em uma corda bamba. +Em relação à “violência” que seria ligada à “mise en intrigue”, ela consistiria em +uma ruptura radical entre a narrativa e a experiência. Devido a essa mudança, a mise em +intrigue da trama vivida seria, portanto uma ficção, um consolo face a morte ou, nos +termos de Sartre, uma forma de má-fé. Ricoeur afirma que a suspeita de « engano » que +incidiria na configuração narrativa implica no pensamento de que a experiência seria +este “disforme absoluto” ao qual Nietzsche demandaria se submeter, através de uma +“honestidade radical” (1983, p. 111). Em contraste a esta tendência, que ele designa +como uma “perda da significância característica de uma cultura particular – a nossa” +(1983, p.112), Ricoeur afirma que tanto a experiência direta quanto a mediação +narrativa devem se manter em uma dialética. Ele diz, com efeito, que “a experiência da + +     +15 +temporalidade não pode ser reduzida a uma simples discordância. Como vimos com +Santo Agostinho, distentio e intentio confrontam-se mutuamente no seio da experiência +mais autêntica. Deve-se preservar o paradoxo do tempo, com respeito ao nivelamento +que atua na sua redução a uma simples discordância” (1983, p.111) e acrescenta: + +O caráter da consonância da narrativa, ao qual somos tentados a contrastar, +de forma não dialética, à dissonância da nossa experiência temporal, deve ele +também ser moderado. A mise en intrigue não é nunca o simples triunfo da +“ordem”. Mesmo o paradigma da tragédia grega é substituído pelo papel +perturbador da peripécia, contingências e viradas da reversos da fortuna que +despertam medo e piedade. As próprias intrigas coordenam distensão e +intensão (1983, p.112). + +O argumento é tão essencial que Ricoeur reconhece ainda que, assim que um +historiador tal como Louis O. Mink busca sair completamente do curso do tempo para +moldar uma retrospectivamente uma configuração explicativa dos acontecimentos, ele +se arrisca a um equívoco sobre aquilo que faz a dimensão propriamente temporal da +história: “a saber, a dialética entre contingência e ordem, entre episódio e configuração, +entre discordância e concordância”, ou seja, tudo o que Ricoeur definia como “a +temporalidade específica da narrativa” (1983, p.224). +Com este argumento, Ricoueur afirma, portanto, que o papel que ele atribui à +segunda mimese não constitui propriamente uma mise en forme de uma experiência que +seria nela mesma disforme, mas um simples enriquecimento, uma mediação +concordante-discordante que se encaixaria em uma realidade que já seria ela mesma +concordante-discordante. Vemos aqui a necessidade de que não se tome literalmente a +afirmação de que a intriga seria o lugar da configuração de uma experiência temporal da +qual Ricoeur afirmava, no prefácio de sua trilogia, que poderia ser “confusa, disforme e, +em última instância, muda” (1983, p.13). Longe de estar em completa dessintonia com a +realidade que ela ajuda a construir, Ricoeur diz agora que a intriga reproduz a dialética +entre “discordância e concordância” que seria própria à experiência mais autêntica. +Na tentativa de combater a suspeita de violência que se associa à intriga, +Ricoeur parece, portanto, ter alimentado os argumentos que a ameaçam, na frente +oposta. Mantendo o perigo da redundância, uma vez que “o ponto de chegada parece +(nos) levar de volta ao ponto de partida, ou pior, o ponto de chegada parece anteceder o +ponto de partida”. Ricoeur portanto reconhece que: + +     +16 + +A objeção da redundância parece sugerida pela própria análise da mimese I. +Se não houver nenhuma experiência humana que não seja mediada por +sistemas simbólicos, dentre os quais as narrativas, parece inútil dizer, como +fizemos, que a ação está em busca da narrativa (1983, p. 113). + +Dentre as críticas que foram feitas a Ricoeur, esta á ainda aquela que mais o +incomodou, no modo como ele a exprimiu, no contexto de uma mesa-redonda, +organizada em consequência da publicação do primeiro volume de Tempo e Narrativa: + +E esta circularidade que constitui, em minha opinião, o problema real. Pode- +se argumentar que, na verdade, eu estou condenado a incluir na noção de +prefiguração o resultado de uma refiguração anterior – porque, efetivamente, +para cada um de nós, aquilo que é prefigurado em nossas vidas resulta das +refigurações operadas por todas as outras vidas daqueles que nos ensinaram. +Mas esse círculo não é um círculo vicioso, porque ainda existe promoção de +sentidos, avanço de sentidos, desde o incoativo até o plenamente determinado +(Ricoeur in Carr, Taylor, Ricoeur, 1985, p. 317-318). + +Ricoeur responde, assim, à objeção de redundância mencionando a existência de uma +narrativa “incoativa” que seria inscrita nas histórias ainda não contadas de nossas vidas. +Em Tempo e Narrativa, para ilustrar essa narratividade incoativa, isto é, esta narrativa +em nascimento, Ricoeur menciona especialmente os exemplos da psicanálise e os casos +jurídicos, que eram situações existenciais que envolviam a busca por uma narrativa bem +sustentada ou por uma versão dos fatos aceitáveis que emergem dos acontecimentos. +Nesta curta passagem, que é crucial para a continuação de sua argumentação, Ricoeur +refere-se em particular à noção de complexidade passiva nas histórias, tal como ela foi +desenvolvida pelo filósofo alemão Wilhelm Schapp (1992). Para Schapp, com efeito, “a +história ‘acontece’ para alguém antes de quem quer que seja a conte” (Ricoeur, 1983, p. +114). Neste ponto, Ricoeur parece incomodado pela ideia de que existiriam histórias +ainda não contadas. “As histórias não são contadas por definição?” ele se pergunta, mas +acrescenta: “isso é indiscutível se falamos de histórias reais. Mas a noção de história +potencial é aceitável?” (1983, p. 114). Para desenvolver esse conceito, Ricoeur retorna à +ideia de que existiria um “pré-histórico” ou um “plano” que anteciparia as narrativas +propriamente ditas: + +Este pano-de-fundo é constituído pela « sobreposição viva » de todas as +histórias vividas umas dentro de outras. Portanto é preciso que as histórias +contadas “emerjam” (Auftauchen) deste plano de fundo. [...] Contar, seguir, + +     +17 +compreender as histórias, não é senão a “continuação” dessas histórias não +ditas (1983, p. 115). + +Infelizmente, Ricoeur não desenvolve a análise do que poderia ser exatamente +essa “sobreposição viva” nas “histórias vividas”, “potenciais” ou “incoativas”, e ele não +busca mais definir esse processo de emergência associado com a “mise em intrigue”. +No máximo ele parece insitir sobre o entrelaçamento de uma pluralidade de histórias a +partir da qual deveria emergir, por contraste ou por seleção de um ponto de vista, a +narrativa propriamente dita. Neste caso, podemos fazer diversas perguntas. +Primeiramente, por que não religar essa relação passiva às “histórias que +acontecem conosco”, com uma forma de narrativa mental, ao mesmo tempo cognitiva e +emocional, ou seja, ligada à experiência de um acontecimento que nos afeta (pathos- +distentio) e ao qual nós respondemos com a nossa ação (práxis-intentio)? Ricoeur talvez +tenha reconhecido que essa forma de compreensão da narrativa de eventos que (nos) +acontecem e das ações que produzimos não é radicalmente diferente das narrativas, +reais ou fictícias, que expressamos na forma de palavras ou escritos. Isso permitiria +entender melhor a natureza daquilo que Ricoeur designa como o pano-de-fundo vivo ou +a pré-história da narrativa, mas também a forma como as narrativas expressas +(oralmente, por escrituras ou segundo outras modalidades) se distinguem ou, pelo +contrário, prolongam as histórias vividas e a maneira como experimentamos os eventos +que nos acontecem. +Além disso, podemos nos perguntar se esta narrativa incoativa não +corresponderia precisamente a esta experimentação do tempo que a fenomenologia +procura descrever. Na perspectiva que é a sua, não é igualmente tão surpreendente que +Schapp situe suas proposições na continuidade dos conceitos fenomenológicos +desenvolvidos por Husserl e, sobretudo, por Heidegger. No entanto, em nenhum +momento Ricoeur parece inclinado a enfatizar o parentesco dessas questões. Ao abordar +os paradoxos da fenomenologia do tempo nos primeiros capítulos do terceiro volume de +Tempo e Narrativa, ele não faz nenhuma menção aos trabalhos de Schapp, quem no +entanto, estão diretamente no prolongamento desta tradição, e que teriam permitido uma +junção entre a perspectiva filosófica e a poética da narrativa. +O ponto crucial é o seguinte: se existe continuação entre as histórias ainda não +ditas ou ainda não escritas de nossas vidas e as histórias efetivamente contadas, também + +     +18 +não haveria continuação formal entre essas duas formas da narrativa? Não está claro, +portanto, como o recurso da noção de complexidade passiva nas histórias incoativas +permitiria a Ricoeur salvar sua proposição de suspeita de redundância. O círculo vicioso +não poderá ser efetivamente quebrado, a não ser na medida em que Ricoeur seja capaz +de definir a diferença entre o que ele associa à mimese I e à poética da intriga ficcional +ou histórica que ele classifica na mimese II33. Ora, é precisamente a essa tarefa que +Ricoeur vai se engajar, ao longo de sua obra. Na tentativa de demonstrar a característica +“espiral” de seu modelo da tripla mimese, Ricoeur tentará esclarecer, em uma primeira +etapa, o que a mediação narrativa acrescenta à experiência direta do tempo, para, em +seguida tentar aprofundar, em uma segunda etapa, os paradoxos do pensamento +fenomenológico, de maneira a enfatizar, por contraste, o valor das mediações ficcionais +e históricas. É o movimento desta dupla argumentação que agora tentarei descrever +brevemente, acrescentando alguns comentários sobre a questão da identidade narrativa, +que aparece no final do percurso. + +O que a mediação narrativa acrescenta ao tempo + +Entre o primeiro e o terceiro volume de Tempo e Narrativa, o leitor atento +poderá observar uma mudança sensível no argumento de Ricoeur, que se explica +provavelmente por uma dificuldade crescente de mostrar o ganhamos, ao passarmos +pela mediação de uma ficção literária ou de uma narrativa histórica, em comparação +com a “prefiguração” do tempo. Como o enredo de um conto no qual uma falta inicial +deveria ser preenchida por uma busca difícil, Ricoeur enfatiza pela primeira vez a +existência de um paradoxo intransponível que será relacionado à questão do tempo. Mas +ali onde, no primeiro opus, Ricoeur parece insistir especialmente sobre o problema da +“discordância” que se alojaria no fundamento da experiência temporal mais autêntica, +ao qual responderia a “concordância” do mythos, tal como defendido por Aristóteles, o +terceiro opus situa sobretudo a aporia resolvida pela narrativa, do lado da meditação +filosófica. Veremos que se trata de uma nuance essencial que levará a uma mudança +completa da direção não somente da questão, mas também da resposta mimética ao +“problema” do tempo. +                                                                                                                           +3  Para  a  relação  entre  os  trabalhos  de  Schapp  e  a  poética  da  narrativa  desenvolvida  por  Ricoeur,  ver   +Greisch  (1990).  Para  uma  critica  da  tripla  mimese,  ver  também  Baroni  (2009).   + +     +19 + + +A resposta convergente da história e da ficção ao problema da experiência +temporal + +O primeiro capítulo é intitulado, de forma não ambígua, “As aporias da +experiência do tempo”. É, portanto, no nível da experiência, e não no da especulação +filosófica, que a questão será colocada pela primeira vez por Ricoeur. Comentando a +meditação buscada por Agostinho no capítulo XI de suas Confissões, Ricoeur descreve +a situação de uma alma (ou, diríamos hoje, de uma consciência) que seria, então, ao +mesmo tempo pendida intencionalmente para o passado relembrado e para o futuro +projetado, recordando-se e antecipando-se, mas ao mesmo tempo distendida pela +passagem do tempo. Assim, haveria uma consciência memorial, atencional e +antecipatória que procuraria mensurar o tempo, para lhe conferir uma extensão, ou seja, +uma forma da qual dependeria o ser do tempo. Com efeito, Agostinho postula que o +tempo, uma vez mensurável, deve ter uma existência objetiva, pois “não podemos medir +aquilo que não é” (1983, p.30) + +A questão é, portanto, circunscrita: como o tempo pode ser, se o passado já +não é, se o futuro ainda não é e se o presente nem sempre é? A este paradoxo +inicial se soma o paradoxo central de onde sairá o tema da distensão. Como +podemos medir aquilo que não é? O paradoxo da medição é diretamente +gerado pelo paradoxo da existência do tempo (Ricoeur, 1983, p. 23). + +Existe, portanto, uma forma de impossibilidade, ou pelo menos uma essencial +dificuldade, em responder à pergunta do “ser” do tempo. “O que é o tempo?”, pergunta- +se Agostinho: a resposta parece ser a de que o tempo é o reverso do ser, um movimento +pelo qual uma pessoa se torna consciente da transitoriedade do que está acontecendo, do +que vai acontecer, do que já aconteceu. A dificuldade está na resposta que consiste em +dizer que aquilo que se mantem (manet), aquilo que registrou a passagem do tempo de +uma forma extensiva – e, portanto, mensurável – seria uma consciência que articula +perspectivas temporais, que se lembra, que projeta e que é atento à passagem do tempo. +Mas aí, ainda, nos é difícil imaginar esta consciência tensa e distendida, ao mesmo +tempo enraizada em um momento presente que lhe espaca, recordando o passado e se +projetando no futuro, uma consciência passiva que seria atenta à passagem do tempo e, + +     +20 +ao mesmo tempo, uma consciência ativa que articularia intencionalmente as +perspectivas temporais a partir das quais o tempo pode ser mensurado. +Para Agostinho, a solução final só pode ser o registro das operações da +consciência em um tempo já cumprido ou formado, ou seja, na onisciência do ponto de +vista divino. Mas esta inscrição do tempo vivido no tempo eterno é, obviamente, +inacessível à experiência, ela não aparecerá além do fim do tempo e depende apenas da +esperança daquele que crê4 +. Para Ricoeur, a unidade do muthos trágico defendido por +Aristóteles parece oferecer uma alternativa a esta solução baseada na eternidade divina e +na esperança do crente. No caso de Aristóteles, a resposta não é mais teológica, mas +poética: na narrativa bem formada pelo poeta, o tempo já está objetivamente +circunscrito na obra concluída, ele já está configurado em uma totalidade (holos) +possuindo seu começo, seu meio e seu fim5. A consciência tenso-distendida do leitor +não teria mais do que contar com a mediação da obra e reescrever a discordância +experimental do tempo na concordância poética da narrativa. +Nesta primeira parte de seu argumento, Ricoeur insiste por consequência na +convergência entre os diferentes gêneros escritos tomando o modo da narrativa, seja +para descrever a realidade passada ou para construir um mundo imaginário. Ele diz que +há uma “identidade estrutural entre a historiografia e a narrativa de ficção” e uma +“profunda relação entre a exigência da verdade de ambos os modos narrativos” (1983, +p.17). Aqui a capacidade referencial indireta da trama deve ser entendida, na mesma +linha do poder do enunciado metafórico, como aquilo que permite “descrever uma +                                                                                                                           +4  Alguns  filósofos,  como  Hegel  e,  depois  dele,  Francis  Fukuyama,  postularam  que  “a  história  do  mundo   +poderia  ser  pensada  como  um  totalidade  efetuada”  (Ricoeur,  1985,  p.  371)  e  que  nós  poderíamos,   +portanto,  falar  dela  como  de  um  ser  totalmente  realizado.  Ricoeur  afirma  resistir  a  essa  “tentação”,   +embora  confesse  ter  sido  seduzido  pela  “força  do  pensamento”  de  Hegel,  e  que  o  abandono  de  sua   +perspectiva  é  uma  ferida  “que  não  pode  ser  curada”  (1985,  p.  372):  “o  passo  que  não  podemos  mais   +dar,  é  o  que  iguala  ao  presente  eterno  a  capacidade  que  o  presente  atual  tem  de  manter  o  passado   +conhecido  e  antecipar  o  futuro  desenhado  nas  tendências  do  passado.  A  própria  noção  da  história  é   +abolida  pela  filosofia,  quando  o  presente,  combinado  com  o  efetivo,  abole  sua  diferença  em  relação  ao   +passado”  (1985,  p.  368-­‐369).   +5  Deve-­‐se  notar,  de  passagem,  que  esta  interpretação  da  “mise  en  intrigue”  como  processo  de  totaliação   +de  um  acontecimento  que  seria  em  si  mesmo  disforme  é  questionável,  na  medida  em  que  Aristóteles   +situa,  de  saída,  a  unidade  no  objeto,  a  representação  não  fazendo  mais  do  que  imitar  aquilo  que  já   +forma  um  todo  no  mundo,  como  a  escultura  ou  a  pintura  que  forçosamente  reproduzem  a  unidade  do   +corpo  e  não  suas  partes:  “Assim  como  as  outras  artes  de  imitação,  a  unidade  de  imitação  resulta  da   +unidade  do  objeto,  também  a  história  –  já  que  ela  é  imitação  das  ações  –  deve  ser  imitação  de  uma  ação   +una  e  formando  um  todo”  (Aristóteles,  1451a,  30,  grifo  nosso).  Citação  a  partir  da  tradução  de  Michel   +Magnien  (1990,  p.  98).   + +     +21 +realidade inacessível à descrição direta” (1983, p.13). Em uma famosa passagem da +introdução de Tempo e Narrativa, Ricoeur anunciou qual será seu o programa: + +Eu vejo nas intrigas que inventamos o meio privilegiado pelo qual nós +reconfiguramos nossa experiência temporal confusa, disforme e, no limite, +muda: “Qual é então o tempo, pergunta Agostinho? Se ninguém me pergunta, +eu sei; se alguém pergunta e eu quero explicar, eu não sei.” É na capacidade +da ficção de refigurar esta experiência temporal cercada por paradoxos da +especulação filosófica que reside a função referencial da intriga (1983, p.13). + +Vemos aqui a necessidade de dar forma àquilo que é assinalado de início como +uma experiência do “disforme”, ou da transformação. Mas esta forma da transformação +parece fornecida pelo repertório das intrigas literárias ou históricas, na medida em que, +na leitura, a experiência temporal apenas atualizará uma história já formada, já escrita +em um livro por um inventor de intrigas. +Então, é esse caráter já formado do livro que parece garantir a concordância da +experiência refigurada, salvo que, neste ponto de flexão da análise de Tempo e +Narrativa, não se deve simplificar o problema, recobrindo-o por uma um excesso de +formalismo. Como sublinha Ricoeur, “se o problema da refiguração do tempo pela +narrativa está amarrado na narrativa, não se pode encontrar seu desfecho” (1985, +p.328). É o ato da leitura que constitui o momento essencial da fusão dos horizontes +pelos quais acontecerão as visões referenciais da trama. + +No final, as bibliotecas estão cheias de livros não lidos, cuja configuração é, +portanto bem desenhada, e que não refiguram nada. [...] sem leitor que o +acompanhe, não há ato configurado em curso no texto; e sem leitor adequado, +não há ponto do mundo apresentado no texto (1985, p. 297). + +Assim, o caráter acabado da obra só se revela no movimento progressivo de uma +leitura tendida e, direção a seu desfecho. Esta dependência da configuração narrativa +com o ato da leitura que a atualiza explica porque não pode haver concordância pura, +isto é, configuração desprovida de eventualidades, aventuras ou expectativas. A obra, +ainda em seu ponto final, quando percebemos sua unidade, não pode ser uma forma +pura, pelo contrário, ela é uma formação de sentidos que depende de uma experiência +interpretativa, ela mesma submetida ao tempo da leitura. Como Gérard Genette afirmou +sobre a medição do tempo em uma narrativa literária, “ninguém pode medir a duração +de uma narração. O que se nomeia espontaneamente não pode ser [...] senão o tempo + +     +22 +necessário para lê-lo, mas é muito evidente que o tempo da leitura varia segundo os +acontecimentos particulares” (Genette, 1972, p. 122). Assim, a medição do tempo +definido para uma obra literária não é menos complexa e subjetiva que a mensuracão do +que acontece na vida: a leitura é um evento da vida. A referência objetiva das páginas +contesta a referência dos relógios e dos calendários, bem como à sensação da duração +da história contada se refere à sensação da duração daquilo que (nos) acontece. A única +diferença está na interpretação da diminuição da espessura das páginas que restam a ler, +que aparecem como um presságio de um desfecho iminente, ainda que na vida também +haja presságios de fechamento: por exemplo, o tempo de um evento esportivo depende +de uma regra e um cronômetro, e o prazo de uma eleição concorrida ou de uma prova +difícil são definidos por uma agenda constitucional ou por um calendário escolar. Em +última análise, é a natureza da “coerência final” (Ricoeur 1983, p.104) que parece ser o +elemento determinante para afirmar a diferença essencial entre a trama literária e a +vida6. + +A resposta divergente da história e da ficção sobre o problema especulativo acerca +do tempo + +David Carr, no debate em torno da publicação do primeiro volume de Tempo e +Narrativa, já havia apontado o problema crucial que marcaria a principal mudança no +pensamento de Ricoeur no final da sua trilogia. Ele se pergunta sobre a questão +fundamental a respeito de saber se a perplexidade evocada por Agostinho concerne +efetivamente à experiência do tempo, ou, sobretudo, acerca de um problema +exclusivamente especulativo; donde surge a questão de saber em a que consiste +precisamente a resposta da solução poética evocada por Ricoeur: + +Mais do que descrever a discordância no nível da experiência, Agostinho não +teria oposto à compreensão que surge da experiência a incompreensão gerada +pela teoria? “O que é então o tempo? Se ninguém me faz a pergunta, eu sei” +diz ele. E ele poderia ter acrescentado ainda: e sei perfeitamente. Eu gerencio +o passado e o futuro, eu planejo minhas ações com base em minhas +experiências passadas, e assim por diante. É somente quando tentamos +explicar o tempo, quando tentamos aprender com os conceitos lógicos ou +ontológicos, que nós nos perdemos. A palavra aporie (aporia), utilizada aqui +                                                                                                                           +6  Sobre  esse  assunto,  Ricoeur  se  refere,  em  particular,  ao  trabalho  de  Kermode,  O  sentido  de  um  final   +(1967).   + +     +23 +por Ricoeur, significa, originalmente, uma dificuldade teórica, e não prática. +[...] A experiência prática apresenta muitas dificuldades. Mas a natureza +paradoxal do tempo realmente faz parte dela? (Carr, Taylor e Ricoeur, 1985, +p; 310-311, tradução livre) + +Quando ele reconhece, como eu já havia comentado, que o caráter concordante- +discordante é igualmente o apanágio das histórias que nos acontecem, assim como +daquelas que são reais ou ficcionais e que contamos ou lemos, Ricoeur trabalha em uma +mudança crucial na reflexão sobre a relação entre o tempo e a narrativa. O que era +apresentado como uma exploração das relações dialéticas entre uma experiência +temporal e sua reconfiguração narrativa, se torna uma questão que envolve, na verdade, +paradoxos gerados pelo pensamento especulativo. Nesse novo contexto, a solução +poética trazida pelas narrativas históricas e de ficção é dirigida a um problema próprio +da tradição metafísica da filosofia ocidental, e especialmente à questão ontológica. Aqui +o que é abertamente criticado é a falta de resposta fenomenológica à questão de “ser” do +tempo. Ricoeur volta às reflexões subjetivas sobre o tempo de Agostinho, de Husserl ou +de Heidegger, sob o ponto de vista objetivista de Aristóteles ou de Kant. Ele denuncia o +equilíbrio impossível de se manter entre o tempo subjetivo do fenômeno e o tempo +objetivo da física, entre o tempo do “eu” e o tempo do “nós”, entre a experiência +“passiva” do tempo em que somos jogados e a experiência “ativa” do tempo projetado. +Em suma, haveria, segundo Ricoeur, uma dificuldade intransponível para articular as +dimensões incompatíveis, mas necessárias na meditação sobre o tempo, um impasse ao +qual responderia a “solução poética” das narrativas históricas e de ficção. De acordo +com Ricoeur, se se tenta entrar em um desses aspectos (objetivo ou subjetivo, coletivo +ou individual, passivo ou ativo), se ocultaria o outro termo da dialética, enquanto as +narrativas históricas ou de ficção seriam ou uma reescrita da história humana no tempo +cósmico, ou uma exposição dos paradoxos da reflexão sobre o tempo que a +fenomenologia tende a ocultar. +De saída, é a escritura histórica que parece a mais provável de reatar os laços +entre as perspectivas irreconciliáveis dos filósofos, uma vez que, por definição, ela +produz uma narrativa coletiva e não individual, uma narrativa que busca uma +objetividade além da subjetividade do ponto de vista: + +Ora, a história revela a princípio sua capacidade criativa de refiguração do +tempo pela invenção, pela invenção e uso de determinados instrumentos do + +     +24 +pensamento tais como o calendário, a ideia da suíte das gerações e aquela +outra, conexa, do triplo reino dos contemporâneos, predecessores e +sucessores, enfim e sobretudo, pelo recurso aos arquivos, aos documentos e +aos vestigios. Estes instrumentos do pensamento são tão notáveis que agem +como conectores entre o tempo vivido e o tempo universal. A tal título, eles +atestam a função poética da história, e trabalham para resolver os paradoxos +do tempo (Ricoeur 1985, p. 189). + +Para Ricoeur, a escrita da história permite, portanto, a criação de um “terceiro- +tempo” que ele define como a “reintegração do tempo fenomenológico sobre o tempo +cósmico” (1985, p.229). Quanto à ficção, ela proporia um “contraponto ao mundo +histórico” oferecendo aquilo a que Ricoeur chama de “variações imaginativas”que +seriam “experiências fictícias do tempo” (1985, p.229). A função deste modo narrativo +seria, portanto, exibir desde então os limites da meditação filosófica sobre o tempo, que +seria condenado a ocultar o caráter aporético das suas soluções especulativas: + +O paradoxo, com o tempo, é que a mesma análise revela uma aporia e oculta +seu caráter aporético sob o tipo ideal de sua resolução, o qual não é trazido à +luz, enquanto eidos que rege a análise, mas pelas variações imaginativas +sobre o mesmo tema da aporia (Ricoeur, 1985, p. 248). + +Vê-se aqui que essa não é a única questão que mudou ao longo do caminho, +sendo também a natureza da resposta que difere: o foco não está mais no poder +“configurante” das narrativas históricas e fictícias. Enquanto que no primeiro volume +Ricoeur insistia na convergência das narrativas históricas e fictícias, agora ele enfatiza +“a assimetria entre os dois grandes modos narrativos” (1985, p. 247), pois eles trariam +respostas diferentes a um novo problema: aquele da aporia filosófica7. Longe de propor +uma solução poética colocando ordem no caos da experiência, a ficção teria agora como +tarefa descobrir os pontos cegos na reflexão fenomenológica, e, assim, expor as +deficiências de suas respostas ideais. Tratar-se-ia, dessa forma, de uma mediação para +desmascarar a discordancia temporal que se aloja no cruzamento da concordância mais +ordenada, como uma falha irreparável. A conclusão de Ricoeur parece, aqui, +surpreendentemente contraditória com o movimento que inspirou o primeiro volume de +Tempo e narrativa, já que a narrativa de ficção não aparece mais como uma resposta +correspondente a uma suposta discordância que caracterizaria a experiência pré- +                                                                                                                           +7  A  divergência  entre  a  narrativa  de  ficção  e  a  historiografia  será  aprofundada  por  Ricoeur  em  A   +Memória,  a  história,  o  esquecimento,  já  que  a  escrita  histórica  se  tornará  parte  da  reconfiguração  (como   +leitura  de  fontes)  e  não  da  configuração.   + +     +25 +narrativa do tempo, mas bem como a expressão mais brilhante do caráter intransponível +da dialética da concordância-discordância: + +[É] na literatura ficcional onde são exploradas, principalmente, as inúmeras +formas em que a intentio e a distentio confrontam e concordam entre si. +Nisto, essa literatura é o instrumento indispensável da exploração da +concordância discordante que constitui a coesão de uma vida (1985, p.248- +249). + +Aqui a perspectiva mudou completamente agora: Ricoeur admite que a +“concordância discordante já era na época o nome de um fenômeno a ser resolvido e de +sua solução ideal” (1985, p.248). Chegado a este ponto, ele afirma que nada foi +conseguido passando de um problema existencial para sua formulação narrativa, o +tempo vivido não se tornou o tempo humano graças à mediação da narrativa literária, +mas ele sempre já foi. No entanto, a trama contada através de ficção contribuiria com a +exibição das lacunas de outro tipo de discurso: o discurso filosófico com suas soluções +especulativas, pretendidas, para o problema do tempo8. A solução para o problema +filosófico de pertencer ao tempo não existiria, mas a indecisão desse enigma seria, +contudo, contável pela narrativa da ficção, aí estando o que poderia ser, em seu estado +final, a tese defendida por Tempo e Narrativa. + +A resposta cruzada da história e da ficção ao problema de identidade + +Apesar de, ou talvez por causa desse impasse na conclusão de sua trilogia, +Ricoeur opera uma última mudança que dará origem a um novo anexo para a teoria da +tripla mimese. Ricoeur afirma que a dialética da interação entre a história e a ficção +“seria nela mesma um sinal da inadequação da poética à aporética, se não nascesse desta +fecundação uma prole” (1985, p.442). Nas páginas finais de sua obra, Ricoeur parece +                                                                                                                           +8  Nesta  segunda  parte  da  reflexão  ricoeuriana,  o  capítulo  intitulado  “Mundo  do  texto  e  mundo  do  leitor”   +constitui  certamente  uma  das  melhores  passagens  de  Tempo  e  narrativa,  de  um  lado  pela  síntese  que   +propõe  das  perspectivas  sobre  o  ato  da  leitura  muitas  vezes  disjuntas  ou  concorrentes  (retórica,  poética   +e  estética),  e  principalmente  por  causa  de  seu  desafio,  que  é  reinserir  a  leitura  no  mundo  da  ação.   +Abandonando  temporariamente  a  problemática  específica  da  experiência  temporal  e  seus  paradoxos,   +vamos  desenhar-­‐se  uma  questão  muito  maior,  a  saber,  que  o  ciclo  da  tripla  mimese  levanta  a  questão   +da  inclusão  da  poética  narrativa  em  um  mundo  do  qual  ela  emerge  (como  dispositivo  intencional  de  um   +autor)  e  para  a  qual  ele  retorna  transformando  o  leitor.   + +     +26 +descobrir um novo problema que poderia contestar a poética das narrativas históricas e +ficcionais: o problema da identidade. + +Sem a ajuda da narrativa, o problema da identidade pessoal está realmente +comprometido com uma contradição sem solução: ou se coloca um sujeito +idêntico a ele mesmo na diversidade dos seus estados, ou se sustenta, +segundo Hume e Nietzsche, que esse sujeito idêntico é apenas uma ilusão +substancial, cuja eliminação não deixa aparecer mais que puras cognições, +emoções, volições. O dilema desaparece se, da identidade entendida no +sentido de um mesmo (idem), se substitui a identidade entendida no sentido +de um ser-ele mesmo (ipse), a diferença entre idem e ipse não sendo outra +senão a diferença entre uma identidade substancial ou formal e a identidade +narrativa. A ipseidade pode escapar do dilema do Mesmo e do Outro, à +medida em que sua identidade é baseada em uma estrutura temporal, de +acordo com o modelo de identidade dinâmica seguido de uma composição +poética de um texto narrativo. Diferente da identidade abstrata do Mesmo, a +identidade narrativa, constitutiva da individualidade, pode incluir a mudança, +a mutabilidade, na coesão de uma vida. O sujeito aparece então constituído +tanto como leitor como escritor de sua própria vida, segundo Proust (1985, p. +443). + +A noção de identidade narrativa, da qual Ricoeur foi um dos promotores mais +influentes, teve, como sabemos, um sucesso fenomenal, e constitui hoje um paradigma +que Galen Strawson (2004) pôde descrever como um lugar comum questionável9 + e +James Phelan (2005) cunhou de imperialismo narrativo. Sem entrar em detalhes sobre +as críticas que lhe poderiam ser direcionadas, o que deveria surpreender à primeira vista +na proposição de Ricoeur é que, ao colocar essa problemática no prolongamento de sua +reflexão anterior, ele associa a identidade aos gêneros da ficção literária e da +historiografia, ao invés de a ancorar no gênero da autobiografia. Encontramo-nos aqui +em um patamar a partir do qual se pode perguntar se “história” e “ficção” não se +tornaram, afinal, simples metáforas para descrever dois aspectos inerentes a qualquer +narrativa factual, que implica uma relação de fidelidade à memória e aos vestígios do +passado, mobilizando uma forma de criatividade imaginativa que permite uma +reconstrução permanente da identidade em função das questões do presente. Isto é o que +sugere a passagem seguinte: + +A este respeito, pode-se dizer que, na troca de papéis entre a história e a +ficção, o componente histórico da narrativa sobre si mesmo assume o lado de +uma crônica submetida aos mesmos controles documentários que qualquer +                                                                                                                           +9  Strawson  (2004)  se  interroga  notadamente  sobre  o  ponto  de  saber  se  todas  as  identidades  seriam   +realmente  narrativas  e  se  não  seria  necessário  deixar  um  lugar  para  as  identidades  ocasionais,  pouco   +interessadas  em  registrar  a  existência  na  configuração  de  uma  grande  narrativa  de  si.   + +     +27 +outra narração histórica, ao passo que o componente ficcional toma o lado +das variações imaginativas que desestabilizam a identidade narrativa (1985, +p.446). + +Deveríamos, então, compreender tudo sobre as proposições de Ricoeur sobre a +ficção e sobre a história como uma reflexão sobre os “componentes” históricos e +ficcionais que estariam em toda a narrativa, quer se trate de uma autobiografia ou +qualquer outro gênero narrativo? Isto certamente não é o que parecia prefigurar a maior +parte de Tempo e Narrativa. Qualquer que seja a validade da hipótese de Ricoeur sobre +a identidade narrativa, cuja exploração será transportada a um desenvolvimento +posterior de sua obra, este último ressurgimento na trama da tríplice mimese apenas +destaca a dificuldade de fundamentar a quesão à qual responderiam as narrativas e seus +limites (literários?) que tratam de assinalar à segunda mimese para distingui-la daquilo +que a precede. + +Por uma poética comparada das tramas + +Parece-me que o problema central da teoria desenvolvida em Tempo e Narrativa +vem do fato de que a obra parte de uma intuição discutível, e que Ricoeur, +gradativamente, tomando consciência dos problemas causados por essa intuição infeliz, +não deixou de deslocar tanto a solução quanto a formulação do problema, sem conseguir +encontrar um lugar onde ele pudesse fixa-los. Esta intuição infeliz concerne à esperança +de que a problemática exposta em A Metáfora Viva pudesse ser estendida ao campo da +poética da narrativa. A armadilha é que o funcionamento da metáfora se difere +significativamente da mise en intrigue, de modo que nenhum deles se enraiza da mesma +forma no seio da experiência. Como “tropo”, a metáfora “viva” (a que ainda não foi +fixada em um repertório socialmente compartilhado) depende necessariamente de uma +mudança no uso normal da linguagem, assinalando, por definição, um limite ou uma +diferença semântica. Assim, é possível definir uma relação dinâmica entre a experiência +de um evento único, ou de um objeto estranho que vai além das estruturas herdadas da +tradição, e a criação posterior de uma nova forma de linguagem, que permitirá +preencher o déficit da língua por uma criatividade poética da fala. +Será que acontece o mesmo com a experiência temporal e a narrativa? Podemos +duvidar disto, na medida em que a experiência mais primitiva, assim como Ricoeur a + +     +28 +reconhece progressivamente, já parece presa nas armadilhas de uma narratividade +incoativa que não é radicalmente diferente da que foi gerada pela poética literária. Essa +narratividade em formação, mistura de concordância e a discordância, de intenção e +distensão, de forma e transformação, não seria portanto essencialmente diferente da +intriga literária ou histórica mais acabada. Em outras palavras, o problema decorrem do +fato de que a diferença entre a linguagem que molda a experiência e o discurso poético +que se renova é menos fácil de ser demonstrado quando se trata de intrigas do que no +caso de tropos. +Se podemos realmente “tomar a narrativa como o guardião do tempo, na +medida em que ele não seria o tempo pensado mas contato” (1985, p.435), ainda é +necessário determinar o significado exato do termo “contar”: é o que se “conta” quando +já estamos atentos à passagem do tempo, por exemplo, quando um evento importante +nos acontece, ou quando nos lembramos ou nos projetamos para o futuro? Existiria algo +que se enquadrasse antes da narrativa interior? Seríamos capazes de ter experiências +temporais a serem realizadas fora de toda temporalidade articulada narrativamente? Se +este não é o caso, então a tríplice mimese deveria dar o lugar a uma poética comparada +dos gêneros narrativos. Estes gêneros cobrem um grande espectro: a narração do +historiador, colocado sob o signo da fidelidade ao passado, se distingue, geralmente, da +narrativa de ficção, que visa intrigar, e esses dois modos narrativos também diferem das +narrativas midiáticas ou conversacionais. Trata-se também de distinguir as +características próprias às narrativas endereçadas a outros padrões cognitivos +mobilizados dentro da expectativa direta que nós temos das histórias que nos +acontecem. Existem, naturalmente, diferenças significativas nestes vários modos de +articular concordância e discordância, mas as nuances só podem ser entendidas à +medida em que se tem por dado que uma determinada forma de narratividade +concordante-discordante já articula sempre o evento tal como ele se manifesta na +experiência mais direta10. +O que se torna essencial nessa poética comparada são os critérios contextuais +(sócio-históricos) que definem os objetivos pragmáticos particulares e que produzem as +constrições formais singulares durante a constituição das narrativas, igualmente +condicionando a percepção e o uso das narrativas em circulação. Colocaremos em +                                                                                                                           +10  Para  esboçar  uma  tipologia  deste  gênero,  veja  Baroni  (2009  p.  85-­‐91).  Sobre  a  experiencialidade  da   +história,  veja  também  Carr  (2010  p.  83-­‐94).   + +     +29 +evidência, por exemplo, seguindo a tipologia de Genette, as diferenças que existem +entre as narrações anterior, posterior, simultânea ou intercalada no curso da história; se +perguntará se o evento contado é real (o que implica uma fidelidade aos vestígios do +evento) ou imaginário (o que libera esta limitação), se ele é contado para si mesmo ou +para outrem, e se tentamos, quanto o contamos, explicar ou, pelo contrário, reproduzir a +dimensão passional. Será necessário, naturalmente, levar em contar uma história dos +gêneros narrativos e, no caso da literatura, da profundidade do estilo, de sua criatividade +poética, que podemos considerar como um elemento determinando na elevação da +espiral narrativa (Macé, 2010, p. 262). Mas é preciso acrescentar que esta verticalidade +do estilo pode muito bem estar tanto a serviço da concordância quanto da discordância, +uma vez que ela pode servir para melhorar a legibilidade do mundo, para aumentar a sua +importância, assim como pode visar desestabilizar a leitura, nos arrancar do cotidiano, +para iniciar este processo de estrangeirização que Chklovski associava às obras de arte. +Põe-se, assim, a questão do lugar que a literatura ocupa no amplo sentido do +processo de renovação dos quadros da experiência. Mais uma vez é David Carr quem +formula esta questão: + +Uma última questão pode ser formulada voltando à afirmação que “o tempo +se torna tempo humano à medida que ele é articulado de forma narrativa”. +Isto quer dizer que esta articulação deve, necessariamente, assumir a forma +de produções literárias, ou mesmo, em termos gerais, os textos? Isto pareceria +juntar a afirmação de que a vida não poderia ser vivida sem a literatura. +Recebemos, afinal, uma interpretação mais plausível da passagem se +adotamos o ponto de vista já defendido, de que a narrativa não é somente um +modo de discurso, mas, mais importante, um modo de vida, e mesmo o modo +da vida (Carr, Taylor e Ricoeur, 1985, p. 311, tradução livre). + +De fato, a experiência de uma possível sobrecarga que afeta o sujeito é um +evento que ocorre todos os dias e que, deste ponto de vista, torna caducas as narrativas +passadas e carrega a exigência da gênese de novas intrigas. Neste sentido, pode-se +admitir que há sempre avanço do sentido e espiral ascendente entre as narrativas do +passado e as novas narrativas em formação, porque o tempo não faz nada além de se +repetir. A noção de “narrativa incoativa” baseia-se justamente no limite das narrativas +passadas que, frente ao inédito, exigem a criação de uma nova narrativa. Mas teria +Ricoeur razão, em sua resposta a Carr, de insistir sobre o papel da literatura nesse +processo de simbolização? + +     +30 + +Você me pergunta se é preciso então que a vida seja entendida através da +literatura; eu responderia que sim – em uma grande medida. Porque a vida +« nua » está fora de alcance, pela simples razão de que não nascemos em um +mundo de crianças, mas que, enquanto crianças não falantes, chegamos a um +mundo já falante, pleno portanto de todas as histórias já contadas por nossos +antecessores. Assim, como eu disse na descrição da fase de prefiguração que +chamei de mimese I, a ação já está simbolicamente mediada; a literatura, no +sentido mais amplo da palavra, incluindo a história, bem como a ficção, +reforçam um processo de simbolização já em obra (Ricoeur in Carr, Taylor, +Ricoeur, 1985, p.317-318). + +Por que não integrar neste “mundo falante”, que dá forma à vida, os “processos +de simbolização” que dependem das nossas conversações, das histórias que lemos na +imprensa, das que ouvimos no rádio, das que assistimos na televisão, e mesmo estas +histórias que se desenrolam nas nossas cartas, nos nossos diários, ou a privacidade dos +nossos pensamentos mais secretos, nos nossos sonhos e nos planos engenhosos, nas +nossas esperanças e temores, na nostalgia e nos arrependimentos? Não é senão +ocasionalmente que as obras literárias ou os trabalhos de historiadores vêm em nosso +auxílio, nos fornecendo formas narrativas que moldam nossa experiência vivida: como +quando dizemos que ele viveu seu Waterloo ou que ele luta contra os moinhos de vento. +Essa restrição do princípio que confina o processo criativo da “mise en intrigue” apenas +para os gêneros literários - esse privilégio concedido ao “livro” como um lugar único de +renovação das formas simbólicas – não pode ser explicado de outra forma senão pela +fidelidade de Ricoeur à tradição hermenêutica a qual ele se refere. + +Venturas e Desventuras do legado de Ricoeur + +A má-compreensão da complexidade da teoria de Ricoeur engendrou muitas +derivas tais que, se sob alguns pontos de vista, são justificáveis em si mesmos, possuíam +ainda, no entanto, a vantagem de não se apoiarem sobre um legado mal assumido ou +mal compreendido. Para salvar a coerência de uma tese que é, na verdade, carregada de +numerosas discrepâncias, a tendência foi, naturalmente, uma simplificação de Tempo e +Narrativa: inisistiu-se frequentemente, na caricatura feita do primeiro momento da +teoria ricoeuriana, no papel configurante da narrativa, que contrastava com uma +experiência que se punha sob a marca do disforme ou do indizível. Essa tendência, que +é consistente com um paradigma construtivista em voga nas ciências sociais, tem levado + +     +31 +não raro a uma leitura relativista de Ricoeur. Assim, caímos em um dos dois precipícios +que ele denuncia: aquele que consiste em considerar a vida como um disforme absoluto +e as respostas poéticas consideradas como pura ficção. Da perspectiva da análise crítica +do discurso, é possível afirmar, por exemplo, “a impossível transparência” da mídia +(Charaudeau, 2005) ou, ao contrário, enfatizar o perigo de dissolução do sentido face a +aceleração do fluxo de informações e às modalidades da narrativa direta (Lits, 1995). +Além disso, pode-se observar uma tendência, em minha opinião bastante +legítima, ao desejo de integrar à segunda mimese uma narratividade transgenérica e +transmidiática, o que conduz a generalizar a proposição de Ricoeur sobre as narrativas +não somente midiáticas, mas também orais e conversacionais (Bres, 1994). Se +continuássemos este movimento de generalização até integrar ao processo de “mise en +intrigue”, os trabalhos atuais que tratam da apreensão cognitiva das ações e dos +acontecimentos11, não haveria mais, portanto, razão para refletir sobre o que está na +mimese II, uma vez que a mimese I, se considerada como uma modalidade prénarrativa +da experiência, seria completamente esvaziada de seu conteúdo. +Parece-me que a melhor maneira de quebrar o ciclo vicioso da tríplice mimese +implica em abandonar esse modelo, ou aindae, de restringi-lo ao alcance de uma +simples expressão, no campo da narratividade, originária do círculo hermenêutico. Se +seguirmos esta última opção, faremos da primeira mimese um horizonte de expectativa +com base tanto em uma semântica da ação12 + quanto no conhecimento intertextual de +todas as historias já lidas, já ouvidas ou já vividas13. Parece, portanto, necessário não +confundir, mesmo com Ricoeur nos convidando a isto, os três componentes do círculo +hermenêutico que definem a experiência de leitura (III) a partir da fusão dos horizontes +do leitor (I) e do texto (II), com a dialética que envolve um problema temporal (seja de +natureza experimental, filosófica ou identitário) e uma resposta narrativa exigindo um +processo criativo da “mise en intrigue”. De acordo com a lógica do círculo +hermenêutico, o horizonte da espera e o horizonte do texto constituem apenas prévias da +experiência estética, e não, experiências propriamente ditas. Em relação à reflexão sobre +                                                                                                                           +11  Veja,  por  exemplo,  Herman  (2003).   +12  Em  um  estudo  particularmente  bem  sucedido,  Bertrand  Gervais  (1990)  explora  especificamente  essa   +vertente  da  semântica  da  ação  (que  é  um  pré-­‐requisito  para  a  leitura)  trazendo  o  conceito  de  tripla   +mimese  com  os  trabalhos  em  psicologia  cognitiva  e  inteligência  artificial.   +13  Veja,  por  exemplo,  os  capítulos  que  eu  consagro,  ao  cruzar  os  trabalhos  de  Gervais  com  aqueles  de   +Genette,  das  habilidades  “endo-­‐narrativa”  e  “transtextuais”  (2007,  p.  161-­‐249).   + +     +32 +os diferentes tipos de mimese envolvidos no tempo humano, devemos manter uma +poética comparada dos gêneros narrativos, em cujo seio a história e a ficção não +representam mais do que duas modalidades dentre outras, trabalhadas por subespécies +genéricas complexas. +Além disso, para compreender as diferentes nuances da meditação recoeuriana +sobre a relação entre tempo e narrativa – que, na verdade, correspondem a diferentes +momentos que devemos concluir como incapazes de concordar retrospectivamente no +resultado de sua trilogia – deve-se tentar distinguir os passos que conduzem do +problema da experiência temporal para o deslizamento sobre os paradoxos da reflexão +fenomenológica sobre o tempo, para finalmente chegar ao paradoxo da identidade. Em +paralelo a esse movimento, deve-se observar a ambiguidade da resposta “poética”, por +sua vez, apresentada como uma forma de “mise em intrigue” para reconfigurar a +experiência, em seguida como a criação de um terceiro tempo historiográfico ou +variações imaginativas sobre um problema sem solução, e finalmente como a geração +de uma identidade dinâmica. +Dificilmente nos surpreenderemos, dentre aqueles que se reivindicaram como +herdeiros da problemática articulada em Tempo e Narrativa, por ver desaparecer quase +completamente a reflexão sobre os paradoxos que geram a meditação fenomenológica +sobre o tempo, uma vez que esta questão ontológica é desprovida de lugar nos campos +disciplinares nos quais a tripla mimese prosperou: literatura, análise do discurso, +sociolinguística, psicologia, etc. Deve-se, portanto, reconhecer que, em qualquer +diálogo interdisciplinar, existem perspectivas e pontos cegos para cada interlocutor, e os +interesses do filósofo não são os mesmos dos historiadores, dos literários ou dos +linguistas. Não nos esqueçamos, se não desejamos trair os pensamentos, de que Ricoeur +foi principalmente um filósofo antes de se tornar um poeta ou um teórico da escrita da +história. +Se, ao contrário do problema filosófico do pertencer ao tempo, o problema da +identidade tem sido uma imensa fortuna na posteridade ricoeuriana, é que +provavelmente nossa época é a da crise de identidades, tanto individuais quanto +coletivas, crise a qual Ricoeur se opunha, em uma dialética “bem-humorada”, uma +“mise en intrigue” preservando a relação misteriosa entre concordância e discordância. +Mais uma vez, dependentes do primeiro momento da reflexão iniciada em Tempo e + +     +33 +Narrativa, seus seguidores muitas vezes simplificaram o contraste entre a solução +oferecida pela narrativa e pelo paradoxo literário ao qual ela responde, esquecendo as +precauções que Ricoeur tomou para não cair no abismo de uma identidade puramente +ficcional e compreensão fora do tempo: + +A identidade narrativa não é uma identidade estável e sem falhas. […] A +identidade narrativa torna-se, assim, o título de um problema, pelo menos +tanto quanto o de uma solução (Ricoeur, 1985, p.447). + +No final deste percurso, gostaria de destacar que minha leitura crítica não visa +em nada denunciar uma falta de coerência do autor ou a esterilidade dos seus escritos, +mas sim, destacar o caráter aventuroso de um pensamento cuja honestidade e +criatividade o conduzem a não hesitar de se redizer para progredir em direção à verdade. +Para ser fiel a Ricoeur, convém não fetichizar sua obra, não fixar seu pensamento em +um estado passado, mas continuar no caminho iniciado sobre os novos horizontes. + +Referências + +Aristote, Poétique, M.

Aim: to identify problems and ways to address them in the framework of developing cadets’ readiness to act in emergency situations in penal institutions; the aim is achieved with the help of the following means: generalization of pedagogical experience in the application of the competence-based approach in education and the requirements of professional activity of penitentiary system staff; and analysis of the content of educational programs and programs of academic disciplines. Methods: theoretical analysis of the research problem, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic, analysis of documents and statistical data, survey, interpretation. Results: analysis of the content of educational programs implemented in educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, analysis of the requirements of professional and official activities dictated by the increased level of criminal danger of persons serving sentences in conditions of deprivation of liberty, analysis of the level of professional training of staff, analysis of the expectations of the heads of penitentiary institutions regarding the professional competence of graduates of educational institutions who are then employed as correctional staff – all this has shown the need to implement a comprehensive approach so as to form cognitive, behavioral, and motivational-value components of readiness for emergency situations, the need to supplement professional competencies that reflect the discussed readiness in relation to various specialties, and the need to conduct regular training in this area, especially in senior courses. Conclusions: in order to develop readiness in correctional staff efficiently, it is advisable to pay attention not only to the formation of cognitive and activity-based components, which are mainly focused on the content of educational disciplines, but also to the motivational and value-based components; circumstancthe formation of the readiness involves, along with the study of special disciplines, organization of psychological training of cadets, which contributes to the implementation of an integrated approach; it is appropriate to develop general professional competencein cadets that would reflect aspects of readiness to act in emergency situations regardless of the specialty obtained; it is important to update the knowledge and skills of how to act in the event of emergencies at the final stage of training.

These objects were deemed phalli on the basis of +their shape and interpreted as cultic in purpose [3]. At the PN site +of Munhata, 16 similar clay items [4] and four stone items [5] were +reported. In a preliminary report such items were illustrated +together with anthropomorphic figurines [6], and in the publica- +tion of the stone items they were described as ‘‘schematic and +naturalistic representations of phalli’’ [5]. +The largest assemblage of these items, some 80 complete and +fragmentary objects that are all made of fired clay, was recovered +during recent excavations at the PN site of Sha‘ar HaGolan [7,8]. +These objects are all cylindrical in shape and many have one +conical end, though they are rarely biconical. Only ca. 19% of +them are complete (n = 15). The assemblage at Sha‘ar HaGolan is +assigned to the Yarmukian culture. Similar artifacts are known +from several sites in northern Israel that are dated to the latter part +of the 8th millennium BP and the earlier part of the 7th millennium +BP [9–11] (note that Gopher [9] assigns the Yarmukian culture to +the second rather than the first half of the 8th millennium BP). The +geographical distribution of these cylindrical artifacts (both stone +and clay) is quite extensive and they have been reported from +several other sites in the Near East (Figure 1). Stekelis, the first to +discuss this category of object, suggested that they were cultic in +function, following their presumed resemblance to phalli [1,3]. +Others have referred to them in a more generalized fashion as +‘‘clay pestles’’ [7], ‘‘clay rods’’ [12], or ‘‘cylindrical clay objects’’ +[8]. +We present here some new observations on the Sha‘ar HaGolan +assemblage and discuss the characteristics of the cylindrical +artifacts. We then reconsider the data and the phenomenon in +general and suggest a new interpretation for the production, +technology, and function of these artifacts: that they are matches – +the tool used to ignite fire. In order to test this hypothesis, the clay +cylinders were re-examined and compared with data stemming +from archaeological, ethnographic, and experimental studies. +Results +Characterizing the Cylindrical Artifacts +The cylindrical objects are all made of high-quality, extremely +fine-grained clay, with some grits less than 1 mm in size. The +objects were fired at a relatively high temperature and their color +varies between different shades of gray [8]. In general, the +cylinders differ greatly in both fabric and color from the pottery +assemblage recovered at Sha‘ar HaGolan; only a large human +statue was made of this kind of clay [13]. The length of the +complete items is 30–60 mm (mean: 46.9 mm) and the diameter is +12.6–14.1 mm. The cylindrical objects were produced by rolling +the clay on hard, flat surfaces that left impressions of various types +on their bodies. Although only 18.7% are complete [8], the +morphology of the extremities (both complete and broken) is quite +varied: flat, conical, double conical, rounded, pinched, rounded +and conical, or unidentified (Figures 2, 3, 4). +The morphology of the cylinder is even and symmetrical along +the entire length axis. Previous observations [8] yielded additional +traits, including combing (20%), scraping (30%), and polishing +(12.5%) or burnishing (26.3%). Summing up these characteristics, +it is evident that some 71% of the entire assemblage bears signs of +secondary treatment. This is especially striking in view of the +efforts invested in the pottery vessels and figurines found on site +[8]. +Recent re-examination of the artifacts resulted in the identifi- +cation of several additional features on some of the objects: +a. +Striations: Of major importance are the striations visible on +the conical ends of the items (Figure 3:3). Striations sometimes +appear on the body of the item as well (Figure 3:1). +PLoS ONE | www.plosone.org +1 +August 2012 | Volume 7 | Issue 8 | e42213 + +b. +Dark coloration: Excessive heat has resulted in black staining +(Figures 2:1, 3:3).

Some breaks +Figure 1.

Altogether, 71.6% of breaks are +oblique and perpendicular, clearly a deviation from the +transversal breakage mode predicted for objects with +elongated morphology. +d. +Grooves, deeper than the striations on the tips, are observed +on the bodies of clay cylinders. There are thin grooves of +roughly horizontal orientation (Figure 4:3), while Figure 3:1–2 +illustrates shallower and more numerous oblique grooves, +covering more of the surface. +Near Eastern evidence of fire production is extensive and begins +as early as the Acheulian of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov [14]. +Throughout the Paleolithic era, indications for fire exploitation +are provided by ashes [15–17], charcoal [19], and hearths [17– +21], joined in the Epi-Paleolithic by remains of lime plaster +[22,23]. An extensive role of fire becomes more visible during the +Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA; ca. 11,750–10,500 calBP; all dates +cited from [24]) and particularly in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B +(PPNB; ca. 10,500–8,400 calBP), though we lack evidence for the +production of fire. Clearly, the Neolithic material culture manifests +a distinct evolutionary phase in pyrotechnology [25] as expressed +by an unprecedented array of technologies associated with fire. +Among these, a component of great importance is the introduction +and the extensive use of ‘‘mechanical’’ drills. +Drilling has been documented as early as the Natufian culture +(15,000–11,700 years calBP) through increased numbers of cap +stones and drilled stones including beads [26–27]. Still, the +evidence for the use of drills rises dramatically at the beginning of +the Neolithic period (PPNA), as observed at the quarry sites of +Hatula [28], Tzur Nathan [29], and Kaizer. Data are available +from the sites of Netiv Hagdud [30] and Gilgal [31–33] as well. +These manifestations, as well as those observed in the following +PPNB cultures, include stone-ground vessels and implements such +as basins, bowls, perforated rocks, and slabs; jewelry such as beads, +pendants, and amulets [34–35]; bone tools such as points, fish +Figure 2.

Clearly, drilling technology +was implemented for a diverse range of tasks and materials prior to +the Pottery Neolithic cultures. +Discussion +The New Interpretation +Our interpretation is based on the known cultural and +technological evidence for advanced pyrotechnology in Neolithic +times. The various characteristics of the clay cylindrical objects +described above (shape, symmetry, excellent clay quality, conical +extremities, particular breakage patterns, spiral striations, and +darkened tips in some case), can all be explained by a single +function. We propose that these items are the earliest recorded +matches – drill bits serving as a component of an advanced +composite drill mechanism to produce fire. The basic property of +this mechanism, well attested ethnographically [37,38], is high- +speed rotation to create friction. The rotation transmits energy, +i.e., heat, in the socket of a fireboard, causing three types of +markings through friction between the drill bit and the board. +These are striations (including parallel striations, rotational marks, +spiral scratches, and spiral grooves), polish marks, and darkening +of the drill bit when extensive heat is generated. The heat +generated by the friction ignites the tinder that is placed on the +board, frequently in a groove or fire pan, a shallow depression +containing the tinder (e.g., [37,38]). In addition, the rotational +motion, which entails both pressure and speed, gives the ends of +the cylindrical objects a conical shape while they are rotated inside +the board’s socket, sometimes enlarging the latter. Ethnographic +[37,39–41] and experimental [38,41] studies show that the motion +of the fire drill results in an abrasive pattern on the drill, forming +a conical shape at the tip of the drill bit. Some of the specimens +were given a conical end in advance during the primary stage of +modification, probably in order to ease the drill bit into the +fireboard (Figure 4:5). +The speed of rotation, and the abrasive force that it generates, +clearly depend on two main factors: the drill bit (its morphology +and +raw +material) +and +the +fireboard +(i.e., +the +‘‘hearth’’). +Archaeological examples of drills (both palm and bow varieties) +and boards made of wood have been discovered in the Old World, +mainly in Egypt (e.g., [42,43]) but in Europe as well [38]. The +New World furnishes similar evidence, notably from South +America ( [38,41] and references therein). Similar findings, but +with a much more extensive variability of raw materials, are +recorded from the ethnographic data [39,40,43]. +Although reconstructing the drills used at Sha‘ar HaGolan is +a speculative task, we propose two alternatives: a bow drill [40,44– +46] or a pump drill [37,40,44,47]. These drill types comprise a drill +bit, a shaft/spindle, a handle, a top piece, and cords/thongs. The +pump drill has an additional component, a flywheel (whorl) usually +in the form of a perforated thin disc, which serves as a weight to +add momentum [37]. Both drill types require hafting devices and +technologies to connect the drill bit to the shaft, and both use +a board with sockets, usually lined up in a row, for the bit to drill +into the surface of the board [39,43]. Indeed, the Sha‘ar HaGolan +Figure 3. Characteristic traits of fired-clay cylindrical artifacts. 1) grooves; 2) grooves and striations; 3) darkened conical tip with associated +striations resulting from rotation. +doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0042213.g003 +The Earliest Matches +PLoS ONE | www.plosone.org +4 +August 2012 | Volume 7 | Issue 8 | e42213 + +clay assemblage includes objects [8,48] that could easily have +served as flywheels and fore-shafts to connect the drill bit to the +rotating shaft. +Of the two varieties of drill, the bow drill seems the more +appropriate, considering the presence of distinct damage pattern +in the form of grooves (Figure 4:3). These grooves probably +resulted from the thin string of the bow rubbing the body of the +clay cylinder. If this is a valid reconstruction, these grooves may be +indicative of a very short drill bit without a shaft and with +a capstone and a string wrapped around the cylindrical artifact. +The use of the cylindrical artifacts as drill bits to ignite fire is +further supported by their different breakage patterns. Activating +a pump/bow drill introduces pressure along the axis of the shaft/ +drill bit. With the bow drill this force is introduced from the top of +the shaft (by hand/cap stone) and interacts with the rotational +force caused by the movement of the bow. In the case of a pump +drill, the friction in the board’s socket is produced mainly by the +weight of the flywheel and to a lesser extent by the pressure of the +hand on the handle [37]. In both instances transversal breakage +may occur when equilibrium is lacking between the perpendicular +vectors of force described above. In both drills any excessive force +will cause breakage, and one may cite the high frequency of +longitudinal and diagonal breaks at Sha‘ar HaGolan (Figures 2, 3). +The biconical cylinders exemplify the technological sophistica- +tion and flexibility of the Sha‘ar Hagolan inhabitants. The +biconical artifacts are viewed as double-ended objects in which +an exhausted end had been replaced, after rehafting, by the other +end of the same clay cylinder. The items with one conical end and +those with rounded ends could also have been reused after +rehafting. The artifacts with pinched ends (Figure 4:5) may be +viewed as prepared but as yet unused items. Experimental work +[38,41] shows that the very first turns of the drill are difficult, as +the drill bit is liable to slip from its intended point on the board. +Thus, pinching can be a stabilizing factor maintaining the drill bit +at a particular point on the board. According to ethnographic +observations, the grip of the drill bit on the board can be improved +by grooving/notching (or alternatively making a cross) at the +drilling point on the board, but the grooves or notches are +frequently also guttered in order to allow the accumulation of +sawdust (e.g., [43]). The dimensions of the sockets increase with +the ongoing and repeated process of drilling. +Based on the frequency of these clay objects and their lack of +any artistic decoration, as well as the absence of any coloration +(apart from the dark staining on the conical tips are related to +charring), we conclude that these fired-clay objects were indeed +drill bits employed in the process of fire making. +The Origin and Spread of the Fire Drill +Archaeological evidence of fire drills is extremely rare, probably +due to the fact that they were generally made of perishable +materials, particularly wood. Both drill and board are preserved +only under very particular conditions, either in hyper-arid or in +waterlogged environments (e.g., the Egyptian wooden specimens +mentioned above). In support of our interpretation we may refer to +the Egyptian hieroglyph for fire, which portrays a fire drill of bow +drill type [43]. Fire drills must have been a very common artifact +type in antiquity to become an illustrative reference to fire. +As noted above, cylindrical artifacts have been found in +a number of Near Eastern PN sites, including Munhata: clay +Figure 4.

This +widespread distribution illustrates the regular use of this particular +method of igniting fire and the fact that it was a very common +procedure during the PN. +Fired-clay cylindrical objects older than the PN (e.g., [33]) have +not yet been examined in the light of the above interpretation; +thus, it is possible that similar items do exist in the archaeological +record preceding that of the PN and that their distribution is even +wider. The PPNB site of Kfar HaHoresh furnishes evidence for +possible use of fire drills prior to the PN. The evidence comprises +several stone blocks made of limestone and assigned to the Middle +PPNB. These fragmentary stone artifacts, two reported in [57], +have one or more pits/sockets with grooves connecting them +(Figures 4, 5, 6). Examination of the sockets and their morphology, +as well as the straight and curved incisions on the stone block, +leads us to consider these artifacts as fireboards, similar to objects +recorded through ethnographic observations (e.g., [39]). Some of +the Kfar HaHoresh artifacts also exhibit a shallow depressed +surface around the perimeter of the sockets, which includes the +incisions/grooves leading to the sockets (Figure 6). In our +interpretation, the sockets were formed by the insertion of the +drill bit and its rotation, which in turn enlarged the sockets as +drilling advanced. The surface grooves were made to accommo- +date the tinder and the depression around it, known from +ethnographic items, was hollowed in order to lay down additional +tinder (usually as a heap or bundle) to prevent the wood dust from +rising up from the spiral motion of the drilling. This is the fire pan, +i.e., the area where tinder is laid on the board, to catch the spark +and complete the process of ignition [37]. Apparently it is essential +to keep the heated dust in a heap [39] and the fire pan clearly +helps to sustain optimal conditions. Thus, we consider these (stone) +artifacts the earliest manifestations of fire boards associated with +the production of fire. Petrie wrote: ‘‘Both the fire drill and bow drilling +probably originated from the use of the bow and arrow’’ [42:59] and +Francis shared the view that the bow drill [37:61] ‘‘… is evidently +a variety of the ordinary bow and arrow, modified for drilling.’’ Kfar +HaHoresh, like most PPNB sites, is rich in arrowheads that imply +knowledge of bow mechanics, further strengthening our suggestion +that the systematic production of matches predates the PN finds at +Sha‘ar HaGolan. +Figure 5.

The mechanism that produces heat and +combustion is rooted in the friction of two elements in motion. +Ethnographic data (e.g., [39]) indicate that in order to increase the +friction, sand (or grit of other types) was poured into the socket. +We lack the boards that were the counterpart of the fired-clay +cylindrical artifacts, but the striations on the conical parts, and +sometimes on other parts of the item, demonstrate that extensive +friction did take place. The holed stone boards from Kfar +HaHoresh provide evidence that the friction was intense. The Pre- +Pottery Neolithic artisans were skilled in drilling stone and other +hard materials (e.g., [28] and see references above). The wide +geographical distribution of the fired-clay and stone cylinders +emphasizes this point. The increasingly frequent occurrence of +partially perforated stone blocks described as ‘‘game boards’’ at +other Near Eastern PPNB sites, such as Beidha [58], Wadi Tbeik +[59], ‘Ain Ghazal [60], Wadi Abu Tulayaha [61–64] and Wadi +Ghwair [65], clearly merits further investigation. Of these, some of +these could have functioned as fireboards. +The Symbolic Aspect +Our interpretation of these items does not negate the symbolic +connotations that they may have held, as pointed out by Stekelis +[3].

It was subsequently published as Working +Paper No. 10 in April 2005 at the AIS St Helens Centre for Research in International Education, Auckland, +New Zealand. The author would like to thank Charles Alderson, Andrew Cohen, Joan Rubin, Anna +Chamot, Ernesto Macaro, Carol Griffiths, Rebecca Oxford, and Guangwei Hu for their helpful comments at +various stages. + + + +Despite recent efforts by leading experts in the field (e.g., Cohen, 2011; Oxford, +2011), research interest in language learning strategies is at an all-time low. Part of this +decline in interest came from the repeated and yet unsuccessful attempts at clarifying the +concept of “learning strategies”, so much so that some scholars have called for the +concept to be abandoned and replaced with “self-regulation” (e.g., Dörnyei, 2005). I +contend that this is not a healthy sign, because the definition quibble is going beyond the +advancement of knowledge in delineating conceptual boundaries, and because teachers +and learners on the ground are not getting the practical guidance needed from the experts. + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +331 +A few scholars have argued against the proposed solution (e.g., Gao, 2007; Rose, +2012), reasoning that conceptual fuzziness should not be a problem serious enough to +overthrow forty years of research on language learning strategies. The argument is clear +and straightforward: if not being able to agree on the definition of a Planet until 2006 +does not in any way discredit the scientific nature of astronomy, or necessitate the +removal of the concept of “planet” altogether, why should we throw away a whole line of +research on language learning strategies? In fact, the proposed alternative term “self- +regulation” or even a more general and key term “learning” fall into the same fuzziness +trap (For more details, see Educational Psychology Review 2008 special issue on +metacognition and self-regulation; and Educational Psychologist 2009 special issue on +learning). This indicates to me that the find-another-term solution is not viable. +In this article, I will contend further that conceptual fuzziness is not a problem at +all. I will try to anchor the concept of learning strategies through a prototype perspective. +In so doing, I will deliberately draw on the long tradition of learning strategies research in +general, although my intended audience is primarily researchers and teachers in the +language learning field. It will be argued that learning strategy is a prototypical rather +than categorical concept, and finding a prototypical core and mapping out dimensions of +variation would be a practical solution. Seeing learning strategies from this perspective +will hopefully open up a new agenda for learning strategy research. + +Learning Strategy: A Fluid Concept + +The family of learning strategies is a large one. When theorists and researchers +from various disciplines talk about learning strategies, they do not usually refer to the +same concept. Weinstein and Mayer’s (1986) conception of learning strategies, for +example, bears little resemblance to that of Entwistle (1977) and Pask (1976, 1988). Even +within similar conceptions, there may be disputes about what constitutes a typical +strategy (see, Rothkopf, 1988). On the other hand, people do not always use the same +terminology to refer to the same concept, resulting in overlapping conceptions with hazy +boundaries. For instance, “cognitive skills” (Colley & Beech, 1989), “cognitive +strategies” (Gagne, 1985; Kirby, 1984; Pressley & Levin, 1983a, 1983b), “study skills” +(T. H. Anderson, 1979; Rothkopf, 1988), “learning to learn” (Bransford, Stein, Shelton, + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +332 +& Owings, 1981), “metacognitive strategies” (Garner, 1988), “executive control +processes” (Gagne, 1985), “self-regulation” (Zimmerman, 1990), as well as “learning +strategies” (O’Neil, 1978; O’Neil & Spielberger, 1979; Weinstein, Goetz, & Alexander, +1988), to name only a few, can hardly be separated as distinctive concepts. + +In solving the definition problem, O'Neil (1978) adopted an all-inclusive stance +and defined learning strategies as “intellectual and affective skills” (p. xi) that constitute +“a necessary condition for more efficient learning”. He preferred the term “learning +strategies” “because the term implies a broad general approach that includes affective and +motor techniques as well as cognitive strategies” (O’Neil & Spielberger, 1979, p. xi). +Kail and Bisanz (1982) expressed their dissatisfaction in an eloquent way, saying +“disagreement over the exact definition of strategy may be a healthy sign, for it indicates +that psychologists have learned enough about human cognition to make distinctions that +were formerly unnecessary” (p. 230). + +In search of a definition pattern, a number of definitions from some prominent +theorists and researchers in educational psychology are collected and presented in Table 1. +The original wording in these definitions is kept as closely as possible, but broken down +into two columns. + +Table 1.

This over-simplification, of course, +provides no help whatsoever either for research or for practical training purposes. On the +other side of the coin, however, we do see from Table 1 that most scholars agree that the +term “learning strategies” or “cognitive strategies” does encompass a definition of +“strategies” and that of “learning”, i.e., what strategies are for. + +In further describing the concept of strategies, different researchers have proposed +different categories. Table 2 provides a summary of some of these schemes expressed in +terms of dichotomies: + +Table 2.

Concepts in each column overlap but are not identical to each other. Similarly, +the relationship between each dichotomy may not be the same as that between another +pair in the table. + +A distinction most often made, as is seen in the first five pairs in Table 2, is along +the lines of scope or generality. Some strategies appear to be more general than others; +the less general ones are usually referred to as “skills”, “tactics”, or “techniques”. In other +words, only the general ones, according to these authors, can reach the strategy level (cf. +Stern, 1975 in the SLA literature). The next three pairs of dichotomies focus on what +strategies are for. The three terms on the left are for the management of learning. They +refer more or less to the metacognitive strategies that we now know. The three terms on +the right, on the other hand, refer either to strategies that aim to help with the execution +of the primary cognitive processes such as encoding and retrieval (“non-executive”, or +“primary”), or to these cognitive processes as such (“processes). These distinctions are +along functional lines and are very difficult to operationalize (Naus & Ornstein, 1983). +“Distance from the task” (Biggs, 1984) is the criterion for the last three pairs in Table 2. +These distinctions echo what some researchers in SLA have been positing, e.g., Vann and +Abraham’s (1990) differentiation of person-dependent vs. task-dependent strategies. It is +believed that the domain-dependent or embedded strategies are nearer to tasks and thus +the most teachable (Biggs, 1984). The detached strategies, on the other hand, are believed +to be “more appropriate for bright students, who probably would be more able to direct +themselves” (Rigney, 1978, p. 175). + +Putting learning strategies in the light of these bipolar dichotomies has +considerably enlightened our understanding of the general term “strategies”, it has not, +however, cleared up the mess, not to mention serving as the guiding hand for research +and training (Chipman & Segal, 1985). The perennial argument about the generality of +strategies, for example, does not seem at all productive, and some researchers even ended +up pondering over the very existence of general strategies (Chipman & Segal, 1985) or at +least questioning the significance of teaching general strategies, especially to experts, as + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +335 +opposed to novices (Perkins, 1985). Though some researchers have gone beyond the +dichotomy conceptualization and proposed elaborations, e.g., “macrostrategies- +mesostrategies-microstrategies” (Biggs, 1984), or “strategies-tactics-skills” (Kirby, 1988), +these new conceptions are not as readily and widely acceptable as the dichotomies and do +not shed much more light upon the description of learning strategies. Practical questions +from research and training continue to haunt theorists. e.g., Can knowledge be strategy? +Are activities strategies? Are observable motor activities, as opposed to covert mental +activities, strategies? Are strategies always under conscious control? What happens to the +automated strategies? These questions, among others, have either been deliberately +avoided or taken for granted in previous literature. + +A Prototype Perspective of Learning Strategies + +The questions above are difficult to answer, because there are no defining +boundaries to the learning strategy concept. Operational definitions without due concern +for the fuzziness of conceptual edges along different dimensions tend to present a false +impression as though learning strategies were clearly definable, often obscuring empirical +findings and reducing the external validity of research results (see Wellman, 1983; +Yussen, 1985 for similar discussions on the concept of metacognition). + +Pinker and Prince (1999) distinguish between two types of human concepts: +classical categories that are defined by necessary and sufficient criteria, and prototype +categories that are characterized by “graded degrees of membership” (pp. 8–9). The latter +can be described in the following ways: +• They lack necessary and sufficient conditions for membership +• They have graded degrees of membership +• The category can be summarized by an ideal member or prototype, sometimes but +not always an actual exemplar of the category +• There can be unclear cases +• They often display a family resemblance structure +• Good members tend to have characteristic nondefining features + + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +336 +Since the six points above can all describe the “learning strategy” concept that we +know, I argue henceforth that a prototype perspective1 would be a way out of the +conceptual impasse, because it entails an open exposition of learning strategies. Instead +of strategies vs. non-strategies, strategies display “family resemblances” to greater or +lesser degrees (Pinker & Prince, 1999). In other words, learning strategies can be viewed +as differing from each other in degree the same way as birds differ in terms of birdiness +(Aitchison, 1987; Rosch, 1975), i.e., some strategies are more strategy-like than others +just as some birds are birdier than other birds. Prototypes are the ideal forms, so to speak, +of target concepts. Particular instances are evaluated by means of comparing them to the +prototypical exemplars to see how much common variance they share. Finding strategy +prototypes and matching various strategic properties against them offers a much more +illuminating perspective in the definition and description of learning strategies than +simple categorizations based upon the presence or absence of, for instance, generality, or +of other strategic attributes. Hence, the definition of learning strategies, according to +prototype theory, would mean the delimitation of attributes that anchor the central core of +a strategy, while at the same time spelling out possible dimensions of variance in much +the same way as, though far more complicated than, Labov’s (1973) demonstration of the +concept of a cup.2 + +Strategies: The prototypical core + +Strategy is not a static concept. On the contrary, a prototypical strategy is a +dynamic process with problem-solving as its central aim.

Every step is an integral link of the strategy chain; and every step involves the +strategic choice on the part of the problem solver. + +Figure 1. What’s in a Strategy? + + +Strategies: Dimensions of variability and prototypical features + +Due to its dynamic nature, an ideal strategy is made up of two components, a +metacognitive component and a cognitive one. The former refers to the process whereby +a learner selectively attends to a learning task; analyses the self, the task, and the situation; + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +338 +plans for a course of action; monitors the execution of the plan; and evaluates the +effectiveness of the whole process. The latter refers to the actual execution of the strategy. +The metacognitive component is intentional and conscious, whereas the cognitive part is +not necessarily so. The following six points delineate the dimensions along which a +strategy can vary, and the prototypical features of each dimension. +In addition, the core concept of learning strategies can also be viewed as including +both strategy competence and strategy performance (Rothkopf, 1988), the former serving +as precursor to the latter without necessitating its activation. Similarly, Brown et al. (1983) +visualized a distinction between a static and a dynamic perspective of knowledge and +performance, arguing that “students vary not only in what they know but also in what +they do with what they know. Knowledge is necessary but not sufficient for performance, +for it is the efficiency with which a learner uses whatever is available that defines +intelligence” (p. 100). + +The significance of the competence/performance distinction has been repeatedly +demonstrated in empirical work, especially in studies of metacognition, where a similar +distinction, metacognitive knowledge vs. metacognitive regulation (Cavanaugh & +Perlmutter, 1982; Lawson, 1984), has been shown pivotal in the interpretation of +empirical results (see Yussen, 1985). + +Intentionality and purposefulness. A prototypical strategy is intentionally +selected, consciously engaged in, and consciously monitored and evaluated (Paris, Lipson, +& Wixson, 1983; Underwood, 1978) for the fulfillment of an aim or a solution of a +problem. A learning behaviour is not strategic if it is deployed without a purpose, no +matter how many steps it involves, and how general it is. Some unsuccessful learners +seem to employ learning behaviours similar to their peers and are confused as to why the +same behaviours do not lead to the same learning outcomes. A careful analysis of these +unsuccessful learners would reveal their aimlessness as compared to their successful +counterparts (Gu, 1994). Intentionality and purposefulness are not a matter of yes or no, +but a matter of weak or strong. In other words, it is a continuum along which +prototypicality can be judged. + + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +339 + +Self-initiation. Another “central feature” of strategies is learner-initiation (Palmer +& Goetz, 1988), indicating a strong link between strategies and the underlying +motivational force, which explains why learners often fail to put their strategic +competence into practical use (Brown et al., 1983; Flavell, 1970; Flavell & Wellman, +1977; Paris & Lindauer, 1982). Rothkopf (1988) described this dimension of learning +strategies vividly: + +Study skills3 are like dietary information that diabetics can describe in fastidious +detail, but that they neglect at the dinner table. They are like knowing how to +protect the roses in your garden from aphids, but failing to do so. They are like +knowing about calories and wishing to be thin and yet continuing to eat too much +(p. 276). + +Awareness, monitoring, and evaluation. Because of the deliberateness and goal- +orientedness of learning strategies, learners are usually aware of the strategies they are +using (Rabinowitz & Chi, 1987). Moreover, the strategies are monitored on-line and their +effectiveness evaluated after completion of a task. This aspect of learning strategies is +exactly what Flavell (1970, 1976) referred to as metacognition. Awareness of learning +strategies enables a learner to know what s/he is doing, making it possible for the +researcher to elicit the on-going mental activities. Monitoring and evaluation, on the other +hand, empowers the learner to adapt to various socio-contextual changes by means of +flexible application of strategies adjusted to his/her personal needs and styles of learning, +and to the requirement of tasks. As has been repeatedly demonstrated in previous +literature (e.g., Brown, 1978; Forrest-Pressley & Gillies, 1983; Pressley, Borkowski, & +Schneider, 1987), it is exactly this flexibility and conditional nature of strategies that +serves as the critical agent that distinguishes the mature from the young, the good from +the poor, and the expert from the novice learners. To use Garner’s (1988, p. 64) words, +“knowing when to use a strategy is as important as knowing how to use it”. + +3 In Rothkopf (1988), the term “study skills” was used interchangeably with learning strategies. + + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +340 +Strategy performance: Sequence of activities vs. single activities. “A strategy +is a sequence of activities rather than a single event” (Garner, 1988, p. 64). This +conception is shared by quite a number of researchers (Derry & Murphy, 1986; Kail & +Bisanz, 1982; Nisbet & Shucksmith, 1986; Schmeck, 1988b; Wade et al., 1990). Many +researchers (Bellezza, 1983; Goh, 2002; Snowman, 1986) label the single learning +activities as “techniques” or “tactics” and refer to the activity groups as strategies. This is +understandable from the dynamic conception we see in Figure 1, in that the sequence of +activities is a deliberately designed problem-solving process, not a one-shot aimless +activity. + +Strategy performance: Activity chunk vs. activity pile. Defining a learning +strategy as a “sequence” or “configuration” of activities does not mean an arbitrary piling +of these activities, nor does it mean the piecemeal application of each activity one by one. +When a group of single activities or tactics are applied in a particular sequence again and +again, they form chunks that preserve the effect of the sequence, take up less working +memory capacity by building in information that no longer requires domain-specific +declarative knowledge to be retrieved from long term memory, hence requiring less time +to perform. These are the composition and proceduralization processes of John +Anderson’s (1982, 2000) knowledge compilation which bridges the gap between +declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge. In this way, from knowing how to +perform to actual performance, from slow performance to fast performance, strategies +become automatised activity chunks. Without the sequential nature of performance, piles +of activities will not serve strategic purposes. + +Strategy performance: Automatized vs controlled. Repeated effective use of +these chunks results in automatization of the process, which entails less and less effortful +attention, thereby reducing the required working memory capacity as well as processing +time. As a learning strategy is automatized, the learner’s control over the strategy is +reduced, and it becomes less and less conscious and can be initiated at the prompt of a +task demand without the learner’s awareness. Rabinowitz and Chi (1987) insist that once +strategic behaviors become automated and lose conscious awareness, they are not + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +341 +strategic any more. However, I contend that the strategies under conscious control are +only at the beginning stage, and that the highest form of strategic performance is +automatic. An automatised strategy may appear to lose the learner’s conscious awareness, +but this is only the execution and performance aspect and is therefore not the entire +manifestation of a strategy. What automatisation may lose is the awareness of the +execution process. Many of the metacognitive components, e.g., selective attention, +analysis of the situation, decision making, monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan, +are all intentionally done, no matter how quick the process is. In the meantime, awareness +of metacognitive regulation will not be entirely lost either. For instance, an expert tennis +player in a match is constantly observing and analyzing how the match is going, +modifying and evaluating his/her choice and use of strategies. The actual execution of the +strategies, however, must be done automatically. Hitting the backhand of the opponent is +a conscious decision resulting from intentional analyses of the match, but the +modification of posturing, positioning of body, aiming of angle, and hitting of ball are all +done automatically. Theoretically, if the match is stopped immediately while the +strategies are still in Short Term Memory, the player should be able to verbalize the +process of choosing and deploying the strategies. This is essentially the same argument as +the one made by Winne (1995), when he contended that self-regulated learning “can be +automatic and non-deliberate once the learner has automated procedural knowledge that +recognizes when to regulate and what to do” (p. 223). + + +Figure 2. The Strategy Prototype and Dimensions of Variation + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +342 + +Ideal features vs. minimum features. I have just outlined what I believe to be +core features of strategies. However, it may be necessary to make a distinction between +ideal features and minimum features of a strategy. Just like the ability to fly is an ideal +but not minimum feature of a bird (e.g., ostriches), some features of a strategy may be +ideal but are not minimum, defining features. For instance, ideal strategies are aimed at +and lead to success in performance (Macaro, 2006), but success in task completion +should not be a defining feature of a strategy. Similarly, some of the strategy dimensions +I described above, for example, the automatic execution of a strategy, must be an ideal +but not minimum feature. + +To sum it up, a prototypical or ideal strategy is a dynamic process of problem +solving. It contains a metacognitive component and a cognitive component. A +prototypical strategy is a purposeful, self-initiated, and intentionally selected, monitored, +and evaluated sequential series of activities. A mature strategy is automatically executed. +As is illustrated in Figure 2, the prototypicality of a strategy depends on 1) how many +dimensions are present, and 2) how close to the prototypical core each dimension is. +To date, learning strategy research includes the following kinds: Quantitative +perspectives typically focus on the repertoire (how many) and frequency (how often) of +strategy use; and qualitative approaches tend to describe how particular strategies are +used by certain learners in performing selected learning tasks. A prototype perspective of +learning strategies entails a whole new range of new angles in examining learning +strategies. For example, in addition to the repertoire and frequency of strategy use, we +could measure the degree of prototypicality of a learner’s strategy use and relate it to +his/her learner results, e.g., how many central dimensions of a strategy are present, how +prototypical is each dimension of a strategy being used. We can also examine different +stages of strategy use (e.g., selective attention, analysis of self, task, and situation, +decision making, monitoring and evaluating of plan, etc.) so as to diagnose where the +exact problems are in a particular learner’s strategic behaviours, and to help him/her +modify strategy choice and use for desired learning outcomes. + + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +343 +Dimensions of Learning + +Competence or performance, general or specific, controlled or automatic, learning +strategies are what the learner utilizes when confronted with a learning task. The +strategies a learner chooses to use, the ways they are deployed, monitored and evaluated, +depend both on what the learner brings with him/her to the learning situation, i.e., +individual differences, as well as on the situation per se where learning occurs. Most +importantly, as Biggs (1984) rightly emphasizes, “‘strategy’ is a key concept in +explicating relationships between person, situation, and performance” in that it, among +other things, explains “what happens between personological and situational variables on +the one hand and performance on the other” (p. 112). Thus the conceptualization of +learning strategies will not be complete without examining the aspect of learning and the +corresponding dimensions along which the acquisition and performance of strategies vary. + +Both individual differences and situational variables play decisive roles in the +formation, retention and use of learning strategies. Which side is more decisive, however, +is essentially an issue virtually unresolvable (see Shipman, 1988 for an excellent +discussion on the nature/nurture dispute). As Schmeck (1988a) put it, + +If we keep a situation constant and look across people, we see situational +influences; and if we keep the person constant and look across situations, we see +the influence of personal style. However, the two are normally (e.g., in our +classrooms) operating simultaneously in a sort of “chemical reaction” that, in the +end, may be unanalyzable (p. 10). + + +What we can do, it seems, is to, on the one hand, map out both the personological +and the situational variables (Biggs, 1984) that determine the competence and +performance of a learner’s learning strategies, while on the other hand remind ourselves +that “a person in context is not simply the sum of the person and the context” (Schmeck, +1988a, p. 12). +When a person approaches a relatively challenging task, s/he adopts certain +strategies to solve the problem. This problem-solving process is boosted or constrained + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +344 +by the learning context where the problem is being tackled. Language learning involves +such problem-solving tasks at different levels of complexity. The strategies a learner uses +and the effectiveness of these strategies very much depend on the learner him/herself +(e.g., attitudes, motivation, prior knowledge), the learning task at hand (e.g., type, +complexity, difficulty, and generality), and the learning environment (e.g., the learning +culture, the richness of input and output opportunities). + + +Figure 3. Person-Task-Context-Strategies: An Explanatory Model + +Theorists and researchers have presented the same framework (see Figure 3) in +slightly different ways. Brown et al. (1983) advocated the adoption of a tetrahedral +learning model proposed by Jenkins (1979) which elaborates the person-by-context +(Sarason, 1979) conception of learning into four interrelated factors: characteristics of the +learner, learning activities, nature of the materials, and criterial tasks. The first two are +roughly dimensions of individual differences, and the latter two dimensions of contextual +variations. Williams and Burden’s (1997) social constructivist model outlines four +aspects of the teaching-learning process, i.e., teachers, learners, tasks, contexts. Cohen +(2003) focuses on learners and discusses the intersection of learning style preferences, +learner strategies, and language tasks. Flavell’s (1979) conception of the three +components of metacognitive knowledge, i.e., person, task, and strategy, also applies in + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +345 +the language learning field (Wenden, 1987). Similarly, Fox and Riconscente’s (2008) +three components of self-regulatory action, i.e., the subject who does the regulating, the +object that is regulated, and the means by which regulation is done, describe essentially +the same strategic learning processes. The person-task-context-strategy model outlined +here can be viewed as a synthesis of this body of knowledge, specifically for the purpose +of analyzing research work on language learning strategies. + +Learner characteristics and learning strategies +The learner brings to the language learning situation a wide spectrum of +individual differences that will influence the learning rate and the ultimate learning result. +The most widely reported learner factors include age, sex, language aptitude, intelligence, +prior knowledge, motivation, self-concept/image, personality, and cognitive and learning +style. These person-dependent factors are relatively stable, and determine to a large +extent how a learner approaches a task. After all, strategies are but learner-initiated +actions that result from, make use of, or make up for, the aforementioned individual +differences. Among these IDs, the learner’s sex, motivation, cognitive style, knowledge +of various types, and his/her processing capacities are the most researched in relation to +learning strategies. Compared to task-related strategies, person-related strategies have +rarely been studied. + +Learning task and learning strategies +When a learner approaches a task with a repertoire of strategies, s/he often +chooses a strategy with the product demand in mind, and tailors his/her choices in tune +with their effectiveness in performing the task (Bransford et al., 1981). Different types of +tasks call for different strategies. The encoding, retention, or retrieval processes, for +instance, require corresponding strategies for effective performance (Rigney, 1978). +Likewise, tasks of various scopes also set limits to the corresponding strategies required, +hence the differentiation between the generality/specificity of strategies (Dansereau, +1985). +A learning task can be as broad as mastering a second language or as specific as +remembering one meaning of a word. Broadly speaking, this conception of the learning + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +346 +task includes the materials being learned (such as the genre of a piece of reading) as well +as the goal the learner is trying to achieve by using these materials (such as remembering, +comprehending, or using language). It should be noted that this conception of “task” is in +line with the traditional, broader understanding of task as in Flavell (1979), Wenden +(1987), and Williams and Burden (1997), and is different from the more recent and +narrower definition of “task” in “task-based” approaches to language teaching and +learning (e.g., Nunan, 1989). +Different types and structures of task materials, task purposes, and tasks at various +difficulty levels demand different learner strategies, even overriding individual +differences from time to time. Take vocabulary learning, for example, learning words in a +word list is different from learning the same words in a passage. Remembering a word +meaning is different from learning to use the same word in real life situations. Guessing +from context would mean different things for texts of different levels of new word +density. Similarly, the most frequent 1000 words would need different learning strategies +from some low frequency vocabulary. Likewise, knowledge acquisition strategies would +not be expected to be identical to those for skill acquisition. Strategies used in learning a +foreign language are certainly different from those in learning, say, history, art, or +literature, hence the distinction between domain-specific and domain-general strategies. +Strategies for learning oral/aural competencies would also be different from those for +learning written discourse. In addition, the ways in which stimulus materials are +organized and structured may also bring about different processing strategies (Brown et +al., 1983). + +Learning context and learning strategies +Learning context refers to the learning environment. It is the social, cultural, +educational, and political environment where learning takes place. The learning context +can include the teachers, the peers, the classroom climate or ethos, the family support, the +social, cultural tradition of learning, the curriculum, and the availability of input and +output opportunities. Learning context is different from language context which refers to +the textual or discoursal place in which a particular word or structure can be found. +Learning contexts foster or constrain the ways learners approach learning tasks. A + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +347 +learning strategy that is valued in one learning context may well be deemed inappropriate +in another context. In other words, an individual learner’s strategies and activities are +often determined not only by his/her own predispositions, but also by the social context +where learning occurs. “Other regulation”, to use a term of the sociocognitivists +(Vygotsky, 1978), plays a vital role in learning vis-à-vis “self-regulation”. As a result, +learners often have to develop social learning strategies in addition to their cognitive and +affective repertoire. +Person, task, context, and strategy are interrelated and work together to form the +chemistry of learning. An analysis of learning strategies will never be complete without +knowing the person-task-context configuration of the particular learning situation. Some +strategies are more person-dependent, some are more task-dependent, and others are +more context-dependent. + +This interweaving relationship is best summed up by Brown et al. (1983): + +We would like to argue that just as psychologists need to understand how the four +points interact (Jenkins, 1979) so, too, do learners. On her road to becoming an +expert in the domain of intentional learning, the child will be greatly helped if she +can develop the same insights into the demands of the tetrahedral model that the +psychologist needs (p. 106). + +Indeed, nor can research on intentional learning, i.e., learning strategies, afford to +overlook any of the four interrelated functional dimensions when defining learning +strategies and when examining either their acquisition, retention, and performance, or the +relationship between the employment of these strategies and the outcomes of learning. In +other words, learning strategies cannot simply be viewed as general or specific strategic +competence, and controlled or automatic strategic performance independent of the learner +and the context. The functional/learning aspect of learning strategy definition and +research is as important as the prototypical core of strategies. + + + + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +348 +Summary + +The concept of learning strategies is an extremely fluid one. At the first sight, +O’Neil’s (1978) seemingly all-inclusive definition which embraces both cognitive and +affective learning skills, and Vygotsky’s (1978) view of learning that places emphasis on +other-regulation as well as self-regulation, seem to suffice in the definition of learning +strategies (cf. O’Malley & Chamot’s (1990) strategy scheme). However, when +microstructures of learning strategies are analyzed, focusing on both the entailment of a +strategy and that of learning, the picture is far from clear. + +A prototype perspective of learning strategies is presented above, delimiting core +features of strategies and mapping out dimensions of variation around the concept of +strategy and that of learning. I argue that the core concept of strategy is a dynamic +process involving noticing and selectively attending to a problem, analyzing the self, the +task and the situation, making decisions and plans, executing plans, monitoring, and +evaluating the effectiveness of the whole process. A strategy includes strategy +competence and strategy performance. In addition to purposefulness and self-initiation, +the prototypical strategy is intentionally selected and used, consciously monitored and +evaluated. A strategy is manifested as a sequence of activities, chunked rather than piled +up, and gradually automatised. The selection of a strategy is intentionally done, and the +learner is consciously aware of the strategies s/he is using, monitoring the strategies as +they are being performed, and evaluating their effectiveness after they are executed. +Nevertheless, the skillful execution of a strategy is done automatically. Finally, I present +a “learner-task-context-strategy” framework so that learning strategy research can be +carried out or examined from these dimensions. +The approach taken in this article corresponds to essentially the same strategy +taken by Alexander, Schallert, and Reynolds (2009) in conceptualizing “learning” and by +Kaplan (2008) in the theorizing of self-regulation. In other words, instead of lamenting +the fuzziness of scientific concepts or research constructs, it is more productive to “seek +the core meaning … as well as where these constructs converge and diverge along select +dimensions” (Dinsmore, Alexander, & Loughlin, 2008, p. 329). + +SiSAL Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, December 2012, 330-356 + + +349 + +The prototype perspective and the functional framework help clarify the learning +strategy concept not just in defining the conceptual core along possible dimensions of +variation, but also in potential guidance of future research. First of all, it serves as a +standard against which incongruent research results can be evaluated. We can, for +example, see whether these differences result from the data obtained, or from disparate +operationalizations of the same concept. Secondly, it provides a theoretical framework +that helps see the trees as well as the forest of learning strategy research. Thirdly, the +realization that strategies are not efficient in themselves and that efficiency and expertise +come only after strategies turn into automatic behavioral routines challenges us both in +our interpretation of research results and in our search for the best available ways to elicit +strategy expertise. Lastly, this article underscores the crucial importance of an +idiographic approach to learning strategies that we need at this juncture. In other words, +perhaps we have found enough overall patterns; perhaps it is time that we started looking +deeper into how the choice, use, and effectiveness of learning strategies differ in terms of +person, task, and learning context. + +Notes on the contributor + +Yongqi Gu is Senior Lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

During the first few days after the initial outbreak in Mexico, extensive media coverage together with a high degree of uncertainty about the transmissibility and mortality rate associated with the virus caused widespread concern in the population. The spread of an infectious disease can be strongly influenced by behavioral changes (e.g., social distancing) during the early phase of an epidemic, but data on risk perception and behavioral response to a novel virus is usually collected with a substantial delay or after an epidemic has run its course. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we report the results from an online survey that gathered data (n = 6,249) about risk perception of the Influenza A(H1N1) outbreak during the first few days of widespread media coverage (April 28-May 5, 2009). We find that after an initially high level of concern, levels of anxiety waned along with the perception of the virus as an immediate threat. Overall, our data provide evidence that emotional status mediates behavioral response. Intriguingly, principal component analysis revealed strong clustering of anxiety about swine flu, bird flu and terrorism. All three of these threats receive a great deal of media attention and their fundamental uncertainty is likely to generate an inordinate amount of fear vis-a-vis their actual threat. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Our results suggest that respondents' behavior varies in predictable ways. Of particular interest, we find that affective variables, such as self-reported anxiety over the epidemic, mediate the likelihood that respondents will engage in protective behavior. Understanding how protective behavior such as social distancing varies and the specific factors that mediate it may help with the design of epidemic control strategies. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/2e2f06a0e48b1614.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/2e2f06a0e48b1614.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c4608dfc656c63d5aa49ae08af1108fb8ca77aa1 --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/2e2f06a0e48b1614.txt @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +Corrigendum: Thermo-microstratigraphy of shells reveals invisible fire use and possible cooking in the archaeological record + +The original version of this article has been updated.In the published article, there was a mistake in the Funding statement.

Masyarakat +pada suku ini memiliki ketertarikan untuk bermukim di sepanjang Daerah Aliran +Sungai. Hal ini dikarenakan masyarakat menggantungkan seluruh peri kehidupan +mereka pada sungai. Sungai Kahayan yang menjadi target dari penelitian ini +merupakan sungai yang memiliki makna penting bagi masyarakat Kahayan baik +secara ekonomis, sosial bahkan Teologis. Pada masa lalu, sungai dianggap +sebagai penghubung antara manusia dengan Tuhan karena itu sungai Kahayan +menjadi tempat dilakukannya semua ritual keagamaan lokal mulai dari masa +kehamilan sampai meninggalnya anggota suku ini. Namun perkembangan zaman +membuat makna teologis Sungai Kahayan mengalami perubahan. Perubahan ini +tampak jelas +dari tidak digunakannya lagi sungai Kahayan sebagai pusat +kegiatan ritual masyarakat Dayak Ngaju. Perubahan ini yang menjadi focus dari +penelitian ini. Sementara penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan +kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus untuk menemukan latar belakang dari +perubahan makna teologis sungai Kahayan ini bagi masyarakat Kahayan di Bukit +Rawi kabupaten Pulang Pisau. +Kata kunci: Perubahan Makna Teologis, Dayak Ngaju, Sungai Kahayan, Bukit Rawi, Studi +Kasus. + +Manna Rafflesia, 9/1 (Oktober2022) +https://s.id/Man Raf +P-ISSN: 2356-4547 +E-ISSN: 2721-0006 +Copyright (c) 2022 Manna Rafflesia |140 +PENDAHULUAN +Ada berbagai hal yang dapat +dipakai +oleh +seseorang +untuk +menjadi tanda pengenal berupa +identitas +bagi +dirinya. +Nama +merupakan hal paling mendasar +yang digunakan sebagai identitas +individu.

Karena itu, orang-orang +yang tinggal di sepanjang DAS +(Daerah Aliran Sungai) Kayahan +lebih nyaman jika di sebut sebagai +Dayak Kahayan. Hal ini juga yang +terjadi pada orang-orang Dayak +Ngaju di Bukit Rawi. +Bukit Rawi yang menjadi +lokasi yang penulis pilih karena +desa Bukit Rawi adalah salah satu +desa yang lokasinya dekat dengan +sungai Kahayan dan masuk dalam +kategori Dayak Ngaju. Desa ini +menjadi bagian dari kabupaten +Pulang Pisau, kabupaten ini adalah +salah satu kabupaten yang paling +dekat dengan kota Palangka Raya, +selain +kabupaten +Katingan. +Dengan demikian Kabupaten ini +juga sebagai jalur utama atau +penghubung +bagi +kabupaten- +kabupaten besar lainnya. Antara +lain +kabupaten +Kapuas +dan +kabupaten Gunung Mas, yang +mana desa dari setiap kabupaten +tersebut disebut dengan orang- +orang +Dayak +Ngaju. +Sudah +menjadi kebiasaan orang-orang +Kalimantan +Tengah +yang +menganggap bahwa orang-orang +yang hidup di bantaran atau tepi +sungai Kahayan adalah orang +Dayak Ngaju asli. Dari hasil +observasi masyarakat yang ada di +desa Bukit Rawi, masyarakat tidak +terlalu +banyak +melakukan +mobilitas. +Desa +ini +memiliki +perangkat desa yang baik, ada +puskesmas, +gereja +lumayan +banyak di satu desa yang tidak +terlalu +besar; +ada +Gereka +Kalimatan +Evangelikal +(GKE) +sebagai gereja yang paling banyak +di Kalimantan Tengah, ada Gereja +30 +Schiller, +Small Sacrifices: +Religious Change and Cultural Identity +Among The Ngaju of Indonesia. +Pantekosta di Indonesia (GPDI), +dan +Gereja +Bethel +Indonesia +(GBI), serta ada tempat ibadah +agama +Helu/Kaharingan +yang +disebut Balai. Desa ini berada di +antara sungai Kahayan dan jalan +raya. +Orang-orang Dayak Ngaju +yang hidup di sepanjang DAS ini +menggantungkan +hidup +sepenuhnya pada sungai baik +secara +ekonomis, +sosial +dan +Teologis. Di Bukit Rawi sendiri, +Sebagian besar masyarakat masih +menggantungkan +kehidupan +ekonomi mereka pada sungai +Kahayan seperti mencari ikan, +menyedot +emas +di +sungai, +transportasi bagi hasil pertanian, +makanan babi, dan lain-lain. Di +masa +lalu +sungai +digunakan +sebagai +tempat +untuk +mandi, +sumber minuman dan makanan. +Pada +hari-hari +besar +tertentu, +masyarakat +akan +berbondong- +bondong +ke +sungai +untuk +mengikuti +berbagai +festival. +Namun +demikian, +penggunaan +sungai Kahayan tidak lagi seperti +dulu karena makna sosial dan +teologis sungai ini sudah tidak +begitu kuat lagi. +Gambar 4: Gambar seorang Nenek yang +baru Kembali dari bekerja Melalui Sungai +Kahayan Di Bukit Rawi +Makna Teologis Sungai +Kahayan Bagi Masyarakat +Dayak Ngaju +Sungai +merupakan elemen +yang +sangat +penting +bagi +masyarakat Dayak Ngaju.

Essas análises apontaram para investigar outras facetas, que +estabeleceram outros eixos de pesquisa, conforme se lê a seguir. +O segundo eixo, A produção literária para crianças e jovens, +surgiu como proposta de investigação complementar das antologias +dos manuais escolares, em contexto de formação de professores e de +Letramento Literário, quanto à formação de leitores (professores e +alunos) sensíveis e críticos (PAULINO; COSSON, 2009). +Além disso, outras questões foram emergindo, pelo ponto de +vista de interações horizontais, Sul/Sul, das Epistemologias do Sul +(SANTOS et al., 2010), em contextos plurilíngues, em que se estuda +na escola somente a língua oficial, instituindo-se o terceiro eixo: +Tensão Língua Oficial/Línguas maternas. +A pesquisa trabalha, teórico-metodologicamente, pelo ponto +de vista da Análise Crítica do Discurso – ACD –, procurando perceber +a linguagem não somente como uma prática discursiva, mas também, + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +394 +e sobretudo, como uma prática social, ou seja, como um modo de +ação pelo qual as pessoas podem agir sobre o mundo, sobre as outras +pessoas (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001; VAN DIJK, 2008). +O presente texto trata, especificamente, das tensões entre +línguas, em Guiné-Bissau e Angola2, dentro do terceiro eixo da +Pesquisa em Rede: relações entre língua oficial/língua(s) materna(s), +em virtude de uma aproximação mais recente e mais concreta com o +campo, através de investigações produzidas por dois pesquisadores, +integrantes da Pesquisa em Rede, interessados em discutir questões +relativas a Contextos Multilíngues em seus países, no Programa +de Pós-graduação em Educação: Conhecimento e Inclusão Social, +da Faculdade de Educação da UFMG, em Belo Horizonte, Brasil +(GOMES, 2014; CÁ, 2015). Nesses dois países, a língua oficial +portuguesa coexiste de maneiras diferenciadas com as línguas locais. +Por isso, neste texto, é dada a palavra aos dois investigadores, para que +os leitores tomem conhecimento do que foi possível problematizar, +nesses dois contextos multilíngues, através das suas Dissertações de +Mestrado: Língua e ensino em contexto de diversidade linguística e cultural: +o caso de Guiné-Bissau (CÁ, 2015); Relações entre língua oficial e línguas +locais na escola: como as crianças de aldeias de Cabinda/Angola aprendem o +português e em português (GOMES, 2014). +Ambas as pesquisas, por uma perspectiva qualitativa, coletaram +dados em escolas dos respectivos países: a primeira, partindo da +questão “Diante do plurilinguismo constitutivo das práticas orais em +Guiné-Bissau, em que sentidos os processos de aquisição da leitura e +da escrita de forma monolíngue dificultam ou auxiliam a aquisição de +habilidades linguísticas?”, apresenta como objetivo investigar as práticas +de alfabetização e letramento presentes nos discursos dos professores +alfabetizadores, tendo em vista a diversidade linguística e cultural +guineense. Metodologicamente, foi realizado um estudo com duas +escolas de Bissau, uma pública e uma escola em Regime de Autogestão, +com professoras de primeira classe, composto por observação de sala +de aula, análise de materiais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis +professores das séries iniciais, entre eles: um diretor e uma pedagoga +das escolas do Ensino Básico. A segunda, tendo como preocupação a +questão “Como as crianças, que, a partir do seio familiar, falam uma +língua local angolana de origem africana, aprendem o português?”, +produziu seus dados de pesquisa em contato com três escolas do +Ensino Primário, localizadas em meios rurais, na periferia de Cabinda- +Angola, utilizando-se, metodologicamente, de observação em sala de +aula, entrevistas às professoras, aos diretores e a alguns encarregados de + +395 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +educação das escolas primárias das três aldeias e no acompanhamento +de aulas e dos momentos recreativos dos alunos. +Para esse debate, outros pesquisadores estabelecem relações entre +as línguas locais, a cultura, a oralidade, a cognição e a desenvoltura dos alunos, +ensejando políticas linguísticas (SEMEDO, 2010; SCANTAMBURLO, +2013; DIALLO, 2007; LOPES FILHO, 2015; CARREIRA, 1984; +CARDOSO, 2005; VEIGA, 2004; CALVET, 2007, entre outros). +Assim, ao longo deste texto, os leitores conhecerão, através de +informações, perguntas e reflexões dos dois pesquisadores (GOMES, +2014; CÁ, 2015), as relações entre as línguas locais e a língua oficial – +língua do país, da escola, dos documentos –, nos processos de ensino/ +aprendizagem dos alunos em fase de alfabetização e letramento(s), na +escola básica, em práticas sociais de diferentes contextos multilíngues: +em Guiné-Bissau, várias línguas étnicas guineenses e uma língua +nacional; em Angola, línguas locais de origem africana. Após essas +duas seções, que buscam apresentar um contexto histórico e, +também, perspectivas futuras das Políticas Linguísticas de cada país, +há uma seção que tem o objetivo de instaurar uma reflexão entre +pesquisadores/educadores sobre a importância da apropriação de +aspectos dos processos de Letramento(s) em cada país de língua +portuguesa, limite desta pesquisa, com suas especificidades culturais +e linguísticas, e não por imposição de concepções generalizantes. +GUINÉ-BISSAU: LÍNGUAS ÉTNICAS GUINEENSES/LÍNGUA NACIONAL? +Esta pesquisa teve, primeiramente, acesso a poemas de Guiné- +Bissau, a partir das contribuições da poeta guineense Odete Semedo +(2010), pesquisadora, mencionada na epígrafe, retomada aqui, por +sua temática vigorosa e por sua produção literária, propositadamente +em duas línguas, crioulo e português, com uma interrogação que +inquieta e uma exclamação que grita, com energia, Entre o ser e o amar: +Ma kal sinal ke n na disa +Netus di no djorson? +N na girtal na kriol +Pa rekadu pasa di boka pa boka +Tok i tchiga si distinu +Mas que sinais deixar +Aos netos deste século? +Em crioulo gritarei +A minha mensagem que de boca em boca +Fará a sua viagem +(SEMEDO, 1996, p. 11, grifo nosso) + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +396 +Segundo Augel (2006, p. 86), “falar na sua língua materna +e original, gritar mesmo, é o impulso primeiro do eu poético”, que +espera contar com a oratura dos guineenses, como prática social, de +boca em boca. O termo oratura é utilizado, aqui, como Semedo (2010, +p. 80), “para designar todos os textos da tradição oral, recolhidos +e fixados pela escrita: contos, cantigas, provérbios, entre outros”, +conforme se lê mais abaixo. +Amâncio (2008, p. 51) afirma que “a literatura de textos +literários da Guiné-Bissau permitiu a percepção da força linguística do +crioulo guineense e da tradição oral”. Augel (2006, p. 75) complementa, +referindo-se a diferentes manifestações do crioulo na oratura, ou seja, +nos contos (storia), nas adivinhas (dibiña), nos provérbios (ditu): +Djunbai é um termo crioulo que pode ser traduzido como “convívio” […], de +interação social em que se enquadram o narrador ou a narradora de estórias e +seu público. Através dessas estórias, afloram de modo plástico e convincente as +experiências e vivências das diferentes comunidades culturais que constituem a +textura da sociedade guineense. (AUGEL, 2006, p. 80) +Isso se confirma nas palavras de Semedo (2010, p. 87, grifo +nosso), em sua tese de doutorado, quando diz: +Hoje, é em crioulo que também se leem poemas de autores modernos, contos da +oratura guineense e em crioulo se podem escutar, ainda, canções que denunciam +problems sociais e políticos que afetam a população. O crioulo guineense vem se +afirmando, a cada dia, como língua da expressão literária guineense, pois mesmo +quando não se escreve nessa língua, os textos dos autores se mostram repletos +de expressões em crioulo, de frases que, embora escritas na língua portuguesa, +revelam a estrutura do crioulo. +Posteriormente, a maior parte dos dados foi coletada, in loco, +em escolas de Bissau, pela pesquisadora da Pesquisa em Rede, Virgínia +Cá (CÁ, 2015, p. 22), cuja dissertação questionava inicialmente: “Qual +a visão dos professores sobre o fato de a alfabetização em contexto +escolar acontecer na segunda língua (a língua portuguesa), e não na +língua mais falada (a Língua crioula)?”. +Historicamente, nos seus estudos etnográficos, trabalhando +entre Guiné e Cabo Verde, Carreira, etnógrafo e historiador, refere- +se ao nascimento dessa língua híbrida “[...] o crioulo, essa importante +língua de comunicação verbal falada nas ilhas de Cabo Verde, na +Guiné e nas Caraíbas” (Carta de António Carreira a Victor de Sá +Machado, em 28/10/1982, Cf. Lopes Filho, 2015, p. 93), que “teria +‘nascido’ na ‘Guiné’ e depois levado para as ilhas de Cabo Verde” +(CARREIRA, 1984, p. 15). + +397 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +Para bem definir o que pode ser chamado de “crioulo”, esse +autor considerou como pontos essenciais “determinar cientificamente +em que limites o português serviu de suporte lexical ao crioulo +cabo-verdiano […] e possuir um conhecimento bastante das línguas +africanas que lhe deram as estruturas gramaticais (CARREIRA, +1984, p. 10, grifo nosso). +Nesse sentido, Augel esclarece a opção de Scantamburlo +sobre o termo Guineense em lugar do termo crioulo: +Luigi Scantamburlo, sacerdote italiano, com longos anos de experiência no país, +defende a adoção do termo “guineense” para a língua majoritária da Guiné- +Bissau, pois “esse termo não tem as conotações pejorativas veiculadas pela +palavra ‘crioulo’, relativamente ao termo língua, testemunhando, ao mesmo +tempo, o prestígio obtido face à sociedade da Guiné-Bissau nestes últimos trinta +anos” (SCANTAMBURLO apud AUGEL, 2006, p. 70). +Segundo Diallo (2007), estima-se em cerca de 20 o número +de línguas faladas na Guiné-Bissau, das quais as mais importantes, do +ponto de vista numérico, são: Kriol [crioulo], balanta, fula, português, +mandinga, manjaku e papel. +Os linguistas definem os crioulos como um sistema linguístico em que o léxico é +tomado na sua maioria de empréstimos da língua base, a língua do dominador, e +as estruturas são resultantes dos substratos das línguas africanas. Foi do contato +do português com as línguas étnicas mais correntes naquele território que nasceu +o crioulo guineense que acabou se tornando o idioma da unidade nacional. +(AUGEL, 2006, p. 70) +Por outro lado, Scantamburlo (2013, p. 27) apresenta as 12 +línguas que se fazem presentes em Guiné-Bissau, partindo das mais +faladas: Fula, Balanta, Mandinga, Manjaco, Papel, Felupe, Beafada, +Bijagó, Mancanha, Nalu, Crioulo Guineense e Português. Além das +línguas referidas, existem línguas com poucos números de falantes, +como listado em ordem alfabética por Scantamburlo (2013, p. +27), “Bagas, Baiotes, Bambarãs, Banhuns, Cassangas, Conhagui, +Cobianas (ou Coboianas), Jacancas, Jalofos (ou Wolof), Landumãs, +Padjadincas (ou Badjaranca), Saracolés (ou Soninkés), Sereres (ou +Nhomincas), Sossos (ou Jaloncas), Tandas, Timenés”. O crioulo é +falado por 44,31%, e o português, por 11,08% da população, entre +1979 e 2009 (CÁ, 2015, p. 64-65). +De acordo com os dados da pesquisa de Cá, as línguas faladas +pelos alunos da escola pública pesquisada, das quais 30 dos alunos +declararam falar a língua crioula em casa, nenhum aluno declarou falar +o português e 13 alunos falam línguas maternas, entre elas: Balanta, + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +398 +Biafada, Bijagó, Crioulo, Felupe, Fula, Mancanha, Manjaco, Mansonga, +Mandinga, Nalu, Pepel e Sosso. Observa-se, ainda, que, dos 30 alunos, +18 declararam falar suas línguas étnicas (CÁ, 2015, p. 137). +Como se pode perceber, segundo Scantamburlo (2013), Guiné- +Bissau é um país cuja língua oficial é o português, mas várias línguas +nacionais compõem o quadro linguístico do país, entre elas o crioulo, +que vem a ser língua do convívio e da interação social. Apesar do +prestígio que a língua guineense (crioulo da Guiné) vem conquistando +como a língua da interação social e da unidade nacional de maior +comunicação entre as pessoas, a língua portuguesa medeia a inserção +das crianças guineenses no mundo da cultura escrita escolar, pois “o +ensino oficial continua a manter a língua portuguesa como única língua +de ensino-aprendizagem” (SCANTAMBURLO, 2002, p. 1). +Por isso, o questionamento da pesquisadora guineense +continua, ao longo do seu trabalho de pesquisa: +Diante do plurilinguismo constitutivo das práticas orais em Guiné-Bissau, em que +sentidos os processos de aquisição da leitura e da escrita de forma monolíngue +dificultam ou auxiliam a aquisição de habilidades linguísticas? A exclusão de língua +crioula no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, bem como a imposição de língua +oficial, há muito vêm sendo apontadas como um dos principais problemas que +podem contribuir para o insucesso escolar dos nossos alunos. Diante dessa realidade, +trabalhamos com a hipótese de que: o ensino em diálogo com a língua crioula pode +facilitar a alfabetização, visto ter grande relevância social e cultural. (CÁ, 2015, p. 22) +Segundo a mesma pesquisadora, a imposição de uma única +língua oficial, ecoando práticas coloniais na contemporaneidade pós- +colonial, leva-nos a problematizar o ensino do português no processo +de alfabetização e as práticas de letramento escolar, desvinculado da +língua materna do aprendiz. Nossa pesquisa busca compreender as +práticas de letramento envolvidas nos processos de alfabetização de +alunos que têm o crioulo como primeira língua (L1) e o português +como segunda língua (L2), e como dialogam – ou não – com as +práticas plurilíngues em Guiné-Bissau. +As crianças guineenses entram em contato com o mundo da +cultura escrita escolar, sendo privadas dos conhecimentos linguísticos +prévios já adquiridos, tanto na aquisição de uma das, aproximadamente, +25 línguas pertencentes aos diferentes grupos étnicos que constituem +nossa população, como também conhecimentos culturais e práticas de +letramento relacionadas ao crioulo, língua nacional (CÁ, 2015, p. 18). +O nosso interesse por essa questão vem da necessidade +de compreender as consequências da política de proibição do uso +do crioulo nas escolas no processo de alfabetização e letramento + +399 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +de crianças. Apesar da proibição e da discriminação sofrida pelos +estudantes falantes do crioulo, na maioria dos casos, os alunos +aprendem a falar primeiro o crioulo para depois aprenderem o +português, que é a língua das escolas, dos documentos – desde os +tempos coloniais (CÁ, 2015, p. 18). +A pesquisadora lança mão da sua própria experiência de +infância, enquanto aluna, para pensar suas questões de pesquisa: +Quando comecei como professora da educação infantil, em Bissau pude perceber +a importância da língua crioula na educação básica e como essa língua é importante +no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. As crianças tinham muitas dificuldades +quando seus processos de alfabetização se davam em português e, muitas vezes, +era necessário que eu explicasse em crioulo para uma boa compreensão por parte +dos alunos. Isso, porque, de certa forma, para esses alunos, a língua portuguesa é +equivalente a uma “língua estrangeira” (LE), mesmo sendo a língua oficial (LO). A +realidade desses alunos não se distancia da minha, pois a minha experiência como +aluna, de escutar o professor ou diretor dizer que não se pode falar em crioulo, +mas somente em português no recinto escolar, me levou a perceber as minhas +limitações enquanto falante do português. Meus pais sempre me orientaram para +ser responsável nos estudos. Quando tirei notas negativas ou vermelhas, cheguei +em casa triste. (CÁ, 2015, p. 19) +Tal experiência contribuiu para que a pesquisadora levantasse +questões relevantes durante a organização da sua pesquisa: +Embora, nesses cinco anos tenha passado direto sem reprovações, isso não bastava, +pois algumas inquietações pairavam sobre a minha mente, a respeito da língua de +ensino, e isso despertou em mim as indagações que levantamos neste trabalho. +Dentre elas, destacaram-se algumas como principais razões desta discussão: +a) a obrigatoriedade do uso da língua portuguesa em todas as instituições públicas +e privadas; +b) a diversidade linguística e cultural dos alunos; +c) a língua portuguesa como única língua de ensino-aprendizagem e +d) a inclusão das línguas maternas no sistema educativo. (CÁ, 2015, p. 19) +Segundo depoimentos dos professores entrevistados, os +alunos que chegam da zona rural, muitas das vezes, não falam o +português nem o crioulo; falam as suas línguas maternas aprendidas +no meio familiar, usadas apenas nas suas comunidades e que não têm +ligação com a língua portuguesa que se aprende na escola. +Nessas circunstâncias, em suas reflexões, Cá chega a apontar, +em um dos seus subtítulos, a língua como um dos principais fatores que pode +contribuir para o insucesso escolar: +Devido à complexidade que envolve a temática, o fracasso dos alunos deve ser +analisado pelos vários fatores e um desses fatores é o linguístico. Muitos alunos + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +400 +abandonam a escola ainda muito novos e apresentam baixos níveis de aprendizagem, +porque não têm um domínio satisfatório e nem trazem de casa uma base linguística +que lhes permitam um uso equilibrado da língua. A linguagem da escola, a legítima, +tem limitado o processo de ensino-aprendizagem desses alunos, sobretudo das +camadas populares, principalmente das zonas rurais. (CÁ, 2015, p. 164) +Após apresentar dados coletados nas duas escolas pesquisadas em +Bissau, em que os alunos, que falam o crioulo guineense ou línguas étnicas +apreendidas no meio familiar, são confrontados a aprender a língua de +ensino e, ao mesmo tempo, o código da língua escrita, como se fosse a +Língua Materna, a pesquisadora continua com sua pergunta inicial. +É importante buscar saber se indagações como essa já foram +levantadas em experiências anteriores. +Em se tratando de Experiências Anteriores, sabe-se da +parceria entre Amílcar Cabral e Paulo Freire, em Guiné-Bissau, +assim como em outros países africanos ex-colônias de Portugal, pela +ênfase na práxis política, na cultura popular e na educação em sua +função libertadora, “uma concepção educacional que leve em conta a +revolução cultural” (FREIRE, apud GADOTTI, 2012, p. 119). +Amílcar Cabral, dirigente do Partido Africano da Independência +da Guiné e Cabo Verde (PAIGC) – a primeira organização de libertação +das colônias portuguesas, fundada em 1956 –, insistia na importância +de todo revolucionário estudar. Dizia ele: “devemos, portanto, diante +das perspectivas favoráveis da nossa luta, estudar cada problema em +profundidade e encontrar para ele a melhor solução. Pensar para agir +e agir para pensar melhor”. Era o político motivando o pedagógico +(CABRAL, 1974, p. 15 apud GADOTTI, 2012, p. 62). +Embora o governo revolucionário tenha decretado que a +alfabetização fosse em português, Freire, educador brasileiro, por +uma pedagogia emancipadora/libertadora, considerava mais coerente +fazê-la em crioulo, buscando explicitar: +Nos círculos de cultura tornou-se evidente que os progressos em português, +que era a língua oficial do país e das suas escolas, como língua do programa +de alfabetização eram extremamente lentos. Esta lentidão deixava claro que o +português era completamente alheio às práticas sociais diárias do vilarejo. +Os vilarejos não conheciam o português, mesmo na sua forma oral. Os grupos +étnicos falam sua língua nativa africana e muitas pessoas, mas não todas, falam +crioulo. Esta língua, uma forma de dialeto derivado do português e enriquecido +pelas linguagens tradicionais africanas, tornou-se difundida na Guiné-Bissau +durante a luta de libertação nacional, quando, justamente, assumiu o papel de +língua oral entre os grupos étnicos. Por isso, hoje é considerada a língua nacional +do país. (IDAC, 1979, p. 42, grifo nosso) + +401 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +Paulo Freire não usava o termo letramento, introduzido +posteriormente nesse campo de estudos. Todavia, nesse trecho, +emprega a expressão práticas sociais, utilizada por Magda Soares, mais +tarde, para conceituar letramento (Cf. SOARES, 1998). +O Centro de Educação Popular Integrada (CEPI), de 1977 a +1984, inspirou-se nas experiências da luta por independência política +que, no campo da educação, foram marcadas fortemente pela visão +da educação libertadora. Cabral não era só um revolucionário da luta +política pela libertação nacional, mas, assim como Freire escreve: “a +Amílcar Cabral, educador-educando de seu povo” (CÁ, 2015, p. 98). +O CEPI colocou o problema da língua de ensino e do ensino da língua +nacional, neste caso o português que era, sobretudo, uma língua estrangeira. Na +realidade, um guineense deveria “possuir” três línguas- a língua da tabanca, que +é em geral a língua da sua etnia, o crioulo-português, língua franca das zonas de +mestiçagem cultural como as cidades e seus subúrbios e o português adotado +como língua nacional, mas na realidade pouco falado e compreendido nas +cidades. (SENA, 1995, p. 75, grifo nosso) +O resultado alcançado mostrou que esse modelo não deveria +limitar-se somente à Educação Popular Integrada, mas que seria +necessário levar suas práticas a toda sala de aula. Então, foram +substituídos os CEPI pelos Centros Experimentais de Educação +e Formação (CEEF), que, por sua vez, entraram com a nova +componente: Formação. A falta de outros Projetos, investindo para o +desenvolvimento na zona rural, dificultou o avanço do mesmo. +Durante a vigência dos CEEF, os materiais eram produzidos +todos em crioulo, a partir de alfabeto de base lexical portuguesa, +porém baseado nos fonemas da língua crioula, com o objetivo da +difusão do bilinguismo no ensino guineense. +As escolas bilíngues do Projeto dos CEEF do INDE +(Instituto Nacional para o Desenvolvimento da Educação), do +Ministério da Educação, funcionavam em três centros: um centro +em Cufar (Catió); outro, em Uno (Ilhas) e em Bará (Canchungo). +Os professores e os pesquisadores que participaram do Projeto +CEEF produziram diversos trabalhos sobre a experiência, os quais +permitem ter uma avaliação consistente dos avanços e das dificuldades +encontradas (CÁ, 2015, p. 100-10l). +O Projeto tinha financiamento da Comunidade Econômica +Europeia (CEE), que depois foi transformada na União Europeia +(UE). Porém o financiamento era canalizado diretamente pela ONG +Centro de Informação Documentação Amílcar Cabral (CIDAC), em +Portugal, que geria os fundos e dava apoio técnico. Tinha também + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +402 +apoio técnico e financeiro do Serviço Holandês de Cooperação e +Desenvolvimento (SNV). O governo nacional não apoiava o projeto +financeiramente. Nas entrevistas realizadas, um dos professores afirma: +“E1 – D5: Surgiu a ideia de alfabetização de crianças em crioulo / +até porque existia uma metodologia própria para a transição de crioulo +para português / que devia ser trabalhada de 1ª a 2ª classe /”. +Nos dados, nota-se essa mesma constatação, em entrevista feita +com técnico-investigador do INDE e pesquisador do Projeto CEEF: +E2- T.I: Chegamos a uma conclusão / se soubermos articular a língua portuguesa +e a língua nacional (crioulo) / com uma dosagem certa neste caso / o resultado +pode surpreender / Pensamos que no 1º trimestre de 2ª classe / deve ser introduzida a +oralidade (língua portuguesa) com o aluno / assim quando chegar na 3ª classe não terá +muito problema com a língua portuguesa. (CÁ, 2015, p. 101-102) +O problema da escolha da língua em que ocorreria a +alfabetização sempre foi, e é, uma das grandes limitações no sistema +educativo guineense. Paulo Freire, nas suas visitas ao país, já apontava +a importância de a alfabetização acontecer em língua crioula. Freire +percebeu a urgência da utilização da língua guineense no processo de +ensino-aprendizagem a partir das suas reflexões sobre os processos +educativos. Da mesma forma, as experiências dos CEEF mostraram +importantes resultados do ensino bilíngue (crioulo/português). +O Projeto CEEF deu importante contribuição para a difusão e a +valorização da língua nacional. No entanto, ele teve a duração de +oito anos até 1994, quando terminou por falta de financiamento. +Assim, havia interesse e boa vontade de alguns profissionais em +dar continuidade ao Projeto bilíngue. O professor Doutor Luigi +Scantamburlo foi um desses profissionais que tiveram a louvável +iniciativa de implementar o Projeto de Apoio ao Ensino Bilíngue no +Arquipélago das Ilhas Bijagós (PAEBB) (CÁ, 2015, p. 19-20). +Hoje em dia, é cada vez maior o número de falantes do crioulo +e a presença da língua crioula nas escolas é frequente, ainda que ela +seja proibida no recinto escolar. A experiência e o conhecimento +linguístico da língua crioula por parte das crianças não têm sido +explorados no processo de alfabetização (CÁ, 2015, p. 20). +Sobre Políticas Linguísticas, em Guiné-Bissau, Diallo +(2007 apud CÁ, 2015, p. 94-95) reafirma que não há uma política +linguística definida no país; e vai ainda mais longe ao dizer que, apesar +de grande prestígio que lhe é atribuído pela Lei, o português convive +sobre bases sociais estreitas. Para Fonseca: +A política linguística em Guiné, através de um decreto-lei 7/2007 de 12 de + +403 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +novembro de 2007, obriga a utilização da língua portuguesa em todas as +instituições públicas, nomeadamente nas escolas e, especialmente, dentro da sala +de aula e no recinto escolar. (FONSECA, 2011, p. 92 apud CÁ, 2015, p. 95) +Assim, é preciso definir o papel e o lugar que cada língua +ocupa por meio da política linguística. Scantamburlo esclarece que: +Na Guiné-Bissau o multilinguismo é uma realidade e esta realidade deve ser encarada +como uma riqueza e não como uma ameaça à unidade nacional. Além disso, o +multilinguismo, se bem gerido, garante aos cidadãos o direito linguístico, que foi +reconhecido como um dos direitos fundamentais no Artigo 29 da “Declaração +Universal de Direitos Linguísticos”. (SCANTAMBURLO, 2002, p. 40) +Assim, nos tempos atuais, as perguntas de Cá continuam, em +se tratando de Políticas Linguísticas: por que não alfabetizar as crianças +também na língua do convívio, da socialização e da interação social +do cotidiano, a partir de uma perspectiva plurilíngue? (CÁ, 2015, p. 20). +ANGOLA: LÍNGUAS LOCAIS DE ORIGEM AFRICANA? +Com base na investigação do pesquisador angolano Silvestre +Gomes, para além do português, existem oito principais línguas +angolanas de origem africana, com 90 (noventa) a 100 (cem) +variantes, umbundu, kimbundu, kikongo, tchokwé, fiote/ibinda, nganguela, +nyaneca-humbi e kwanyama. Nenhuma dessas línguas tem a categoria +de oficialidade (status), ficando apenas no plano de relações mais +próximas, em nível local (GOMES, 2014, p. 58). +Sobre Políticas Linguísticas, segundo o pesquisador +angolano, há, no seu país, uma experiência-piloto da inserção de +línguas locais no Sistema de Ensino, que ainda está na sua fase +inicial. Foram aprovados, a título experimental, pela Resolução 3/78, +de 23 de Maio de 1987, do Conselho de Ministros, os alfabetos das +línguas kikongo, kimbundu, umbundu, cokwe, oxikwanyama e mbunda e suas +respectivas regras de transcrição (GOMES, 2014, p. 66). +Com a aprovação dos alfabetos e das normas de transcrição das +seis línguas, Angola começava um processo de planificação linguística, +abrindo, assim, a possibilidade de políticas linguísticas regionais, já que +as línguas cujos alfabetos foram aprovados eram de circunscrições +regionais. As línguas com alfabetos aprovados pelo Estado estão em +vias de ser inseridas no Sistema de Ensino, mas essa inserção precisa +de um instrumento legal que possa conferir às referidas línguas um +posicionamento social, ou seja, a definição do estatuto dessas línguas. +Ao serem inseridas, serão avaliadas em que categoria? Línguas +nacionais, línguas co-oficiais? (GOMES, 2014, p. 60). + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +404 +Segundo Faulstich (1998), o conceito de planificação linguística +se apoia num projeto linguístico coletivo. Por visar à harmonização +linguística, a planificação deverá resultar de um consenso social para +que seja bem-sucedida. Uma planificação linguística que se paute por +um trabalho inclusivo, reunindo as línguas e/ou auscultando os falantes +das diversas línguas ou dialetos de uma mesma língua, contribui para +o estabelecimento de uma política linguística nacional. Ainda para +a autora, a planificação é regulamentada pelas disposições jurídicas +que, em matéria de língua, acabam por se constituir num conjunto de +regras legisladoras (FAULSTICH, 1998 apud GOMES, 2014, p. 59). +Nesse sentido, podemos afirmar que a planificação linguística +é uma matéria reservada para o Estado, que tem o poder de legislar +sobre as questões atinentes à(s) língua(s). +A partir do momento em que o Estado se preocupa em administrar sua situação +linguística, apresenta-se o problema de saber de que meios ele dispõe para isso. +Como intervir na forma das línguas? Como modificar as relações entre as línguas? +Quais processos que permitem passar de uma política, estágio de escolhas gerais, +ao estágio de implementação do planejamento linguístico? (CALVET, 2007, p. 61) +As respostas às questões apresentadas pelo autor constituem +pontos fundamentais para a planificação linguística. Um grupo de +pessoas isolado não pode decidir sobre a forma a dar a uma língua. É +ao poder estatal que está reservada essa prerrogativa. Quando se fala +de padronização de uma língua, está aí implícita a existência de uma +variedade de maneiras de falar, e a padronização é o ato e o momento de +se escolher qual língua ensinar, qual língua usar nas situações legais e que +regras devem ser respeitadas para que seja instituído o conceito de certo e +errado. Só o Estado, nas vestes dos poderes que detém sobre os cidadãos, +poderá enfrentar qualquer reação, e só ele poderá impor as regras. +Entretanto, entre outros importantes fatores, como o uso +generalizado em várias instâncias sociais, é também por vontade +política que outra situação pode se estabelecer, na relação entre as +classes sociais, em determinados países, como em África. De acordo +com Calvet (2007), os Estados podem promover ou despromover o +status de uma determinada língua, o que quer dizer que o prestígio de +uma língua não depende da própria língua, mas, sim, dos interesses +que a classe dominante tem em relação a essa língua. Assim, um +Estado pode determinar, segundo critérios de natureza política, qual +ou quais línguas serão alçadas à condição de língua oficial (CALVET, +2007 apud GOMES, 2014, p. 56). +Para uma planificação linguística, Calvet (2007) apresenta +os equipamentos necessários para conduzir uma boa política + +405 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +linguística. O primeiro equipamento é a escrita, que deverá obedecer +a determinados estágios, começando pela atribuição de um sistema +de escrita para línguas ágrafas, o que implica, em primeiro lugar, o +estabelecimento de uma descrição fonológica, para, depois, escolher +um tipo de escrita: alfabética ou não alfabética, e, se for o caso, o tipo +de alfabeto. A segunda fase da escrita será a divulgação do sistema de +escrita selecionado, através de abecedários, manuais, da organização +de campanhas de alfabetização, da introdução da língua escrita no +sistema escolar, no meio gráfico. +Dentro dessa planificação, falta, ainda, um equipamento, que é +o repertório lexical. Calvet (2007) apresenta um segundo equipamento +da planificação linguística: o léxico. Todas as línguas possuem +um repertório lexical, pois é esse corpus vocabular que permite a +comunicação entre os falantes de cada língua, mas, para as línguas +que, por via de uma planificação linguística, saem da situação de +ágrafas, há uma necessidade de se criarem os canais de compreensão +de objetos e ideias vindas de outras culturas e da tecnologia. Aqui +se notará a necessidade de se pedir emprestado das outras línguas +termos que designam conceitos criados pelo avanço técnico-científico. +Em algumas línguas, como kimbundu, umbundu e kikongo, o repertório +lexical é mais documentado, por já possuírem dicionários. +O esforço do governo para inventariar as línguas tem a ver com +a necessidade de se reconhecer Angola não como país monolíngue, +mas como um país onde uma variedade grande de línguas locais de +origem africana convive com a língua portuguesa, língua que foi +adotada como oficial logo após a independência. +A Constituição de 2010, no Artigo 21, introduz a expressão +“línguas angolanas de origem africana: que a Lei promete +proteger, valorizar e dignificar como património cultural, e promover +o seu desenvolvimento, como línguas de identidade nacional e de +comunicação” Constituição (GOMES, 2014, p. 72, grifo nosso). +Como sua pesquisa foi realizada em Cabinda, o pesquisador +acrescenta que, desde 2001, na “Estratégia Integrada para Melhoria +do Sistema da Educação (2001-2015)”, o Conselho de Ministros +reconhece a língua de Cabinda como diferente do kikongo, ao traçar +como uma das tarefas a “edição e produção de 14 títulos (manuais) +para alfabetização e pós-alfabetização em língua portuguesa e em +línguas nacionais: umbundu, kimbundu, kikongo, tchokwé, ibinda, nganguela, +nyaneca-humbi e kwanyama” (CONSELHO DE MINISTROS, 2001, p. +30 apud GOMES, 2014, p. 73). +Desde 2008, o Instituto de Línguas Nacionais (ILN) e o +Instituto Nacional de Investigação e Desenvolvimento da Educação + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +406 +(INIDE) vêm realizando seminários em todas as províncias, com +vistas à preparação de condições para a inserção das línguas locais +de origem africana no Sistema de Ensino. No quadro desses +seminários metodológicos, ressaltou-se que o estudo das línguas +nacionais e da cultura de cada região constitui elemento essencial +para o desenvolvimento de um povo, por caracterizar a identidade +dos cidadãos duma determinada zona (GOMES, 2014, p. 74). +Em síntese, as questões linguísticas, em Angola, fazem suscitar +muitos debates, sobretudo, quando se fala da valorização das línguas +angolanas de origem africana. No contexto angolano, a denominação +“língua materna” é interpretada como sinônimo de línguas locais de +origem africana, mas, na realidade, não são apenas as línguas angolanas +de origem africana que podem ser consideradas maternas no contexto +linguístico angolano. O português, apesar de ser uma língua de origem +externa, é a maior língua materna que se encontra em Angola, pois tem +o maior número de falantes, tanto como língua materna, quanto como +segunda língua. As línguas locais de origem africana, designadas por +muitos como línguas nacionais e maternas, têm um raio de influência +muito limitado, não passando do domínio local ou regional, razão por +termos adotado, a denominação “línguas locais de origem africana”. +O processo de inserção dessas línguas no sistema de educação formal +obedece a critérios geográficos ou regionais, evitando conflitos +etnolinguísticos; portanto cada zona linguística nacional ensina e +aprende a sua língua (GOMES, 2015, p. 77). +Questões como as implicações políticas, como a definição de +um estatuto das línguas locais de origem africana, a sua oficialização +como língua de trabalho e de escolarização permanecem abertas. +Às implicações políticas se juntam as questões com implicações +pedagógicas, como a preparação de materiais didáticos em línguas de +origem africana, a tomada de consciência, por parte dos professores, +da importância do uso das línguas locais no processo de compreensão +dos conteúdos científicos (GOMES, 2014, p. 148). +Os mecanismos da inserção de línguas locais de origem +africana no ensino, entre outros temas, estão ainda por merecer outros +estudos. Do ponto de vista político, é tarefa do Estado a planificação +linguística e a adoção de políticas normativas sobre a sistematização +e a valorização dessas línguas. Do ponto de vista pedagógico, caberá +à escola materializar as políticas concebidas superiormente pelos +órgãos governamentais no que toca o ensino em línguas locais +de origem africana. Em suma, os resultados desta pesquisa, caso +sejam aproveitados pelas autoridades educativas e pela comunidade + +407 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +acadêmica do país, poderão contribuir para a implementação de +políticas linguísticas no sistema de ensino (GOMES, 2014, p. 149). +ALFABETIZAÇÃO E LETRAMENTO(S) +Para pensar processos de Literacias(s)/Letramento(s) e +Alfabetização em Contextos Multilíngues, as pesquisas apresentadas +neste texto trazem produtivas contribuições. Guiné-Bissau centra-se +em ricas experiências anteriores de valorização do crioulo – guineense +–, enquanto que Angola investe em possibilidades de Políticas +Linguísticas a serem implementadas pelo Estado, a fim de responder a +questões que permeiam essas discussões, apontando ambos os estudos +para uma experimentação educativa plurilíngue, mesmo que seja de +modo bilíngue, em que “cada zona linguística nacional”, além da língua +oficial, “ensina e aprende a sua língua” (GOMES, 2014, p. 77). +Em se tratando de todos esses discursos, de todas essas +tensões, torna-se fundamental pensar uma formação de professores +que possa considerar os processos de Letramento(s) e Alfabetização +(SOARES, 1998) como práticas sociais de leitura e escrita, associadas +à escolarização dos sujeitos, em seus contextos. +Soares (2004), tratando de suas experiências em processos de +formação de professores brasileiros, acrescenta que “desnecessário +se torna destacar, por óbvias, as consequências, nesse novo quadro +referencial, para a formação de profissionais responsáveis pela +aprendizagem inicial da língua escrita por crianças em processo de +escolarização” (SOARES, 2004, p. 31, grifo nosso). +Street (2014), escrevendo sobre Letramentos Sociais, +tratando do modelo “ideológico” do Letramento, que considera as +práticas sociais específicas de leitura e escrita – em contraposição ao +modelo “autônomo” de Letramento, que o associa a “progresso” e +“civilização” –, ressalta “a importância do processo de socialização +na construção do significado do letramento para os participantes”, +levando “em conta as percepções locais”, a fim de evitar uma visão +“forasteira” do letramento (STREET, 2014, p. 44, 47). +Compartilhamos desse posicionamento, ao trabalhar com +países de língua portuguesa, por uma perspectiva horizontal de +cooperação, construindo cada um sua identidade cultural própria, +com as concepções do seu convívio, da socialização e da interação +social do cotidiano. Sabemos que, em experiências anteriores, Paulo +Freire e a equipe do Instituto de Ação Cultural/IDAC – Guiné- + +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +408 +Bissau (FREIRE et al., 1982) já pensavam e agiam assim, pois tinham +clareza do papel da assessoria: os assessores não deviam “fazer por”, +não deveriam substituir a própria população nem seus dirigentes. A +ajuda verdadeira, dizia ele, “é aquela em que os que nela se envolvem +se engajam mutuamente, crescendo juntos no esforço comum de +conhecer a realidade que buscam transformar” (FREIRE, 1977, p. 16). +CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS +Os cinco países africanos de língua portuguesa encontram- +se em situação semelhante, de multilinguismo, utilizando como +oficial a língua da colonização: Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, +Moçambique e São Tomé e Príncipe. No caso moçambicano, por +exemplo, em consequência de grandes batalhas sociolinguísticas, +segundo o 104o Boletim do Instituto Internacional da Língua +Portuguesa/IILP, o Ministério da Educação e Desenvolvimento +Humano de Moçambique anunciou, em 18 de março de 2015, que o +ensino primário vai usar as 16 línguas nacionais, chamadas de línguas +nativas, apontando para o ensino bilíngue. +Nesse sentido, Diallo, reportando-se a essa questão africana, +destaca a importância de uma política linguística como um imperativo +pedagógico, levando-se em conta a realidade sociocultural dos alunos: +Se é verdade que qualquer desenvolvimento procede de uma visão, África deve +então dar-se conta de que os seus cidadãos comem, bebem, dormem e sonham +através da suas línguas, pelo que o seu desenvolvimento deve ser construído na +base do instrumento que exprime da melhor maneira os seus sonhos, interesses, +suas necessidades e aspirações. (DIALLO, 2007, p. 26) +No seu papel de etnógrafo e historiador, Carreira constata: “o +problema da adopção de uma língua africana a nível de língua oficial +(é o caso de Serra Leoa, de Cabo Verde, da Guiné, etc.) aparenta-se +meritório e marca bem o grau de evolução mental de certos sectores +cultos dos jovens países” (Carta a Christopher Fyfe, de 19/11/1982, +Cf. LOPES FILHO, 2015, p. 102). +Para o historiador africano Joseph Ki-Zerbo (2009, p. 72), +“pensar o Estado, a partir da natureza plurinacional das sociedades, +seria necessário, na minha opinião, regressar à alfabetização e à +escolarização nas línguas maternas africanas”. Para o autor, alfabetizar +nas línguas maternas seria necessário à sociedade africana como um +todo (CÁ, 2015, p. 90). + +409 +Educação em Revista|Belo Horizonte|v.32|n.04|p. 391-412 |Outubro-Dezembro 2016 +Nesse sentido, este texto, que tratou de duas pesquisas +realizadas, no âmbito do terceiro eixo da Pesquisa em Rede – tensão +entre língua oficial/línguas maternas – tende a apontar a necessidade +de pesquisadores/educadores, bem como administradores e +representantes políticos, repensarem os contextos multilíngues +africanos de língua portuguesa nos moldes do que pensa Veiga (2004, +p. 12), a partir do seu país, não somente quando afirma que “a língua +primeira constitui a melhor referência na aprendizagem de uma +segunda língua”, mas também, e sobretudo, em relação à Construção +do Bilinguismo Funcional: +Ao português que já é língua oficial e de situações formais de comunicação, torna- +se necessário alargar o seu ensino e conferir-lhe o estatuto de língua do quotidiano +informal, em paridade com a Lcv [Língua Caboverdiana]. Quanto à Lcv que já é +língua do quotidiano informal, há que se reconhecer-lhe o estatuto oficial em +paridade com a Lp, reforçar o seu uso formal e implementar o seu ensino, do +primário ao universitário […] Tal política linguística é uma exigência da nossa +história, da nossa cultura, da nossa identidade (VEIGA, 2004, p. 129, grifo nosso). +Dessa forma, será possível a cada país, repensando a +especificidade dos seus aspectos histórico-culturais, considerar tanto +o valor histórico/simbólico da Língua da Colonização, quanto o valor +cognitivo/cultural das Línguas Locais. +REFERÊNCIAS +AMÂNCIO, I.

Thus, we can +describe it as loss of subjective presence or “mineness” for the experience of pain. +Keywords: interoception, self-awareness, depersonalization, predictive processing, pain asymbolia +INTRODUCTION +The topic of this article is a form of experience variously baptized “subjective presence,” +“mineness,” or “personalization” (Seth et al., 2011; Seth, 2013; Billon, 2017a; Guillot, 2017). +As the name suggests, it refers to the feeling that experiences belong to a continuing self or +comprise autobiographical episodes. The nature and even existence of this elusive phenomenon are +contested. However, one important reason for thinking that this form of experience is a genuine +phenomenon is a pathological condition in which subjects claim that experiences feel as though +they do not “belong to them.” In such cases, subjects are not in doubt that they are the subject of +experience, sensory, bodily, or cognitive, but they report feeling as though the experience is not +“theirs.” Such experiences comprise the essence of disorders of depersonalization. These disorders +suggest that the feeling of mineness has a distinct phenomenological signature, which can be lost in +some conditions, and invites investigation of its causes and typical and atypical manifestation. +As Alexandre Billon puts it: +“Every sensation has such a coefficient; we do not notice it, always encountering it; we need to be confronted +with exceptional and pathological cases (. . .) to notice it and measure its importance (Billon, 2017a). +As a way to develop an account of this experience, I focus on a condition called pain asymbolia, +aptly described by Klein (2015) as “depersonalization for pain.” In pain asymbolia, subjects report +feeling detached from painful experience as though it is happening in their body but is not “theirs.” +It presents as a case of loss of “mineness” for the experience of pain. Pain asymbolia is of particular +interest because pain is a bodily state that is normally felt as urgently belonging to the self. For +example, Descartes thought it as one of the bodily states that “teach me that. . . I compose a +single thing with it [my body].” Wittgenstein’s anti-Cartesian meditations on pain were devoted +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +1 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +to explaining the intuition that one could not be in doubt that one +was the subject of painful experience. “It is nonsense to say that +“I know I am in pain” as it means nothing more than that “I am +in pain” (Philosophical Investigations 246). +The account of pain asymbolia I provide situates it in the +framework of active inference theories of embodied selfhood, +emotion, affect, and self-awareness (Friston et al., 2011; +Limanowski and Blankenburg, 2013; Pezzulo et al., 2015; Barrett +et al., 2016; Seth and Friston, 2016; Kirchhoffet al., 2018). +One version of that framework is proposed by Hohwy and +Michael (2017). They argue that experience of embodied selfhood +is the product of an inference about the hidden causes of +interoceptive (representation of states of the internal milieu) +experience. On their view, the mind integrates signals from +disparate interoceptive channels by inferring that they have a +common origin in a unified entity: a bodily self. +This account forms part of an active inference account that +treats cognition and action as a hierarchically integrated suite of +processes whose goal is reduction of variational free energy. On +this account, cognition is the iterative use of generative models +(representations) to predict the consequences of actions taken to +optimize organismic functioning (Friston, 2010; Hohwy, 2013; +Pezzulo et al., 2015). Discrepancies between predicted and actual +sensory consequences of action, signaled as prediction errors, +entrain the next round of action to reduce error or optimize the +model. The active inference theory tells us that prediction error +is best minimized over the long term by attributing internally +generated interoceptive sensations to a stable, unified entity, a self +(Limanowski and Blankenburg, 2013; Hohwy and Michael, 2017; +Letheby and Gerrans, 2017). This process of self-modeling creates +a basic bodily form of self-awareness. +As Anil Seth puts it: +“Mental representations of selfhood are ultimately grounded in +representations of the body, with the internal physiological milieu +providing a primary reference—a ‘material me”’ (Seth, 2014). +As suggested by Seth, material me provides an anchor for +other forms of self-representation. Sensorimotor control, agency, +perceptual perspective, and explicit narrative self-representation +are cognitive processes that require a form of implicit or explicit +self-representation: a model of the entity that sustains the relevant +process. The basic sense of being the continuing subject of +experience on whose behalf all these activities are performed +is the awareness of material me and underpins other forms of +self-representation and awareness. +The +explanation +of +mineness +and +its +absence +in +depersonalization I propose focuses attention on a particular +form of interoceptive self-representation, namely, affective +self-representation. In affective self-representation, the mind +models the bodily self as the source of affective experience and +target of affective regulation. This level of self-modeling produces +the experience of being the person/entity whose affective states +modulate as her goals are realized or frustrated in action. We can +call this the experience of being affective me. +At still higher levels of self-modeling, we deploy explicit +conceptual or imagistic representations of the self. This is the level +at which we self-attribute character and personality traits using a +self-concept. We can call this self-model narrative me because it +models the self as the protagonist of a recountable autobiography +(Schechtman, 2011; Goldie, 2011). +Affective me and interoceptive me are very closely related, +because affective experience is a form of interoceptive experience. +However, they are distinguishable, particularly in conditions such +as depersonalization in which they dissociate. These conditions +do not seem to be the result of loss of interoceptive or other +basic capacities for body sensation and regulation. Rather, I +shall argue that depersonalization is the result of a failure of +affective self-modeling resulting from impairment in the neural +substrates of affective me. Someone with depersonalization +experience has the intractable experience of an intact material and +narrative me, combined with hypoactivity in the circuitry that +sustains affective me. +The concept of an affective me produced by interoceptive +active inference integrates and synthesizes ideas advanced in +different forms by a variety of theorists across disciplines +of psychiatry neuroscience cognitive science and philosophy. +I first explain the concept of interoceptive active inference +and show how it explains (i) how interoception and affective +experience are related via the process of hierarchical self- +modeling, (ii) how the framework explains the role of the +anterior insula cortex (AIC) in producing the experience +of “mineness,” “subjective presence,” or “personalization” of +experience. I then apply the framework to the explanation of +pain aysmbolia. Pain asymbolia is a case in which nociceptive +signals (of bodily damage) are not integrated with affective +signals because of hypoactivity in the anterior insula. The +mind, however, predicts that affective me will feel distress as +a consequence of pain/nociception. The result is a prediction +error that cannot be resolved because relevant affective and self- +modeling mechanisms are deactivated. As a result, when an +experience of pain, predicted to have a strong affective signature, +does not produce affect, the subject feels as though it is not +happening to her. +MATERIAL ME: INTEROCEPTION AS +ALLOSTATIC ACTIVE INFERENCE +Interoceptive and affective states have a common basis in +allostatic (action to optimize internal body states in context) +regulation. Allostasis is a refinement of the concept of +homeostasis, which implies a reflexive return to an optimal +“set point” for levels of basic bodily function such as blood +oxygenation. Allostasis extends that concept, recognizing that +optimality for some variables requires variation according to +context rather than maintenance of a single optimal set point. In +fact, it can be helpful to think of homeostasis and allostasis as on a +continuum of flexibility. Some functions (like blood oxygenation) +have very tight parameters and are context insensitive. Others +(like blood pressure) need to fluctuate more widely to sustain +viability of the organism. Thus, some variables representing +body state are monitored not only in relation to a homeostatic +set point, but also in relation to their departure from a level +predicted as optimal in context (Barrett and Simmons, 2015; +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +2 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +Barrett et al., 2016; Corcoran and Hohwy, 2017; Kleckner et al., +2017). Allostasis thus introduces an element of forecasting to +homeostatic regulation. +“Interoception and homeostatic regulation are inevitably linked +and form a closed loop: tuning the set points of homeostatic reflex +arcs depends on accurate allostatic predictions about future bodily +states; these predictions, in turn, depend on accurate inference about +current bodily states” (Stephan et al., 2016). +Interoception is the integrated representation of information +about states of very basic, dynamically controlled, bodily +processes such as blood oxygenation and endocrine and +electrolyte balance for the purpose of allostatic regulation. In +order to regulate the body, interoception models the hidden +causes of allostatic fluctuations by attributing them to a +unified entity (Limanowski and Blankenburg, 2013; Moutoussis +et al., 2014; Sel, 2014; Barrett, 2017; Seth and Tsakiris, +2018; Wiese, 2018). The unified hidden cause of allostatic +variation along multiple dimensions tracked and integrated in +interoception is material me. +Interoception effectively integrates disparate streams of +information about basic bodily regulation to inform us of +global organismic state relative to predicted state. As Seth and +Tsakiris (2018) point out, we feel the results of dehydration, +poisoning or deoxygenation, but the effects are felt globally at +the level of conscious awareness in sensations such as fatigue. +When we attend to states such as thirst or fatigue, we do not +succeed in more precisely representing the causal structure of +the entities responsible for the experience (for example, the +molecular mechanisms of dehydration or shifts in the production +of metabolites and effects on neurotransmission). Rather, the +goal is to establish the degree of departure from optimality of +a global feeling state so that we can manage it at the systemic +level (e.g., by drinking or resting). Interoceptive experience thus +provides a personal-level proxy for the regulation of low-level +homeostatic/allostatic variables whose mechanisms are opaque +to introspection Joffily and Coricelli, 2013). The predictive or +forecasting aspect is introduced by the need to regulate, by +anticipating interoceptive fluctuations, and to evaluate actual +state against those predictions. In other words, when we feel +fatigue, we feel overall energy depletion relative to a prediction +of optimal energy levels for that context. Interoceptive regulation +uses experience to predict +“how an action would affect physiological homeostasis, given a +model” (Seth and Tsakiris, 2018). +The idea that interoception is experienced as a systemic +non-localized +phenomenon +connects +with +an +interesting +metaphysical point made by Wiese (2018) in his discussion +of self-representation and predictive coding. Like Letheby +and Gerrans (2017) and Hohwy and Michael, he argues that, +phenomenologically, the self seems to be a substance: an enduring +entity that underlies changing sensations and perceptions. Wiese +points out, however, that interoceptive experience does not +specify a particular localizable entity in a way that allows +further discovery by the attentive deployment of perception or +theoretical inference, because there is no concrete (by which he +means spatiotemporally located) object of interoception to focus +on. Wiese has an intricate and sophisticated predictive processing +account of the sense of being the subject of experience as an +“abstract enduring object” to which experience is salient. Abstract +because it is a higher-order amodal integrator of lower-order +information streams, and enduring because it represents the +continuing entity in which those streams cohere. +“the apparent substantiality of the phenomenal self is explained +by a structural feature of this salience model: it binds different +dimensions +of +salience +by +representations +of +higher-order +dimensions of salience (just as more abstract object representations +bind representations of perceptual features in predictive processing +accounts of feature binding)” (Wiese, 2018). +The +similarity +between +material +me, +qua +object +of +interoception, and objects of perception is their explanatory +role as underlying hidden cause of coherence in experience. The +difference between material me and objects of visual perception +is the non-concreteness of material me. Seth and Tsakiris make a +similar point to Weise. +“instrumental (control-oriented) interoceptive inference plausibly +underlies a phenomenology related to the evaluation of the allostatic +consequences of regulatory actions. A non-localized, non–object- +based phenomenology associated with both mood and emotion, and +with the pre-reflective (i.e., non-reflexive) self-related experience of +being an embodied organism (Seth and Tsakiris, 2018). +AFFECTIVE ME: EMOTION AS +INTEROCEPTIVE ACTIVE INFERENCE +So far, we have only explained why interoception creates “the pre- +reflective self-related experience of being an embodied organism” +as Seth and Tsakiris put it. The short answer is that allostatic +regulation requires us to experience ourselves in interoception as +an integrated entity to serve as the target of regulation. However, +we have not begun to explain (i) how it is that interoception is +associated with mood and emotion and (ii) how it is that this +account can be mobilized to explain how people can feel detached +from their bodily experiences in cases of depersonalization +and pain asymbolia. +To do so, we need to explain the higher levels and dimensions +of interoceptive self-modeling. The starting point is to note +that some signals of body state are “vital signs.” Fatigue, +sustained high temperature, or intractable nociception threatens +the organism and requires urgent action. Consequently, we +have evolved the capacity to feel such states, not simply as +perturbations of body state, but as urgently motivating. Affective +processes provide this “feeling of what matters” to slightly modify +Antonio Damasio’s phrase. +Damasio’s account is a neo (William) Jamesian account +of emotion, affect, and self-awareness that grounds all these +experiences in bodily processing. The history of this idea and the +way it is expressed are not uniform across the disciplines. Not +everyone is using terms the same way. So, somewhat stipulatively, +let me say I am using the term self-awareness to refer to a +feeling of being the entity whose continued life underpins other +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +3 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +forms of experience. I use the term representation to refer to +information-bearing structures. There is no implication that the +content of such structures is always consciously experienced. +Thus, self-representation can be conscious or unconscious, but +self-awareness is experienced. And I use emotion in a standard +way derived from analysis of prototypical episodes of mental life +(for example sadness, nostalgia, anger) that are evaluative and +motivational, have characteristic bodily and behavioral indices, +and are, typically, felt (Deonna and Teroni, 2012). I use the term +affect to refer to a form of experience that carries emotional +content. Thus, affect is common to emotion, which usually has +an identifiable eliciting object, and mood, which does not. The +feeling of anxiety can be part of an episode of emotion (anxiety +about a specific forthcoming event) or, in the case of anxious +mood, a feeling of hypervigilance and uncertainty without a +particular object. +The idea that emotional episodes have evaluative, behavioral, +cognitive, and affective components is part of the appraisal theory +of emotion (Scherer, 2004; Grandjean et al., 2008). On this theory, +emotional processes evaluate (appraise) the relevance of events +(including internal events such as allostatic prediction error) +for the organism. We might say that cognition and perception +represent aspects of the world, and emotional processes represent +the significance of that information for the well-being of the +organism. And to do so, they need to model the organism as +an entity with goals realized or frustrated in action (including +internal regulatory action) (Scherer, 2004; Kalisch et al., 2006; +Grandjean et al., 2008; Kalisch, 2009; Brosch and Sander, 2013). +This explains the subtle relationship between affective +processing and interoception. Interoception integrates and +aggregates allostatic variables to inform us of global organismic +state. Emotional processes evaluate interoceptive signals against +expectations about goal satisfaction in context. The result is +experienced as an affective state. And affective states inherit from +the interoceptive processes they metarepresent two interesting +properties. They are intimately felt as states of a self, and +at same time, they are global and non-localized. We do not +experience sadness as a change in the state of a perceived +object but as a global, overall feeling state of affective me. +And in the same way as interoceptive experience is a proxy +for allostatic regulation affective experience is a higher-level +proxy for lower-level regulation. Experience or anticipation of +danger, for example, prompts a suite of cognitive and behavioral +responses that entrain a set of lower-level activities designed to +optimize organismic function. +In order to provide the affective interpretation of changes in +body state, affective processes exploit extra layers of emotional +processing +that +metarepresent +and +interpret +interoceptive +signals (Stephan et al., 2016). The emotional interpretation +of interoceptive signals requires integrating the interoceptive +signal with information about the emotional salience of the +situation and the subject’s affective history. In other words, +“should material me expect to feel like this given the (emotional) +context?” +For +predictive +processing +theories +of +emotion, +predictive models of the emotional context set parameters +that determine how physiological changes are regulated and +experienced. Thus, interdependent models representing the +emotional world (hostile, favorable, tractable for me) and the +capacities of the organism to deal with that world interpret +and predict interoceptive changes in a continuous cycle. It is in +that sense that emotional processes are forms of interoceptive +active inference (Barrett and Simmons, 2015; Barrett et al., +2016; Barrett, 2017; Kleckner et al., 2017). They provide higher- +level interpretive and regulatory models for the reduction of +interoceptive prediction error signals. Thus, emotional processes +are part of a hierarchy of active inference. Interoception +is allostatic active inference, and emotion is interoceptive +active inference. +Still higher levels of self-modeling, narrative or conceptual, +interpret and predict states of affective me, and one can see +that other forms of self-representation and related experience, +agential, and sensorimotor are guided and reinforced by their +effects on affective me. In the end, without affective me, we are an +organism to whom the world and its own states, as represented +by our battery of cognitive faculties, no longer matter. +NEURAL CORRELATES OF MATERIAL +AND AFFECTIVE ME: EMOTIONAL +TRANSCRIPTION +Affective +experience +is +produced +by +emotional +processes +that integrate interoceptive information with perception and +cognition to produce the “feeling of what happens,” in Antonio +Damasio’s phrase. To create this feeling, emotional processes +effectively transcribe bodily feelings into affective experiences. +This is why an interoceptive state such as fatigue can be +experienced as disconsolate apathy when transcribed emotionally +as part of an episode of sadness. As a bodily state, it has +a particular experiential signature. Transcribed by emotional +processes as the state of a self, rendered hopeless by an +irretrievable loss, it has an affective signature. Given the way +emotional and interoceptive processes are woven together, almost +every interoceptive state is transcribed like this. It takes disorders +and dissociations, such as pain asymbolia or rare states of +emotional neutrality, to decompose their interactions. There is +an analogy with delusions of misidentification (DMS) based on +loss of predicted affective response to familiar faces. Normally, +the feeling of familiarity evoked by recognizing a face is not +salient amid the flux of experience, but when it is absent, +the experience is of seeing a familiar but feeling “as if” one +sees a stranger. Similarly, when one’s own body is damaged, +the mind predicts an affective response. When that feeling is +absent, it feels “as if” the experience is not happening to the +subject. It is actually a striking parallel between disorders of +depersonalization and the experiential (or first stage as it is +sometimes called) component of DMS that they are reported +in “as if” vocabulary (Breen et al., 2001; Brighetti et al., 2007; +Coltheart et al., 2010). In both cases, the loss of predicted affective +response combined with preserved cognition in other relevant +domains (face recognition or nociception/interoception) creates +the experience of estrangement. +The fatigue of depression and its morphing into disconsolate +apathy provides a nice case study of the role of hierarchical +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +4 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +interoceptive inference in producing affective me. Fatigue is an +adaptive state designed to restore depleted subsystemic function. +If, however, fatigue is intractably sustained, the result will be +a persistent homeostatic/allostatic error signal experienced as a +characteristic interoceptive state: weariness and exhaustion. The +active inference hierarchy will exploit higher-level models to +interpret and contextualize these interoceptive signals (Barrett +et al., 2016; Friston et al., 2018; Velasco and Loev, 2020). +Those higher-level models include models of affective me and +narrative me that predict the effects on feeling state of activity +across system, given the subject’s life history. Initially, such +models predict restoration consequent on rest. If, however, the +homeostatic error signals “from below” cannot be canceled, +higher-level models can be revised to reflect that signal. This +reflects the general principle that the hierarchical processing +system settles into a state that minimizes error across the system. +The self will be modeled as unable to control basic states and +to act efficaciously in the world. At the level of affective me, the +state is now felt as apathy and anhedonia, possibly anxiety at the +prospect of exertion. At the level of narrative self-representation, +thoughts of hopelessness and inadequacy can come to dominate. +As Stephan et al., put it in their predictive processing account of +fatigue and depression: +“belief +of +failure +at +one’s +most +fundamental +task— +homeostatic/allostatic regulation—. . . arises from experiencing +enhanced interoceptive surprise. We suggest that fatigue is +a (possibly adaptive) initial allostatic response to a state of +interoceptive surprise; if dyshomeostasis continues, the belief of low +allostatic self- efficacy and lack of control may pervade all domains +of cognition and manifests as a generalized sense of helplessness, +with depression as a consequence” (Stephan et al., 2016). +This quotation suggests a bottom-up etiology (“belief arises”), +but active inference accounts such as this also give a constitutive +role to top-down models in reconfiguring low-level allostatic +processing. As Seth puts it: +“On this theory of interoceptive inference [. . .], emotional states +(i.e., subjective feeling states) arise from top-down predictive +inference of the causes of interoceptive sensory signals [. . .]” (Seth +and Friston, 2016, p. 9). +The hierarchical nature of interoceptive processing and +emotional processing is reflected in cytoarchitecture (Barrett +and Simmons, 2015). Sections of the posterior insula cortex +(PIC) take primary interoceptive afferents and integrate those +representations to coordinate basic regulatory functions. The +PIC, for example, integrates values of allostatic variables +such as blood pressure and hydration as well as nociception +(bodily damage). These signals are progressively remapped and +integrated with other information at higher levels of cognition. +Although it is not the only channel for bodily signaling, its role +as a primary integrative hub of interoceptive afferents makes +PIC a crucial substrate of the experience of material me (Singer +et al., 2009; Medford and Critchley, 2010; Gasquoine, 2014; +Moayedi, 2014). +The +AIC +is +specialized +to +re-represent +and +integrate +information about body state to allow us to feel the significance +of interoceptive states as affects. AIC sits at the apex of the so- +called “salience system,” the neural hierarchy that signals whether +and how information matters to the organism. In order to +perform its role, it must communicate with emotional processing +hubs that coordinate appraisal of that information at all levels +(Craig, 2009a; Craig, 2009b; Garfinkel and Critchley, 2013). The +AIC is an enigmatic and functionally ubiquitous system widely +connected to both lower- and higher-level processing circuitry. +One telling feature is its consistent involvement in the processing +of self-relevant information and the switching/anticorrelation +between executive and default processing (a key substrate of +narrative me) (Starr et al., 2009). Another is its connectivity to +hubs of lower- and higher-level emotional appraisal (amygdala +and ventromedial prefrontal cortex). These hubs coordinate +the appraisal of and response to information presented in +sensorimotor and higher-level cognition, respectively (Bechara +et al., 1999; Scherer, 2004; Koenigs and Grafman, 2009; Adolphs, +2010; Pessoa and Adolphs, 2010; Gerrans and Scherer, 2013; +LeDoux and Pine, 2016). Thus, the AIC is activated by perception +of emotionally salient/self-relevant scenarios. Its activity allows +us to feel the emotional significance of events. It is also active +in scenarios in which we reflect on past events or anticipate +the future, allowing so-called mental time travel to be imbued +with affective significance. Thus, AIC activity can also provide +the affective texture for anticipation and recollection as well as +sensory processing. When imagining going on holiday or getting +married, the affective texture of the episode predicts how the +action will make us feel. This is a crucial adaptation for learning +and planning. We plan our actions on behalf of future states of +affective me. To do so, we remember how previous actions made +us feel. This way of conceptualizing mental time travel makes it a +form of extended active inference in which affective regulation +is a proxy for overall organismic regulation (Suddendorf and +Corballis, 2007; Boyer, 2008; Buckner et al., 2008; Broyd et al., +2009; Spreng et al., 2009; Carhart-Harris and Friston, 2010). +Thus, it is not surprising to see that contemporary affective +neuroscience treats experience produced by AIC activation as +a form of higher-order bodily representation that represents +the integrated functioning of the organism evaluated against +emotionally salient goals creating a sense of self in the process As +Bud Craig (2009a) puts it: +“The integration successively includes homeostatic, environmental, +hedonic, motivational, social, and cognitive activity to produce a +‘global emotional moment,’ which represents the sentient self at one +moment of time” (Craig, 2009a). +In other words, affective me is the body under an emotional +mode of presentation (to import some philosophical jargon). +I am endorsing Craig’s idea that the AIC plays a key role in +transforming interoceptive signals integrated by the PIC into +representations of states of an affective self. This process can +be described as one of higher-order metarepresentation and +interpretation but to do so underplays constitutive influence of +higher-order affective processing on lower-order processing. The +role of emotional processing is not just to determine the relevance +of interoceptive predictive error after the fact but also to set the +parameters that determine which allostatic variations become +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +5 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +prediction errors. How the bodily signal is processed depends on +how it is emotionally contextualized. +Thus, I prefer to describe the relationship between AIC +and PIC as emotional transcription. The AIC is an integrative +hub of processes that transform a bodily into an affective +signal, in the process transforming what would otherwise be a +pure bodily feeling into an affective/emotional one. The AIC +communicates with hubs of emotional processes to convert the +neural signal representing interoceptive information into a neural +signal representing the emotional significance of that information +for the organism. +This transcription creates the crucial affective dimension +of self-modeling. Without it, we could navigate the world +using other dimensions, agential, narrative, sensorimotor, and +bodily in order to optimize organismic functioning, however, +we would lack a way to experience the significance of our +interactions with the world. +Furthermore, this affective dimension of self-modeling +provides a simple and effective proxy for the adaptive integration +of other dimensions and the systems they coordinate. When our +narrative, agential sensorimotor, agential, and bodily self-models +are simultaneously optimized, we feel good: our organism is +prospering in the world. When it is not, we feel a form of negative +affect appropriate to the context. Within the predictive coding +framework, negative affect signals failure to reduce prediction +error across the system. More accurately, it reflects failure to +reduce prediction at a rate predicted for that action (Joffily and +Coricelli, 2013). +This is not a claim that the AIC is a discrete or modularized +substrate of self-representation. Rather, its integrative role, +connecting low- and high-level emotional processing and +interoception and in the generation of affective experience, +makes it an important hub of processing that enables us to +feel the significance of events as affective states. Predictive +coding suggests that the mind will model fluctuations in affective +states by attributing them to a continuing entity: the thing that +experiences the emotional ups and downs. Affective me is that +entity. And a good candidate for its neural substrate, given its role +as a hub of self-referential processing, is the AIC. +PAIN ASYMBOLIA AS A FORM OF +DEPERSONALIZATION EXPERIENCE +The idea that the AIC is the substrate of affective self-modeling +fits with studies of (relatively) selective damage or hypoactivity +of AIC in disorders of depersonalization. In depersonalization +disorder, patients report phenomenology such as the following: +“I feel some degree of ‘out of it’ all the time (. . .) I can sit looking +at my foot or my hand and not feel like they are mine. This can +happen when I am writing, my hand is just writing, but I’m not +telling it to. It almost feels like I have died, but no one has thought +to tell me. So, I’m left living in a shell that I don’t recognize any +more” (Sierra and David, 2011). +Within the multidimensional multilevel framework, this +could be explained as a result of preserved narrative/conceptual +levels of self-modeling and basic bodily self-modeling in the +absence of the basic experience of being the self who experiences +autobiographical +episodes. +Another +classic +description +of +generalized depersonalization is Dugas’ patient who said: +“I only feel anger from the outside, by its physiological reactions” +(Dugas and Moutier, 1911) my italics,” quoted in Billon (2017b). +This is a particularly telling example because it suggests that +bodily processes and bodily awareness are intact, but the patient +feels detached from them, despite awareness that they occur in +his own body. On the account developed above, that is the result +of failure to transcribe bodily interoceptive signals into affective. +The mechanism is sometimes hypothesized to be spontaneous +inhibition of AIC by the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (Medford +et al., 2006; Medford, 2012; Medford et al., 2016). On most +accounts, this is an involuntary defensive/dissociative response to +unmanageable adversity. Of course, given the integrative role of +the AIC and its dense multidirectional coupling and functional +connectivity, there may be no unique cause of hypoactivity. +What matters to the account here is that in the experience +of depersonalization AIC hypoactivity is unpredicted by a self- +model that anticipates AIC activity in context. It could be the +case that the AIC is not receiving interoceptive afferents from +lower levels or systems that appraise those signals for emotional +relevance. If, however, the AIC is not responding in a predictable +way to those afferents, the result is an error signal experienced +as loss of predicted affect. The result is that most dimensions of +self-representation, bodily, agential sensorimotor, and narrative +are intact, but the agent does not feel as if any of the resultant +experiences belong to her. The reason is that the AIC is no +longer functioning to allow her to feel the significance of bodily +changes evoked by her passage through the world (Gerrans, 2015, +2019). It is worth mentioning here that this interpretation of +the role of the AIC has been disputed on the bases of cases of +AIC lesion with “preserved emotional and affective responses” +(Philippi et al., 2012; Damasio et al., 2013; Feinstein et al., 2016). +My reading of these cases, however, is that the patients have intact +behavioral aspects of emotion (such as aversive response) and +primary interoception, which accounts for intact bodily feeling. +However, the same patients do not seem to exhibit affective +aspects of emotion such as feelings of sadness or remorse. +Similarly, their empathic responses are cognitive rather than +affective. In fact, the profile of Roger, the subject of discussion +in two key articles, somewhat resembles that of Dugas’ patient +(Gerrans, 2019). Very interestingly, Roger cannot be aversively +conditioned to painful stimuli, although he responds aversively +on each separate presentation is intact. This suggests that he does +not anticipate negative affective experience when re-presented +with the aversive stimulus. +Rather than discuss full-blown global depersonalization, +this +section +concentrates +on +a +fascinating +subtype +of +depersonalization experience in which only one channel of +processing is disconnected from affective me. Pain asymbolia +is in which the subject feels pain or its nociceptive aspects, +but says that the pain feels as if it does not matter or does +not belong to her. +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +6 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +Colin Klein has argued persuasively that pain asymbolia is a +form of depersonalization for pain. As he puts it: +“the +phenomenology +of +asymbolia +might +resemble +a +kind +of depersonalization syndrome. . . . The asymbolic, and the +depersonalized more generally, feel sensations that they are +estranged from—that they do not take to be theirs in the sense that +we normally do. . . . [This]does show that there is another sense in +which our sensations may be unified: as sensations over which we +have a feeling of ownership. Asymbolia, and depersonalization more +generally, shows that this sort of unity may fail. Its failure comes not +from a change in the sensations we feel, but in the sort of agents we +are (Klein, 2015) [my italics]. +Klein suggests that the pain sensation is unchanged, but what +has changed in the experience is “the sort of agents we are,” i.e., +the type of self we are. This can be finessed still further when we +add that this latter change must itself be experienced. Otherwise, +the patient would not report the feeling that the pain sensation +does not matter to her. Given the previous discussion, it is not +quite right to say that the sensations have not changed, but the +experience of the self has. Given that the self-model sets the +parameters for bodily representation and consequent experience, +a change in self-model affects the quality of experience. +Pain asymbolia is a nice example of the connection between +basic bodily processing, emotional processing, and affect. Pain +itself is a representation of damaged body state (nociception), +but given its significance for organisms, the nociceptive signal +is almost automatically appraised at primary level as distressing. +Thus, pain, aversive response, and negative affect are very tightly +linked (Krahé et al., 2013; Klein, 2015; Gogolla, 2017; Von Mohr +and Fotopoulou, 2018; Gehrlach et al., 2019). Another way to +put this is to say that bodily damage is represented at multiple +levels in terms of its effects not just on the body but on the self +and its prospects. +“Pain can therefore constitute a process of perceptual inference +about nociceptive signals on the basis of predictive, top-down +signals about the homeostatic significance of such signals in the +context of other synchronous biological, cognitive, and social +conditions. Furthermore, such re-mappings of interoceptive signals +across the neurocognitive hierarchy suggest possible neurobiological +mechanisms by which not only cognitive, but also social +contextual factors can influence the awareness of interoceptive +and other multimodal information about one’s own body” +(Krahé et al., 2013). +Given these facts, the substrate of pain experience is +a +complex +network +of +nociceptive, +interoceptive, +and +social/cognitive/emotional +circuitry. +This +“pain +matrix” +incorporates the insula as well as somatosensory and limbic +regions (Starr et al., 2009). Characterizing the role of the insula +in the matrix is complex due to its extensive connectivity, but +one study reports a consensus view: +“insula may be well positioned to utilize cognitive information to +modulate connected brain areas involved in processing of sensory- +discriminative, affective, and cognitive-evaluative components of +pain” (Wiech and Tracey, 2013). +or, as I might put it, to help coordinate higher-level active +inference in response to lower-level nociceptive prediction error. +And one feature of this coordinating role is the production of +affective states that inform the organism of the significance of +bodily damage. When, however (due to hypoactivity in the AIC), +the predicted negative affect does not occur, the subject has to +explain away the resultant prediction error. The bodily self-model +is already functioning optimally: telling the organism that she is +damaged. The narrative model is also intact: it says explicitly that +pain should produce negative affect. Thus, the patient is in the +situation of sensing bodily damage and knowing, intellectually, +that she has bodily damage but feeling no distress in a situation in +which she normally feels it automatically. She reports the result as +the feeling that the pain is not “hers.” Pain asymbolics no longer +assign or feel emotional significance in response to bodily damage +in virtue of hypoactivity in their AIC. Effectively, they are in the +situation of losing a crucial dimension of affective self-modeling +for nociception. Consequently, they report that the experience +is painful but that it does not matter and feels as if it is not +happening to them. What this shows is that “mineness” can be lost +locally, for aspects of bodily functioning, such as pain (Phillips +et al., 2001; Phillips and Sierra, 2003; Medford et al., 2006; Simeon +and Abugel, 2006; Simeon et al., 2008; Stein and Simeon, 2009; +Sierra et al., 2012; Michal et al., 2013; Sedeño et al., 2014; Medford +et al., 2016; Gogolla, 2017; Gerrans, 2019). +The idea that the anterior insula is a substrate of the feeling of +mineness for pain via its role in affective processing is consistent +with the similarity between depersonalization experience for pain +and mild opioid analgesia. In opioid analgesia, patients report +that the pain is not extinguished but no longer matters. A key +finding here is that that opioids target not only the PIC, as one +might expect, but also the AIC and related limbic structures +involved in emotional processing. +The AIC in fact is even more responsive than PIC to low doses +of opioids. This is an adaptation. It is easier for an organism +to regulate emotional/affective response to bodily damage than +to repair bodily damage. Thus, in contexts where the organism +cannot devote resources to repair, it inhibits the system that +produces negative affect and thereby stops pain from drawing +attention away from other relevant activities. Opioids exploit this +adaptation, down-regulating the AIC, reducing, not pain itself, +but the felt significance of pain. +“the FMRI data suggest that opioid analgesics can directly influence +emotional responses at low doses that do not alter sensory aspects of +pain” (Lee et al., 2014). +Another way to put this is to say that mild opioid analgesia +produces a mild form of pain asymbolia. +This suggestion about the role played by modulation of AIC +activity independent of nociception is supported by an interesting +finding about voluntary imagination of sensory states. +“For the visualization of internal state sensations, this meant +increased activity in areas of interoceptive sensory processing, +including the mid and anterior insula in the right hemisphere. This +is a critical finding, as it suggests that primary interoceptive cortex, +located in the posterior insula, was not significantly involved in the +imagery of internal state sensations” (Bennett and Baird, 2009). +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +7 +October 2020 | Volume 11 | Article 523710 + +Gerrans +Self Awareness in Pain Asymbolia +Cases like this suggest that when we imagine or reflect +on an experience, we (re)construct the affective component of +experience. In other words, we represent not what happens to +us but how it matters to us. We empathize with our past or +future self by activating circuitry, which represents not body +state per se, but the significance of body state. This allows us +to enrich the narrative self-model with episodic and affective +imagery, transforming it from a linguistic autobiographical +model to one which we feel, as well as know, is ours. In other +words, activity in the AIC links the affective dimension of self- +modeling to our bodily and narrative models. In this respect, the +affective self-model has a crucial integrative role. It sits at the +border between sensorimotor bodily modeling, which controls +organismic interaction with the environment, and explicit top- +down cognition, which exploits narrative and conceptual models. +It allows us to feel not just like a cognitive system manipulating +a body through the world (which we are) but a self, with an +autobiographical trajectory that matters. +CONCLUSION +The mind models and predicts fluctuations of affect by attributing +them to a continuing self. That “self-model” allows us to +experience not just the way things are, but the way they matter +to us given our history, goals, and concerns. +Perhaps the most crucial dimension of self-modeling is +affective. The ability to feel the significance of our engagements +with the world allows us to regulate our organism moment to +moment and offline over long time scales to “feel the future” and +rehearse the past. In this sense, affective processes knit systemic +functioning together allowing us to pursue organismic well-being +by regulating our affective states. +When this integrative process fails (due to hypoactivity in the +AIC or systems that link affective processing to cognition), but +the world and body are being otherwise accurately represented, +the subject feels that something is wrong. Furthermore, her +autobiographical knowledge is undisturbed. The result is a +massive prediction error in the hierarchical multidimensional +self-model. The narrative and bodily dimensions are intact, but +the predicted affective dimension is absent. She reports the result +naturally enough by saying that the experience feels as if it is not +happening to her. +DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT +All datasets generated for this study are included in the +article/supplementary material, further inquiries can be directed +to the corresponding author/s. +AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONS +The author confirms being the sole contributor of this work and +has approved it for publication. +REFERENCES +Adolphs, R.

Images were imported +into Agisoft Metashape (v 1.5.4) to create point cloud data using settings for Highest Accuracy, +Ultra High Quality and Aggressive Filtering.” To add to this, Agisoft Metashape was used to +export 2D orthophotos. The orthophotos were georeferenced by the internal GPS of the drone. +Default orbit and corrections were used. The datum and height reference is Australian Height +Datum (AHD) 2009 on the Australian Map Grid system (in this case using Zone 55) and Aus- +tralian Geodetic 1984 datum. The elevations of surrounding landscape and neighbouring land- +marks have not been determined. These measurements are often incorrect unless taken with +highly accurate instruments and processing. It is standard to use high-quality airborne LiDAR +to confirm ground-based measurements, especially in inaccessible or remote areas, and this +was done for the project through manned aircraft survey. The details of the LiDAR data acqui- +sition are found in the subsection Airborne LiDAR survey: “the team deployed a Diamond +Aircraft HK36TTC-ECO Dimona motorglider with two LiDAR systems mounted in under- +wing pods: a Riegl Q680i-S (topographic) and a Riegl VQ-820-G (topo-bathymetric), each +combined with a tactical grade IMU/GPS system (Novatel SPAN ISA/LCI). A Canon 5D Mk4 +was fitted with an EF 24 mm (f/1.4LII USM) lens and co-mounted with the Q680i-S. Point +cloud density ranged between 10 and 20 points/m2, and data was processed and converted to a +Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using the Global Mapper LiDAR module.” This is standard +for airborne LiDAR data acquisition, using state-of-the-art full waveform LiDAR and tactical- +grade IMU/GPS-systems. For such data, ground-control points (GCPs) are not typically neces- +sary to achieve accuracies of < 10cm margin of error. However, the team did acquire 99 GCPs +using Trimble Net R9 dGPS with RTX Satellite subscription, which confirmed that the +Fig 12.

The LiDAR and dGPS GCP data can be found freely available at https://doi.org/10. +25451/flinders.22641040.v1 Further tidal data collected in 2022 also corroborated the original +findings from [1] (the results are in press, [4]). +The Results subsection titled Taphonomic and depositional history refers to diver observa- +tions of maximum current flow during spring tides. Fast flowing drift dives through the CB +channel were undertaken by divers on 14/09/2019 between 1225–1325 and again on 15/09/ +2019 between 0855–0925. +Terrestrial survey +In 2019 a stone structure survey was undertaken by pedestrian transect across the CB platform +by three team members. The coverage of this survey was generally 5-10m, denser than the 20m +spacing considered “comprehensive” for linear survey in this region [5]. Spatial information +was recorded using handheld Garmin GPS units or a Trimble Nomad. Artefacts were observed +in varying quantities across the entire platform and a few isolated artefacts were recorded. All +artefacts within a 1m radius of each of the 50 recorded structures were recorded. Attribute +data (size class, type and raw material) were collected using the CRAR+M FileMaker Pro +Recording Form on iPad minis. +Targeted sampling strategies, particularly those constrained by “topographical or man-made +features”[6], are common in archaeology. Although the artefact ‘sample areas’ are biased spa- +tially around the structures there is no evidence that this bias would influence the size class data +collected (the only attribute being compared between terrestrial and underwater assemblages). +The structures are well distributed across the platform and artefact densities were varied within +each sample area, with higher densities of artefacts in areas with higher densities of structures. +The low structures are made from the same material as the CB platform and there is no evidence +that the geomorphic environment immediately adjacent is any different than the rest of the plat- +form. As with the sampling strategy, the size of the sample was constrained, however it was suf- +ficient (more than double the number of channel artefacts) for preliminary comparison. There +is no hard and fast numerical or proportional test for the appropriateness of a sample beyond +“more is better”, however it is generally accepted that a sample is more robust if you can draw +random samples and not dramatically change the statistical result [7]. As noted above, addi- +tional artefacts have been added to this dataset (S4_Table in S1 File) since publication of [1] and +this increases the dataset by 7%. This did not weaken the statistical result, which would be +expected if sizes of the artefacts were biased due to their association with the stone structures. +The terrestrial assemblage at Cape Bruguieres is quantitatively distinctly different to the +underwater assemblage: the lithics are much smaller, and the assemblage contains very few +artefacts > 8cm, which was the most common size class under water. While the different sur- +vey methods might limit the ability for fine-grained comparisons, it could not reasonably +explain such a large difference. In the original study, this obvious difference was quantified sta- +tistically as a Crame´r’s V of over 0.7, defined in the literature as a ‘strong effect (0.5–1 accord- +ing to Wolverton et al. [8]). To reduce this to a weak effect (Crame´r’s V under 0.1, [8]), we +would have to suppose that we systematically failed to observe literally hundreds of large arte- +facts away from structures in our wider survey across the platform (see supplementary R-code +for details on this counterfactual). There is scope for a more detailed survey of the platform, to +answer finer questions of technology (e.g.[9]), but there is no doubt that there are well-demon- +strated and -quantified size differences between the assemblages. The terrestrial assemblage is +thus reasonably described as representative and appropriate for comparison with the underwa- +ter stone artefacts. +PLOS ONE +PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0287490 +June 15, 2023 +3 / 5 + +Errors in data and analyses +One artefact (A15) was incorrectly omitted from the originally published S1 Table in [1], +which reported recovered underwater artefacts. The corrected complete dataset for recovered +underwater artefacts is provided in Table S3 of S1 File. +There is an error in the analysis underlying Fig 7 of the original article; sample A15 was +incorrectly recorded as 10–12 cm instead of 8–10 cm. A reanalysis using the corrected channel +artefact data and the updated terrestrial artefact data does not affect the interpretation of the +results (please refer to the Data Availability section above for further information). The resid- +ual plot for the chi-squared test of artefact sizes from the Cape Bruguieres platform (land) and +channel (submerged) assemblages is provided as S2_fig in S1 File. +There is an error in the analysis underlying Fig 8 of the original article; some of the platform +type values were omitted. The outcome of a reanalysis using the updated terrestrial artefact +data remains that there is significant variation between groups, though there is a slight increase +in overrepresentation of core tools, and a slight decrease in overrepresentation of Complete +Flakes (please refer to the Data Availability section above for further information). +Fig 12 from the original article accidentally excluded 22 data points. A corrected Fig 12 is +provided below. The data that underpin the corrected Fig 12 are derived from S2_table in S1 +File. The updated data and figure support the original interpretations and findings. +A member of the Editorial Board has reviewed the updated analyses and advised that the +revised data still support the published results. +Interpretation +In ‘A wet strawman: A response to Ward et al.’ published in Geoarchaeology [3] the authors +have reiterated the interpretations of the minimum ages of the two sites published in PLOS +ONE and reviewed why these interpretations remain in place. From Benjamin et al. ([3], pg 3) +the authors conclude, “It may well be that we will never achieve 100% certainty about the status +of artifacts that are surface finds without means of direct and independent radiometric +dating. . . On the presently available evidence, we reject Ward et al.’s critique and stand by our +original interpretations until such time as new and relevant evidence is forthcoming to further +confirm or refute them”. This interpretation is further reinforced by additional field investiga- +tions in 2022 and the authors have interpreted the available evidence to rule out any hypothe- +ses arguing for wholesale secondary deposition. The authors maintain that the results +presented in Benjamin et al [1] demonstrate that underwater cultural material can survive +inundation by sea-level rise in an Australian context, and that such evidence can be located +and studied using a combination of predictive modelling and an appropriate suite of underwa- +ter and remote-sensing techniques. The authors’ current interpretation of the CB Channel site +remains consistent with the minimum age of inundation or 7000 BP. +For clarity that the reported conclusions reflect the authors’ interpretations based on the +available evidence, the following revisions are made to the text: +In the first sentence of the fifth paragraph of the Introduction, the correct text is: The new +results presented here demonstrate the existence of archaeological material deposited on pre- +inundation land surfaces associated with periods of lower sea level in Murujuga Sea Country +(Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia), resulting from a program of predictive modelling, +systematic survey and geoarchaeological analysis, using a suite of remote sensing techniques +including satellite imagery, acoustic survey (sidescan and multibeam), airborne topographic +and bathymetric LiDAR, and in situ diver investigation. +In the third sentence of the eighth paragraph under point 4 in the Taphonomic and deposi- +tional history subsection of the Results section, the correct sentence is: We interpret the +PLOS ONE +PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0287490 +June 15, 2023 +4 / 5 + +available evidence to rule out the hypotheses arguing for wholesale secondary deposition given +the state of current knowledge of coastal geomorphological and climatic processes, and rules +in favour of the hypothesis that the underwater assemblage is largely in situ on a pre-inunda- +tion landscape and belongs to a much earlier time period and an entirely different pattern of +landscape use than the archaeological site on the calcarenite terrace. +In the first sentence of the third paragraph of the Flying Foam Passage: A submerged fresh- +water spring subsection of the Results section, the correct sentence is: Just how much weight of +interpretation can rest on a single artefact is, of course an issue, but the single artefact is the +result of limited diving time and the difficulties of identifying artefacts against the background +noise of other rocks and obscuring biogenic surface growth, and the details above confirm our +interpretation that this is an in situ specimen. +Updated Author Information +The ORCID iDs are missing for the third and seventh authors.

In light of this +paradigm shift, there has been a dramatic change of attention from teachers toward students. +As Hismanoglu (2000) maintained, more emphasis has been put on learning and learners +rather than on teaching and teachers. As English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is progressing +toward learner-centered pedagogy (Emaliana, 2017), investigating how EFL students learn and +what variables impact their learning has become the center of attention of numerous researchers +in different contexts (Khamkhien, 2010; Nomnian and Arphattananon, 2018; Derakhshan et al., +2021; Esra and Sevilen, 2021; Pishghadam et  al., 2021). With growing enthusiasm in the role +of learners in language learning, it is crucial to understand what factors drive different experiences +for different students. In association with factors influencing learning, various learner variables, +such as attitudes (Petrides, 2006), anxiety, and motivation (Khodadady and Khajavy, 2013), +foreign language enjoyment (FLE; Jin and Zhang, 2018), and ideal L2 self (Dörnyei, 2010) +are believed to play a significant role in foreign language (FL) achievement. +The ideal L2 self, mainly conceptualized as “the L2-specific facet of one’s ideal self” (Dörnyei, +2009, p.  29), has been identified as a variable increasing motivated L2 learning behavior + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +2 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +(Dörnyei, 2009). A key component of a L2 motivational self +system of Dörnyei (2009), the ideal L2 self refers to the ideal +image held in learners’ mind of the type of L2 user they hope +to become in the future (Magid and Chan, 2012; Nourzadeh +et  al., 2020; Yousefifard and Fathi, 2021). For instance, if +individuals desire to be competent L2 speakers, the imaginary +picture of their L2 self acts as a strong motive force for learning +the L2 since they want to minimize the difference between +their ideal and actual selves (Dörnyei, 2010). Moreover, research +has revealed that ideal L2 self is correlated with different +variables such as willingness to communicate (Khajavy and +Ghonsooly, 2017), and enthusiastic employment of the foreign +language (Papi et  al., 2019). According to Dörnyei (2009), +individuals desire to reach a state in which their self-concept +(beliefs about oneself) corresponds with their self-guides’ (e.g., +ideal self). Previous studies have reported that learners who +visualize a clearer ideal L2 self would demonstrate a greater +degree of L2 learning motivation (e.g., Kim and Kim, 2014). +Along with the rise of humanistic psychology, students’ affect +(emotion) as well as its influence on language learning has +received much attention (Dörnyei, 2010). It was first Arnold +(1999) who called for L2 researchers’ attention toward the +important concept of affect inside the classroom. With great +emphasis on learners’ affection, a plethora of studies have looked +into the role of emotions in L2 learning (e.g., Gregersen et al., +2014; Dewaele, 2019). In addition to negative emotions, according +to Wang et al. (2021), positive emotions, including grit, academic +engagement, enjoyment, emotion regulation, well-being, and +other similar constructs can influence different aspects of life, +especially L2 teaching and learning. With the emergence of +positive psychology (Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi, 2000), the +field which explores how individuals thrive and flourish, researchers +have recognized the significance of positive emotions in the +domain of L2 learning (Jiang and Li, 2017; Wang et  al., 2021). +As MacIntyre and Gregersen (2012) stated positive emotions +can contribute to learners’ L2 development. +Studies with more holistic view on negative and positive +classroom emotions have shown that anxiety impedes students’ +cognitive processing, while positive emotions contribute to +broadening their cognitive capacity (see Dewaele and MacIntyre, +2014). Foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and FLE +are recognized as two influential variables in predicting L2 +outcomes (e.g., Dewaele and Dewaele, 2017) and FL learning +(Dewaele and MacIntyre, 2014). During past decades, a number +of L2/FL scholars have shown their interest in exploring the +effect of FLCA and FLE on general English courses (Elahi- +Shirvan and Taherian, 2018), learners’ performance (Dewaele +and Alfawzan, 2018), gender (Dewaele et  al., 2016), and their +WTC (Dewaele, 2019). Nevertheless, a trace of ideal L2 self +is not evidenced in their studies. One example of such +investigations is the work of Dewaele (2019), in which students’ +WTC was negatively and strongly predicted by FLCA, while +positively by FLE. This suggests that learner’s WTC benefits +from increased FLE and low levels of FLCA in the classroom. +Similarly, Dewaele and Dewaele (2018) argued that FLCA is +a significant negative correlate of students’ WTC, whereas +learners’ positive perceptions toward the FL are its positive +predictors. Research in this area has revealed that FLA is a +negative predictor of learning and communication (Gregersen +and MacIntyre, 2014), whereas enjoyment broadens learners’ +perspective about learning language (MacIntyre and Gregersen, +2012) and influences their hardiness and resilience positively +(Dewaele et  al., 2019). Enjoyment has been also found to +be  correlated with L2 achievement (Papi and Khajavy, 2021). +Reviewing the existing literature of L2 learning has also +shown that FLE and FLCA are interrelated (Dewaele and +MacIntyre, 2016). Despite the array of published literature on +the impact of FLCA and FLE on L2 learning, few empirical +studies have explored such constructs in the field of EFL with +the particular concentration on ideal L2 self (Elahi-Shirvan +et  al., 2018; Papi and Khajavy, 2021). As a result, it seems to +be a dearth of studies investigating the role of FLCA and FLE +in predicting ideal L2 self among EFL students. Put differently, +it is still not verified whether and in what way FLCA and +FLE may influence ideal L2 self. Therefore, in order to fill +the raised gaps and to shed more light on the role of FLE +and FLCA in predicting ideal L2 self, the aim of this study +was set to examine the joint effect of FLE and FLCA on ideal +L2 self among Iranian EFL students. By having the combination +of these variables together, this study adds novelty to the +current literature. +LITERATURE REVIEW +Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and +Foreign Language Enjoyment +Broadly speaking, anxiety refers to a kind of aversive emotional +and motivational state, which arouses in intimidating +circumstances (Eysenck et al., 2007). In the field of L2 learning, +an increasing research attention has been directed to anxiety +as a negative emotion (Horwitz, 2001; Lee, 2018; Teimouri +et  al., 2019). As MacIntyre and Mercer (2014) noted, anxiety +is the most extensively studied emotion among negative emotions +in L2 research. To date, many studies have examined the +association of anxiety with learners’ performance and achievement +(e.g., Horwitz, 2010; Dewaele, 2017). Moreover, the study of +Horwitz (2010), showed an inverse correlation between FL +anxiety and proficiency scores. As far as L2 learning is concerned, +the seminal work of Horwitz et  al. (1986) added a new era +in research regarding anxiety by developing FLCA scale. +Furthermore, they claimed that foreign language anxiety (FLA) +and general anxiety are strongly correlated. With the advent +of emotion research in L2, FLA has been the target of attention +due to its significant influence on students’ cognitive L2 +performance (Zhou et  al., 2020) and consequences for L2 +outcomes (Jin and Zhang, 2018). +Explorations in this line of research have revealed that FLA +influences academic achievement negatively (e.g., Khodadady +and Khajavy, 2013; Botes et al., 2020). Chen and Chang (2004), +for instance, argued that anxious individuals suffer from language +difficulty, show poor development skills, and achieve low grades. +In conjunction with the role of FLA in learning, one example +is a study of Hu et  al. (2021), which focused on exploring + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +3 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +the correlation between primary school students’ FLA and their +FL achievement. For data collection, FLCA scale was administered +to measure FLA and their FL achievement was assessed through +low-stakes assessments plus high-stakes formal examinations. +Findings revealed that participants’ FL achievement was predicted +by FLA inversely. The results also confirmed a stronger correlation +for high-stakes formal examinations in comparison to low-stakes +regular assessments. +Concerning the variables that play a role in affecting FLA, +Alamer and Almulhim (2021) have underscored the role of +motivation in determining learners’ anxiety level. The results +demonstrated a negative correlation between general language +anxiety and autonomous motivation in learning English. In +addition, Aslan and Thompson (2021) investigated the +relationship between Turkish EFL learners’ beliefs and language +anxiety. Findings revealed that Turkish EFL students’ negative +attitudes toward English and their classroom performance +anxiety were positively associated with fear of ambiguity. +Delving deeply in this respect, Jiang and Dewaele (2020) +examined the role of sociobiographical variables and language +variables in predicting Chinese university students’ FLA in +English. Findings indicated that FLA was significantly correlated +with frequent use of language, experience abroad, geographical +background, self-perceived oral competence, age of onset of +acquisition, and language achievement level. Further results of +this study suggested that FLA can be observed as much outside +the classroom as inside, while different sources are involved. +Regarding the occurrence of remote and online language learning +in recent years, Russell (2020) argued that during the global +COVID-19 pandemic both teachers and language learners were +likely to experience a considerable amount of general anxiety. +Given that online language students are required to have +interaction with their teacher and classmates through audio +and video tools in the target language, they may struggle with +anxiety that stems from both the language and the use of the +instructional technologies while communicating (Pichette, 2009). +Reviewing the literature regarding anxiety, Russell (2020) noted +some techniques and interventions that have been suggested +to instructors in order to reduce students’ level of anxiety; +Teachers can (a) offer the students advice on effective use of +language learning strategies, especially during online learning, +(b) ask learners to express their fears either in groups or +through journaling, (c) encourage students by posting +motivational messages and ensure them they have their teachers’ +supports and guidance, (d) devote some virtual office time to +guide and tutor new online learners, and (e) make students +realize that making mistakes is a sign of learning not a failure. +While a bulk of studies were carried out to investigate negative +emotions such as FLA, inadequate research attention had been +paid to positive emotions before the arrival of positive psychology +in L2 learning (MacIntyre and Gregersen, 2012). The mounting +interest in positive psychology in L2 studies (Dewaele et  al., +2019) has led to the probing into positive emotions such as +enjoyment in FL learning process (Li et al., 2018). Therefore, +a call has been made to deepen our understanding of what +role positive emotions could play in facilitating the development +of language learning (MacIntyre and Gregersen, 2012). +The recent years have witnessed a turn of research into +positive emotions, including growth mindset (Zarrinabadi et al., +2021), joy (Tahmouresi and Papi, 2021), well-being (Zeng et al., +2016), and grit (Teimouri et al., 2020). To this list, enjoyment +is the widely studied positive emotion (Li, 2020; Li et  al., +2021). Particularly, FLE, which could be  conceptualized as +enjoyment experienced during L2 learning, has drawn increasing +attention since it is recognized as the counterpart of FLA +(Jiang and Dewaele, 2019). FLE scale, which was initially +introduced by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014), has remained +the most approved for measuring FLE. In order to balance +research literature that has examined the role of negative +emotions, language anxiety in particular, researchers have taken +into consideration the role of positive emotions (Sadoughi +and Hejazi, 2021). According to Cao (2014), both negative +and positive emotions are dominant individual variables that +influence classroom interactions. In addition, Dewaele and +MacIntyre (2016) have emphasized that researchers should +investigate the role of positive emotions, specifically enjoyment +in learning. +In line with research into negative and positive emotional +effects, an accumulated research interest into the combined +effect of FLCA and FLE on learning has been evident during +the past years (e.g., Li et  al., 2020, 2021). A study of Dewaele +and MacIntyre (2014) was the first study which investigated +FLCA and FLE at the same time and underscored the importance +of both positive and negative emotions. This mixed-method +study collected data from 1,746 FL learners with different ages +from all over the world. By and large, participants showed +higher degrees of FLE than FLCA. Their research findings +confirmed that a range of learner-external and learner-internal +variables predicted learners’ level of FLE and FLCA in the FL +classroom. Findings indicated that FLE is higher in those older +learners who have higher degree of education, feel more proficient +that their classmates, and know several languages. Another +finding of this study is that female participants showed higher +FLCA and FLE, compared to male participants. It is also proven +that as learners mastered FL their level of FLA decreased, +while their FLE increased. Moreover, the majority of participants +mentioned that speaking the target of language in front of +their peers was both enjoyable and highly anxiety-provoking. +In another study, Dewaele and Alfawzan (2018) examined FLE +and FLA among 189 L2 students in London and EFL learners +in Saudi Arabia. Findings revealed that learners’ L2 performance +was positively influenced by FLE and negatively by FLA. +Previous research has shown that FLCA is negatively associated +with WTC (Liu and Jackson, 2008), frequent use of language +learning strategy, perceived competence (MacIntyre et al., 1997), +and FL achievement (Hu et al., 2021). In turn, FLE is positively +linked with WTC (Dewaele and Pavelescu, 2021), more positive +perceptions toward L2 use, and the amount of time learners +spend speaking the FL (Dewaele et  al., 2018), and language +proficiency (Jin and Zhang, 2018). Furthermore, a quite recent +study conducted by Zhang et al. (2020) highlighted the significance +of positive psychology, particularly FLE in learning FL/L2 learning. +The results of their study demonstrated that FLE has a mediating +role in the association between motivation and L2/FL proficiency. + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +4 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +Recently, Dewaele and Dewaele (2020) investigated the effect +of teachers on FLCA and FLE at a single point at time. In +other words, they intended to find out whether students’ FLE +and FLCA were similar when learning the same FL in the +classes of two different teachers. Participants were divided to +two groups: a group of students had two FL teachers, while +the rest of them were taught by just one FL teacher. Findings +revealed that whereas students reported significant higher levels +of FLE with the main teacher, FLCA stayed constant with +both teachers. The positive and significant FLE with the main +teacher was predicted by the teacher’s frequent use of the +target language, unpredictability, and students’ perceptions +toward their teacher. +Even though FLA and FLE represent negative and positive +emotions in the FL classroom, it is worth mentioning that +they are not opposite of each other (MacIntyre and Gregersen, +2012). Rather, according to Dewaele and MacIntyre (2016), +FLA and FLE can be  regarded as the right and left feet of +the language learners. Furthermore, the findings from a +subsequent study by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2019) confirmed +that FLCA and FLE are fairly two independent emotions and +relatively separate dimensions. The results of their study showed +an average inverse relationship between FLE and FLCA. In a +same vein, Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014) asserted that anxiety +and enjoyment are independent emotions that the presence +of one does not imply the absence of the other. +Ideal L2 Self +The primary research into L2 motivation was largely influenced +and inspired by the studies of Robert Gardner (the Canadian +social psychologists) and his colleagues (e.g., Gardner and +Lambert, 1972; Gardner, 1985). Retrospectively, a socio- +educational model of Gardner (1985), which was a classic +conceptualization of the integrative motive, had prevailed +in most concepts of the L2 motivation. Starting in the 1990s, +the construct of integrativeness was bombarded with criticisms +despite its significance (Dörnyei, 2010). For instance, in FL +learning contexts where students learn a FL just as a +curriculum subject without much exposure to the target +language (e.g., learning English as a FL in China) integration +does not make sense. Given that the model of Gardner +(1985) was hardly applicable to educational contexts, especially +EFL context, (Dörnyei, 2005, 2009) proposed a new theory +of the L2 motivational self-system built upon the theoretical +foundation of Gardner (1985). This construct, including +ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self, and L2 experience, has +provided a wider scope for other variables to be  examined +within L2 motivation and can be  applied extensively across +various linguistic and cultural contexts (Dörnyei, 2010). +During the past decades, inquiries have arisen to investigate +the two core components of proposed construct of Dörnyei +(2005, 2009), namely ought-to L2 self and the ideal L2 self +in different L2 settings (see Taguchi et  al., 2009). The ideal +L2 self, which has been considered as an important notion +to uncover and realize motivation regarding language learning +(e.g., Kim and Kim, 2012), is referred to as a favorable +self-image, which L2 learners want to reach in the future +with regard to learning the L2 (Dörnyei, 2005, 2009). The +ideal L2 self, according to Dörnyei (2010) acts as a powerful +motivator when one tries to bridge the gap and distance +between their actual L2 skills and the future ambitions of +L2 learning. In recent years, numerous researchers have +carried out research to illuminate the link between deal L2 +self and FLE (e.g., Ryan, 2009; Yashima, 2009; Ueki and +Takeuchi, 2013). The significance of ideal L2 self in affecting +motivational intensity and persistence in L2 learning is +manifested in the study of Feng and Papi (2020). +In regard to the effect of ideal L2-self on language +achievement, Dörnyei and Chan (2013) claimed that highly +motivated learners with more distinct ideal L2 self-images +have the potential of achieving L2 more successfully. Moreover, +Kong et al. (2018) probed into the association between ideal +L2 self and FLE in Korean EFL context. Findings of their +study indicated that learners who had greater ideal L2 self +seemed to enjoy their L2 learning. It was also revealed that +although ideal L2-self played an important role in affecting +FLE, ought-to L2 self had no correlation with learners’ view +of L2 learning. +Concerning L2 motivational self system in association +with L2 anxiety, findings from the study of Papi (2010) +confirmed the significant role of ideal L2 self in influencing +L2 anxiety. It was also noted that L2 motivational self system +encourages students to devote more effort and energy to +learning English. Similarly, Ueki and Takeuchi (2013) pointed +to the negative contribution of ideal L2 self to anxiety. +Their proposed model indicated that ideal L2 self had a +significant effect on L2 learning motivation. In another study, +Peng (2015) highlighted that ideal L2 self was inversely +related to L2 anxiety. In contrast, the subsequent investigation +of Yang (2012), done in Taiwan, showed a different picture +regarding the inter-connection between ideal L2 self and +anxiety. This study recruited 108 undergraduate students in +Applied English who had experience of learning EFL for +at least 6 years. The findings revealed that ideal L2 self +affected anxiety significantly. Concerning the association +between enjoyment and ideal L2 self, Papi and Khajavy +(2021) highlighted that ideal L2 self was a positive correlate +of enjoyment. In a same vein, Teimouri (2017) emphasized +the association between joy and ideal L2 self. +Reviewing the abovementioned studies has indicated that +the majority of research has either compared and contrasted +FLE and FLA or explored their association with different +learner variables. Yet, no empirical study has so far dealt +with the role of both FLE and FLCA in predicting ideal +L2 self. Nor has any study examined the constructs of +ideal L2 self, FLE, and FLCA. The only published study, +which has partially touched this area, is a study of Tahmouresi +and Papi (2021). The purpose of their study was to find +out how learners’ L2 writing selves (e.g., ought L2 self and +ideal L2 self) directly and indirectly influence L2 writing +achievement through anxiety and enjoyment. Taken together, +the findings of the presents study will contribute to the +exiting +literature +related +to +anxiety, +enjoyment, +and motivation. + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +5 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +MATERIALS AND METHODS +Participants +A total number of 195 English-major learners from several +universities in Iran responded to the survey. The respondents +were undergraduate English major students from different +provinces and they were selected based on convenience sampling +procedure (Ary et  al., 2018). The sample consisted of both +male (N = 88) and female (N = 107) students whose ages ranged +from 21 to 29, with mean age of 22.16. Their English learning +experience varied from 5 to 14 years, with an average of 6.3 years +of experience. +Instruments +Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale +This scale contained 10 items which were taken from Jiang +and Dewaele (2019). These statements indicate both the social +and private components of FLE (Dewaele and MacIntyre, 2016). +Every item was measured using a five-point Likert scale varying +from “not at all” to “very much so.” +Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale +This scale which was developed by Jiang and Dewaele (2019) +consisted of eight items concerning physical symptoms of +anxiety, nervousness, and lack of confidence. Jiang and Dewaele +(2019) adapted the items from the FLCAS (Horwitz et  al., +1986). The scale measures two components of low anxiety +(two items) and high anxiety (six items). Reverse-coding was +applied to items of low anxiety for the sake of consistency in +computing the total score. +Ideal L2 Self Scale +The Ideal L2 Self scale included eight items which were adapted +from Papi and Abdollahzadeh (2012). This scale intended to +assess the learners’ image of their ideal selves regarding using +English. Each item was measured using a Likert scale ranging +from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 6 (Strongly Agree). +Procedure +As the design of the study was a correlational research, +the data were gathered by giving the three self-report +measuring instruments of the three constructs (i.e., FLE, +FLCA, and ideal L2 self). In so doing, the questionnaires +were put together in a form of an online survey using the +Google Docs application.1 The data collection started in +the winter of 2021 with cooperation of some English-major +university instructors who were teaching at different +universities in Iran. The link of the Google-Docs survey +was sent to these instructors. Then they shared the links +with their English major undergraduate students via Telegram +or WhatsApp groups and requested them to respond to +the items of the questionnaires. It took about a month to +collect all the data. +1https://docs.google.com +Data Analysis +The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22) and AMOS +(21) for data imputation, descriptive statistics analyses, and +carrying out confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) as well as +Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The latent constructs +were validated using CFA (Kline, 2011). Then SEM was employed +as a powerful multivariate procedure to verify the hypothesized +structural model. As the first step, normality of the data, +outliers, and missing values were checked by an initial screening. +Expectation–maximization algorithm was used for missing data +(Kline, 2011). Univariate outliers were examined with standard +scores, and Mahalanobis D2 was employed to determine +multivariate outliers. Following recommendations by Tabachnick +and Fidell (2007), univariate and multivariate outliers were +detected and eliminated, leading to 195 valid cases for SEM +analyses. Skewness and kurtosis values fell within the range +of −1 to +1, confirming the normality of the data. +The validity of the measurement models for the three latent +constructs was examined using CFA and fit indices (Kline, +2011). In the current study, χ2/df (chi-square to degrees of +freedom ratio), goodness-of-fit index (GFI), Tucker-Lewis index +(TLI), comparative fit index (CFI), and root mean square error +of approximation (RMSEA). The acceptable values of the indices +are χ2/df < 3, GFI > 0.95, TLI > 0.95, CFI > 0.95, and RMSEA < 0.06 +(Hu and Bentler, 1999). As the measurement models for the +FLE and did not demonstrate adequacy to the data, two items +were removed from the FLE scale. Then AMOS 21 was employed +to investigate the structural model with the maximum likelihood +technique and variance–covariance matrices as input. +RESULTS +Before running SEM for testing the structural model, the results +of CFAs indicated the validity of the measurement models +(see Table  1). As indicated in Table  1, the models showed +acceptable fit. In other words, the construct validity of the +three scales (i.e., FLCA, FLE, and ideal L2 self) was approved. +Also, Cronbach’s α calculations indicated that the scales were +of acceptable reliability indices. Table 2 indicates the reliability +of the scales. +After that, descriptive statistics and correlations between +the constructs were calculated. Table 3 indicates the descriptive +statistics and correlations among FLCA, FLE, and ideal L2 +self. As illustrated in Table  3, the correlation between FLE +and ideal L2 self (r = 0.56, p < 0.01) was greater than the +correlation between FLCA and ideal L2 self (r = 0.44, p < 0.01). +After that, SEM was utilized to test the structural model +in which the two variables of FLCA and FLE acted as the +predictors of ideal L2 self. To this end, two structural models +were proposed, as depicted in Figure  1. The structures of the +inter-connections for the two models (A and B) were the +same. However, both models were tested to shed more light +on the associations. Additionally, the unique contribution of +each predictor (i.e., FLCA and FLE) on the criterion variable +(i.e., ideal L2 self) was examined using fit indices and common + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +6 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +variance measures. The models evaluated against fit indices +showed a good fit for the structural models (see Table  3). As +indicated in model A, FLE and FLCA had 11.2% of variance +in common (R2 = 0.335). FLE and ideal L2 self showed 23.7% +common variance (R2 = 0.487). Similarly, FLCA and ideal L2 +self had 14.7% of shared variance (R2 = 0.384). Based on these +results, it can be  concluded that FLE was a stronger predictor +of ideal L2 self than FLCA. +Furthermore, to determine the unique contribution of FLE +and FLCA beyond and above each other, R2 increments were +checked by comparing the percentage of variation in ideal L2 +self, which is depicted in both models. Model B demonstrated +that FLE and FLCA together explained 31% of the total variance +in ideal L2 self. Thus, it can be  stated that FLCA by itself +contributed to the additional amount of 8% of the variance +in ideal L2 self, beyond the single FLE (Δχ2 = 0.31–0.23 = 0.08). +Moreover, the unique contribution of FLE in accounting for +ideal L2 self above the FLCA as the single explanatory variable +was 20% (Δχ2 = 0.31–0.11 = 0.20). As proved by these results, +the unique impact of FLE was higher than FLCA (Table  4). +Finally, the unique impacts of FLCA and FLE on ideal L2 +self was tested by constraining each related beta weights to +zero. The significant Δχ2 was considered as the criterion for +evaluating the models. In other words, in case zero beta weights +leads to significant Δχ2 (i.e., changes in χ2); the unique impact +of every predictor in the model is regarded to be  substantial. +Table  3 shows both the fit indices and Δχ2 for the specified +models. Constraining beta weights to zero for FLCA in model +A1 (β FLCA = 0) and anxiety in model A2 (β FLE = 0) yielded +significant Δχ2 (model A1 (β FLCA = 0): Δχ2 (1, N = 195) = 5.26, +p < 0.01; model A2 (β FLE = 0): Δχ2 (1, N = 195) = 6.01, p < 0.01). +These results also verified the significant predictive power of +FLCA and FLE in influencing ideal L2 self. +DISCUSSION +With the aim of shedding more light on the role of negative +and positive emotions in L2 learning, the present study +sought to explore the joint influence of negative and positive +emotions on the ideal L2 self. More particularly, this research +explored whether and how FLCA and FLE could predict +ideal L2 self, a central element of L2 motivational self system +(Dörnyei, 2009). The findings obtained from the proposed +structural model indicated two major findings. First, it was +revealed that FLCA predicted ideal L2 self negatively. This +is partially in agreement with those of other empirical +research (e.g., Papi, 2010; Yang, 2012; Ueki and Takeuchi, +2013), which reported a strong link between ideal L2 self +and anxiety. The findings from a study of Yang (2012), for +instance, showed that ideal L2 self acted as a significant +correlate of FL anxiety. It was suggested that since Taiwanese +students were highly motivated to achieve high proficiency +level in English, they experienced higher anxiety level to +reach their goal in the future. In other words, learners’ +desires to become like native speakers caused them to feel +a significant level of anxiety. Moreover, this is partially in +line with the study conducted by Papi (2010), in which the +impact of Iranian EFL students’ ideal L2 self on anxiety +revealed that ideal L2 self had a strong role in decreasing +their anxiety level. +In light of justifying such findings, it can be  claimed that +the high level of anxiety that learners experience prevents them +from articulating answers to questions, following the lesson, +and socializing with others. Therefore, given their inability in +communication and learning, they visualize a negative and +unclear self-image of their L2 learning in future. This argument +can be at variance with Ueki and Takeuchi (2013), who suggested +that students without a clear image of their ideal L2 self show +greater tendency to deal with more anxiety in L2 learning +compared to those who have clearer images. Moreover, it can +be  argued that students susceptible to high degrees of anxiety +get demotivated when they are negatively evaluated because +of their mistakes and poor performance. Therefore, the low +levels of motivation dampen their desire and aspiration +concerning language learning. This may suggest that FLCA +has a detrimental influence on EFL students’ ideal self-images +of L2 learning and its use in the future. +TABLE 1  |  Fit indices of the measurement models. +χ2 +df +χ2/df +GFI +CFI +TLI +RMSEA +FLE +40.23 +20 +2.01 +0.96 +0.98 +0.97 +0.05 +FLCA +212.11 +107 +1.98 +0.97 +0.98 +0.98 +0.04 +Ideal L2 self +98.12 +59 +1.66 +0.96 +0.97 +0.97 +0.05 +TABLE 2  |  Reliability of the scales. +Scales +Cronbach’s α +FLE +0.81 +FLCA +0.79 +Ideal L2 self +0.85 +TABLE 3  |  Descriptive statistics and correlations. +Mean (SD) +Correlation +1 +2 +3 +4 +FLCA +2.36 (0.79) +1.00 +FLE +3.28 (1.02) +−0.34* +1.00 +Ideal L2 self +3.19 (0.98) +−0.44** +0.56** +1.00 +*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +7 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +The second and foremost finding of this study revealed +that FLE plays a positive stronger role in predicting ideal L2 +self. This result resonates with the findings of a number of +studies highlighting the correlation between FLE and ideal L2 +self (Teimouri, 2017; Papi and Khajavy, 2021). The stronger +effect of FLE on ideal L2 self can be  justified in the light of +Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014) findings, which indicated that +students showed more enjoyment than anxiety in the classroom. +Model A +B +le +d +o +M +FIGURE 1  |  Foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) as predictors of ideal L2 self. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +8 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +Likewise, the results from the study of Khajavy et  al. (2018) +showed that Iranian EFL students experienced higher levels +of enjoyment than anxiety inside the class. Given the results +of these two studies, an interpretation seems valid: the more +students enjoy the process of their learning, the less anxiety +they experience. As a result, the high levels of students’ enjoyment +and interest boost their motivation (Papi et  al., 2019) which +results in positive perceptions toward L2 self-images (e.g., +attempting to speak the target language fluently) in the future. +It is acknowledged that there exists a strong relationship between +language learning enjoyment and motivation (see Zhang et al., +2020). This partially aligns with the investigation of Tahmouresi +and Papi (2021), which indicated that ideal L2 writing self +significantly affected L2 writing enjoyment, achievement, and +motivation, thereby reducing their L2 writing anxiety. Further +research carried out by Papi and Khajavy (2021) supported +the significance of ideal L2 self in predicting enjoyment and +anxiety. In a same vein, Teimouri (2017) found that the ideal +L2 self and enjoyment were significantly associated. +The introduction of positive psychology in applied linguistics +has caused a shift from exclusive concentration on negative +emotions, particularly FLCA to positive emotions, such as FLE +(Dewaele et al., 2019). Shifting from the only focus on negative +emotions, researchers have shown a more integrated view toward +negative as well as positive emotions that students experience +in L2 learning process (Li et  al., 2020). As Dewaele and +MacIntyre (2016) have highlighted the influential role of both +positive and negative emotions in language learning, suggesting +that they are language leaners’ right and left feet. Research +into positive emotions and negative emotions such as FLE +and FLCA in FL classroom has flourished during the past +decades. L2 researchers have tried to advance the existing +knowledge on how FLCA as negative and FLE as positive +emotions play significant roles in affecting learning from a +dynamic perspective. However, considering the fact that no +study has investigated the role of both FLCA and FLE in +predicting language learners’ ideal L2 self-images, the present +study attempted to fill this gap. The obtained findings of this +study can enrich literature on how negative and positive emotions +affect ideal L2 self, a core aspect of theory of motivation of +Dörnyei (2005, 2009). +CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS +Taken together, the findings of this study manifested the +significant roles that FLCA and FLE play in learners’ ideal +L2 self in an Iranian EFL setting. It was revealed that FLCA +negatively predicted the ideal L2 self of EFL students, whereas +FLE positively predicted ideal L2 self. This is to argue that +students with greater enjoyment levels are likely to have +positive image of their L2 self, while anxious students seem +to have negative perceptions toward their ideal L2 self in +the future. The results drawn from the present research +might add novel insights to the extant related knowledge. +These findings validate previous studies in the field of L2 +learning which have highlighted the importance of students’ +emotions +and +affective +domain +on +their +language +learning motivation. +The findings of this study point to a number of potential +pedagogical implications for teachers. EFL teachers can build +a stress-free and comfortable environment by implementing +various procedures, which promote students’ emotional security. +In case teachers are able to lessen anxiety and increase +enjoyment in learning atmosphere, they can enhance students’ +ideal L2 self and their language learning motivation. Research +has testified that language teachers have significant roles in +decreasing FLCA and strengthening FLE among their students +in the classrooms (Dewaele and Dewaele, 2020). From Dewaele +and MacIntyre (2014) perspectives, in addition to friendly +peers, and positive classroom environment, enjoyment is +boosted by supportive teachers. There might be various practical +strategies for teachers to create non-threatening classroom +environments. For instance, allowing students to work in +groups or pairs rather than lecturing alone in front of their +peers can reduce their anxiety level. In addition, playing a +short part of a musical instrument or song during break +times or pumping students up with a 5-min challenge or +physical activity, such as a simple whole-body stretches can +be considered as relaxation exercises. These exercises can also +give students feeling of enjoyment. For group discussions, +teachers can also choose interesting and familiar topics, which +students have background knowledge to talk about. Research +has shown that students get nervous when they encounter +unfamiliar topics (Cao and Philp, 2006). In another study, +Pawlak and Mystkowska-Wiertelak (2015) maintained that +students are unwilling to communicate when the topic is +boring and tiring. Additionally, it is recommended that teachers +use technology as a tool to teach a part of their lesson in +order to make the learning more enjoyable and motivating. +As an example, the teacher can divide the whole class into +some groups consisting of 3–6 members and engage them +in online tasks which they can work on collaboratively. The +key is combining learning models and teaching practices with +safe social media and technology learning tool use to promote +students’ understanding. +TABLE 4  |  Goodness of fit indices. +χ2 +χ2/df +GFI +TLI +CFI +RMSEA +Δχ2 +Models A and B +5.36 +1.72 +0.98 +0.97 +0.98 +0.042 +Model A1 (β FLCA = 0) +10.62 +2.53 +0.97 +0.98 +0.97 +0.035 +5.26* +Model A2 (β FLE = 0) +11.37 +2.76 +0.96 +0.97 +0.96 +0.028 +6.01* +*p < 0.05. + +Fathi and Mohammaddokht +Enjoyment, Anxiety, Ideal L2 Self, and EFL +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +9 +November 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 790648 +Despite the fact that the present study yielded important +results with regard to the effects of both negative and positive +emotional factors (FLE and FLCA) on the students’ ideal L2 +self, it also has some limitations.

Introducing second-hand clothing as an alternative to mitigate textile waste is advantageous for providing affordable clothing. However, the disposal of substandard and unsold garments obstructs riverways and drainage systems, leading to flooding. Moreover, incineration produces heightened greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating poverty and impeding development, particularly in Africa. Nevertheless, textile wastes present opportunities for establishing large-scale regeneration and recycling facilities, offering the potential for employment generation and skill development in Africa. This mini-review aims to underscore Africa’s potential and challenges in textile waste recycling. The findings underscore the importance of recognizing African textile waste, both as an environmental hazard and as a valuable resource for the production of new clothing. Additionally, they emphasize how efforts to add value to recovered textiles are gaining traction, particularly in East, South, and North Africa. However, no formal textile recycling facilities were identified in West and Central Africa. This mini-review is constrained by data limitations, encouraging future researchers to broaden its scope by examining individual countries and recycling companies. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/4664be3c3f56a3fe.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/4664be3c3f56a3fe.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2a2139ea0acd7162f33e776d0fd231dc7a587514 --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/4664be3c3f56a3fe.txt @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +Correction: Possible age-related differences in healthcare professionals’ perspectives on younger and older patients’ autonomy and decision-making in the context of sedation in specialised palliative care: exploratory secondary qualitative content and linguistic conversation analysis of interviews with healthcare professionals + +Kurkowski et al.

A.S. Kline 2003-05, slightly modified)2 +Horace wittily contrasts his own simple contentment with the brooding temperament of Tibullus, +and recommends that he rid himself of cares by ceasing to worry about death and living in the moment - +- not to concern himself with surpassing Cassius as a poet, nor to brood (Horace's word is curantem) +about what kind of behavior is worthy (dignum) of a sage or good person. The advice accords well with +Epicurus' emphasis on pleasure as the goal of life, and his belief that what most upsets human lives is +the fear of death: rid yourself of that, and you will have all the joy of which human nature is capable -- +and which, Horace seems to imply, is more or less that of a well-fed and pampered pig. + +If indeed pleasure is the supreme goal in life, and if pleasure, moreover, is perceived through the +senses, then it would seem to follow that a pig, or any other sentient animal, is capable of achieving +perfect happiness: hence Horace's image is strictly appropriate for an Epicurean.3 In Cicero's treatise On + +2 Albi, nostrorum sermonum candide iudex, +quid nunc te dicam facere in regione Pedana? +scribere quod Cassi Parmensis opuscula vincat +an tacitum silvas inter reptare salubris +curantem quidquid dignum sapiente bonoque est? +non tu corpus eras sine pectore: di tibi formam, +di tibi divitias dederunt artemque fruendi. +quid voveat dulci nutricula maius alumno, +qui sapere et fari possit quae sentiat et cui +gratia fama valetudo contingat abunde +et mundus victus non deficiente crumina? +inter spem curamque, timores inter et iras +omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum: +grata superveniet quae non sperabitur hora. +me pinguem et nitidum bene curata cute vises, +cum ridere voles, Epicuri de grege porcum. +3 On the idealization of the lowly pig by the skeptic Pyrrho, see Warren 2002: 113-16; as Warren observes (115- +16), “A pig is to be imitated not because it doubts its senses, but because it does not worry about whether a storm +is bad.” On pigs in connection with Epicureanism, see the learned account in Warren 2002: 129-49; Warren notes +(134) that “The Epicurean pig, when used as a positive symbol, recalls only the tranquil state of that animal rather +than its psychological incapacities.” Warren reproduces (133) a photograph of a bronze pig discovered in the Villa +of the Papyri in Herculaneum, which contained the library of the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus. + +3 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +Ends (De finibus), the Epicurean Torquatus explains the doctrine of pleasure in just such terms +(1.11.29): +We are inquiring, then, what is the final and ultimate good [extremum et ultimum bonorum], +which as all philosophers are agreed must be of such a nature as to be that to which all other +things are referred, while it is not itself referred to anything else. This Epicurus locates in +pleasure [voluptas], which he holds to be the highest good [summum bonum], and pain the +highest evil [summum malum]. This he sets out to prove as follows: Every animal, as soon as it is +born, seeks pleasure and delights in it as the highest good, while it avoids pain as the highest evil +and so far as possible avoids it. This it does as long as it remains unperverted, its nature itself +judging honestly and uncorrupted.4 Hence Epicurus refuses to admit any necessity for argument +or discussion to prove that pleasure is desirable and pain to be avoided. These things, he thinks, +are perceived by the senses [sentiri], as that fire is hot, snow white, honey sweet, none of which +things need be proved by elaborate reasoning: it is enough merely to draw attention [admonere] +to them. (trans. based on Harris Rackham, Loeb Library, much modified)5 +Cicero is a prejudiced source when it comes to Epicurean doctrine, but the account of pleasure +that he places in Torquatus' mouth is broadly faithful to Epicurus' own view -- subject to the important +proviso that (as we shall see) it is incomplete.6 Thus Diogenes of Oenoanda, a confirmed Epicurean who +had an entire wall inscribed with the teachings of the school so as to benefit both friend and stranger +alike, affirms (fr. 32): +If, gentlemen, the point at issue between these people and us involved inquiry into "what is the +means of happiness? [eudaimonia]" and they wanted to say "the virtues [aretai]" (which would +actually be true), it would be unnecessary to take any other step than to agree with them about +this, without more ado. But since, as I say, the issue is not "what is the means of happiness?" but +"what is happiness and what is the ultimate goal [to eskhaton] of our nature?", I say both now +and always, shouting out loudly to all Greeks and non-Greeks, that pleasure [hêdonê] is the end +[telos] of the best mode of life, while the virtues, which are inopportunely messed about by these + +4 Cf.

(trans.

Therefore also, we, with our own inclinations, flee from pain.... And we choose the +virtues too on account of pleasure and not for their own sake, just as we take medicine for the +sake of health.... Epicurus describes virtue as inseparable from pleasure, while everything +separable from pleasure is expendable. +Finally, Epicurus himself states in his Letter to Menoeceus (128-29): "And so we say that +pleasure [hêdonê] is the beginning and end [arkhê kai telos] of living blessedly [tou makariôs zên], for +we recognize pleasure as the first and innate good, and on the basis of pleasure we make a beginning for +every choice and avoidance, and we arrive at pleasure by judging every good by means of sensation as +our measure [hôs kanoni tôi pathei]."8 What is more, there can be no doubt that Epicurus is referring to +corporeal pleasure -- not of the body as such, of course, since the body apart from the soul can perceive +nothing at all, but the body in combination with that part of the soul that perceives; as a fragment +preserved in Plutarch puts it, "The beginning and the root of all good is the pleasure of the stomach; +even wisdom and culture must be referred to this." And another fragment, preserved by Athenaeus +(12.546E) and still more notorious, ascribes to Epicurus (in his treatise, On the End or Peri tou telous) +the statement: "I cannot think what the good is, if I subtract the pleasures of taste, subtract those of sex, + +7 Fr. 32 col. 1.6-col. 3.8: εἰ µέν, ὦ ἄνδρες, τὸ µεταξὺ τούτων τε καὶ ἡµῶν προβεβληµένον ἐπίσκεψιν εἶχεν "τί τῆς +εὐδαιµονίας ποιητικόν", ἐβούλοντο δ᾽ οὗτοι τὰς ἀρετὰς λέγειν, ὃ δὴ καὶ ἀληθὲς ἐτύνχανεν, οὐδὲν ἄλλ᾽ ἔδει ποιεῖν +ἢ τούτοις [τοῦθ᾽ ὁ]µ̣ογνωµονοῦν[τας µ]ὴ̣ ἔχειν πράγµα[τα. ἐπ]εὶ δ᾽, ὡς λέγω, τὸ πρόβ[ληµ]α οὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν, τί +τ̣[ῆ]ς εὐδαιµονίας ποιητ[ι]κόν, τί δὲ τὸ εὐδαιµονε̣ῖν ἐστιν καὶ οὗ κατὰ τὸ̣ [ἔ]σχατον ἡ φύσις 56ἡµῶ[ν] ὀ̣ρέγετα̣ι̣, +[τ]ὴν µὲν [ἡ]δ̣ονὴν λ̣[έγ]ω̣ καὶ νῦν̣ κ̣αὶ ἀεὶ πᾶσιν Ἕλλησι κ[αὶ] βαρβάροις µέγα ἐνβ̣[ο]ῶν τῆς ἀρίστης δια[γ]ω̣γῆς +ὑπάρχειν τέ̣λος, τὰς δὲ ἀρετὰς τὰς νῦν ἀκαίρως ὑπὸ τούτων ἐνοχλουµένας (ἀπὸ γὰρ τῆς τοῦ ποιητικοῦ χώρας εἰς +τὴν τοῦ τέλους (µεταφέρονται) τέλος µὲν οὐδαµῶς, ποιητικὰς δὲ τοῦ τέλους εἶναι.

Cicero Tusculan Disputations 3.8.42). + +If these pleasures are all there is to Epicurean happiness, then it would indeed seem that a pig is +capable of enjoying the highest good, provided -- and this is a significant qualification -- that it can do so +permanently, something that pigs by and large cannot secure by their own efforts. Still, all that they +would lack in this case is continuity of their pleasure, for which they depend on a good herdsman; the +nature of their pleasure is not different from that enjoyed by more self-sufficient human beings.9 + +In Plutarch's essay Gryllus, also entitled "On the Fact that Unreasoning Creatures Employ +Reason," one of men whom Circe has turned into a pig refuses Odysseus' offer to have him converted +back to human form, insisting that a pig's life is superior to that of human beings (Circe has given him +temporarily the gift of speech and comprehension).10 Much of the pig's argument turns on demonstrating +that his species is more virtuous, and hence happier, than humans, and since virtues were generally +understood to depend on reason, the pig's claims are plainly paradoxical, like the alternate title of the +dialogue itself. In the course of his proof that pigs have great self-control or sôphrosunê, however, +Gryllus (as the pig is called) appeals precisely to the Epicurean distinction among desires or appetites as + +9 Principal Doctrine 18 states that “Pleasure in the flesh is not increased, when once the pain deriving from lack is +eliminated, but merely varied; the limit of the mind in relation to pleasure is provided by the calculation of those +very things, and things like them, that cause the mind its greatest fears” (Οὐκ ἐπαύξεται ἐν τῇ σαρκί ἡ ἡδονή, +ἐπειδὰν ἅπαξ τὸ κατ’ ἔνδειαν ἀλγοῦν ἐξαιρεθῇ, ἀλλὰ µόνον ποικίλλεται. τῆς δὲ διανοίας τὸ πέρας τὸ κατὰ τὴν +ἡδονήν ἀπεγέννησεν ἥ τε τούτων αὐτῶν ἐκλόγισις καὶ τῶν ὁµογενῶν τούτοις, ὅσα τούς µεγίστους φόβους +παρεσκεύαζε τῇ διανοίᾳ; I take τούτων as the antecedent of ὅσα, and not as referring back to “pleasures” (so Geer +1964: 62; contra Bailey 1926: 99; Inwood and Gerson 1994: 33): the flesh naturally reaches a state of fulfillment, +whereas the mind must reflect in order to rid itself of perturbations. Principal Doctrine 20, however, is +problematic; I translate: “the flesh takes the limits of pleasure as unlimited, and limitless time provides it [i.e., +pleasure], but the mind makes a calculation of the end and limit of the flesh and, dissolving fears concerning +eternity, provides a complete life, and no longer lacks anything in respect to limitless time” (Ἡ µὲν σὰρξ ἀπέλαβε +τὰ πέρατα τῆς ἡδονῆς ἄπειρα, καὶ ἄπειρος αὐτὴν χρόνος παρεσκεύασεν· ἡ δὲ διάνοια τοῦ τῆς σαρκὸς τέλους καὶ +πέρατος λαβοῦσα τὸν ἐπιλογισµὸν καὶ τοὺς ὑπὲρ τοῦ αἰῶνος φόβους ἐκλύσασα τὸν παντελῆ βίον παρεσκεύασεν, +καὶ οὐθὲν ἔτι τοῦ ἀπείρου χρὸνου προσεδεήθηµεν). Surely the flesh (even if sarx here is shorthand for “body plus +the non-rational part of the soul, which is the seat of perception”) does not have beliefs (as Geer 1964: 62 takes it) +or make judgments. The idea must be, I think, that the pleasure of physical well-being in and of itself is not +marked by a sense of limit, and so is wholly satisfying; the mind, however, is aware of the temporal limits of flesh +and so must achieve a sense of its completeness by banishing fears of death. +10 For further discussion of the Gryllus, see Konstan 2011. + +6 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +(1) natural and necessary, (2) natural but not necessary, and (3) neither necessary nor natural but arising +out of empty or false belief (kenê doxê, 989B-C; cf. Epicurus Letter to Menoeceus 127; Principal +Doctrine 29).11 Human beings, he alleges, are susceptible to the last kind -- we understand that they are +capable of having beliefs, and hence false as well as true ones -- whereas "wild animals have souls that +are wholly inaccessible to and unmixed with extrinsic passions [pathê] and in their lives are remote from +empty belief" (989C). Of course, if animals are by nature immune to unnatural desires and free of empty +doxa -- as they are from all belief, whether true or false -- then they have no need of sôphrosunê, the +object of which is to govern such appetites. But if Gryllus' position is wittily illogical in regard to +virtues, which were central to the good life in Stoicism and other ancient schools, he may still have a +case that his is the best life on Epicurus' view, in which the natural pleasures are indeed represented as +the highest objective in life. Here again, Epicurean happiness would seem to be something that a pig can +lay claim to enjoying. + +There is, however, a flaw in Gryllus' position, and this apart from his acknowledged dependency +on Circe's tendance of her metamorphosed herds (and hence his insufficiency to secure his own +happiness). The Epicurean definition of the highest good is not in fact reducible to the enjoyment of +pleasures, however natural. Lucretius, for example, exclaims in the proem to the second book of his +poem, De rerum natura, Lucretius: +O minds of mortals, blighted by your blindness! Amid what +deep darkness and daunting dangers life's little day is passed! To think that you should fail to +see that nature importunately demands [latrare] only that the body may be rid of pain, and that +the mind [mens], divorced from anxiety and fear, may enjoy agreeable sensation [iucundus +sensus]! (trans. Smith 2001: 35–36, modified)12 + +11 Erroneous beliefs are referred to as hupoleipseis in Letter to Menoeceus 124, in connection with popular +conceptions of the gods; these clearly cannot be ascribed to animals. On such “suppositions,” see Verde 2010: +126-28. +12 o miseras hominum mentis, o pectora caeca! +qualibus in tenebris vitae quantisque periclis +degitur hoc aevi quodcumquest! nonne videre +nil aliud sibi naturam latrare nisi utqui +corpore seiunctus dolor absit, mente fruatur +iucundo sensu cura semota metuque? (2.14–19) + +7 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +What nature -- human nature, presumably, but also the natural order of things -- howls out for is +in the first instance an absence, that is, freedom both from physical pain and mental anguish. The word +latrare refers literally to the barking of dogs, and Lucretius no doubt employs it here not just to indicate +an emphatic appeal, as Martin Ferguson Smith renders it, but the claim of nature at the most basic +animal level. A further benefit of the lack of physical and mental misery is the ability to enjoy pleasant +sensations. Lucretius faithfully reflects Epicurus' own conception; as he writes in his Letter to +Menoeceus (128), just before the passage from this same epistle cited above: +an unerring theory of the desires knows to refer every choice and avoidance to the health of the +body and the inperturbability [ataraxia] of the soul, since this is the goal [telos] of living +blessedly. We do everything for the sake of this, so that we may neither be in pain [algômen] +nor tremble fearfully [tarbômen]. Once this is the case for us, the entire storm of the soul is +dissipated; since the animal [to zôon] cannot proceed as though to something it needs and seek +something else by which the good of the soul and body will be fulfilled [sumplêrôsetai]. For it is +then that we have need of pleasure, when we are in pain because pleasure is not present: when +we are not in pain, we no longer need pleasure. +If the goal of life is liberation both from bodily pain and from mental or psychological anxiety, +then animals will only be able to enjoy this highest good if they know both kinds of freedom. Now, we +have seen that animals are not capable of entertaining false beliefs, inasmuch as they do not have beliefs +at all: that is, they are capable of perception, but not reason in the full sense of logos. Epicurus regarded +the human soul as having two parts: thus, a scholium that has found its way into the text of Diogenes +Laertius (10.66 = fr. 311 Usener) reports: "He says elsewhere that it [the soul] is made up of very +smooth and round atoms, which differ greatly from those of fire; and one part of it is non-rational +[alogon], and dispersed throughout the rest of the body; but the rational part [to logikon] is in the chest +[thôrax], as is evident from fears [phoboi] and from joy [khara]."13 This account corresponds perfectly +to what Lucretius tells us (3.136–51, trans. Long and Sedley 1987 vol. 1: 66–67; Latin words inserted by +me): +My next point is that the mind [animus] and the spirit [anima] are firmly interlinked and +constitute a single nature, but that the deliberative element [consilium] which we call the mind + +13 It may be, as some have argued, that at the time he composed the Letter to Herodotus, Epicurus had not yet +thought of the soul as divided, and that the scholium represents a later revision of his view (there is a textual +difficulty here as well, involving the reading ti meros, proposed in 1877, vs. the mss. to meros). For full +discussion, with bibliography, see Verde 2010: 193-96; also Repici 2008. + +8 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +[animum mentemque] is, as it were, the chief, and holds sway throughout the body. It is firmly +located in the central part of the chest. For that is where fear and dread [pavor ac metus] leap up, +and where joys [laetitiae] caress us: therefore it is where the mind [mens animusque] is. The +remaining part of the spirit [anima], which is distributed throughout the body, obeys the mind +[mens] and moves at its beck and call. The mind by itself possesses its own understanding and +its own joys [sibi gaudet] while nothing is affecting either the spirit [anima] or the body. And +just as, when our head or eye is hurt [laeditur] by an attack of pain [dolor], the agony is not +shared [non ... concruciamur] by our whole body, so too the mind [animus] sometimes itself +suffers pain [laeditur] or waxes with joy [laetitia] while the rest of the spirit [anima] throughout +the limbs and frame is receiving no new stimulus. +The Epicurean Hermarchus is quoted (by Porphyry in his treatise On Abstention from Eating +Meat, 1.12) as stating that justice does not obtain between human beings and animals because the +animals lack reason or logos (cf. Epicurus Principal Doctrine 32: "For those animals that were unable to +form pacts not to harm one another or be harmed, there existed neither justness nor injustice"; Warren +2002: 138–40). Polystratus, in turn, who succeeded Hermarchus as the third head of the Garden +(Diogenes Laertius 10.25), denied to animals even the possibility of remembering or anticipating events, +including their own past and future states of pleasure and pain (coll. I–VII = Indelli 1978: 109–11; cf. +Warren 2002: 137–38).14 + +The Epicurean account of animal consciousness is thus even more reductive, in this sense, than +that of other schools, such as the Peripatetic (they were more alike in this respect to the Stoics). +Aristotle allowed that animals possess "similarities to intelligent understanding (τῆς περὶ τὴν διάνοιαν +συνέσεως … ὁµοιότητες, History of Animals 8.588a23–24), and granted animals, if not logos (this is +reserved for human beings, Politics 1332b5–6), at least a fairly high degree of practical intelligence or +phronêsis, and also (though not quite consistently) memory: "the more intelligent [sunetôtera] ones, +which have a share in memory, tend their offspring longer and more sociably [politikôteron]" (History +of Animals 8, 589a1–2). At Politics 1253a9–15, however, Aristotle states that "among animals, only the + +14 Principal Doctrine 32 might seem to contradict the proposition that animals are not rational: “Toward those +animals that are incapable of making agreements as to not harming one another or being harmed there is neither +justice nor injustice, and similarly for those peoples who are either unable or unwilling to make agreements +concerning not harming or being harmed.” But the argument is, I think, that just as we cannot make agreements +with (non-human) animals, so too we cannot make them with certain groups of human beings, and hence there is +no relation of justice with them (cf. Bailey 1926: 269). It is not a statement that some non-human animals can +enter into agreements. + +9 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +human being possesses reason. Voicing is a sign of what is painful and pleasant, which is why it pertains +also to other animals (their nature reaches the level of having the perception [αἴσθησις] of what is +painful and pleasurable and signaling it to one another), but speech [λόγος] is for manifesting what is +advantageous and harmful, and so too what is just and unjust". As a result, only human beings can +experience happiness (Parts of Animals 656a5).15 + +A question poses itself: if animals do not have memory or the ability to imagine the future, +according to Epicureans, how is it that they experience fear, for example, which would seem to depend +on the awareness that certain things, for example predators, can cause them harm? Lucretius provides, I +believe, an indication of how it might work, in his explanation -- in materialist terms, to be sure -- of +why it is that lions cannot bear the sight of roosters, but instantly take to flight (for this rather odd +notion, cf. Pliny Natural History 8.52, Achilles Tatius 2.21, Aelian On the Nature of Animals 3.31): +It is no wonder, since in the body of roosters there are certain constituents, which when they are +introduced into the eyes of lions, dig into their pupils and produce a sharp pain [dolor], so that, +fierce as they are, they cannot withstand it, although these [constituents] cannot harm our eyes, +either because they do not penetrate them or because, though they do penetrate, they are given +free passage out of our eyes, so that they cannot harm our eyes in any direction by remaining +trapped inside. (4.714-21) +The lion flees roosters because the sight of them produces pain; their simulacra are shaped in +such a way as to sting the eyes of lions, though they do not have this effect on human beings. Lions do +not believe that roosters pose a threat to them, and so, strictly speaking, they do not fear them, insofar as +fear requires an anticipation of a future harm (cf. Aristotle Rhetoric 2.5, 1382a21-25; discussion in +Konstan 2006: 129-55). Their behavior does not depend on reason or on memory, and we may suppose +that this mechanism applies as well to the natural or instinctive avoidance of harm on the part of animals +in general. + +Let us return to the matter of pleasure and pain. The Epicureans maintain, according to Diogenes +Laertius (10.34), that "there are two experiences [or affections: pathê, plural of pathos], pleasure +[hêdonê] and pain [algêdôn], which exist in every animal, the one pertaining to what is one's own + +15 On animals and reason in classical thought, see especially Sorabji 1993, who argues that Aristotle and the +Stoics ascribed a considerably sophisticated role to perception, which substituted for fully human reason or logos; +also Newmyer 2006: 10-47. + +10 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +[oikeion], the other pertaining to what is foreign [allotrion], by which choices and avoidances are +distinguished." In this sense, pleasure is the universal goal of sentient creatures, that is, creatures capable +of perception or aisthêsis. However, as we have observed, if for animals it is sufficient for their well- +being simply to be rid of pain and to enjoy pleasure, for human beings this is not sufficient: we also +require a mind free from perturbation. These two conditions, taken together, constitute the basis of +human happiness. Each part of the soul, the non-rational or alogon part (in Lucretius' terminology, the +anima) and the rational or logikon part, is capable independently of experiencing pain of the kind that +specifically affects it. + +Let us cite once more Lucretius' words: "The mind by itself possesses its own understanding and +its own joys [sibi gaudet] while nothing is affecting either the spirit [anima] or the body. And just as, +when our head or eye is hurt [laeditur] by an attack of pain [dolor], the agony is not shared [non ... +concruciamur] by our whole body, so too the mind [animus] sometimes itself suffers pain [laeditur] or +waxes with joy [laetitia] while the rest of the spirit [anima] throughout the limbs and frame is receiving +no new stimulus." The pain of the mind consists in fear and similar psychological perturbations (we +shall consider shortly the nature of the opposite or positive state of khara or laetitia). An animal may +suffer pain in one part of its body and not another, just like us; but we have a part that animals do not, +namely the rational portion of the soul; a pig, for example, can no more feel pain or pleasure in this area +of the psyche than human beings can feel pain in their tails, and for the same reason: we do not have +tails any more than pigs have a logikon part of their souls. + +Still, there is a difference between the two cases: the pain that pigs or we feel in one or another +part of our body, and which of course involves the non-rational part of the soul as well (dead bodies feel +no pain), is the same in kind, no matter what part is affected: it is called dolor or algêdôn, terms that +refer specifically to physical pain. The discomfort of the rational soul, however, is of another kind: it +consists in being in a fearful or anxious state (cf. Epicurus' term tarbômen, and Lucretius' cura), and this +depends on entertaining certain kinds of beliefs -- false ones, as it happens -- concerning the nature of +death and other things we wrongly regard as harmful. Human beings require that both the non-rational +and the rational parts of the soul be free of their respective types of trouble. What is more, the +perturbations of the mind carry with them severe consequences for human life, in that people, in a vain + +11 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +attempt to avoid death, which they mistakenly perceive as an evil, are driven to seek unlimited wealth +and power, as though these could keep death at bay and thus allay their anxiety. These desires, which go +beyond the fulfillment of any and all natural needs, are the cause of the competition and conflict that +beset society and make life a hell on earth (for discussion, see Konstan 2008). + +It is now time to consider more closely what the pains of the body and the soul are like. We have +already cited Epicurus' view that "we have need of pleasure when we are in pain because pleasure is not +present: when we are not in pain, we no longer need pleasure." This rather telegraphic statement +involves a doctrine concerning the nature of pleasure that invited considerable criticism in antiquity and +has been the source of confusion and debate ever since, namely that pleasure, or at least the highest type +of pleasure, which Epicurus labeled "static" or "catastematic," consists precisely in the absence of pain +and nothing else.16 Epicurus also recognized a kinetic or mobile kind of pleasure. Thus, according to +Diogenes Laertius (10.136 = fr. 2 Usener) Epicurus stated in his book On Choices (Peri haireseôn) that +"ataraxy and freedom from trouble [aponia] are catastematic pleasures [hêdonai]; but khara and good +cheer [euphrosunê] are regarded as kinetic activities" (reading κατὰ κίνησιν ἐνέργειαι [nom. pl.] with +Long and Sedley 1987 vol. 2: 124–25; the mss. give κατὰ κίνησιν ἐνεργείᾳ [dative sing.], "kinetic by +virtue of activity").17 + +Boris Nikolsky begins his important article on Epicurean pleasure with the words: "Practically +every modern survey of the Epicurean conception of pleasure begins by saying that Epicurus' concept of +pleasure was twofold: in the opinion of researchers, Epicurus distinguished two kinds of pleasure -- a +'static' pleasure or a pleasure 'in a state of rest' and a 'kinetic' pleasure or a pleasure 'in motion.'"18 +Unfortunately, most the evidence for the nature of this distinction is late -- Cicero is the chief source -- + +16 For the background to the idea of an intermediate state between pleasure and pain in Speusippus, Eudoxus, and +Aristotle, see Warren 2009. +17 Wolfsdorf 2009: 223-37 shows convincingly that euphrosunê might naturally be applied to the good cheer +arising from bodily pleasures, and that it was so intended by Epicurus; on khara, see Ramelli and Konstan 2010 +(Maso 2008: 220 mistakenly takes khara to represent corporeal kinetic pleasure, and euphrosunê that of the +mind). Purinton 1991: 287 denies that khara is a pleasure of any kind, and understands it rather as “the intentional +state which has pleasure as its intentional object”. I am not persuaded that Epicurus took account of such +intentional states. +18 Nikolsky 2001: 440. + +12 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +and not entirely perspicuous. Thus, Torquatus, in the dialogue On Ends (1.37), explains that mobile +pleasure "moves our nature by a kind of gentleness and is perceived by the senses with a kind of +pleasantness (suavitate aliqua naturam ipsam movet et iucunditate quadam percipitur sensibus), +whereas static pleasure "is perceived when all pain is removed" (percipitur omni dolore detracto). As +Nikolsky remarks (p. 441): "Here Torquatus draws a distinction between two different states to either of +which, in his opinion, the notion of pleasure can be applied -- firstly, a state presupposing active +stimulation of pleasant sensations and, secondly, a state negatively defined as the absence of pain and +suffering." Cicero further explains, in his response to Torquatus, that "when thirst is quenched it +produces a stability of pleasure, he claims, but the pleasure, in turn, of the quenching itself is in motion" +(On Ends 2.9: restincta sitis stabilitatem voluptatis habet, inquit, illa autem voluptas ipsius restinctionis +in motu est). + +Some scholars, including Nikolsky, have sought to impugn Cicero's testimony, pointing to +inconsistencies in Cicero's own statements and between his affirmations and other, independent +evidence.19 These scholars have sought to show that the two ostensibly different kinds of pleasure are in +fact one and the same, or at all events that the distinction, such as it is, does not entail the view, which +Cicero was pleased to ridicule, that pleasure resides simply in the absence of pain; as Cicero puts it (On +Ends 2.6): "either Epicurus, or else all other human beings anywhere in the world, do not know what +pleasure is..., since everyone knows that pleasure is that which perception receives and is moved by and +is then suffused with a kind of pleasantness" (aut Epicurus, quid sit voluptas, aut omnes mortales, qui +ubicumque sunt, nesciunt ... quia voluptatem hanc esse sentiunt omnes, quam sensus accipiens movetur +et iucunditate quadam perfunditur).20 + +19 Cf. Gosling and Taylor 1982: 365-396; also Cooper 1998: 512, who argues that the distinction between static +and kinetic pleasures depends on the objects, and is not “a distinction of kind” between the two types of pleasure; +for a critique of Nikolsky and of Gosling and Taylor on this score, see Wolfsdorf 2009: 243-53. See also Erler +and Schofield 1999: 655, who argue that Cicero’s testimony concerning the quenching of thirst (On Ends 2.9, +quoted above) “is an isolated text whose interpretation is fiercely contested. It is not easy to reconcile with other +evidence, including the explanation of kinetic pleasure as variation Cicero goes on at once to give”; Erler and +Schofield suggest that “Perhaps Epicurus himself never indicated how he would classify pleasures of restoration +of the body’s natural state.” +20 As Francesco Verde reminds me, Cicero’s statement may be evidence of an evolution of the Epicurean doctrine +of pleasure by his time. + +13 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + + +There is, however, sufficient testimony that, for Epicurus, static pleasure consists in the absence +of pain or perturbation, whether in the body or the mind; as Epicurus puts it (Principal Doctrine 3), "The +limit of the magnitude of pleasures is the removal of all that causes pain, and wherever there is pleasure, +for as long as it is there, there does not exist that which causes pain or distress or the two combined." +Far from regarding the idea is incoherent or absurd, I believe that it reflects an important aspect of +Epicurus' philosophy, namely that human beings (and indeed animals too, in their more limited way) are +naturally in a state of pleasure when they are healthy and free of cares; our natures are thus perfectly +suited to attaining the goal of pleasure, by the simple means of eliminating the sources of pain. This is +not, of course, always easy or possible, but given that our physical needs are, according to Epicurus, +relatively limited, and that most of the psychological perturbations that afflict us depend on empty or +erroneous beliefs and can be eradicated entirely (there do exist rational fears, of course, and while these +can be managed they are potential sources of distress), human beings are well adapted to achieving what +for Epicurus is the goal of life. + +How, then, does Epicurus understand the pleasure that consists in the mere absence of pain or +perturbation, and what has this to do with the distinction between static and mobile pleasures? When I +wrote my book on Epicurean psychology (most recent edition published in 2008), I held the +conventional view, criticized by Cicero but plausible on the surface, that "kinetic pleasures are those +associated with fulfilling any kind of need, and above all a natural one like eating" (Konstan 2008: 14 n. +19). Thus, static pleasure consists in the satiated state of the body when one has finished eating, that is, +when one has supplied the deficiency that is perceived as the painful sensation of hunger, whereas the +process of eating -- clearly a kind of activity or motion -- is the source of kinetic pleasure.21 I have come + +21 The view, that is, of Cicero’s Epicurean spokesman Torquatus in On Ends 2.9-10, cited above. Cf. Rosenbaum +1990: 24: "The difference between kinetic and katastematic pleasure seems to be that between the pleasure of the +activity of satisfying desires, wants, or urges, and the pleasure of being in a state of having satisfied one's desires, +or perhaps as appropriately, being in a state of not having (certain types of) desires or urges"; Held 2007: 18: +“Kinetische Lust ist ein Prozess der Schmerzaufhebung, der durch die Zufuhr von Lust Mangel beseitigt und ist +damit graduierbar und quantifizierbar.” Held argues (32-33, 53) that kinetic and static pleasures must be different +in kind, since static pleasure is the state (Zustand) that is reached when the process of eliminating pain comes to +an end (contrast Hossenfelder 2006: 72, who affirms “dass es nur eine Lust und nicht mehrere Arten gibt”). +O’Keefe 2010: 119-20 offers two sources of kinetic pleasure (I agree with the first of these): “‘Kinetic’ pleasures, +as the name suggests, involve movement. Bodily kinetic pleasures are associated with some sort of active +titillation of the senses, for example the savoury, greasy taste of a sausage slathered with mustard as it caresses + +14 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +now to believe that this account is wrong, while at the same time I hold that there is in fact a distinction +between static and mobile pleasure in Epicurean doctrine. The incorrect interpretation, to which I was +party, has its origin, as Nikolsky shows in the above-cited article, in the traditional view of pleasure and +pain, which was analyzed most penetratingly by Plato and became the basis of the Cyrenaic theory of +pleasure, which Epicurus rejected. On this view, as Plato noted, pain and pleasure are not strictly +speaking opposites: for pain consists in a lack, whereas pleasure consists in the filling of the lack. Pain +is thus a state, whereas pleasure is a process, and ordinary language is wrong in regarding them as +contraries. What is more, Plato observed that, so understood, pain and pleasure necessarily co-exist, +since one must be at least partially hungry -- in a state of lack -- to enjoy the process of replenishment. +Plato regarded such pleasure, accordingly, as impure or mixed. Such were the difficulties that beset the +conventional view, as Plato saw it, at all events when he was writing the Gorgias: thus, at 496C-E, peinê +and dipsê are described as aniaron or painful, whereas eating and drinking are a plêrôsis or filling and +hence pleasurable.22 + +The Cyrenaics, who were followers of Aristippus, a disciple of Socrates, evidently adopted +Plato's view of pleasure wholesale. Pleasure, they maintained, consists precisely in restocking the +depleted resources of the body, which is far more capable of enjoyment than the mind; hence, one +should cultivate desires with the purpose of satisfying them and thus experiencing the greatest quantity +of pleasure possible (Diogenes Laertius 2.86-90, where the Cyrenaic view that all pleasure is kinetic is +contrasted with the Epicurean conception). Epicurus, however, took a different line: he affirmed that +pleasure really is the opposite of pain, and that inasmuch as pain resides in a deficiency or lack, pleasure + +my tongue. They also seem to be associated with the process of satisfying some desire. For example, I am +hungry, and this hunger is painful. But then, as I chew the sausage and swallow it, I am in the process of +satisfying my desire for food and replenishing myself, and this process would be a bodily kinetic pleasure.” So +too Morel 2009: 196 describes “les plaisirs ‘en mouvement’ ou ‘cinétiques,’ comme le plaisir de boire quand on a +soif, ou encore la joie ou la gaieté qui succèdent aux moments de craintes ou l’angoisses,” and he speaks also of +“un plaisir de soulagement, de réplétion ou de compensation – ce qu’est le plaisir cinétique.” Morel’s suggestion +that the kinetic pleasures of the mind consist in the process of alleviating anxiety is interesting; however, I offer a +different explanation of khara below. On pleasures of replenishment, see also Long and Sedley 1987 vol. 1: 123; +contra Wolfsdorf 2009: 249. +22 Plato may have modified this view in the Philebus, where he identified what is painful rather as a dissolution +(lusis) or corruption (phthora), as opposed to pleasure, which is a filling up (31E-32A); here, then, pain and +pleasure are both processes, and hence contraries. + +15 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +consists in a state of sufficiency: both are in this sense static, and neither is a process. What, then, of the +pleasure associated with eating, drinking, and the like, which is experienced before the hunger or thirst +is satiated? The answer, I now believe, is that this pleasure derives from the partially replenished state +of the organ in question. If we suppose, for a moment, that hunger is caused by an emptiness of the +stomach, then when one has eaten some food, albeit not enough to fill the void, the stomach is in part +full, in part empty: the part that is full, and hence not in need, is the source of the pleasure that consists +in stable well-being, while the part that is still vacant is the cause of pain. The two pathê are indeed +experienced simultaneously, and in this sense the pleasure is not pure or uniform, but is accompanied by +pain. As Lucretius, in the passage quoted above, says, "when our head or eye is hurt by an attack of pain, +the agony is not shared [non ... concruciamur] by our whole body," or, more literally, "we are not racked +with pain in our whole body," which presumably experiences the pleasure consisting in the stable or +healthy state that is not affected by pain; so too, when a particular organ is partly in pain due to a +deficiency, the rest of it is not lacking and so enjoys what Epicurus labeled catastematic pleasure. As +one satisfies the need, moreover, the pleasure increases until the source of pain has been entirely +eliminated and the part affected is wholly sound. The pleasure does not dwindle to zero over the course +of this process, but steadily increases until all pain is absent.23 It is true that, in the Letter to Menoeceus +(131), Epicurus notes that "bread and water render the highest pleasure, when one who is in need +[endeôn] is offered them." But Epicurus' point here is not that the pleasure increases with the need, but +that the simplest and most available foods can provide as much pleasure as the most elaborate and +expensive; of course, there is no gain in pleasure from eating if one is already full.24 In these activities, +then, there is no place for kinetic pleasure. + +23 For a detailed and, to my mind, convincing defense of the view that “Epicurus does not recognize restorative +pleasures” (p. 252), see Wolfsdorf 2009; Wolfsdorf connects the Epicurean view with Aristotle’s notion of +“secondary actuality” (p. 257). +24 This is not to say that Epicurus was hostile to luxurious pleasures as such; he opposed them only insofar as they +are taken to be necessary for happiness. See Woolf 2009 for the argument that, according to Epicurus, “equipped +with the belief that little will always suffice, we should indeed choose plenty where available” (p. 162). To the +passages cited by Woolf, we may add Lucretius 2.20-36, which affirms that nature does not require elaborate +entertainments, but does not reject them per se, except insofar as the effort to acquire the resources needed to +supply them drives people to strive for wealth and power. Giannantoni 1984: 44 argues that kinetic pleasure is the +“soddisfazione di desideri naturali ma non necessari,” whereas kinetic pleasure is derives from the satisfaction of + +16 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + + +What, then, is the nature of this latter, mobile kind of pleasure? This, I believe, is the "agreeable +sensation [iucundus sensus]" that we are free to enjoy, as Lucretius put it, when the body is liberated +from pain and the mind from anxious fears.25 This pleasure is over and above that which consists in the +healthy state of body and mind represented by the absence of pain and perturbation; it involves such +unnecessary but harmless pleasures such as the enjoyment of pleasant odors, tastes or sounds, for +instance music. These pleasures have no corresponding lack: they are pure surplus, but not for that +reason problematic. Still, they are lesser pleasures, which we can take or leave without reducing the state +of perfect contentment that derives from the well-being of body and mind. It is these pleasures that +Epicurus refers to, I believe, when he declares that when we have achieved a state of pleasure it cannot +be increased but only varied: "Pleasure in the flesh is not increased, when once the pain deriving from +the lack is eliminated, but it is only varied" (Principal Doctrine 18, cited more fully above). + +If the kinetic pleasures of the body consist in such unalloyed, but also unnecessary, things as +sweet smells and delicious tastes, what of the kinetic pleasures of the mind? Here, as we have seen, we +are fortunate to have a clear statement, in the form of a quotation from Epicurus' On Choices: "ataraxy +and freedom from trouble [aponia] are catastematic pleasures [hêdonai]; but khara and good cheer +[euphrosunê] are regarded as kinetic activities." Khara, then, or joy (laetitia in Lucretius), which was +one of the signs that the mind is located in the chest and hence must itself be an attribute of the rational +part of the soul, differs from the mere exemption from fears, which is the natural and positive condition. +If it is to be analogous to the unmixed pleasures (in Plato's phrase) that are found in pleasant sights and +sounds and the like, then it is presumably a non-necessary pleasure, the absence of which is not +associated with pain (or, to put it differently, it does not arise when some associated pain or distress is +removed). Since this joy is also the positive counterpart, we are told, of fear, it presumably also depends +on belief, or at least on memory and anticipation, and also on calculation and whatever other mental +activities exceed mere perception. This is just what we should expect of a function of the logikon part of +the soul. I venture to suggest that reflection on past or future goods is among the things that cause this + +natural and necessary desires; cf. also Diano 1974: 170, who argues that static pleasure is produced when atoms +return to their original (stable) position. For a survey of modern views on the question, see Prost 2004: 119-24. +25 Cf. Cicero On Ends 2.6-7, which appears inconsistent with his statement that mobile pleasure resides in +replenishment; see too Nikolsky p. 441, and O’Keefe 2010: 119-20, cited above. + +17 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +kind of joy, as well as any other thoughts that are delightful and are not anticipations of the fulfillment +of irrational (as opposed to non-rational) desires -- that is, desires that depend on empty opinion and are +themselves a product of empty fears.26 Doubtless, the satisfactions of friendship, which was celebrated +by the Epicureans, were an important source of such joy, among other reasons because friendship helps +instill a sense of security against dangers that might threaten one's tranquility.27 As Epicurus puts it +(Principal Doctrine 34): "we have use not so much for usefulness in our friends as for confidence in +their usefulness." + +There remains one further question on the nature of Epicurean pleasure: when we are +experiencing the kinetic joy of the mind, is there also associated with it the physical pleasure of hêdonê +that is experienced or perceived by the anima or non-rational part of the soul? And does the static +enjoyment of ataraxy, when the mind is free from fear and anxiety, entail a kind of sensible pleasure as +well? This is what Epicurus evidently says, when he affirms that "ataraxy and freedom from trouble are +catastematic hêdonai." My guess is that we do best to take him at his word, and suppose that positive +mental states, consisting in the absence of perturbation and the joy residing in pleasant thoughts, are also +perceived as pleasures by the alogon part of the soul, which is the locus of aisthêsis or perception. No +Epicurean ever claims that the atoms that constitute the non-rational part of the soul are excluded from +that part of the chest in which the finer atoms constituting the rational part or animus are located, and it +is entirely plausible that the animus intersects or overlaps with the anima. Although Lucretius makes it +clear that not every distress or pain experienced in the mind or body necessarily entails a corresponding +discomfort in the other part, he goes on to say that when the injury is great, then indeed there is such a +consequential effect (Lucretius 3.152-60), since the mind and body are alike material and contiguous. I +assume, then, that the pleasure deriving from ataraxy is genuine hêdonê, a pathos experienced in the +alogon part of the soul. + +26 Giovacchini 2008: 70 suggests that the pleasure deriving from an awareness of one’s own security while +observing the dangers to which others are exposed, as described by Lucretius in the proem to Book 2, is an +instance of khara; for the nature of this pleasure, see Konstan 2008: 29-35. +27 The knowledge that we have friends would thus be the source of kinetic, not catastematic pleasure; contra +Wheeler 2003: 184: "friendship -- while not strictly identical with happiness or the greatest good -- is identical +with a kind of katastematic pleasure." Of course, insofar as having friends induces a sense of security and hence +freedom from fear, it contributes to static pleasure, but is not identical to it. + +18 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + + +The combination of the pleasure deriving from a body free from pain and that of a soul free from +distress, accompanied, it may be, by pleasant thoughts and sensations, constitutes the highest form and +final end of human happiness. With it, we are equal to the gods: duration adds nothing to it, and the +subsidiary kinetic pleasures do no more than work variations on the fundamental felicity of well-being. +It is not a "neutral" state, as the opponents of Epicurus maintained, between pain and pleasure; it is the +state in which all is working as it should, and the opposite of disrupted or distressed conditions of mind +or body.28 It is not incompatible with a wide range of rational activities that differ from the simple +pleasures, for example goal-oriented pursuits that enable us to procure the basic necessities of life or +meet some other reasonable need or want; but such projects are not typically where pleasure is to be +found. An exception is philosophy. Epicurus writes (Vatican Saying 27): "In the case of other activities +their fruit [karpos] is accomplished with hardship, but with philosophy delight [to terpnon] runs hand in +hand with knowledge [gnôsis]; for the benefit [apolausis] comes not after learning, but learning and +benefit go together" (᾿Επὶ µὲν τῶν ἄλλων ἐπιτηδευµάτων µόλις τελειωθεῖσιν ὁ καρπὸς ἔρχεται, ἐπὶ δὲ +φιλοσοφίας συντρέχει τῇ γνώσει τὸ τερπνόν· οὐ γὰρ µετὰ µάθησιν ἀπόλαυσις, ἀλλὰ ἅµα µάθησις καὶ +ἀπόλαυσις). Epicurus is not claiming here (as I mistakenly supposed in my book, p. 16 n. 24) that there +are activities in which the pleasure resides in the achievement of a self-defined goal, rather than in the +activity itself (philosophy being the exception); he is affirming rather that among the activities that we +engage in for the sake of some benefit, philosophy is enjoyable even as we pursue the advantage we +seek to obtain from it. I suppose that practicing the violin is also fun (or can be), even as one seeks to +become proficient and achieve the benefit of being able to entertain others as well as one self with lovely +music. But it is important to note that Epicurus does not locate happiness in the achievement of personal +goals; hence a short life in which we may not succeed in realizing all our projects does not diminish +human happiness, in Epicurus' view.29 + +28 There is a certain resemblance between Epicurus’ view of the pleasure associated with the proper functioning or +well-being of the body and Aristotle’s conception of pleasure as “the activity of the natural state” (ἐνέργειαν τῆς +κατὰ φύσιν ἕξεως, Nicomachean Ethics 7.12, 1153a14); cf. Long and Sedley 1987 vol. 1: 123. +29 A number of modern scholars have faulted Epicurus for not taking such life projects into account; cf. in +particular Nussbaum 1994: 204-22, Rosenbaum 1990, and Striker 1988, in response to Mitsis 1988; see also +Mitsis 1996: 811-12: “if we think that death is robbing us of our future possibilities, we need to be careful not to +simply appropriate for ourselves possibilities that are not really ours. For the Epicurean, our possibilities end + +19 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + + +In a way, this is all there is to say about Epicurean eudaimonia. All the rest of the teaching is +designed to help people rid themselves of the irrational fears and attendant desires that assail the mind +and are the cause of constant struggles for wealth and power that put even the elementary necessities of +life at risk. Thus, the elaborate atomic theory inherited from Democritus and further developed by the +school is intended to show that survival of the soul, or consciousness in any form after death, is +impossible, and hence that the fear of suffering in the afterlife is ungrounded. Freeing the mind from +such beliefs is not easy, because they have taken root as human society evolved for reasons that the +Epicureans set forth as well. They thus worked out techniques for overcoming such inherited prejudices +and fears, including collective study and mutual support in small groups or communities, pedagogical +strategies (as outlined in the tract On Frank Speech by Philodemus), and memorization of useful +precepts (hence the collection of Principal Doctrines, for example). But the ultimate aim of these +methods and tenets was always to help people realize the crucial importance of bodily comfort and +above all peace of mind as the be-all and end-all of human happiness, which can be achieved far more +safely and with infinitely less peril and expenditure of energy than the things people typically strive for +in ignorance of what their natures require. + +Unlike other classical philosophical schools, such as that of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics, for +the Epicureans happiness or bliss (makariotês) and a life worthy of the gods was not by its nature +something that only a very few enlightened souls could be expected to achieve. Epicurean eudaimonia +was in principle available to anyone: it was a matter of obtaining a basic level of prosperity, which +human social organization and technology have made possible for everyone (provided there is no civil +strife and a vastly unequal distribution of wealth), and shedding received opinions that were little +plausible in themselves (e.g., divine punishment in the afterlife). Of course, such ideas were acquired in +childhood, when they could take root and become habitual; still, happiness was not a matter of acquiring +transcendental wisdom but simply the state of mental and physical well-being that is the natural +condition of human beings. Epicurean philosophy differs in this regard also from the right to the "pursuit +of happiness" enshrined in the United States Declaration of Independence: happiness is not pursued, it is + +when we go out of existence.” For the apparently more nuanced position of Philodemus regarding death, see +Armstrong 2004: 32-36, with substantial bibliography. + +20 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +there for the taking, once one sees what it consists in and provided that one can satisfy the basic needs of +the body (Epicurus sometimes speaks as though mental tranquility can override even the most severe +pain, and affirms that the sage can be happy on the rack [Diogenes Laertius 10.118 = fr. 601 Usener], +but I take this to be something of a polemical exaggeration, designed to emphasize the fact that the +causes of human unhappiness are principally psychological rather than physical, at least among the +classes to which the Epicureans addressed their writings).30 + +Epicurus' philosophy, moreover, is a kind of therapy, and is addressed principally to individuals, +in the hope of correcting their mistaken ideas and thereby curing them of their personal, even if +unacknowledged, disquiet.31 Correspondingly, the Epicureans had little interest in seeking political +remedies for human misery; they recommended that people avoid engaging in politics, if possible, since +it is an arena guaranteed to cause distress.32 Epicureans were prepared to offer advice to kings and other +sovereigns, such as Roman governors and emperors, who dominated the world in which they lived, +though individual cities had their own institutions that typically took the form of a limited democracy +managed by and for the local aristocracy. They most certainly preferred to live under good monarchs +rather than tyrants, who put their private interest above the welfare of their subjects (see, for example, +Philodemus On the Good King according to Homer, addressed to Piso, the father-in-law of Julius +Caesar, who was consul in 58 BC; Epicurus wrote a treatise, now lost, On Kingship).33 One will not +find, however, among the writings of Epicurus the kind of utopian republics imagined by Plato or by +Zeno and Chrysippus, or the model constitution envisaged by Aristotle in his Politics. + +30 Epicurus differed from the Cyrenaics also in holding that mental anguish was worse than physical pain +(Diogenes Laertius 10.137), and perhaps went overboard in maintaining that a sage could achieve perfect +contentment even in the presence of intense physical discomfort. To this end, Epicurus also argued that physical +pains, when intense, are generally brief, and when lasting, moderate enough to be borne with tranquility. +31 On the medical image of philosophy as therapy, see Salem 1989: 9-21. +32 For the vicissitudes of the Epicurean advice to “live unnoticed,” see Roskam 2007a; also Roskam 2007b. +Roskam argues that Epicurus’ aphorism was not intended as a blanket prohibition on any and all kinds of political +activity, though it later came to be perceived as such. +33 For a good discussion of the political context and purpose of Philodemus' treatise, see Gigante 1995; see further +De Sanctis 2008. Gigante and Dorandi 1980 argue that Epicurus knew the treatise on kingship by Anaxarchus (a +companion of Alexander the Great) and shared Anaxarchus’ approval of kingship as opposed to tyranny. + +21 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + + +Nor did the Epicureans interest themselves, so far as one can tell, in collecting information about +the "quality of life" of their contemporaries in the modern sense of the term. Some years ago, I +participated in a course called "The Quality of Life," which was taught jointly by members of four +different disciplines at Brown University: Philosophy, Economics (alternating with Sociology), Public +Health, and Classics (my own department). When introducing my own segment, I observed that what +today is called "quality of life" would in classical antiquity have gone under the name of "the good life." +The change in terminology is significant. "Quality of life" suggests something that can be measured and +evaluated objectively; it evokes international initiatives to invest in the improvement of the lives of +people who are impoverished and lack the resources, both material and organizational, to make progress. +To be sure, "quality of life," as employed, for example, by Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen in their +co-edited volume, The Quality of Life (1993), differs from narrowly economic gauges of well-being such +as income levels, which fail to take into account the absence of basic necessities such as schools or +access to clean water, while at the same time they tend to overlook less material assets that may enhance +life considerably, even in the absence of strictly financial prosperity. But such metrics of the quality of +life, even if they include intangible elements, do not typically offer theories of happiness such as that of +Epicurus and of other classical philosophers. In this respect, the Epicurean approach to eudaimonia may +seem irrelevant to modern pragmatic projects to ameliorate the condition of mankind in general. + +But Epicurus' conception of eudaimonia may nevertheless be useful to modern debates over +happiness for the way it unites, in a materialist view of nature, physical and mental well-being, and +understands happiness not as elation or even self-satisfaction, despite the focus on pleasure, but as the +normal or healthy human condition. Once one has eliminated the pains and perturbations that afflict both +body and mind, there is nothing left to strive for, though there is abundant joy, and this irrespective of +duration. Pleasure is a state: it is not a hedonic ideal that aims at maximizing pleasure quantitatively, or a +utilitarian calculus like Jeremy Bentham's "sum of pleasures and pains," even though the Epicureans +were entirely in favor of sacrificing short-term pleasures at times for the sake of the longer term. Thus, +Epicurus writes in the Letter to Menoeceus (129): "every pleasure is a good because of the nature it has, +but not every one is to be chosen, just as every pain is an evil, but not every pain is of such a nature as to +be avoided." But he does not offer this strategy as a way of measuring contentment, but simply as a + +22 + + +Journal of Ancient Philosophy Vol. VI 2012 Issue 1 + + + +means of securing the well-being of body and mind. Finally, Epicurean eudaimonia is not reducible to +positive thinking, or a question of attitude: it is not subjective in this sense. The idea that we simply are +happy when we are not beset by pain and above all by anxiety (that is, groundless fears) might inject a +dimension that is, I think, relatively rare in modern accounts.34 + + + +Bibliography + +Armstrong, David. 2004.

In doing so he draws on sociological studies of knowledge structure, including work by Bernstein (2000) and Maton (2011, 2014, 2016, Maton & Chen 2016, Maton & Howard 2016, Maton et al. 2016). As part of this projection he warns against falling foul of "various flavours and variations of Saussure's well-known proposal of language (or any other system) as a 'master template' for semiotics as such" (Bateman 2022: 47) and what he calls 'linguistic imperialism' (Bateman 2022b: 63). In addition he notes that 'predatory' interdisciplinarity "will be rejected from the start" (Bateman 2021: 308).Read in tandem with Kress's many declarations of a new age of meaning making called 'Multimodality' (e.g., Kress 2003Kress , 2010Kress , 2015)), superseding language and the discipline of linguistics, serious questions have to be raised about work on multimodality informed by a theory of language such as Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) -work evolving into something we might call Systemic Functional Semiotics (SFS) via publications such as Kress & van Leeuwen's Reading Images (1990 and Accordingly in this paper I will draw on the sociological studies referred to above to explore the nature of SFL and SFS as knowledge structures, compare them with the model of empirical multimodality envisioned by Bateman and make some suggestions about how his ambitions for the field might be most effectively accommodated. I write as an SFL linguist (discourse analyst in particular), who has been drawn into work on multimodality by research students and colleagues over the past two and a half decades. As such, given the misgivings about the contribution of linguistics noted above, I should perhaps request readers' indulgence -as I suggest that an SFL/SFS perspective need not be read as the foul and predatory one that some of the more logophobic multimodalists apparently fear.In discussions of this kind it is important to distinguish multimodality as a field of research and multimodality as its object of study. Multimodalists (like psychologists) unfortunately tend to use the same term for both phenomena (cf., language and linguistics for linguists). Where confusion might arise I will refer to the field of research as Multimodal Studies below.By way of framing the discussion let's begin with Bernstein's (1996: 23) distinction between singulars and regions. For Bernstein a singular is "a discourse which has appropriated a space to give itself a unique name", for example, "physics, chemistry, sociology, psychology" and which "created the field of the production of knowledge". These he contrasts with regions, "a recontextualising of singulars", for example, "medicine, architecture, engineering, information science", noting that "any regionalisation of knowledge implies a recontextualising principle: which singulars are to be selected, what knowledge within the singular is to be introduced and related." Importantly he goes on to comment that "regions are the interface between the field of the production of knowledge and any field of practice." Had Bernstein's vision extended into the 21st century, he might well have added multimodality as an emerging region to his list, with media and communications as its field of practice.Seen in these terms SFL is a canonical singular (Martin 2014(Martin , 2016) ) and contrasts with its regionalisation in the Sydney School's well-known genre-based literacy programs (Rose & Martin 2012) -which tend to draw on a range of relevant singulars (including for example Bernstein and Maton's sociology of knowledge, neo/Vygotskyan social psychology and strands of Critical Discourse Analysis). One possible reading of Bateman's vision would entail, via design and/or evolution, the transformation of Multimodal Studies into a singularwith its own distinctive knowledge structure deploying an empirical methodology grounding theory and description.Bernstein's perspective is further elaborated in the distinction he draws between horizontal and vertical discourse (an opposition between what he earlier on referred to as common and uncommon sense). A horizontal discourse involves "a set of strategies which are local, segmentally organised, context specific and dependent, for maximising encounters with persons and habitats....This form has a group of well-known features: it is likely to be oral, local, context dependent and specific, tacit, multi-layered and contradictory across but not within contexts" (Bernstein 2000: 157). A vertical discourse on the other hand "takes the form of a coherent, explicit and systematically principled structure, hierarchically organised as in the sciences, or it takes the form of a series of specialised languages with specialised modes of interrogation and specialised criteria for the production and circulation of texts as in the social sciences and humanities" (Bernstein 2000: 157).In addition two forms of vertical discourse are distinguished -hierarchical knowledge structures vs horizontal ones. A hierarchical knowledge structure is "a coherent, explicit and systematically principled structure, hierarchically organised" which "attempts to create very general propositions and theories, which integrate knowledge at lower levels, and in this way shows underlying uniformities across an expanding range of apparently different phenomena" (Bernstein 1999: 161-162) -e.g., physics, chemistry or biology. A horizontal knowledge structure on the other hand is defined as "a series of specialised languages with specialised modes of interrogation and criteria for the construction and circulation of texts" (Bernstein 1999: 162) -e.g., linguistic theories which position themselves as functional, arguably West Coast Functionalism, Lexical Functional Grammar, Functional Grammar, Discourse Functional Grammar, Role and Reference Grammar or Systemic Functional Linguistics. Bernstein uses a triangle to symbolise hierarchical knowledge structures, since they attempt to create ever more general propositions which account for an expanding range of phenomena (e.g., Newtonian physics, superseded by Einstein's relativity, superseded by string theory and so on). Horizontal knowledge structures on the other hand are visualised by succession of 'Ls' since what counts as development is the introduction of a new perspective, typically by junior speakers who challenge the power and legitimacy of more senior ones (e.g., marxist history, feminist history, post-colonial history and so on). A synoptic overview of these distinctions is offered in Figure 1.Figure 1: Discourse and knowledge structure (after Bernstein 1999Bernstein , 2000) ) As exemplified above, in Bernstein's terms SFL is a canonical member of a horizontal knowledge structure comprising many different theories. Bateman's vision for Multimodal Studies is perhaps a more ambitious one, leaning towards the design and evolution of a hierarchical knowledge structure. This is a trajectory that linguistic theories have embraced, without success, since the modern discipline was founded by Saussure (1916). Wignell (2007a, b) examines the history of social science, focusing on the emergence of economics, political economy and sociology as "a hybrid of the language of the physical sciences and the language of the humanities" (Wignell 2007a: 202) -suggesting that the stronger the boundaries around one of these disciplines, the more it will evolve the characteristics of a hierarchical knowledge structure. In his 2004 conference presentation of Wignell (2007a) he in fact refers to social science knowledge structures as 'warring triangles', since they in general aspire to be recognised as hierarchical knowledge structures (viz linguists' claims for their discipline as the 'science of language'). What happens in practice however is that one or another linguistic theory gains institutional rather than intellectual control of the discipline, for a specific period of time, in a specific place (e.g., Chomskyan linguistics' supremacist control of American linguistics and its intellectual dominions in the 1960s, waning not long thereafter). Seen in these terms, Bateman's vision involves strengthening boundaries around what counts as empirical Multimodal Studies, thereby fostering its development as a hierarchical knowledge structure -occluding more 'weakly bounded' competing triangles as it does so and enjoying globalised longevity. Bernstein (2000: 132-134) probes more deeply into the characteristics of hierarchical and horizontal knowledge structures in his recognition of internal and external languages of description (which he labels L 1 and L 2 respectively). L 1 "refers to the syntax whereby a conceptual language is created" or how constituent concepts of a theory are interrelated; and L 2 "refers to the syntax whereby the internal language can describe something other than itself " (2000: or how a concepts are to structures with a internal 1 ) have concepts that are interrelated; in hierarchical knowledge structures this the of a external 2 ) whereby concepts are to in these focusing on how knowledge structures the term to on how internal ever more general propositions for a range of or the addition of new languages of description he the term L 1 L 2 L L to on how knowledge structures about a set of or via of a set of that are to of these is as Figure including a of canonical knowledge structures a knowledge structure Seen in these terms Bateman's ambitions for Multimodal Studies strengthening internal and external of description so that the field can via what refers to as on As as as is Bateman draws to Maton & discussion and of languages of description and external ones and L 2 respectively). languages are to be more general and specific than external In for example, languages what are referred to as and general such as or as such as or These a linguist the description of the of a language with into a more specific description of the to What as L 1 , L and L 2 is itself a over time, as L and are to L 1 or L 1 concepts are to L language (or perhaps to L 2 external more on this we the evolution of SFS from SFL itself a of different languages of as in the and & et al. we will the model by Martin and his colleagues and his colleagues , and his colleagues , which is the one that has most Bateman (e.g., (e.g., , (e.g., , Saussure it language as a of (e.g., it takes the of and as it this over structure (e.g., This language in external which in of in structure. internal has to the of of of and of has the as in in to the of the the or meaning and of or structure and the of and discourse A synoptic overview of these Martin is in Figure an to both and are with and for 2 an perspective, for some languages is need to distinguish and is structure of more than one make for this at the of the in Figure this I will which on the form vs As in Martin et al. the of SFL at Saussure and in language as form not This that is not as a of language in its own it is a region in Bernstein's terms with such as recognition or on and deploying a set of internal and external very different to by linguistics in This is not to the of and to one another students are in but to the very different knowledge structures in the description of form as to structure and As as the description of is SFL does not its description to what called or of of or In to SFL is by of and (e.g., distinction between and in can be to this the perspective of make a distinction between and of group can be by the same a distinction can be by the in the relevant is or are are not very Accordingly the same is different structures, as in and SFL in other are not a of they structures on of in to the at This for example in to an SFS description of that an information can be set by the structure without making the that in fact this are extended from Kress & van in Figure of the is it is an the is selected, the and are in the by to the and to the This claims about it ones as a structure by a in that this is perhaps a reading of Kress Leeuwen's account of information structure in but is that SFS need not foul of their This to the of need to be set to the for structures in a given for example to and to ones.

We conclude by arguing that cognitive +load represents a key factor for the analysis of linguistic and philosophical theories of +context. +Keywords: presuppositions, conditional clauses, update semantics, context change potential, cognitive load +PRESUPPOSITIONS, CONTEXT SET, AND COMPOSITIONALITY +According to the standard semantic framework, the common ground is the set of propositions that +participants in a conversation mutually assume to be taken for granted (Stalnaker, 2002). In this +view, the common ground determines the context set, that is, the set of possible worlds in which all +the propositions that form the common ground are true (Heim, 1983, 1992). +According to this standpoint, the meaning of a sentence is modeled via its context change +potential (CCP): an instruction to update the context with new information with the effect of +producing a new updated context as result. For instance, if the context c corresponds to the set +of possible worlds in which “I have a sister,” “Konstanz is in Europe,” and “Today is Monday” and, +in this context, a speaker utters the sentence “I’ve bought a new car” (φ), then the assertion of this +sentence in the context c (i.e., c+φ) produces, as a result, a context c’ that corresponds to the set of +possible worlds in which “I have a sister,” “Konstanz is in Europe,” “Today is Monday,” and “I’ve +bought a new car.” +From this perspective, presuppositions put requirements on the context: if ψ is a presupposition +of φ, then c + φ is defined only if c ⊆ψ. For example, the sentence “My car is red” can only +be uttered in contexts that entail the presupposition “I have a (unique) car.” A sentence’s CCP, +therefore, is the extent to which the sentence changes the context in which it is uttered to produce a +new context, assuming that the new context accepts as true not only the sentence itself but also the +presupposition of the uttered sentence. In general, CCP may be defined as a partial function from + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +contexts to contexts: a sentence φ can only be uttered in a given +class of contexts and brings about a new class of contexts as +result1. +In order to provide an explanation of how the context changes +in the course of a conversation, different dynamic semantic +theories have proposed formal representations of language +structure aimed at modeling the growth of information in +the processing and development of a discourse. Overall, this +aims to provide a solution to the traditional problem of the +compositionality of meaning, that is, an explanation of how the +meaning of compound sentences depends systematically on the +meaning of their constituents and on the logical operators in use +(e.g., negation ¬φ, conjunctions φ ∧ϕ, disjunctions φ ∨ϕ, and +conditionals φ →ϕ). +In this respect, for many years, linguists and philosophers +have been interested in the so-called “presupposition projection +problem” (Heim, 1983, 1992; Geurts, 1999; Beaver, 2001; +Schlenker, 2008, 2009; Singh, 2008; Kripke, 2009), that is, +the problem of the compositionality of presuppositions, how +complex sentences inherit their parts’ presuppositions. This +paper deals in particular with one of the most-discussed topics +in this field of research: the Proviso Problem, the problem +of the projection properties of conditional sentences with a +presupposition trigger in the consequent. +THE PROVISO PROBLEM +The Problem concerns the projection properties of a specific +case of composed clauses, conditional sentences that contain a +presupposition trigger2 in the consequent (CpC); schematically, +if p, qq’ (where q is a presupposition triggered by the assertive +component q’). This core problem, the Proviso Problem (Geurts, +1996), has been widely discussed in recent literature (see for +instance, Beaver, 2001; Singh, 2008; von Fintel, 2008; Schlenker, +2010; Chemla and Schlenker, 2011). The discussion has generated +two different kinds of answers. +On the one hand, several theories—mainly taking Discourse +Representation Theory (DRT) as a framework—claim that +sentences of the type if p, qq’ have mainly unconditional +presuppositions, namely, they simply project q (e.g., Gazdar, +1979; van der Sandt, 1992; Geurts, 1999). It is, in fact, intuitive +that, in several cases, the presupposition projected by a CpC +is unconditional; for instance, it is the case in the following +utterance (quoted in Geurts, 1999). +(1) If John hates sonnets then his wife does so, too. +1To be precise, a sentence is only ever uttered in a particular context, but the same +sentence can be correctly used in all contexts in which its presuppositions are true +(we are grateful to a referee of Frontiers for making this distinction). +2Presupposition triggers are lexical items and syntactic constructions that, if used +in an utterance, activate a presupposition. In contemporary debate, there are +two major approaches to the problem of triggering presuppositions. In semantic +approaches, it is claimed that presuppositions are a particular type of meaning +determined by the lexicon (Chierchia and McConnell-Ginet, 2000; Simons, 2001). +Other scholars (Karttunen, 1974; Simons, 2001; Abusch, 2010; Schlenker, 2010) +have supported a pragmatic view, according to which presuppositions are the result +of speakers’ inferences, as well as conversational implicatures (Abusch, 2002, 2010). +On more specific relations between presuppositions and scalar implicatures see +Pistoia Reda (2014). +(1a). John has a wife +(1) projects the unconditional presupposition, (1a). These +theories do not exclude the possibility of deriving a conditional +entailments, of the form if p, q, but they claim that the +unconditional presupposition is the default reading, since it is +the result of the universal preferencing of global over local +accommodation. This is because, while the unconditional reading +is derived as a presupposition, the conditional reading is inferred +as an entailment. In other words, a sentence of the form if p, +qq’ can be represented in at least two ways in terms of discourse +structure. +- In the first reading, the presupposition q is globally resolved, +that is, it is not represented in the utterance structure but in the +global discourse structure, and the result is q and if p, then q’ +which captures the unconditional presupposition q. +- In the second reading, q is locally represented and the result is +If p, then q and q’, which entails the conditional sentence if p, +then q3. +In the latter view, the local resolution of the presupposition is +supposed to be possible only in contexts where it is supported by +a “bridging inference” of the form if p then it’s usual that q based +on world knowledge (Geurts, 1999; Piwek and Krahmer, 2000). +For example, the local resolution that leads to the conditional +entailment (2a) in the case of the sentence (2) is allowed by the +bridging inference, “If Mark is a Professor, then it’s usual that he +has students.” +(2) If Mark is a Professor, then his students love him. +(2a). If Mark is a Professor, then he has students. +On the other hand, competing theories, traditionally known +as “satisfaction theories,” whose subscribers are often also +supporters of dynamics semantics4, predict that CpC always +project conditional presuppositions of the form if p, q and derive +the unconditional presupposition in different ways depending on +the versions of the theory (e.g., Heim, 1983; Beaver, 2001; Singh, +2007; van Rooij, 2007; Chemla, 2009). A seminal idea proposed +by Heim (1983) has been developed within the framework of +update semantics: when a context c does not satisfy or does not +admit an assertion of if p, then qq’, the repair of the context +is driven by the instruction c[if p, then q][if p, then qq’]. For +example, informally, to update the context c with the information +conveyed by (2), it is first necessary to update the context set with +the information (2a). +Let us now consider the following examples (quoted in Pérez- +Carballo, 2009). +(3) If Paul is not tired, then he will read his Bible tonight. +(3a). If Paul is not tired, then he has a Bible. +3See van der Sandt (1992) for the seminal idea of the resolution of presuppositions +in DRT. +4Recently, Schlenker (2008; 2009) has proposed a more static approach that makes +the same predictions as dynamic semantics with regards to the Proviso Problem. +Schlenker (2008), for instance, proposes an account of presupposition projection +within a classic semantic framework enriched with two pragmatic principles +grounded on the Gricean maxim of manner: “Be articulated” and “Be brief.” +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +2 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +(3b). Paul has a Bible. +(4) If Paul is a devout Catholic, then he will read his Bible +tonight. +(4a). If Paul is a devout Catholic, then he has a Bible. +(4b). Paul has a Bible. +As pointed out by Pérez-Carballo (2009), intuitively, (3) +seems to project the unconditional presupposition (3b), while +(4) seems to project the conditional presupposition (4a). A +possible explanation for that diversity is that, since “the only +difference between the two examples is the antecedent clause, +the antecedent clause must play an important role in the present +phenomenon” (Romoli et al., 2011; p. 593). In particular, the +dependence of the antecedent on the presupposition of the +consequent seems to play a crucial role in the Proviso Problem5. +This dependence seems specifically to affect the selection +of conditional and unconditional presuppositions, which is +traditionally identified by Singh (2007, 2008) and Schlenker +(2011, p. 2) as the “Selection Problem.” This problem needs to +be distinguished from the “Strengthening Problem,” that is, the +question of which mechanisms generate these presuppositions. +In what follows, we focus on the Selection Problem, +with a view to grasping whether and when conditional and +unconditional presuppositions are selected depending on the +relation between the antecedent and the consequent of CpC, +specifically, depending on the bridging relation between the +presupposition of the consequent and the antecedent of the +conditional. In the last decade, the presupposition projection +problem has been the subject of several experimental studies +but, to our knowledge, no work has been directly aimed at +evaluating the relationship between presupposition projection +and working memory. Our central goal, besides the confirmation +or disconfirmation of previous experimental results, is to study +the cognitive load factor in relation to the presupposition +selection in CpC. The importance of this aspect in the +experimental investigations of ordinary language is due to the +widely accepted idea that the greater the extent to which people are +cognitively loaded, the greater their difficulty in processing certain +information. Work on the relationship between cognitive load +and conditional reasoning or processing conditional sentences +has already produced interesting results, such as Toms et al. +(1993), Markovits et al. (2002), Meiser et al. (2001), Capon et al. +(2003). Our experiment uses this basic idea, generating different +levels of cognitive load to assess whether this affects the subject’s +understanding or grasping of a conditional or unconditional +presupposition in CpC. We might say, therefore, that the +general question at stake here concerns the compositionality +of presuppositions: what factors affect the selection of either a +composed or a simple presupposition? +AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY +The aim of this experimental study is to test three hypotheses +about presupposition selection in CpC. The first two hypotheses +5The idea that this kind of probabilistic reasoning is relevant to the Proviso +Problem is discussed in Beaver (2001); Lassiter (2012), Schlenker (2011), and von +Fintel (2008). +have been already investigated by Romoli et al. (2011), although, +here, we propose a different experimental design, which is also +required to test the third hypotheses. +(i) The conditional presupposition if p, q is selected more +frequently than the unconditional presupposition q. +(ii) The conditional presupposition If p, q is more likely to arise +when the presupposition q in the consequent is dependent +on the antecedent p. +(iii) Speakers’ cognitive load affects the selection of the +presupposition (conditional or unconditional). +Our experiment has been designed to measure the frequency +of selection of conditional and unconditional presuppositions. +The preponderance of either conditional or unconditional +presuppositions, however, does not directly constitute something +that can decide between the two approaches: DRT vs. satisfaction +theories. In fact, the two approaches each predict that both +conditional and unconditional presuppositions can arise and +neither concerns itself directly with predicting the frequency +of each kind of presuppositions. For one approach, the default +reading is the conditional presupposition, for the other, the +unconditional. The main purpose of this paper, therefore, is +to take a first step toward a better understanding of the main +factors that affect the frequency of conditional vs. unconditional +presuppositions. +In the experiment, participants were required to perform two +tasks simultaneously. The main task consisted of listening to a +short recording, containing sentences of the type if p, qq’ and, +after that, choosing one sentence that best fits with the recording, +from a list of four alternatives. The second task, included in Trials +1 and 3 of the experiment, was to remember two geometrical +Figures during the first part of the main task (listening to the +recordings). Trials 1 and 3 included the Interference condition, +while Trials 2 and 4 included the Simple condition, without +interference in the main task. +Pre-experiment +Two kinds of target items (sentences of the form p, qq’) were +needed for the experiment: Dependent items, in which the +presupposition q in the consequent was strongly related to the +antecedent content p, and Independent items, in which there was +no dependence between p and q. In order to select appropriate +items, a questionnaire was created (completed by pencil and +paper) similar to the one used by Romoli et al. (2011). +The participants in the pre-experiment were 23 students +(15 women, 8 men) from the University of Genoa. They were +recruited for course credit. Their ages ranged between 21 and 32 +(M = 23.95; SD = 3.27). All participants were native Italian +speakers. Informed consent was obtained. +In the questionnaire, sentences, each followed by a question, +were presented to participants; for instance, “Lucy has a dog. +Does that make it more likely that she has a leash?” The task was +to give an assessment on a 5-point Likert scale, from 1 (much less +likely) to 5 (much more likely). The questionnaire included 39 +items. The five items—four tests, plus one instruction trial—with +the highest score were chosen as target Dependent items, while +the five items with the scores closest to the neutral 2.5 point were +chosen as target Independent items. +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +3 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +Participants in the Main Experiment +Participants in the main experiment were 30 students (14 women, +16 men) from the University of Genoa. None had previously +taken part in the pre-experiment. They were recruited for course +credit. Their ages ranged between 20 and 31 (M = 25.8; SD = +2.94). All participants were native speakers of Italian. Informed +consent was obtained. +Stimuli +We created 5 recordings concerning fictional crimes6. Every +sentence of each recording was read by different female and +male voices. We used a whodunit subject in order to encourage +participants to be more attentive to details, as if they were +detectives7. The sentences that constituted the stories were in fact +seemingly unrelated and participants had to interpret them as +clues to be collected and interpreted, as if they were detectives. +Each recording comprised between 51 and 66 words (an average +of 58). Three conditional sentences, with balanced order, were +included in each recording: (i) a Dependent target conditional +sentence, (ii) an Independent target conditional sentence, (iii) +a distractor conditional sentence. Dependent and Independent +target sentences were selected on the basis of the results obtained +in the pre-experiment. All the target conditional sentences +activated a presupposition in the consequent via the presence of a +definite description. For instance, the Recording 1 ran as follows. +The thief came into the house during the night. Luke’s father is +the owner of the house. If Luke is a writer, then his book is sold +at the bookshop [Dependent target]. Mud stains were found on +the carpet in the living room. If the thief came into the house +passing through the garden, then he should have left footprints +[distractor]. If Luke is tall, then he will tell one of his jokes to the +cops [Independent target]. +Two sets of four sentences were connected to each recording, a +Dependent set and an Independent one. In each set, there were +included: +- a sentence [C] corresponding to the conditional presupposition +of the target sentence (Dependent or Independent); +- a +sentence +[U] +corresponding +to +the +unconditional +presupposition +of +the +target +sentence +(Dependent +or +Independent); +- a conditional filler sentence reporting wrong or unmentioned +information about general content of the recording [Fc]; +- a +unconditional +filler +sentence +reporting +wrong +or +unmentioned information about general content of the +recording [Fu]. +6The experiment was run in Italian. The original items have been included in the +Appendix in Supplementary Material. +7The texts of the recordings and some statements presented incongruous +information mainly because the independent conditionals (see below) expressed +a link between disconnected, independent contents. In order to make these +incongruities plausible to the participants, we required them to act as if they were +detectives, namely, by considering the information presented in the recordings as +disconnected and incoherent clues provided by witnesses. The post-experimental +interview revealed no particular difficulties, on the part of the participants, with +these incongruities. +For example, the Dependent set of sentences related to Recording +1, printed above, was: +- [C] If Luke is a writer, then he has written a book. +- [U] Luke has written a book. +- [Fc] If the house is beautiful, then the thief came into the house +singing. +- [Fu] The thief came into the house singing. +The Independent set included the following four sentences: +- [C] If Luke is tall, then he knows some jokes. +- [U] Luke knows some jokes. +- [Fc] If the thief wore slippers, then he had mud on his pants. +- [Fu] The thief wore slippers. +Sixteen polygons were created (Figure 1) by combining four +shapes—triangle, square, hexagon, circle—with four colors—red, +green, yellow, blue. These figures were used to load participants’ +working memory during the execution of the first part of the +main task, namely, listening to recordings. +Procedures +The study was conducted in a laboratory setting. Instructions, +stimuli, response recording, and data collection were controlled +by a laptop computer running E-Prime R⃝1.1. Participants sat +approximately 50 cm from the display, in a separate room. The +lighting in the room was normal. Only a keyboard (no mouse) +was available for responses. +The experiment included four trials for each participant. Only +Trials 1 and 3 included the second task about geometrical figures. +Trials 1 and 3 represented therefore the Interference condition, +while Trials 2 and 4 represented the Simple condition, without +interference. +The Interference condition trials consisted of the following +phases (Figure 2A). +1. Two geometrical figures were shown on the screen for 6 s. +2. Participants listened to an audio recording. This phase lasted +29 s. +FIGURE 1 | The sixteen polygons used as stimuli to load participants’ +working memory. +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +4 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +3. Participants were required to indicate which polygons they +had observed during Phase 1. This step was repeated twice: +on the first screen, they indicated the first polygon seen at the +beginning of the task (e.g., blue triangle); the same screen was +then presented for a second time in order to let them indicate +the second polygon (e.g., yellow hexagon). +4. The Dependent set was shown to participants. The task was +to choose one of the four sentences regarding the recordings, +following their intuition. No time limit was introduced but +participants were required to select the sentence as quickly as +possible. +5. Phase 4 was repeated by showing the Independent set. +In the Simple condition, the trials (Figure 2B) included only +Phases 2, 4, and 5. +By way of instruction, the task was explained to participants +by using a sample trial. The trials’ order did not change +during the experiment, while the presentation order of the +Dependent and Independent sets and the presentation order of +the four sentences within each set were randomized for every +participant. +The figures used to load participants’ working memory were +chosen randomly but kept fixed for each trial (e.g., Recording +1 was always presented with a green triangle and a red +hexagon). This was in order to show participants equally difficult +combinations of figures. +Expectations +Our expectations were as follows. +(1) For Romoli et al. (2011), participants were led to select +more conditional presuppositions if p, q, then unconditional +ones, both in case of Dependent target sentences and of +Independent target sentences. In particular, this pattern was +expected for the Simple condition, since it was similar to +Romoli et al.’s design, which did not include any interference +task. +(2) For Romoli et al., the conditional presupposition If p, q +is more likely to arise when the presupposition q in the +consequent is dependent on the antecedent p. Since we used +a within-subject design instead of the between-subject design +adopted by Romoli et al. we aimed to analyze the effect +of the dependence for the very same participant on the +selection of the presupposition, in order to provide a further +confirmation of the dependence hypothesis. +(3) We +expected +the +cognitive +load +factor +might +affect +participants’ behavior in the selection of the conditional +presuppositions if +p, q in both the Simple and the +Interference conditions. More precisely, since the processing +of conditional sentences seems to depend more on the +resources available in the working memory than the +processing of unconditional (Toms et al., 1993), it is +reasonable to assume that processing and representing +FIGURE 2 | Screenshots of each phase in Interference condition (A) and Simple condition (B) trials. +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +5 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +a +conditional +presupposition +is +likely +to +be +more +cognitively demanding than doing the same for an +unconditional +presupposition. +Hence +our +expectation +was that participants would more frequently select an +unconditional presupposition [U] instead of a conditional +one [C] in an interference condition, where they have +limited resources available for processing the conditional +presupposition. +Results +The data from two participants were excluded from the analysis +because of an interruption in task performance. Considering the +second task, with regards to memorizing geometrical figures, the +mean of correct answer was 0.88 (SD = 0.32). Every participant +reached at least 50% of correct answer and thus none of them +were excluded from the analysis. +The general results are reported in Table 1 and graphically +summarized in Figure 3. Considering Expectation 1 above, +we analyzed the percentage of conditional presupposition +selection [C] with respect to the percentage of unconditional +presupposition selection [U] in both conditions. The results were: +• Result 1A: The percentage of conditional presuppositions [C] +was significantly higher than unconditional presupposition +[U], using results for Dependent set plus Independent set in +the Simple condition (Wilcoxon Signed Rank: W = 29.5, +p < 0.001). +• Result 1B: The comparison between [C] and [U], using results +for Dependent set plus Independent set, did not result in a +statistical difference under the Interference condition. +The data seems to be in line with Expectation 1 and those +produced under the Simple condition were consistent with +Romoli et al.’s results. +Considering expectation (2), data collected seemed to +show that: +TABLE 1 | The general results of the experiment under the two conditions +(Interference, Simple) and the two sets of answers (Dependent, +Independent) reported as total frequency of choice. +Dependent set +Independent set +Total +Interference cond. +60 +60 +120 +C +33 +26 +59 +Fc +1 +7 +8 +Fu +1 +6 +7 +U +25 +21 +46 +Simple cond. +60 +60 +120 +C +48 +24 +72 +Fc +1 +4 +5 +Fu +1 +10 +11 +U +10 +22 +32 +Total +120 +120 +240 +Results concern conditional presuppositions [C], conditional fillers; [Fc], unconditional +fillers; [Fu], unconditional presuppositions [U]. +• Result 2A: the percentage of conditional presuppositions [C] +selected in the Dependent set was significantly higher than the +percentage of [C] in the Independent set (Wilcoxon Signed +Rank: W = 6.5, p < 0.001). +• Result 2B: this pattern, in result 2A, did not emerge under the +Interference condition. +Finally, considering Expectation 3, data collected seem to show +that: +• Result 3A: the percentage of [C] selected in the Interference +condition was lower than the same percentage in the Simple +condition with regards to the Dependent set (Wilcoxon Signed +Rank: W = 67, p < 0.05). +• Result 3B: this effect was not observed in the Independent set. +GENERAL DISCUSSION +The general goal of this experiment was to investigate the +Selection Problem in presuppositions projection in conditional +sentences with a presupposition trigger in the consequent. +In particular, our experiment was aimed at evaluating the +dependence hypothesis considered by Romoli et al. (2011) and +the role played by participants’ cognitive load. +Data collected showed two results. +(1) Participants, +in +general, +selected +the +conditional +presuppositions more frequently than the unconditional +presuppositions +in +processing +CpC, +as +reported +in +Result 1A. +This first result is sympathetic to Conclusion (i), proposed by +Romoli et al., according to which conditional presuppositions are +more likely to be selected than unconditional presuppositions. +This conclusion was confirmed by the data we have collected +under the Simple experimental condition8. Therefore, Result 1A +seems to support the central thesis of satisfaction theories that all +CpCs project mainly conditional presuppositions of the form if +p, q. +(2) Participants +selected +the +conditional +presuppositions +more frequently when there was dependence between the +antecedent of the CpC and the presupposition activated by +the trigger in the consequent, as reported in Result 2A. +Reconsidering the Simple condition, Result 2A seems to +be +compatible +both +with +satisfaction +theories +and +with +theories which predict that CpC mainly project unconditional +presuppositions. In fact, the former theories claim that, in cases +of CpC, conditional presuppositions are selected most of the +time, hence the conditional presupposition If p, q is more likely to +arise when the presupposition q in the consequent is dependent +on the antecedent p. According to the latter theories, even if the +unconditional presupposition is the preferred reading in cases of +CpC, when there is dependence between the antecedent of a CpC +8Since Romoli et al.’s design did not include a second task generating interference, +our Simple condition was more suitable than our Interference condition for +comparison with Romoli et al.’s conclusions. +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +6 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +FIGURE 3 | The general results graphically summarized in percentages. +and the presupposition triggered in the consequent, speakers are +supposed to select a conditional presupposition. +Result 2A, therefore, coheres with the idea, proposed by +Romoli et al. (2011), that the conditional presupposition If p, +q is more likely to arise when the presupposition q in the +consequent is dependent on the antecedent p. Moreover, since +we used a within-subject design instead of the between-subject +design adopted by Romoli et al., we did not analyze data +collected from different participants assigned to two different +conditions. Rather, we analyzed the effect of dependence, for +the same participant, on the selection of the presupposition, +where dependence was the only manipulated variable. Hence, +this analysis allows us to support a stronger claim: the +dependence between the antecedent and the presupposition in +the consequent of a CpC has a relevant effect in the selection of +the presupposition. +To sum up, Results 1A and 2A support the idea that sentences +of the form If p, qq’ mainly project conditional presupposition as +If p, q and even more so if there is dependence between p and q9. +The second purpose of our experiment was to explore the +effect of participants’ cognitive load. To this end, data collected +seem to suggest that: +(3) the same participant, if highly cognitively loaded, selected +conditional presuppositions less frequently then in the +case of low cognitive load, as occurred under our Simple +condition (see Result 3A). +9As said before, all the target sentences used in our experiment have been divided +into dependent and independent conditionals thanks to the results of the norming +pre-experiment. As pointed out by Romoli et al. further research might address +the question about what notion of dependence has been used by participants while +answering the questionnaire. +Our statistical analysis seems to show that, in the Dependent +set, where participants were supposed to project conditional +presuppositions (as shown by Result 2A), the very same +participant, if highly cognitively loaded, might project an +unconditional +presupposition +instead +of +the +conditional +presupposition that she probably would have projected if she +had had more cognitive resources available. Considering the +percentages of conditional and unconditional presuppositions +selected within the set of dependent targets, data collected +suggest that, under the Interference condition, the percentage +of +conditional +presuppositions +projected +decreases, +while +the +percentage +of +unconditional +presuppositions +increases. +Result 3A allows us to claim that, to a certain extent, +together with the dependence between the antecedent and +the presupposition in the consequent, speakers’ cognitive +load is a relevant factor that affects the selection of the +presupposition in CpC. One explanation for this result might +be that highly cognitive loaded speakers are less disposed +to select a conditional presupposition since processing the +mental representation corresponding to a composed sentence, +and, in particular, to a conditional sentence, requires more +cognitive effort than is the case for a simple (i.e., unconditional) +sentence. Toms et al. (1993), for example, have argued that +mistakes in conditional reasoning are related to working +memory. In particular, conditional reasoning seems to require +a surplus in working memory that, in turn, requires support +from the central executive. In conditional representations, +the higher the number of models required, the higher the +cognitive effort involved (Barrouillet and Lecas, 1999; Johnson- +Laird, 2001). Hence, the limited available resources under +the Interference condition might have affected the selection +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +7 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +by changing a conditional answer [C] in an unconditional +answer [U]10. +Some final considerations concern the set of independent +targets in our experiment. First of all, we have shown in +Result 2A that independent conditional presuppositions have +been selected significantly less frequently than dependent +conditional presuppositions under the Simple condition. Thus, +the percentage of independent conditional presuppositions +under the Simple condition was close to the percentage of +unconditional presuppositions. This result might be explained by +assuming that. in the Independent set, since there was no sort of +bridging inference connecting the content of the antecedent and +the content of the consequent of the conditional presupposition +of the CpC, participants have treated independent conditional +presuppositions in the same way, as if they were independent +unconditional presuppositions. In this case, in other words, +the conditional presuppositions have been evaluated as equally +available by the participants so that, in terms of percentage, they +have been equally selected in the course of the experiment. +Secondly, a comparison of Results 2A and 2B shows that +the percentage of conditional presuppositions selected in the +Dependent set decreases from the Simple condition to the +Interference condition, while the percentage of conditional +presuppositions selected in the independent set does not change +significantly from the Simple condition to the Interference +condition. These data seem to support the idea that, while the +cognitive load factor affects the selection of the presuppositions +in the Dependent set, it does not seem to have an effect on +the selection in the Independent set. The data, therefore, +suggest that the cognitive load factor affects the selection of +the presupposition of a CpC only when there is a dependence +between the antecedent of the conditional and the content of +presupposition triggered in the consequent: if the dependence +holds, and the speaker is highly cognitively loaded, then she +seems to be less disposed to select a conditional presupposition. +This effect of the cognitive load factor on the presupposition +selection in a dependent CpC might be explained by the bridging +inference that supports the dependence. The reason may be +that, under the Interference condition, participants had few +cognitive resources for performing the main task, given that +part of their cognitive resources were used in the second +task (i.e., memorizing geometrical figures). Since processing the +dependent conditional implied computing the bridging inference +(e.g., computing that “If Paul is a devout Catholic, then he will +read his Bible tonight” implies computing the bridging inference +“If someone is a devout Catholic, then he or she usually has a +10One relevant point concerns the reasons why the conditional presupposition +is more costly than the unconditional and whether Result 3A says something +about the satisfaction vs. DRT-like theories. However, data collected do not seem +to be strong enough for making previsions concerning the possible mechanisms +underlying the processing of conditional and unconditional presuppositions that +might be conjoined with different theories of presuppositions. Rather, data +collected by this experimental design allows the recognition simply of the cognitive +amount of selecting presuppositions in CpC: selecting conditional presuppositions +seems to be more cognitively demanding than selecting unconditional ones. +Further experimental studies should be conducted to investigate the link between +processing conditional and unconditional presuppositions in CpC and the +mechanisms employed in the competing theories. +Bible”), the interference of the second task under the Interference +condition affected the selection of the dependent conditional +presuppositions. The reason seems to be that the remaining +resources for performing the main task were not sufficient for +computing both the content of the conditional presuppositions +and the bridging inferences, with participants consequently +selecting less dependent conditional presuppositions under the +Interference condition than in the Simple condition. Conversely, +processing independent conditionals does not require computing +any bridging inference; hence, under the Interference condition, +the remaining resources for performing the main task were +sufficient for selecting the conditional presuppositions, meaning +that, under the Interference condition, participants selected +independent conditional presuppositions as often as under the +Simple. +To conclude, data collected support the idea that two relevant +factors affecting presupposition selection in the Proviso Problem +are (i) dependence between the antecedent of a CpC and the +presupposition triggered in the consequent and (ii) speakers’ +cognitive load. +While presuppositions have, for a long time, been rather +unexplored as a topic in the field of experimental pragmatics, in +the last years, a new wave of studies (Schwarz, 2014; Domaneschi, +2015) have suggested that, while presuppositions are typically +considered background meanings, expected to be processed +automatically, the actual processing seems to involve a large +chunk of the cognitive resources available to the language +users, which affects the understanding of different kinds of +presuppositions. +It was expected that different factors would affect the +cognitive demand of processing a presupposition. This paper +has attempted to show that compositionality (i.e., conditional vs. +unconditional presuppositions) is one of these crucial factors. +SOME FINAL REMARKS CONCERNING +THE COGNITIVE LOAD FACTOR +Cognitive context, the set of presuppositions assumed to +be taken for granted by the participants in a conversation, +has been widely discussed since the debate on informative +presupposition (Gauker, 1998, 2008; Stalnaker, 1998, 2002; von +Fintel, 2008) and the distinction between passive and active (or +local) context (Kripke, 2009; Schlenker, 2009, 2011). On this +background, the notion of cognitive context (and of contextual +felicity) is still a working theoretical notion at the boundary +between semantics and pragmatics and is useful for treating +the pragmatic phenomenon of accommodation (von Fintel, +2008; Tonhauser et al., 2013). However, while the relevance of +different cognitive loads on processing conditionals is a usual +topic in psychological discussion, linguistic and philosophical +theories of presuppositions have usually bypassed the problem. +However, doing so runs the risk of treating the concept of +cognitive context (perhaps including the distinction between +passive and active context discussed by Kripke, 2009) without +considering that which context is shared—which presuppositions +are activated—may depend on the kind of cognitive effort +Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org +8 +January 2016 | Volume 6 | Article 2026 + +Domaneschi et al. +Selecting Presuppositions +required in a conversation. Without taking into account the +impact of the cognitive effort behind selecting certain linguistic +content in a context (e.g., presuppositions), we might overlook +or misunderstand some experiments’ results and, consequently, +be unable to select the right competing theory. +One of the problems with theories of communication based +on classical linguistic and philosophical theories is that they +sometimes depend on hypotheses concerning how hearers +should react or what they should understand to have been +discussed without taking into account different possible scenarios +arising from hearers’ different cognitive loads. In a previous +work (Domaneschi et al., 2014), we have discussed the role +of cognitive effort in detecting presuppositions, showing that +some presuppositions (mainly Iteratives and Change of State +Verbs, which deal with temporal features) are more difficult to +process when a hearer is highly cognitively loaded. The present +study, plus Domaneschi et al. (2014) give some provisional +methodological suggestions concerning the impact of the role +of cognitive load in assessing the plausibility of linguistic and +philosophical models: (i) the analysis of the cognitive load factor +might reveal that, even if a certain semantic reading of a sentence +appears to be like the default, that is, the one determined by +the meaning of the clause, language users can opt for a less +probable reading that is nevertheless more compatible with their +available cognitive resources. Missing this point may affect how +the different hypotheses under examination are assessed. (ii) +The cognitive context (the set of presuppositions) might change +depending not only on the logic of the discourse structure but +also on the speakers’ cognitive state, namely, the level of cognitive +load of participants in the conversation, which affects what +kind of presuppositions are selected and, consequently, how the +context changes in the course of a conversational exchange. These +considerations we propose as hints for future research that might +reveal further unexpected results. +FUNDING +The research was partly funded by a Ministero dell’Istruzione, +dell’Università +e +della +Ricerca +(MIUR) +research +project +20107738C5_008 coordinated by Michele Marsonet and by +the Research Project PRA 2012 Presupposition and Cognitive +processes coordinated by CP. +ACKNOWLEDGMENTS +We would like to thank the referees for their valuable suggestions +and discussion on specific points of the paper. +SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL +The Supplementary Material for this article can be found +online +at: +http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg. +2015.02026 +REFERENCES +Abusch, D.

The wider context is the crisis of representative politics, which is in turn transforming the nature of mobilisation, contestation and politics more generally. In place of traditional organisational structures, we are seeing the emergence of cloud, swarm and connective initiatives with characteristics that challenge and supplant traditional organisational politics. We are seeing the emergence of a politics that is resistant to ‘politicians’ of whatever ideology, seeking to recuperate power and agency from representatives. This creates an interesting tension at the heart of democracy: whether and to what extent democracy needs to ‘reboot’ or whether new political parties and movements can ally the connective to representational styles of politics to provide a way in which democracy can evolve.Este artículo examina la ola de protestas y manifestaciones, preguntándonos si, como muchos sugieren, lo que estamos presenciando es el surgimiento de un nuevo movimiento contra la austeridad y a favor de la democracia.

(2020). Front. Psychol. 11:1399. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01399 +Due to an error in the typesetting process, in the last paragraph of the Introduction, the term +“epoché” was erroneously replaced by the term “what it is like.” A correction has therefore been +made to the Introduction section, paragraph four: +“This article will address the “What,” “Why,” and “How” of phenomenological interviews, +reviewing recent empirical research in the field of phenomenological psychopathology and +psychotherapy. Important to note is that qualitative research, as described above, refers to +empirical research, not to basic or theoretical investigations. Phenomenological qualitative research +in psychology has been developed using Husserlian concepts such as the “epoché” and the +“phenomenological reduction,” and precisely on the use of such conceptualizations is where most +of the current discussion has been placed. The article, therefore, will not attempt to provide a +broad understanding of the phenomenological tradition. Instead, it will focus on a more specific +discussion of methodological issues concerning the empirical application of phenomenology in +qualitative research in psychiatry and psychology, and Husserl’s methodology in particular. To +do so, we first need to agree that the application of phenomenology to empirical research in +psychiatry and psychology employing interviews is qualitative, not quantitative. In a strict sense, +quantitative methodology based on frequency and scales of severity of the patients’ anomalous +experience, although necessary for the statistical validation of the interviews, goes beyond the +scope of phenomenology. According to the phenomenological approach, mental disorders cannot +be reducible to a cerebral organic basis, nor to numbers, as they are not entities per se but +psychopathological configurations that can be identified in the diagnostic process of interaction +between a clinician and a patient (Fuchs, 2010; Pallagrosi et al., 2014; Pallagrosi and Fonzi, +2018; Gozé et al., 2019). Consequently, phenomenological interviews are designed to address not +objective, but subjective data, namely the what it is like of patients’ anomalous experiences. In this +way, the patients’ descriptions of their subjective experiences are not conceived as “static” entities, +but, rather, as part of dynamically, open-ended developing processes and interpretations (Martiny, +2017). +The publisher apologizes for this mistake.

The study employs a mixed-methods research design that integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Within the scope of this research, a total of 6 faculty members teaching in undergraduate clarinet programs across Türkiye and 35 conservatory students enrolled in these programs were identified. The sample includes the entire accessible population related to the study, thereby ensuring full population coverage. Data were collected through surveys administered to students for the quantitative dimension and semi-structured interviews with faculty members for the qualitative dimension. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions, while qualitative data were examined through content analysis. The findings indicate that although the curriculum is generally effective in achieving its objectives, there are notable differences in its implementation across different universities. In addition, certain shortcomings were identified, particularly regarding the enrichment of curriculum content and the accessibility of teaching materials and instructional resources. In conclusion, the study highlights the need to develop a standardized clarinet curriculum that can be implemented across all conservatories in Türkiye.

It also tries to reflect on +the implementation of new approaches to heritage tourism within a particular national and +regional context (Slovakia, The Banská Bystrica Self-Governing Region), on the basis of initial +ethnographic research. The case demonstrates new ways of marketing and supporting the cul- +tural heritage of the region in the twenty-first century. It is based on an analysis of existing do- +cuments, reports, websites and social media, as well as participant observation and interviews +with representatives of the Development Agency Dobrý kraj and its district organisations.5 + +Concept of cultural heritage +The concept of cultural heritage has been theorised, defined, redefined, negotiated and +renegotiated by a large number of theorists and practitioners from different disciplines as well +as from the newly developed heritage studies or critical heritage studies. From the analysis of +numerous scientific papers it seems that there are as many definitions of the heritage con- +cept as there are heritage researchers. This argument has been supported by the often-quoted +claims of David Lowenthal in his famous book, Heritage as Crusade, that “all at once heritage is +everywhere”6 or “heritage today all but defies definition”.7 Indeed, we live in the era of heritage +revival or heritage revolution—heritage really is everywhere and it is a crucial part of local, +regional or national development and tourism strategies or global tourism visions. +The heritage concept has been constructed, recontructed and updated in a number of new +critical perspectives. In the traditional “Western” understanding, heritage was viewed more +in a physical, material form, which meant that heritage could “be mapped, studied, managed, +preserved and/or conserved,” and its protection might be “the subject of national legislation +and international agreements, conventions and charters”.8 The critical heritage literature does +not look at heritage as a physical “thing” any more, but as a social and cultural construction, +as a dynamic and elastic concept and process, as a continuing dialogue with the past, which +“engages with acts of remembering that work to create ways to understand and engage with +the present”.9 Gregory Ashworth, one of the leading heritage scholars, also supports the idea +3 LOULANSKI, Tolina.

Bitušíková: Cultural heritage as a means of heritage tourism development + +of understanding heritage as a process, and not as a form. He connects heritage with change, +and refuses the idea that heritage—whether it is in a tangible or intangible cultural form—is +primarily about preservation or conservation.10 Heritage is currently identified as “that part of +the past that we select in the present for contemporary purposes, be they economic, cultural, +political or social”.11 +Jacynthe Bessiére also looks at heritage as a process bridging the past, the present and the +future. She stresses that heritage (whether it is an object, a monument, an inherited skill or a +symbolic representation) must be seen as an identity marker and a distinguishing feature of +a social group. She considers heritage as “a reservoir of meanings necessary to understand +the world”—an evolving social production, which is dynamic, constantly under review and +ever-changing.12 She offers a hypothesis that “the dynamics of building up heritage consist +of actualising, adapting, and re-interpreting elements from the past of a given group (its kno- +wledge, skills and values), in other words combining conservation and innovation, stability and +dynamism, reproduction and creation, and consequently giving a new social meaning which +generates identity and unity.“13 +As many heritage scholars stress, heritage is a value-loaded concept. In his study on values +and meanings of heritage, Noel Salazar pointed out that sociocultural values were attached to +heritage “because it holds meaning for people or social groups due to its age, beauty, artistry or +association with a significant person or event” and these values are produced though complex +processes of learning, transmission and awareness building. On the other hand, heritage also +has an increasingly significant economic value, mainly in the global tourism market.14 The gro- +wing trend to “sell” heritage for cultural or heritage tourists has been connected with numerous +practices that sometimes can lead even to the destruction of local heritage. According to Tolina +Loulanski, the controversy in defining heritage might originate in this duality of being both +a cultural and economic subject, possessing both cultural and economic values and having both +cultural and economic functions. She continues that heritage should bridge this gap between +culture and economy by bringing both approaches together and by making theorists and prac- +titioners from both fields talk and collaborate.15 +The nature of heritage relates to present circumstances.16 As heritage is produced in the +present, “our relationship with the past is understood in relation to our present temporal and +spatial experience”.17 Smith argues that “heritage is used to construct, reconstruct and nego- +tiate a range of identities and social and cultural values and meanings.18 Indeed, heritage, its +10 ASHWORTH, Gregory J.

That is +why it is so important to look at heritage from a critical perspective. +The heritage value is not fixed, but is always a product of interaction and interpretation,19 +and often a result of power struggles among various actors. On the one hand there are exter- +nal experts that ascribe certain values, meanings and functions to the heritage, based on some +formal criteria; on the other hand there are local actors who can see the value or meaning of +their heritage differently. This can lead to either multiple heritage narratives or to so called he- +ritage dissonance, a mismatch between official narratives and the heritage perceptions of local +residents.20 The heritage narratives have been increasingly influenced by the economic value of +heritage—a result of the process of commodification of cultural heritage. UNESCO’s World +Heritage List, which has become an accreditation scheme for heritage sites, either serves the +purposes of tourism (as a major source of revenue) or nation building. This trend illustrates +how transnational processes are subject to national and local economic considerations and +political agendas.21 +The national, regional and local development and tourism strategies (based primarily on +political and economic agendas) have been increasingly built on the heritage agenda: how to use +and sell heritage to domestic and international tourists, how to strengthen the positive image +of the country and how to increase revenues. Heritage—in its diverse meanings within diverse +actors and stakeholders—has thus become an object of dissonant narratives when it is inter- +preted in different ways by various actors, or it is interpreted only in one way that serves the +“official” (often national or ideological) narrative based on selected history and heritage or on +manipulating history and heritage. As Graham et al. stated, “the nation-state required national +heritage for a variety of reasons. It supported the consolidation of ... national identification, +while absorbing or neutralising potentially competing heritages of social-cultural groups or +regions”.22 +Heritage tourism +Cultural heritage is currently without any doubt one of the most important resources of +global tourism. At the same time, tourism can be a tool used by local communities to learn and +respect their own heritage. As a result, cultural/ heritage tourism has been among those tou- +rism sectors growing most rapidly in recent decades, being the most notable and widespread.23 +Heritage and tourism scholars use the terms “cultural tourism” and “heritage tourism” someti- +mes as separate, but often as very related and overlapping phenomena. According to Timothy, +cultural tourism is more often used in relation to participation in modern living cultures, con- +temporary arts and music, primarily in urban areas, while heritage tourism is connected more +19 SALAZAR, Shifting Values..., p. 37. +20 SALAZAR, Shifting Values..., p. 37; TUNBRIDGE, John E., ASHWORD, Gregory J.

Bitušíková: Cultural heritage as a means of heritage tourism development + +to rural and place-bound areas and living cultures, older relics and performances. However, +despite some differences, cultural tourism and heritage tourism seem to share more similarities +than differences. Cultural and heritage tourists’ experience is built on enjoying living and built +culture in both rural and urban contexts and on their own personal experiences.24 Timothy +and Boyd25 and Timothy26 therefore suggest that both terms might be used interchangeably. +Following their suggestions, in this paper I mainly use the term “heritage tourism” as it seems +to be more connected to rural cultures and living heritage which I will refer to later in this study. +Heritage tourism is one of the oldest forms of travel. The ancient Egyptians and Romans, +and later the (mainly European) nobility of medieval times used to travel to historic places of +cultural importance.27 The oldest form of tourism was pilgrimage. Early pilgrims from the pe- +riod of the ancient days of the Greek and Roman empires searched for religious and spiritual +experiences.28 In the next period, from the 1600s until the mid-1800s, the Grand Tour was +developed as a significant part of the history of European heritage tourism (covering Italy, +France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands in particular). Young +men of certain higher social strata who were expected to become part of the cultured nobility +were encouraged to travel across Europe with their tutors for months or years, visit all signi- +ficant arts and architecture places (Paris, Rome, Venice, Florence and other historic cities) and +learn foreign languages.29 When looking back at the history of European travels we can see +a long-term continuity in which a heritage tourist of today often follows similar routes and +visits similar European cities, though at a faster pace.30 We could even say the Grand Tour idea +contributed to building cultural capital (in Pierre Bourdieu’s meaning) important for the deve- +lopment of a democratic and united Europe today. +In recent decades, tourism has become a global phenomenon and shows steady increases +in the number of tourists every year. Heritage tourism as a specific sector of global tourism +includes visits to historic sites in urban and rural areas, monuments and dwellings, museums, +rural and agricultural landscapes, locations where important events happened or places of in- +teresting living cultures.31 Heritage tourism has become one of the most studied phenomena +within both heritage studies and tourism studies, and there are at least three important reasons +for this (to mention just a few). +First, heritage tourism serves important political purposes. Actually, it is more political than +most other tourism sectors.32 According to Salazar, on the domestic level, it contributes to +stimulating pride in the “(imagined) national history” or to highlighting “the virtues of particu- +lar ideologies”; and on the supranational level, heritage sites are marketed and sold as “iconic +markers of a local area, country, region or even continent”.33 Timothy and Boyd similarly stress +that heritage tourism is used “to build patriotism at the domestic level and spread propaganda +24 TIMOTHY, Dallen, J.

The Glocalisation of Heritage..., p. 130. +Muzeológia a kultúrne dedičstvo, 1/2021 +85 + +to international visitors”.34 Per Åke Nilsson goes even further, using the term heritagisation, +which he describes as a social process, where cultural heritage is used in order to promote cer- +tain political, often nationalistic ideas. He mentions the recent kidnapping of cultural heritage +by right wing movements with the aim to strengthen their political interests.35 +Second, heritage tourism as a target for domestic and foreign tourists is considered a signifi- +cant source of increasing economic revenue for states, regions and localities. All countries have +been trying to attract tourists on the basis of selling and interpreting their cultural heritage, and +this approach has become then the key of all visions in local, regional or even national deve- +lopment and toursim strategies. The economic aspect (the strategy to attract as many tourists as +possible) has often been a top argument in persuading these new strategies. Indeed, toursim has +become a significant source of economic revenue at all levels; however, it has also had negative +consequences and negative impacts on local social and cultural developments and generally +on the sustainable development of any tourism destination. The term overtourism has been +increasingly used in scholarly literature to describe negative impacts of mass tourism (often +heritage-based) in many world regions. As Dodds and Butler stress, “overtourism is a new term +for an old problem, namely, excessive numbers of tourists at a specific destination that can +result in negative impacts of all types on the community involved”.36 These negative impacts +include worsening of the well-being and life-style of local residents, as well as increasing costs +for water, energy, waste or housing that are often eight to ten times higher from tourism than +those from local consumption.37 +Third, heritage tourism is often seen as an agent of socio-cultural change.38 It can stimu- +late local and regional development, contribute to community empowerment, create business +opportunities and is a source of capacity building for local people. However, this goes hand in +hand with the commodification and over-commercialisation of heritage, and concerns related +to these things. Heritage tourists tend to seek “real”, authentic experiences and places, but with +commodification of heritage, authenticity is increasingly becoming only a marketing tool and +turns into what MacCannell called “staged authenticity” in which locations and local conditions +are “being staged for tourist consumption”.39 Authenticity has been a common and relevant +object of research in many heritage disciplines.40 It has been studied in relation to handicrafts +and “tourist” souvenirs; ethnic or folklore festivals; festivities organised in outdoor heritage +34 TIMOTHY, Dallen J., BOYD, Stephen W.

Research on authenticity remains relevant as studying and learning about +the role of authenticity in visitors’ experiences can have practical implications for tourism ma- +nagement.41 +Tourism itself has been defined and diversified according to various categories (e.g. beach/ +resort tourism, ecotourism, religious tourism, sport tourism, shopping tourism, sex tourism, +adventure tourism, cultural or heritage tourism). Heritage tourism has been further categorised +and as research about it develops, new categories have been identified. In addition to visits to +historic cities, castles, cathedrals, museums, archeological sites and monuments of all kinds +(built heritage), we can see the rise in popularity of newer specific heritage categories, such as +industrial heritage, religious sites and pilgrimage, personal heritage tourism (genealogy, roots +and diasporas), indigenous cultures, heritage routes and trails and dark tourism/ thanatou- +rism—visits to places of death, atrocity or other forms of human suffering.42 +Community tourism or community-based tourism is another category that can be closely re- +lated to heritage tourism. It refers to tourism that “involves community participation and aims +to generate benefits for local communities... by allowing tourists to visit these communities and +learn about their culture and the local environment”.43 Although community tourism is usually +mentioned in relation to developing countries, the concept has been increasingly used in any +other countries where local communities initiate and participate in various activities for tourists. +Heritage tourism in Slovakia +Slovakia as a rather new and unknown country that only gained its independence after +the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993, and has been trying to invent and re-invent its image in +order to sell it to the global tourism market since its establishment. With a population of 5.4 +million, the country is ethnically rather homogeneous (81% Slovaks, almost 9% Hungarians, +2% Roma, with the remainder being made up of Czechs, Ukrainians, Ruthenians/Rusyns, and +others). However, Slovakia’s very diverse geography (from lowlands to high mountains, being +the territory between the Pannonia-Tisza zone and the Carpathian geographic zone) and religi- +ous divisions (being on the European line between Catholicism and the Orthodox and Greek +Orthodox) make the small country an increasingly interesting tourism target. And the particular +key to tourism interest has been its heritage, both natural and cultural. +Slovakia has so far not been very successful in its efforts to attract heritage tourists to all of +its regions. The Bratislava region has been the most successful—mainly due to the fact that it is +geographically close to Vienna and Budapest, and “travel packages” introduced by various tou- +rism agencies usually offer a quick visit to all three Central European capitals. Geographically +further regions of Slovakia have been trying to attract visitors to areas outside the Bratislava +region, using various strategies, often based on heritage narratives. +The key strategic document Strategy for Tourism Development 2020 identifies three main +objectives, with one of them directly linked to marginalised regions: +- to support destinations with a sufficient natural and cultural-historical potential in stagnant +41 TIMOTHY, Dallen J., BOYD, Stephen W.

The region is the largest of eight self-governing regions in Slovakia and has a popu- +lation of 660 thousand people. It is a very heterogeneous region in terms of geography as well +as economic and social structure. Generally it consists of the better-developed mountainous +north, and the more stagnant flat and agrarian south, bordering with Hungary. The long-term +unemployment rate in the region is higher than the country’s average (4.98%) and was at 6.67% +in January 2020, with large district differences within the region ranging from 3% to 15% (the +main reason for the high unemployment rate in several southern districts is the high Roma +minority population). +Several localities of the region were historically connected with mining, glass and metal +industries of global importance and possess outstanding cultural and technical heritage. In +addition, several parts of the region are suitable for the development of rural, nature-based +tourism or agrotourism, offering the tranquillity of the countryside. Despite being one of the +most attractive regions in Slovakia in terms of cultural and natural heritage, its potential has +been vastly underrated and underused, mainly because of its rather weak infrastructure (with- +out a motorway or a nearby airport) and non-effective marketing. It is also important to stress +that the region was paralysed during the governance of the neo-Nazi governor Marian Kotleba +(2013–2017), which means that for a four-year period any European funding for the support of +infrastuctural investments in the Banská Bystrica region was stopped. In addition, development +of tourism was not a priority for the BBSK in this period. +After the 2017 regional elections when Marian Kotleba and his right-wing neo-Nazi party +representatives lost their positions in regional political structures45 (though getting positions in +the national parliament), the new regional governor and his team started to develop new strate- +gies and policies in all sectors, including tourism. One of the first steps was the establishment +of the Development Agency of the Self-Governing Region Banská Bystrica (BBSK) called +Dobrý kraj (The Good Region).46 In addition to strategic planning, education, health care and +social economy, tourism has been identified as one of the priorities. The development of tou- +rism in the region has been presented under a new communication and marketing destination +brand, Za horami, za dolami (Beyond mountains, beyond valleys)—a well-known initial phrase from +Slovak fairy tales meaning “somewhere far, far away”.

Bitušíková: Cultural heritage as a means of heritage tourism development + +sage to slow down, return to one’s roots and experience adventure (words expressed by him +in the nineteenth century) has been the key message in the regional tourism strategy regarding +reasons to visit the Banská Bystrica region. +The official logo of the Dobrý kraj Development Agency +The initial idea of the new branding was followed by important structural changes. In 2018, +seven district tourism organisations47 co-established a “Regional Organisation of the Banska +Bystrica Tourism” (Krajská organizácia cestovného ruchu Banskobystrický kraj Turizmus) as part of the +Development Agency with the aim to support common conditions for the development of +tourism in the Banská Bystrica region. According to the head of the organisation, +the key to cooperation among these seven district organisations is networking through 27 +thematic working groups. Their objective is to define and prepare best tourism products based +on local identity and to connect or involve local people in the organistion of various activities +and services (including accommodation and gastronomy services. This networking and partici- +patory approach aims at creating job opportunities for local people and contributing to regional +development. +The new regional tourism strategy has been built partly on rural tourism and agrotourism, +following one of the objectives of the national strategy on tourism.48 As one of the founders +of the regional tourism organisation noted, “part of the strategy has been inspired by rather +specific tourism visions that use the (supposed) non-attractiveness or low knowledge of the +region based on slogans such as ʽthere is nothing specific hereʼ as the key attraction.” In times +of “overtourism”,49 and excessive tourism marketing (not only officially, but mainly through in- +formal social media), this strategy seems to work in various parts of the world, mainly because +many travellers start to look for places without tourists. The Banská Bystrica region can offer +many such attractions. +The heritage tourism brand of the Banská Bystrica Good Region, Za horami za dolami (Be- +yond mountains, beyond valleys) has so far included eight tourism destinations (2020).50 It follows +a communication strategy built on the storytelling of a heritage bearer—a craftsman, a traditi- +onal farmer, a food producer or a folk costume maker, based on the authenticity of their per- +sonal story. Since 2020, the website has offered the personal stories of twelve “ambassadors” +from concrete tourism destinations of the region, who are representatives of diverse tangible +and intangible traditions: a lace-maker from Špania Dolina, a pottery-maker and back-piper +from the Hron Region, a blacksmith from the Gemer district, and activists from the Čierny +Hron railway and the Banská Štiavnica Calvary, as well as a number of local producers of wine, +47 District organisations—Oblastné organizácie cestovného ruchu (OOCR): OOCR Stredné Slovensko, OOCR +Región Banská Štiavnica, OOCR Dudince, OOCR Horehronie, OOCR Gron, OOCR Turistický Novohrad a Pod- +poľanie and OOCR Gemer. Each of these organisations has two district coordinators. +48 Marketingová stratégia SACR na roky 2014–2020, pp. 23–24. +49 PECHLANER, Harald, INNERHOFEER, Elisa, ERSCHBAMER, Greta. Overtourism.

Beautiful nature +is often undiscovered, traditions and customs unknown. We try to take inspiration from the +countries that know how to use a country’s potential and at the same time protect and enhance +it.“52 +The Development Agency Dobrý kraj and its regional tourism organisation collaborate in- +tensively with international partners. Since 2019 this has also taken place through the project +“Catching-up”, initiated and funded by the European Commission and the World Bank. +The heritage tourism brand Beyond mountains, beyond valleys is focused on so-called experien- +ce tourism (or experiential tourism) which has become very popular in recent years. Tourists, +travellers or visitors increasingly prefer to spend their money on special experiences rather +than on commodities. This kind of tourism is more about personal life-enriching experiences, +learning about new cultural and natural landsacpes, meeting local people, gaining new skills and +even about self-discovery. As the head of the Regional Agency expressed: +Experience is a key word for us. We want to provide special, emotional experiences to vi- +sitors. However, our main target is not profit, but regional development. Most of our tourism +products aim at small groups up to five people, for example cultural-natural and educational +walks in marginalised corners of the region (such as the Tour of the folklore hero – rebel Burda +in the Horehron region or the Tour of wooden barns in the Gron district). +Beyond mountains, beyond valleys tourism products are offered under various categories: Learn +about your region; Discover stories and narratives; Regional products; Experience someting +extraordinary in the region; and Buy an experience. Under these categories a visitor can find nu- +merous opportunities to discover the region. S/he can choose from The Horehron Train Route +(the most successful of all the attractions); The Mining Train Route; The Hron River Myste- +rious Castle Route; The Glass Route; The Iron Route; Exploring Wooden Barns; Discovering +Celtic Settlements; or personal visits to bearers of tradition—a honey-maker, a cheese-maker +51 https://www.zahoramizadolami.sk/#objav-pribehy; accessed on 16 May 2020. +52 https://mybystrica.sme.sk/c/22037184/za-horami-za-dolami-tak-sa-vola-nova-turisticka-znacka.html; accessed + on 15 June 2020. +The official logo of the Beyond Mountains, beyond valleys brand +90 +A. Bitušíková: Cultural heritage as a means of heritage tourism development + +or a wine producer.53 As visitors want to experience someting special or to learn new skills, they +can spend a day working with a farmer in the Podpoľanie region, learn how to make original +regional embroidery or experience putting on and wearing traditional folk costume. In 2020, +fifty-seven unique “experiences” were offered to visitors54 and the plan is to add new ones, such +as The Castle Route in the south of the region on the Hungarian border (Fiľakovo, Šomoška, +Divín, Modrý Kameň), with the aim of attracting more tourists from Hungary. +The strategy behind the brand builds on participatory models in tourism development that +are broadly also accepted as a criterion for sustainable tourism. Collaborative participatory +models tend to involve various stakeholders in tourism development and thus offer visitors +opportunities to meet local people in real situations.55 All seven tourism district organisations +in the Banská Bystrica region co-operate closely with local municipalities, businesses, non-gov- +ernmental organisations, active informal groups, volunteers and individuals from local com- +munities in order to avoid one-way and top-down decision-making. As expressed by one of +the coordinators: “We cannot imagine some of our activities without our enthusiasts, such as +railway or castle fans.” +One of the most important parts of the Good Region strategy has been the project to cre- +ate a network of local and regional producers, artists, farmers etc., and to establish a common +platform to give them opportunities to advertise and sell their local products (both tangible +and intangible) to local people and visitors. Although these local products are of high quality, +the producers often do not have the knowledge, experience and capacity for marketing and +distribution. The idea to overcome this challenge has been to introduce Regionálne pulty (the +Regional Stands) in six districts of the region that serve as information centres, but mainly as +selling points of high quality Regional Products.56 In order to get the certification of a Regional +Product, these products have to fulfil high quality requirements: they have to represent tradi- +tional handmade production and local/ regional origin and uniqueness, and demonstrate high +hygiene standards in the case of food products. The label “Regional Product” has been so far +given to more than 20 products (Regional product Horehronie, Regional product Podpoľanie, +Regional product Hont, Regional product Pohronie, Regional product Gemer-Malohont, Regi- +onal product Novohrad).57 +The COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) disrupted the activities and enterprises of many +local producers in the region including those in the tourism business. The Good Region De- +velopment Agency and the Regional Organisation of the Banska Bystrica Tourism did not +give up. As all open markets and fairs had to be cancelled, the regional municipality initiated +a campaign called “Buy and help”. According to Ján Lunter, the regional governor: “The aim +53 https://www.zahoramizadolami.sk/rezervuj-si-zazitky/?jump_date=2020-06-01; accessed on 12 June 2020; +https://www.facebook.com/327255131213705/videos/993605464387495; accessed on 8 February 2021; https:// +www.facebook.com/327255131213705/videos/332143591091982; accessed on 3 February 2021; https://www.fa- +cebook.com/zahoramizadolami.sk/; accessed on 2 June 2020. +54 https://rabbsk.dobrykraj.sk/subory/brozura/BBSK-2roky-Rozvojova-Agentura.pdf; accessed on 6 February + 2021. +55 e.g. OZCEVIK, Ozlem, BEYGO, Cem, AKCAKAYA, Imge (2010).

Soon after the beginning of the +pandemic, the Regional Stands started to offer online sales of more than a hundred products +made by more than twenty local producers: honey, wine, jam, syrups, herbal tea and cosmetics, +as well as wooden carved products such as crosses or musical instruments. +The Banská Bystrica Good Region Development Agency’s overall tourism strategy relies on +the concept in which heritage is seen as an important multivalent resource59 that can be used for +tourism, education, sports, entertainment, skills development, and cultural and creative indus- +tries. Similarly, Tunbridge and Ashworth define heritage as a “resource upon which extensive +activities or industries have been constructed”.60 The Good Region strategy strongly supports +using heritage as a multiple resource. It also increasingly uses the potential of new technologies +in order to unlock the value of cultural heritage in the region and open it to broader tourism +audience (by using social media and creating mobile applications, e.g. an app for the Revište +castle which comes to life in a playful and entertaining way). If we compare the current situ- +ation to the tourism marketing of the region before the establishment of the agency and its +regional tourism organisation (2018), we can see that the former marketing was oriented more +to attracting tourists to the Low and High Tatra mountains with short visits to mining cities +of the region (mainly Banská Bystrica and Banská Štiavnica), monuments, castles and folk ar- +chitecture reservations. However, this was done without offering unique experiences engaging +with local people and culture, learning new skills, doing something unusual—without allowing +the tourist to build or co-create his or her own personal experience. As the number of visitors +of the Banska Bystrica region has been increasing since the foundation of the agency,61 it se- +ems that the new, more targeted and rather innovative communication and marketing strategy +works, although it is too early to make any conclusions after less than three years. + +Concluding remarks +Cultural heritage has been one of the most important engines of tourism development in +Slovakia in recent decades. It is demonstrated in various tangible and intangible forms (such as +visits to historic cities, heritage sites, cathedrals, castles or monuments, known as built or tan- +gible heritage; living cultural heritage that includes people, folklore, customs or foods, defined +as intangible heritage; and other forms—industrial heritage; nature-based heritage, personal +heritage or dark heritage). This paper’s objective was to provide a short overview of key trends +in the conceptual development of heritage and heritage tourism studies62 and to present a case +study from Central Slovakia as an example of the implementation of new tourism destination +marketing trends. +Based on recent concepts of heritage and heritage tourism in scholarly literature, we can +see the shift from “monuments to people; from objects to functions, and consequently from +58 https://www.bystricoviny.sk/z-regionu/regionalne-pulty-v-kraji-funguju-aj-pocas-korokrizy-vratane-online-na- +kupov; accessed on 23 May 2020. +59 LOULANSKI, Revising the Concept..., pp. 220–221. +60 TUNBRIDGE, John E., ASHWORD, Gregory J.

Bitušíková: Cultural heritage as a means of heritage tourism development + +preservation to sustainable use and development”.63 The case study of the tourism strategy in +the Banská Bystrica Self-Governing Region (“The Good Region”) partly reflects these changes. +The regional tourism strategy and destination marketing have been built on: +1. the people—local bearers of heritage traditions and their personal stories (this is heritage +with a human face); +2. the functions—numerous tourism activities of the Good Region with social and eco- +nomic objectives (heritage as a human construction cannot be identified without referring to +society and its meaning for societal purposes—this refers to the social and economic values of +heritage; +3. the sustainability and resilience of heritage as a resource value in several overlapping +areas—cultural, economic, social and political.64 This can be seen in the continuity of heritage +development in numerous local contexts, both in tangible and intangible heritage forms. +Heritage is without any doubt the most powerful source of the tourism development in +Slovakia. The country is a place of numerous hidden cultural and natural tourism treasures with +a large potential to attract tourists from all over the world. The questions related to the tourism +developement are: who, why, where or to which extent. The Good Region Banská Bystrica +started to develop a new tourism vision and strategy built on the lesser-known and marginali- +sed districts and destinations of the region with the objective not only to improve and increase +cultural and natural experiential tourism, but also to create new job opportunities for local pe- +ople and even attract young people (sometimes called neorurals) to live in the countryside and +develop new activities that could contribute to innovative tourism developments. +In order to achieve these objectives, it is important to create and build new partnerships +and bridges between and across all stakeholders involved: state institutions, local and regional +municipalities, academia, non-governmental organisations, informal citizen groups and active +individuals—but primarily to build and empower local communities. The COVID-19 pande- +mic revealed new global trends—one of them has been the trend towards de-globalisation. The +focus on local developments and stronger local communities based on better communication +and collaboration among various actors seems to show the trend for the future. This trend will +definitely also have an impact on tourism development. It is too early to make any predictions, +but will be exciting to examine further developments. +References +APOSTOLAKIS, Alexandros (2003). The Convergence Process in Heritage Tourism.

We discuss briefly a comprehensive picture of the state of the art of errors in +language teaching. Khansir (2012) mentioned that error analysis emerged as a reaction to +contrastive analysis theory which considered native language interference as the major +source of errors in second language learning. Corder (1967) proposed a hypothesis that +errors are evidence of learner’s strategies of acquiring the language rather than signs of +inhibition or interference of persistent old habits (Khansir, 2010). Corder (1973) argued that +studying student’s errors also has immediate practical applications for foreign language +teachers: Errors provide feedback; they tell the teachers something about the effectiveness +of his teaching materials and his teaching techniques, and show him what parts of the +syllabus he has been following have been inadequately learned or taught and need further +attention. They enable him to decide whether he must devote more time to the item he has +been working on. This is the day-to-day value of errors. But in terms of broader planning and +with a new group of learners they provide the information for designing a remedial syllabus +or a programme of re-teaching (Corder, 1973, p. 262, as cited in Hendrickson, 1981, p. 4). +According to the state of the art of errors in language teaching, Khansir (2010) added that it +is important for teachers to be aware of the basic position that errors, as a natural and +indispensable part of the learning process, should neither be tolerated nor corrected +excessively. Therefore, the main objective of L2 teaching is to develop the ability in the +learner to communicate in the target language. What is certain, however, is that errors are +an integral part of learning a second/foreign language, or is a natural part of the learner’s +gradual movement toward the development of communicative competence, and he/she +should be allowed to make certain types of errors which do not greatly affect their +communication. This paragraph indicates that errors are a part of learner’s language +development, a sign of the learner’s learning. What is important is that errors can be guided +in order to help the students, language teachers, syllabus designers in acquiring second +language acquisition. Pakdel and Khansir (2017) said that “error analysis is one of the major +important topics of Applied Linguistics can be used in order to promote and improve +language teaching strategies in ELT classroom” (p. 115). What is remarkable in error analysis +is that the teachers should be familiar with the difference between the first and the target +language (Khansir, Ahrami, & Hajivandi, 2013). +Contrastive approach is an approach to developing the issue of error correction in +language teaching. In the development of language teaching, particularly in the teaching and +learning of a second or foreign language, there are many theories. One such theory +supported by applied linguistics is contrastive analysis, which focusses on error correction +and is supported by behavioristic theory states that errors are a symptom of ineffective +teaching or as evidence of failure. Based on this theory, errors became like a sin; something +to be avoided. Over time, many great scholars believed that when teaching and learning a +target language, a systematic comparison should be made between the mother tongue of +the learner and the target language, and that the outcome would be quite helpful to both +teachers and learners. Thus, this idea brought about contrastive analysis in language +teaching. Farhady and Delshad (2007) argued that “contrastive analysis (CA) can be defined +as a systematic comparison and contrast between two languages in order to find the existing +similarities and differences between them” (p. 53). In addition, based on this approach, the + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 191 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +errors of a target language committed by the language learner are only due to the +interference of their mother tongue, otherwise known as interlingual errors. +In this paragraph, we briefly discuss error correction and feedback in language learning +and teaching. One of the reasons is that errors made in the target language is said to relate +to the competence of the language learner. Therefore, it is important for language teachers +to know why their students make errors in the target language in order that the language +teachers may attack errors at their root cause and address them before they are even made. +Bose (2005) mentioned that “the reasons for making errors in SL are generally the same for +all learners of English” (p. 66). He added that it would be easier to identify the errors and +remedy them if the mother tongue is the same, because one of the sources of errors in +English is the interference of the mother tongue. What is important in error correction is +that all these errors do not necessarily require the same remedial treatment, because some +of the learner’s errors may be due to carelessness or (i.e., mistakes), whilst others are more +serious and may be due to incompetence of the learner (i.e., errors). Ur (1996) argued that +“in the context of teaching in general, feedback is information that is given to the learner +about his or her performance of a learning task, usually with the objective of improving this +performance” (p. 242). Thus, feedback can be distinguishable components based on +assessment and correction. Ur (1996) added that in assessment, the learner is simply +informed as to how well or badly they have performed. However, in a correction +component, some specific information is provided on certain aspects of the learner’s +performance: through explanation, or provision of better or other alternatives, or through +elicitation of these from the learner. Johnson and Johnson (1999) argued that “error +correction is a form of feedback, and there is a wide literature on the general topic of +feedback” (p. 115). However, Long (1977) presented a distinction between feedback and +correction. According to his study, feedback should be used in the case of teachers’ attempts +to supply learners with information about the correctness of their productions, while +correction should be used based on the outcome of feedback. +Before leaving the introduction of this paper, a review of language acquisition and +learning is needed because this paper focuses on error correction and feedback in learning a +target language (English). According to Krashen (1987), there are two main ways to develop +linguistic knowledge; acquisition and learning. Acquisition is a subconscious process similar +to the way in which children develop their native language; whereas learning is a conscious +process of obtaining knowledge of a second language (Krashen, 1987). Ziahosseiny (2009) +added that in the learning process, error detection and correction are central, as is the case +in most classroom settings where formal rules provide the basis for language instruction. +Khansir (2014a) argued that “the process of language acquisition is the same as the process +of acquisition of the first language, whereas, learning is conscious process and it used in the +formal situations by teachers” (p. 141). He added that the fundamental distinction is +between learning and acquisition. Acquisition in this theory occurs not consciously, and it +does not occur in formal situations or through formal grammatical rules of language. +Error Correction +The issue of error correction in a target language has been discussed considerably over +recent years. In audio-lingualism, errors of language learners were considered as sins and +the language learners were not allowed to commit errors whilst learning. However, in error +approach, language research has shown that language learners’ errors are very useful as a + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 192 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +strategy for learning a language. The learners’ errors are recognized as an integral part of +learning a target language. In fact, this approach has rejected error correction completely. +This approach does not mean that errors should be left uncorrected, but that they should be +corrected tactfully. The best strategy to correct language learners’ errors is to let the +students correct their own errors with their teacher’s help. Another strategy is to let one of +the students in a classroom correct his/her errors; else, we request the classroom teacher to +correct students’ errors in a target language. What is very important is that if the aim of +error correction is to learn target language, or when it is necessary in teaching a second or a +foreign language, or when it impairs communication in the target language, then errors +should be corrected. Most language researchers believed that error correction can be used +as a form of feedback. Correction is viewed as feedback on errors. Murphy (1986) confirmed +correction as feedback and argued that correction is a form of feedback to learners with +regards to their use of the language. Essentially it is neutral and may describe success or +failure; because language in use exploits both form and function. It may be concerned with +accuracy or fluency. Giving correction, the teacher attempts to help and improve learning; +indeed, learners are reported to want correction and find it useful. Following Edge’s +discussion on error correction, he then found correction to be a reminder, informational, +and helpful through providing feedback and he discussed the function, objective and the aim +of correction in language learning and reported that “correction is a way of reminding +students of the forms of standard English. It should not be a kind of criticism or punishment” +(1989, p. 20). “Think of correction as a way of giving information, or feedback, to your +students, just when it will support their learning” (1989, p. 17). “Correction should not mean +insisting on everything being absolutely correct. Correction means helping students to +become more accurate in their use of language” (1989, p. 33). “Correctness means helping +people express themselves more accurately” (1989, p. 59). Mishra (2005) mentioned that +correction in traditional practice is essentially a post-production exercise by the teacher in +the school language situation, interim to the acts of production and re-writing or not re- +writing. However, correction is not essay work, when learners’ errors require treatment; the +errors are considered by the teacher in order to correct them. Mishra (2005) dealt with +errors correction, especially in writing, as a complex work and as difficult a task as that of +writing itself – involving understanding, thinking, logical ordering, and factual structuring etc. +He added that correction in its process examines the writing and attempts at hinting at +effective ways of rehabilitating originally intended meaning of the pre-writing stage through +rewriting, or at directly rewriting the writing to make it more meaning-focused. Doff (1990), +in his study of error correction, noted that some aims of his study could help teachers +develop sensitivity in correcting errors, which are concerned with the following techniques: + To make teachers more aware of the significance of learners’ errors. + To help teachers develop positive strategies of error correction. + To show teachers a range of techniques for correcting oral and written errors. +He added that the aims of this study would encourage the teachers to develop a positive +attitude towards their students’ errors and suggested ways of correcting errors that will +help, rather than hinder, the learning process. Mackey (1967) emphasized the importance of +error perception and correction. He pointed out various techniques for correcting errors in +his study as follows: + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 193 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +“Techniques of correcting are some of the most important of classroom techniques. The +teacher may first try to diagnose the cause of the error. The error may be due to a transfer +from the native language, an analogy with something correctly learnt in the foreign +language, a wild guess, vagueness in remembering the right form or general lack of accuracy +and language skill….In the correction of errors there are three possibilities for the learners; +he may hear his error and correct it; he may hear it and not correct it; and he may neither +hear it nor correct it. (1967, p. 369)” +As mentioned above, finally, Hormer (1988) reported suggestions regarding the +correction of language errors as follows: + Correct the output of the students if it appears to have some effect. + Do not correct overtly, if the learner cannot self-correct, try other members of the +class. + Do not try to correct everything. Students are learning the language to be able to +communicate with the outside world. So the primary concern is with errors which +render communication difficult. +With regard to the error correction, Keshavarz is one of a number of language scholars +who suggested that an approach used in teaching composition related to error correction +was found to be effective, and that is to write the common errors on the board and explain +them to the class as a whole. Then, students were asked to examine their compositions and +try to discover their own errors. The discovery procedure was followed by classroom +exercises on the point(s) with which the students experienced problems (Keshavarz, 1994). +Based on the study of Khansir and Hozhabri (2014), “error correction can be used as an +effective method to promote EFL participants’ writing achievement in order to help the +participants become active and independent students in their performances in writing EFL +classroom” (p. 196). It is important to understand is that error correction is considered to be +one of the important techniques of error approach, which is also considered as one of the +most important aspects of applied linguistics with considerable influence over learning and +teaching in the English language. +Related Terms of Error Correction +For correction of language learner’s errors different terms such as Repair, +Reconstruction and Reformulation are needed. In dealing with the question of repair of +errors, Richards, Platt, and Platt (1992) mentioned that it was “a term for ways in which +errors, unintended forms, or misunderstandings are corrected by speakers or others during +conversation” (p. 314). Johnson and Johnson (1999) added that “repair may focus on either +meaning or form, and operate at any level: phoneme, morpheme, word, phrase, clause, +sentence, or discourse” (p. 274). “Although techniques of repair are language –specific and +an important part of strategic competence, they have received little attention in language +teaching” (p. xx). Mishra (2005) argued that repair is a broader term that includes correction +which refers only to the removal of errors. However, repair is known as the replacement of +errors in language that is made by the speaker of a language. There are two types of repairs: +a self-repair (correction of the speaker’s own utterances); and other repair (correction of the +interlocutor). The second related term of error correction is Reconstruction. Johnson (1988) +argued that, + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 194 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +“In reconstruction, errors and mistakes are simply corrected. The results will be +sentences free from gross malformations, but ones which may not remotely resemble +sentences a native speaker would produce to express the same content because +reconstruction focuses on errors and mistakes, it may well provide the learner with +information on where he or she went wrong. (Johnson, 1988, p. 92, as cited in Mishra, +2005). The last part of this category is Reformulation. Based on Johnson study, +“reformulation provides a model of what the behavior should look like; and though its +clearest use is for writing. There is no reason why spoken language should not be +reformulated” (Johnson, 1988, p. 92).” +Error and Mistakes +There has been a great deal of discussion in language teaching over errors and related +terms of errors among language scholars in recent years. However, every learner makes +mistakes, even when speaking his mother tongue. Khansir (2010) mentioned that for a +foreign language learner who knows his target language quite well, when he makes +mistakes, he has the ability to recognize and to correct them, but sometimes he does not +recognize his mistakes. Mistakes are quite different from errors. Error is defined as a lack of +a leaner’s knowledge of the language which he uses. Corder (1967), Duskova (1969), and +Richards (1971) suggested a distinction between errors at the level of performance from +errors at the level of competence. They mentioned that mistakes are errors of performance +and unsystematic. They are potentially correctible by their author or speaker. Whereas, +errors of competence are errors which reveal the underlying knowledge of the language and +they are systematic and part of the transitional competence of the learner. Corder (1973) +distinguished between “lapses,” “mistakes” and “errors.” According to him, errors are +divided into two categories: first is the performance category which is comprised of “lapses” +and mistakes; and the second is the competence category which is comprised of “errors.” +Slips of the tongue, false starts, confusion of structures etc., are termed “lapses.” In addition +to the fact that errors differ from lapses and mistakes in that they are breaches of the code, +that is, they offend the grammatical rules of the language and result in “ungrammatical” and +“unacceptable” utterances; errors occur because the learner has not internalized the +grammar of the second language in the way that it is required. +Review of Error Correction +Let us begin this part of this paper by briefly clarifying the fundamental questions about +error correction and then review the literature that addresses them. A question arises as to +why should foreign language learner’s errors be corrected? However, we recognize that +error correction is one of the basic strategies in learning and teaching a foreign or second +language in the classroom. Mishra (2005) mentioned that in his study, he found that 100% of +the teachers answered positively about the essentialness of correction. He added that the +problem is that teachers do not know effective methods of correction. Krashen (1987) +argued that based on the theory of second language acquisition, it effects learned +competence by informing the learner that his or her current version of a conscious rule is +wrong. Thus, second language acquisition theory implies that when the goal is learning, +errors should indeed be corrected (but not all times, and not all rules, even if the goal is +learning). Based on the idea of Hendrickson (1978) in the area of error correction, it was +argued that students may not on their own be able to correct their own errors, and that +correction should come as a teaching aid. Thus, in 1986, Sheorey was one of the research + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 195 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +scholars who worked on the perception of errors of native speakers and non-native speakers +of the English language among teachers of ESL, and mentioned that error correction in ESL +cases can be liberally applied in order to benefit students. Richards (1974) said that error +correction in English second language contexts should be based on a liberal approach. What +is important is that in learning a target language, the role of students should not be ignored +in error correction and opportunity given to teachers to make decisions and to use the error +correction liberally. +One of the common strategies in error correction of a target language can be the role of +the teacher or student. The role of the teacher in error correction is a traditional approach +and stretches back to the time of the audiolingual approach. At that time, teachers were +responsible for correcting all errors of their students, and then the result of this theory bore +a new approach in applied linguistics called contrastive approach. It assumed that the +mother tongue interference from a students’ first language was the cause of errors in their +target language. Hendrickson (1981) argued that it was believed that if a teacher had a +systematic knowledge of the differences between the two languages, he could begin +developing appropriate instructional techniques and materials that would help students +avoid producing errors. Based the role of the teacher in error correction, Allwright (1975) +mentioned that teacher correction could be effective on the grounds of illogicality, +inconsistency and unproductiveness. Corder, in 1973 and as the father of error analysis, +argued that the role of teachers in error correction should provide data and examples, and +where necessary to offer explanations and descriptions and more importantly, verification of +the teacher’s hypothesis about the target language. +We now turn to the student and his role in error correction. Ellis (1991) argued that “the +teacher has a traditional right to provide learners with feedback regarding the correctness or +appropriateness of their responses” (p. 70). The role of student as the second angle of +language error correction is often very important. In the language classroom, what is very +important is that the teacher should give opportunity to learners to correct their own errors. +Khansir (2014b) argued that it is important that English teachers give more opportunities to +learners in the classroom in order to practice their lessons and that the teacher tries to push +students in the right direction several times so as to focus on their activities. Mishra (2005) +said that sharing the learning experience with students is advocated by modern educational +psychology. He added that this sharing can help the students through twofold purposes. +Firstly, this helps to test the level of language knowledge of the students; and secondly, it +makes some exchange and communication between the teacher and the students possible. +Thus, correction in this sharing implies that students’ themselves take on the job of their +error correction. Sharing pushes the students toward peer correction, and group correction +can be used as steps leading to students’ self-correction. This means that we can reach the +highest purpose of all correction efforts and it may be the case that the students may +directly improve and promote their language acquisition. In this case, the role of teacher can +be as guide and he forms a group of language learners and the group is assigned to correct +the errors selected. Edge (1989) suggested the four items based on peer-correction which +can be of advantage to learners as follows: + Peer correction helps in thinking about the language when two learners are actively +engaged in deciding which is the best form of language. Listening to others’ ideas +helps in testing one’s own knowledge. + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 196 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 + When the teacher engages learners in correcting each other’s mistakes, he gets a +good opportunity to listen to the discussion and ascertain how far learners have +internalized the grammatical rules. + Error correction helps learners to be less dependent on their teachers and rely more +on their colleagues. + The habit of doing every little thing in the class in pairs and groups without hurting +each other’s feeling convinces them that they can learn from each other. +However, we conclude that correction as one of language learning strategies depends +on time, practice, interest, involvement of both teacher and learner in learning a target +language. Error correction has its total success when the language learners making the +errors are able to correct them alone (self-correction). Another item in this discussion is +when learner errors should be corrected. In this discussion, we have still to focus on the +teacher as one of the angles of language learning strategies in ELT setting. If a teacher is able +to discover causes of a student’s error in the four language skills (writing, speaking, reading, +listening), he can push the student towards error correction, plans for language learning +through error correction strategies and shows the causes of those errors to the student. +Now, we follow the issue of error correction in this field based the suggestion of Krashen +(1987), who mentioned that, +“The implications of second language acquisition theory are similar. If error correction +aims at learning, it is logical to suppose that the conditions for error correction should be +identical to the conditions for utilizing learning –we should focus our students on form, and +correct their errors, only when they have time and when such diversion of attention does +not interfere with communication. (1987, p. 117)” +However, error correction should be applied in order to help the language learner know +how much they have learned, as well as how much remains to be learned. Hendrickson +(1981) mentioned that based on the empirical evidence, and when to correct second +language errors, teachers are argued to tolerate a greater degree of errors in their students’ +speech and writing. Another item is very necessary in this paper is that which learner errors +should be corrected, and which should not? One of the important aims of error correction is +to interpret the results of the method of language teaching employed, and to tell us the +kinds of errors committed by the students. Evidence shows that a greater number of errors +occur in ELT classrooms; however, error correction is needed as part of a more effective +language teaching strategy, along with a good technique by teachers in the ELT classroom. A +language teacher should focus on the frequency of errors committed by students in learning +the English language. Johasson, in his 1973 study, argued that errors involving general +grammatical rules are more deserving of attention than errors involving lexical exceptions. +Hendrickson (1981) suggested that errors that impair communication significantly are those +that have highly stigmatic effects on the listener or reader, and that occur very frequently in +sentences’ speech or writing. Based on the hypotheses of Hendrickson in the field of error +correction, Krashen (1987) mentioned the following hypotheses: + Global errors should be corrected, because they interfere with communication or +impede the intelligibility of a language. This type of error deserves top priority in +correction. + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 197 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 + Errors that are the most stigmatized, that cause the most unfavorable reactions; they +are the most important to correct. + Errors that occur most frequently should be given top priority. +In this paragraph, we discuss another item related to error correction, and that is how +should errors be corrected? One of the learning strategies related to error correction is +where the teacher corrects all learners’ errors in the ELT classroom. Many great scholars +have considered the issue of error correction in language learners, such as Cohen and +Robbins (1976) who argued that students’ who had error correction applied in their +compositions showed no significant effect on error reduction, and that it was an issue +whereby the teachers had corrected the compositions inconsistently. Therefore, they +mentioned that a systematic approach to error correction would be more effective than +random corrective actions. Krashen (1987) argued that the following items could be positive +in error correction: + Errors corrected are limited to learnable and portable rules. + Errors are corrected under conditions that allow Monitor use. This will give the +learner time to reconsider the rule that was violated. + Measures evaluating the efficacy of error correction are administered under +conditions that allow Monitor use, to allow the learners time to refer to his or her +conscious knowledge. + Subjects used as known to be Monitor –users (i.e. they are not under-users of the +Monitor). (p. 119) +Wingfield (1975) said that the following five techniques are necessary for correcting +learners written errors, + The teacher gives sufficient clues to enable self-correction to be made; + The teacher corrects the script; + The teacher deals with errors through marginal comments and footnotes; + The teacher explains orally to individual students; + The teacher uses the error as an illustration for a class explanation. (p. 311) +What is very important to understand is that procedures of error correction include +both teacher correction and student correction. Sometimes, error correction has been +applied based on direct correction, Krashen (1987) mentioned that “some research shows +that direct correction is not particularly effective; students who have had direct correction of +their oral and written output in instructional programs did not produce fewer errors” +(p. 118). Sometimes, error correction has been done based on inductive approach. Khansir +and Pakdel (2016) said that “inductive approach to the teaching grammar is used based on +this technique: grammar rules are not presented to the learners first. Language rules are +induced from carefully graded exposure to and practice with examples in situations and +substitution tables” (p. 145). +Conclusion +The discussion of the error correction of English language errors is still alive and plays a +vital role in English language learning in the EFL classroom for foreign and second language +settings. In conclusion, this paper has shown that error correction of foreign or second + +ALI AKBAR KHANSIR and FARHAD PAKDEL 198 + +EDUPIJ • Volume 7 • Issue 3 • 2018 +language learners depends on both teachers and students. Thus, we conclude that teachers +can be helpful to students as a guide in improving the ability of the students to correct +written or spoken English errors in the ELT classroom. Hendrickson (1981) concluded that, +“It may be more helpful for students and more efficient for teachers to correct selective +written errors by using a combination of direct and indirect techniques depending upon the +types and frequencies of errors that a student produces, and according to his or her +language proficiency. (p. 37)” +In an investigation dealing with the error treatment, Chaudron (1977) differentiated +between types of treatment: a) Treatment that results in the learners’ autonomous ability to +correct herself on an item; b) Treatment that results in the elicitation of a correct response +from the learner; c) Any reaction by the teacher that clearly transforms disapprovingly refers +to or demands improvement; and, d) Positive or negative reinforcement involving +expressions of approval or disapproval (Ellis, 1991, p. 71). +Notes +Corresponding author: ALI AKBAR KHANSIR +References +Allwright, R.

With the fifth edition of the DSM presently in field trials for release in 2013, there is renewed discussion and debate over the extent of its relative successes - and shortcomings - at iteratively incorporating scientific evidence on the often ambiguous nature and etiology of mental illness. Given the power that the DSM has exerted both within psychiatry and society at large, this essay seeks to analyze variations in content and context of various editions of the DSM, address contributory influences and repercussion of such variations on the evolving landscape of psychiatry as discipline and practice over the past sixty years. Specifically, we document major modifications in the definition, characterization, and classification of mental disorders throughout successive editions of the DSM, in light of shifting trends in the conceptualization of psychopathology within evolving schools of thought in psychiatry, and in the context of progress in behavioral and psychopharmacological therapeutics over time. We touch upon the social, political, and financial environments in which these changes took places, address the significance of these changes with respect to the legitimacy (and legitimization) of what constitutes mental illness and health, and examine the impact and implications of these changes on psychiatric practice, research, and teaching. We argue that problematic issues in psychiatry, arguably reflecting the large-scale adoption of the DSM, may be linked to difficulties in formulating a standardized nosology of psychopathology. In this light, we highlight 1) issues relating to attempts to align the DSM with the medical model, with regard to increasing specificity in the characterization of discrete mental disease entities and the incorporation of neurogenetic, neurochemical and neuroimaging data in its nosological framework; 2) controversies surrounding the medicalization of cognition, emotion, and behavior, and the interpretation of subjective variables as 'normal' or 'abnormal' in the context of society and culture; and 3) what constitutes treatment, enablement, or enhancement - and what metrics, guidelines, and policies may need to be established to clarify such criteria. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/871658052120af8e.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/871658052120af8e.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..649afe14d126b49c0af9c6394a4b6426b13f3ea5 --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/871658052120af8e.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +Corrigendum: Differential Difficulties in Perception of Tashlhiyt Berber Consonant Quantity Contrasts by Native Tashlhiyt Listeners vs. Berber-Naïve French Listeners + +A corrigendum on Differential difficulties in perception of Tashlhiyt Berber consonant quantity contrasts by native Tashlhiyt listeners versus Berber-naïve French listeners by Pierre Hallé, Rachid Ridouane, and Catherine Best, 2016, Frontier in Psychology, 7:209, doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00209.One sentence went wrong in the last paragraph of the Introduction section: “The acoustic substance … varied from silence (word-final voiceless stops: e.g., fit-fitt), to low-intensity voicing murmur (word-initial voiced stops: e.g., bi-bbi), with strident frication (word-initial fricatives: e.g., sir-ssir) in between.” The sentence should be: “The acoustic substance … varied from silence (word-final voiceless stops: e.g., fit-fitt), to strident frication (word-initial fricatives: e.g., sir-ssir), with low-intensity voicing murmur (word-initial voiced stops: e.g., bi-bbi), in between.” Indeed, our initial hypothesis is that French listeners’ performance on singleton-geminate contrasts follows the critical segments’ acoustic intensity. Thus, under this hypothesis, the prediction that “French listeners should encounter the greatest difficulty with voiceless stops (silence) and the least difficulty with voiceless fricatives (strident frication)” only makes sense if the ordering of the three types of segments is explained as corrected.

The quantification of this relationship is of value to: (1) health professionals, clinicians and researchers interested in utilising the arts as a method for improving mental health; (2) to health promoters and policy makers in the development of population based health messages, policy and practice; and (3) to members of the general public in maintaining or improving their own well-being. As guided by theories of social epidemiology and the biopsychosocial model of health, the first aim of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between arts engagement (hours per year) and mental well-being in the general population. If an association was demonstrated, the second aim was to quantify this relationship. METHODS: A random sample of 702 Western Australian adults aged 18+ years (response rate = 71%) were invited to take part in a telephone survey. The survey took 15 min to complete and included questions about arts engagement, mental well-being, demographics and potential confounders/effect modifiers. The dependent variable was subjective mental well-being (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, WEMWBS). The independent variable was hours engaged in the arts in the last 12 months. RESULTS: Respondent engagement in the arts ranged from zero to 1572 hours/year (mean = 100.8 hours/year, SD = 206.0). The prevalence of engagement was 83 %. The average WEMWBS score was 53 (SD = 7.4). After adjustment for demographics (i.e. sex, age group, location, income, education, marital status, children), general health, sports engagement, religious activities and holidays, respondents with high levels of arts engagement (100 or more hours/year, WEMWBS score = 55) had significantly better mental well-being than those with none (0 hours/year, WEMWBS score = 53), low (0.1-22.9 hours/year, WEMWBS score = 52) and medium (23-99.9 hours/year, WEMWBS score = 53) levels of engagement (p = 0.003). Respondents with none, low and medium arts engagement had similar WEMWBS scores (p = 0.358). The relationship between arts engagement and WEMWBS was nonlinear with evidence of a minimum threshold at 100 or more hours/year (p = 0.0006). CONCLUSION: Evidence of an arts-mental health relationship was found in this study. Those who engaged in 100 or more hours/year of arts engagement (i.e. two or more hours/week) reported significantly better mental well-being than other levels of engagement. The suitability of the arts as a population based strategy to influence the mental well-being of the general population should be investigated further. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/929fdc451f85953b.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/929fdc451f85953b.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0885e0580813d71bd42a533e3f90c616fda0a6c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/929fdc451f85953b.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1915 @@ +Wanneer een twee word: ’n Perspektief op resente gebeure in die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika + +When one becomes two: A perspective on recent events in the Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa.

Dié versoek hou verband met die stigting van ’n organisasie met die naam steedsHervormers +in 2012 en die Bond van Onafhanklike Hervormde Kerke op 26 Januarie 2013 te Gemeente Meyerspark, +wat op 28 Julie 2013 formeel gekonstitueer het as die Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes. Met +hierdie gebeure het kerkskeuring vir die Hervormde Kerk ’n werklikheid geword. +’n Weergawe van die gebeure op 26 Januarie 2013 is op die webblad van die steedsHervormers +geplaas (steedsHervormers 2013). In die verklaring van die Geloofsbond staan onder andere: +Die Onafhanklike/Selfstandige gemeentes teenwoordig, het ’n Bond van onafhanklike gemeentes gestig +met ‘n ope uitnodiging aan ander Onafhanklike/Selfstandige gemeentes om aan te sluit. Die besluit is +eenparig geneem. Die Bond van Onafhanklike Hervormde kerke sal tydens hul eerste vergadering besluit +oor teologiese opleiding, ’n naam, embleem en ander sake. Daar is reeds konsensus oor teologiese sake. +Om ’n geskiedenis van resente gebeure te skryf is om verskeie redes besonder moeilik. ’n +Soortgelyke poging is ’n artikel wat in 2011 in Historia verskyn het, wat die resente geskiedenis +van die Nederduitse Gereformeerde (NG) Kerk ten opsigte van die kerk se besluite oor apartheid +en die afskeiding van die Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk beskryf (vgl. Van der Merwe & Oelofse +2011; kyk ook Van Butselaar 2001:150–168). Die skrywers van die artikel het die voordeel van +groter afstand (1982 – dus 30 jaar) en kan groter aanspraak maak op objektiwiteit. In hierdie +bydrae, waar dit om werklik resente gebeure gaan, is dit moeiliker om objektief oor bepaalde +gebeure te oordeel. +Dit is opvallend dat terminologie wat 30 jaar gelede in die NG Kerk gebruik is, bykans identies +is aan dit wat die afgelope tyd in die Hervormde Kerk gehoor word. In die volgende aanhaling +word terminologie beklemtoon wat identies in beide gevalle benut word: +Die Voortsettingskomitee het uiteindelik ’n Beswaarskrif die lig laat sien, getiteld Geloof en Protes – ’n +antwoord namens beswaarde lidmate op sekere aspekte van Kerk en Samelewing. … Daar word gekies +om ’n nuwe kerk te help stig, ’n kerk wat staan by die Bybel as God se onfeilbare Woord, ’n kerk wat ook +staan by die Belydenisskrifte as betroubare samevatting van die waarhede van die Bybel. … Die NG Kerk is +ook onder druk geplaas deur ’n ander groep in eie geledere, naamlik die NG Geloofsbond wat deur die +teoloog en voormalige voorsitter van die Afrikaner Broederbond (AB), prof. Carel Boshoff, gelei is. Die +NG Geloofsbond was ’n drukgroep binne die NGK wat gepoog het om die besluite wat tydens die AS van +1986 geneem is, te herroep. (Van der Merwe & Oelofse 2010: 10, [outeur se beklemtoning]) +Die kerklike afskeiding in die Hervormde geledere het ’n lang aanloop gehad. Uiteraard is dit +onmoontlik om dit volledig te behandel en kan slegs ’n gereduseerde beeld aangebied word, met +die moontlike beskuldiging dat dit nie ‘die waarheid’ is nie. Paul Ricoeur (2004) het daarop gewys +dat daar ’n spanningsvolle en komplekse verhouding bestaan tussen dit wat ons individueel en +kollektief onthou; dat hierdie herinneringe vir geskiedskrywing uiters belangrik is maar dat +Page 1 of 16 +Scan this QR +code with your +smart phone or +mobile device +to read online. +Read online: + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +dit tegelykertyd net voorlopig kan wees. Elke verhaal wat +ons vertel, kan altyd weer op ’n ander manier vertel en +gekorrigeer word. Daarom is enige beskrywing van onlangse +gebeure per definisie voorlopige indrukke wat in die toekoms +gekorrigeer móét word. Dit geld ook ten opsigte van hierdie +bydrae. +In geskiedskrywing gaan dit om meer as ‘die waarheid’, +veral as ‘die waarheid’ verstaan word as ’n absolute +korrelasie tussen gebeure en die beskrywing daarvan, of +as ’n objektiewe en foutlose beskrywing van die verlede. +Geskiedskrywing gaan in die eerste plek om singewing +(Dreyer 1974:215–239). Wanneer ons singewend met die +verlede besig is, vra ons nie nét wat gebeur nie, maar ons vra +óók: waarom gebeur dit? Hierdie bydrae moet gesien word as +’n poging om sin te maak van gebeure wat ’n traumatiese +effek op die Hervormde Kerk gehad het. +Vanuit die geledere van die Geloofsbond is die antwoord +op die waarom vraag ongekompliseerd en daarom vir baie +lidmate aantreklik: Die Hervormde Kerk duld liturgiese +vernuwing; +die +Hervormde +Kerk +duld +leervryheid +by predikante en dosente; die gesag van die Skrif en +Belydenisskrifte word bevraagteken; die Kommissie van +die Algemene Kerkvergadering (AKV) pas nie leertug toe +nie en die AKV se besluite oor apartheid veroordeel ons +voorgeslagte tot ketters en trek daarmee ’n streep deur die +gedagte van ’n volkskerk. In kort: Die Hervormde Kerk het +die pad byster geraak en daarom is ’n skeiding van weë +onafwendbaar. +Uiteraard is daar ook ander antwoorde en perspektiewe. Die +gebeure van die afgelope tyd vertoon ’n uiters komplekse +beeld. In ’n poging om daarvan sin te probeer maak, word +eers ’n lengtesnit aangebied en dan, aan die hand van ’n paar +temas, word die volgende dieptesnitte gemaak: +• +Die rol van die media +• +Die rol van organisasies +• +Uiteenlopende teologiese denke +• +Ideologiese verskille +• +Enkele kerkregtelike opmerkings. +Aanleidende gebeure (lengtesnit) +Reeds 60 jaar gelede, met die aanvaarding van die 1951 +Kerkwet wat bepaal het dat slegs blankes lidmaat van +die Hervormde Kerk mag wees, was dit duidelik dat +daar verskillende denkrigtings in die Hervormde Kerk +teenwoordig was. Predikante soos A.S. Geyser, A. van Selms, +C.J. Labuschagne, J.A.A.A. Stoop en M.J. Redelinghuys het +hulle teen die rasklousule in Artikel III uitgespreek. Die +saak is op die spits gedryf na die Cottesloe beraad van 1960, +waartydens Geyser en Van Selms ’n minderheidsrapport +aangebied het wat apartheid ten sterkste veroordeel het. +Beide Geyser en Van Selms was internasionaal bekend as +bekwame Bybelwetenskaplikes. Geyser is in 1946, op 27-jarige +ouderdom, as professor aan die Universiteit van Pretoria +aangestel. Sy nagraadse studies in Aramees, Siries, Grieks, +Latyn en Frans het aan hom besondere teksvaardighede +gegee. In 1949 het hy in Parys aan die Sorbonne navorsing +gedoen en gedoseer oor die ‘Kerk in die Nuwe Testament’. +In dieselfde jaar is hy deur die pous genooi om deel te neem +aan opgrawings onder die Petruskerk in Rome. In 1952 +word hy buitengewone dosent in Nuwe Testament aan die +Universiteit Utrecht. +Tydens hierdie besoek aan Europa kom hy onder die invloed +van leidingewende teoloë in die ekumeniese beweging. Na sy +terugkeer uit Europa het Geyser toenemend krities gestaan +teenoor die teologiese begronding van apartheid en het hy +betrokke geraak by organisasies wat hulle beywer het vir +die beëindiging van apartheid. In hierdie tyd het proff. A.S. +Geyser en A.D. Pont in geskrifte, kerklike en openbare media +asook vergaderings besonder skerp van mekaar verskil. Dit +het gelei tot ’n lastersaak waar die hof aan Pont opdrag gegee +het om aan Geyser skadevergoeding te betaal. +In 1961 is ’n klag deur drie studente (o.a. H.G. van der +Westhuizen) teen Geyser ingedien, wat daarop neergekom +het dat hy ’n afwykende Christologie huldig, op grond van +sy eksegese van Filippense 2. In Mei 1962 is hy deur die +Kommissie van die AKV skuldig bevind aan dwaalleer en is +hy versoek om sy leerstoel te ontruim. Nadat hy ’n aanstelling +aan die Universiteit van die Witwatersrand ontvang het, +het hy op 31 Julie 1962 sy bedanking as predikant van die +Hervormde Kerk aangekondig. Hy is onmiddellik deur Van +Selms gevolg. +Verskil van mening oor apartheid – Artikel III – volkskerk en +teologiese opleiding het die afgelope 50 jaar op elke Algemene +Kerkvergadering na vore gekom. In dokumente is gereeld +geïnsinueer dat die sogenaamde ‘Bybelwetenskaplikes’ ’n +afwykende Christologie huldig. So onlangs as 30 April 2013 +skryf A.D. Pont (2013a) op Facebook dat die maagdelike +geboorte van Jesus ’n ontwyfelbare historiese feit is en vra +dan: ‘Waarom put geleerde Bybelwetenskaplikes hulleself so +uit om te bewys dat God se beloftes nie waar kan wees nie?’ +Ek is van mening dat die diskoers van die afgelope 50 jaar +getipeer kan word as ’n spanningsvolle gesprek tussen +konfessionele en kritiese teologie. Onderliggend aan die +diskoers, was ook die vraag: Wat is Hervormde teologie? Die +term ‘Bybels-reformatoriese teologie’ het as sambreelterm +daarin geslaag om verskillende teologiese strominge in die +Hervormde Kerk tydelik bymekaar te hou. Die gebeure +sedert die 69e AKV het die uiteenlopende denke in die +Hervormde Kerk weer na vore gebring en aangetoon dat +’n term soos ‘Bybels-reformatories’ nie sondermeer daarin +slaag om konsensus te bewerkstellig nie. +Die ruimte ontbreek om hierdie tema volledig te ontgin. Ek +gaan dus volstaan deur meer onlangse gebeure kortliks te +bespreek. +Page 2 of 16 + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 3 of 16 +Eietydse getuienis op Hervormingsondag (1995) +Op 04 November 1995 het ’n groep predikante en lidmate +van die Hervormde Kerk onder leiding van ’n ‘loodskomitee’ +(A.D. Pont, H.G. van der Westhuizen, G.C. van Staden, J.J. +Steenkamp, S. Gregan, H.J. Botes en J.H. Breytenbach) die +sogenaamde ‘Eietydse Getuienis op Hervormingsondag’ +uitgereik. Die Getuienis het die bedoeling gehad om ’n ‘vurk +in die pad’ aan te dui (Steenkamp 1995:3). Die vurk in die +pad van die Hervormde Kerk is aangedui as uiteenlopende +teologiese rigtings. +In die voorwoord van die Getuienis (Steenkamp 1995) is +daar ook ’n verwysing na ‘Die Verbond’ – ’n liggaam wat +geskep is om konfessionele teologie in die Hervormde Kerk +te bevorder. In die voorwoord lees ons: +Die een saak wat ons tot ’n eenheid saamgesnoer het, was ons +aanvaarding van die belydenisskrifte van die kerk. Dit was die +enkele saambindende faktor in wat ons die Bybels-reformatoriese +teologie noem. … Dit is duidelik dat daar verskillende teologiese +strominge (nie net twee nie) in ons kerk bestaan. Waar die +belydenisskrifte in die verlede die eenheid bewaar het, blyk dit +nie meer [die geval] te wees nie. (geen bladsy beskikbaar) +Die Verbond het verskeie vergaderings gehou, waarheen +lidmate uitgenooi is. Die Kommissie van die AKV het die +saak probeer beredder deur die Predikantevergadering van +1996 te vervroeg, waar verskillende standpunte gestel is. Dit +het waarskynlik die uiteenlopende teologiese standpunte net +verder beklemtoon. +In die teks van die Getuienis (Steenkamp 1995:5–10) word +die stelling gemaak dat die afwykende teologiese tendense +in die Hervormde Kerk dringend reggestel moet word. Die +Verbond was van mening dat sommige Hervormde teoloë nie +die Skrif as die Woord van God beskou nie; die maagdelike +geboorte en liggaamlike opstanding van Christus ontken en +nie meer die Belydenisskrifte onderskryf nie. +In 1994 het ’n nuwe politieke bedeling in Suid-Afrika +aangebreek. Nelson Mandela is ingesweer as president van +die Republiek van Suid-Afrika. Die Hervormde Kerk word in +die Getuienis verkwalik vir haar onderdanigheid en onvermoë +om teenoor die nuwe owerheid te getuig. Ten slotte verwerp +die Getuienis die humanistiese ‘eenheidsideologie’ wat +ras-, volk- en kultuurgemengde gemeentes op die kerk wil +afdwing (Steenkamp 1995:9). Die lidmate van die Hervormde +Kerk word opgeroep om die diepgaande teologiese skeiding +in die kerk raak te sien, die humanisme en ander afwykende +tendense in die kerk te bestry en te bid dat dié wat daardeur +bekoor word, tot bekering sal kom. +In +’n +ongepubliseerde +‘Inligtingstuk +2012’ +van +die +steedsHervormers (2012c) wat in my besit is, word op +bladsy 2 ’n diagram aangebied wat die handelinge van die +huidige Geloofsbond ten nouste verbind aan die Verbond +van 1995/1996. Die organiese, teologiese en historiese +verbintenis tussen die HCM Fourie Vriendekring, Verbond, +steedsHervormers, Geloofsbond van Onafhanklike Hervormde +Kerk en Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes kan sonder +moeite aangetoon word (vgl. Otto 2012). +Die verband tussen die opeenvolgende organisasies word nie +net in die deurlopende teologiese diskoers sigbaar nie, maar +ook in en deur dieselfde persone wat betrokke was by die +klag teen Geyser, die Eietydse Getuienis, steedsHervormers en +ontstaan van die Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes. +Besluit oor apartheid AKV 2001 +In ons lengtesnit moet ons ook kennis neem van die 66e AKV +van 2001, toe die saak van ’n skuldbelydenis oor apartheid +op die tafel was. Drie memoranda is aangebied, en sonder +bespreking is die dokument van dr. D.J.C. van Wyk (sr.), as +’n kompromis, aanvaar. In die skuldbelydenis oor apartheid +stel die AKV: +dat die kerk kennis neem van die misdade wat onder die +apartheidsbeleid gepleeg is, selfs deur lidmate van die kerk. +Daarvoor bely die kerk sy skuld voor God en word die lidmate +opgeroep tot ’n skuldbelydenis teenoor God en medemens. +(Nederduitsch +Hervormde +Kerk +van +Afrika +[NHKA] +2001:171–174) +Die opvallende van hierdie besluit is dat apartheid per se +nie veroordeel word nie, maar wel die misdade wat mense +gepleeg het om apartheid in stand te hou. Die skuldbelydenis +verwoord ook nie iets van die Hervormde Kerk se teologiese +begronding en goedkeuring van apartheid nie. Die +skuldbelydenis fokus op die individu, nie op die kerk nie en +ook nie op apartheid as politieke bestel nie. +Tog was hierdie uitspraak van die AKV ingrypend anders as +die kerk se regverdiging van apartheid, soos verwoord oor +etlike dekades in amptelike dokumente van die kerk (vgl. +Dreyer 2013a). Baie het die mening gehuldig dat die 2001 +uitspraak oor apartheid voldoende sou wees met die oog +op die herstel van die Hervormde Kerk se lidmaatskap van +die World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC), nou die +World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC). +Nasionale Colloquium (2006) +Die Nasionale Colloquium (27–29 April 2006) het die +Hervormde Kerk met die vraag na die ‘Identiteit en +relevansie van die Hervormde Kerk in die 21e eeu’ +gekonfronteer. Charmaine Lines (2006:20–21), destyds +kommunikasiebestuurder van die Hervormde Kerk, het in +’n artikel met die titel ‘God se Gees was daar’, dit duidelik +gestel dat ‘die Colloquium die begin van ’n proses is waar +lidmate van die Hervormde Kerk met mekaar kon gesels oor +wie en wat ons kerk is en behoort te wees.‘ +In die aanloop na die Colloquium is predikante, +ringskommissies, ampsdraers en lidmate uitgenooi om +aan die gesprek deel te neem. Ongeveer 150 lidmate en +ampsdraers het die geleentheid buite Pretoria bygewoon. +Die uitkoms van die Nasionale Colloquium is verwoord in ’n +Herderlike Skrywe van die Kommissie van die AKV wat in + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 4 of 16 +September 2007 na al die gemeentes gestuur is, onder die titel +‘Identiteit en relevansie van die kerk in die 21e eeu’ (NHKA +2007). Die Herderlike Skrywe begin met die woorde: +Die Kommissie van die Algemene Kerkvergadering is van +oortuiging dat die krisis van die tyd nie bepalend vir die wese van +die kerk kan wees nie. Die wese van die kerk word bepaal deur +die Drie-enige God en die evangelie van Jesus Christus. (bl. 1) +Die Kommissie van die AKV en by name prof. J. Buitendag +as voorsitter, het onder skerp kritiek deurgeloop vir die +‘vreemde’ Colloquium en Herderlike Skrywe, wat deur +sommige beskryf is as ‘breinspoeling’. +Wat mense waarskynlik vergeet het, is dat die Hervormde +gesprek oor kerkwees reeds ’n dekade tevore begin het. +In 1995 is die Predikantevergadering en ’n hele uitgawe +van HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies (HTS 51[3]) +aan ekklesiologie en kerkbegrip gewy. In hierdie uitgawe, +waaraan al die teoloë van die kerk meegewerk het, het daar +reeds uiteenlopende denke oor kerkwees na vore gekom +(vgl. Dreyer 2011a). +Die Kommissie van die AKV wat in 2001 verkies is, het onder +leiding van prof. T.F.J. Dreyer die gesprek oor kerkwees +voortgesit. Dit het sigbaar geword in twee sake, te wete die +visie ‘Jesus Christus die enigste hoop vir die wêreld’ asook +die ‘Basiskursus in Bedieningspraktyk’, wat nuwe kontoere +getrek het vir die bedieningspraktyk in die Hervormde Kerk. +Dit is opmerklik dat die gesprek oor kerkwees sedert 2001 +onverpoosd voortduur. Tydens Voortgesette Teologiese +Toerusting (VTT), die opening van die Hervormde Teologiese +Kollege (HTK), Inligting- en Besprekingsvergaderings en +Ringsvergaderings was kerkbegrip en kerkwees dikwels op +die agenda (vgl. Dreyer 2011b, 2011d, 2013b). +Ook die 70e AKV wat van 22–27 September 2013 sitting +geneem het, het die eerste twee dae aandag gegee aan ’n +verskeidenheid vrae wat verband hou met kerkwees in die +toekoms. +Die Hervormde Kerk se gesprek oor kerkwees en kerkbegrip +van die laaste 20 jaar, vertoon groot diversiteit. Die tipiese +presbiteriaal-sinodale en volkskerklike kerkbegrip wat aan +die Hervormde Kerk ’n sterk institusionele karakter verleen +(vgl. Dreyer 2011e:65–74), het stelselmatig begin plek maak +vir ’n organiese kerkbegrip waar die klem geplaas word op +die kerk as die liggaam van Christus. Hierdie ekklesiologiese +verskuiwing het heelwat kritiek uitgelok, veral ten opsigte +van die 69e AKV se besluite oor volkskerk en missionale +kerkwees (NHKA 2010:60, 83–84). +Besoek van World Alliance of Reformed +Churches (2006) +Die proses om die Hervormde Kerk se lidmaatskap van die +WARC te herstel, het tydens die 67e AKV (2004) momentum +gekry. Dit was tegelyk die begin van skerp meningsverskil +in die kerk (vgl. Dreyer 2011c). Dit het daartoe gelei dat ’n +afvaardiging van die WARC die Hervormde Kerk in 2006 +besoek het. +Die afvaardiging het bestaan uit dr. Setri Nyomi (Algemene +Sekretaris), ds. Peggy Kabonde (Zambië), ds. Sandy +Horsburgh (Skotland), dr. Felix Chingota (Malawi), dr. +Egbert Rooze (België), prof. Thias Kgatla (Suid-Afrika) en dr. +Kobus Gerber (Suid-Afrika). +Die WARC het die Hervormde Kerk van 05–08 Junie 2006 +besoek. Samesprekings is met die Moderamen, Kommissie +van die Hervormde Kerk, en die Raad vir Ekumene en +Hervormde Dosentevergadering gevoer. Daar is ook met die +Moderamen van die Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike Afrika +(MRCC) gesprek gevoer. Die doel van die besoek was om +’n verslag aan die WARC se Uitvoerende Komitee te lewer, +waarin aangedui word tot watter mate die Hervormde Kerk +voldoen aan die voorwaardes vir hertoelating tot die WARC. +Hierdie voorwaardes is die volgende: +• +Swart Christene word nie van eredienste en deelname +aan die nagmaal uitgesluit nie. +• +Konkrete ondersteuning word in woord en daad gebied +aan diegene wat gely het onder apartheid. +• +Ondubbelsinnige sinodale besluite word geneem wat die +teologiese begronding van apartheid verwerp. +Tydens die onderhandelinge is ooreengekom dat die +Hervormde Kerk reeds voldoen aan die eerste twee vereistes +maar, strydig met die verwagting van die Kommissie van +die AKV, was die WARC afvaardiging teleurgesteld oor +die besluit wat die 66e AKV oor apartheid geneem het. Dit +hou verband daarmee dat die AKV hom nie oor apartheid +as sodanig of oor die teologiese regverdiging daarvan +uitgespreek het nie, maar slegs oor misdade wat deur +individue gepleeg is. +Die WARC afvaardiging was ook baie krities oor die Ordereël +IV in die Kerkorde, wat hulle beskou het as ’n verskuilde +voortsetting van Artikel III wat lidmaatskap van die kerk tot +blankes beperk het. Die WARC afvaardiging het wel positief +gereageer oor die uitkoms van die Nasionale Colloquium, +veral ten opsigte van die standpunt dat die verhouding met +die MRCC moes verbeter. +Die gevolgtrekking waartoe die WARC afvaardiging gekom +het, was dat die 2001 besluit oor apartheid nie voldoen aan +die vereistes van die 1982 Ottawa Resolusie nie, wat vereis +dat die AKV die teologiese regverdiging van apartheid +onvoorwaardelike moet herroep (vgl. WARC 2006). +Daar was besonder skerp reaksie vanuit die geledere van die +HCM Fourie Stigting teen die WARC, die Kommissie van +die AKV se hantering van die saak asook individuele lede +van die Kommissie. Dit is duidelik dat die gebeure rondom +die Colloquium en die besoek van WARC ’n diep en ernstige +vertrouensbreuk tussen die Kommissie van die AKV en ’n +sekere deel van die Hervormde Kerk lidmate veroorsaak het. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 5 of 16 +Die vertrouensbreuk word breedvoerig deur A.D. Pont +(2013b), in sy reaksie op Besluit 54, verwoord. Daarin verwys +hy onder andere na die gebeure van 2006: +Daar is op gewys dat die Kommissie van die AKV al in 2006 +besluit het om ’n nuwe koers in te slaan. Die pad wat die +Hervormde Kerk geloop het vanaf 1852, het die Kommissie in +2006 by ’n waterskeiding gebring. Die destydse voorsitter van +die Kommissie het glo ‘disdain’ ervaar toe hy sy voorgangers +se menings en optrede nagelees het. Daar is toe gekies om ’n +nuwe pad te gaan en dit was toe glo om aansluiting te soek by +die Engelstalige WARC/WCRC. Daarom kan die Teologiese +Fakulteit aan UP seker maar verengels en is ook die vak +Kerkgeskiedenis afgeskaf sodat die gewetes nie meer belas sal +word deur die ‘besoedelde verlede’ van die Hervormde Kerk +nie. +Maar nou is daar ook gemeentes en diensknegte van die Heer +van die Kerk wat ook by die waterskeiding uitgekom het en +besluit het dat die prys wat gevra word deur die meerderheid +van die AKV ’n bietjie te hoog is. Daarom is dit nogal vreemd dat +daar so geswets en gedreig word deur die meerderheidsgroep +in die Hervormde Kerk omdat daar gelowiges, diensknegte +van Jesus Christus en gemeentes is wat tevrede is om te bly wat +hulle nog altyd was en nog steeds is: Hervormers wat bly by +die onveranderde Formuliere van Eenheid en met dankbaarheid +die Bybel lees wat hulle, volgens die Nerlandse Geloofbelydenis +(NGB), verstaan as die Woord van God. +Pont (2013b) is verder van mening dat die AKV se besluite +oor apartheid berus op (1) ’n afwykende leer en (2) +bevrydingsteologie. Hy is ook van mening dat die verskillende +denkrigtings in die Hervormde Kerk so wesenlik verskil, +dat dit uitsluitend is. Wie Besluit 54 aanvaar, kan volgens +hom nie meer deel van die ware kerk wees nie. Dit is ook +duidelik dat hy die mening huldig dat die Geloofsbond die +ware voortsetting van die Hervormde Kerk is. Gemeentes +en lidmate wat Besluit 54 steun, het die geloofsband met die +‘ware’ Hervormde Kerk verbreek. +Besluite van die 69e Algemene Kerkvergadering +(2010) +Die 68e AKV (2007) wou geen finale besluit oor die WARC of +apartheid neem nie. Talle gemeentes het beskrywingspunte +ingedien wat beswaar maak teen die aanbevelings van die +WARC afvaardiging. +Tydens die 69e AKV (2010) het die saak weer aan die orde +gekom. Dit was die gevolg van bepaalde gebeure, wat +ook kortliks genoem moet word. Vyf predikante van die +Hervormde Kerk (proff. J. Buitendag, E. van Eck, J.A. Loader, +A.G. van Aarde en Y. Dreyer) het ’n openbare verklaring +uitgereik waarin hulle die teologiese regverdiging van +apartheid verwerp. Die dosente is aangekla deur lede van +Die Verbond/HCM Fourie Vriendekring as sou hulle die +goeie orde in die kerk versteur, kerkskeuring bevorder en +hulle nie onderwerp aan besluite van die (1982) AKV nie +(Van der Merwe 2012:1). +Die saak het voor die Kommissie van die AKV gedien, +waarna al die partye ooreengekom het dat die standpunt van +die dosente (wat bekend geword het as as Besluit 54) aan die +AKV voorgelê sou word vir beoordeling. In die Agenda van +die 69e AKV staan dit as ’n beskrywingspunt van die dosente, +wat foutief is. Beskrywingspunt 54 is deur die Kommissie +van die AKV op die agenda geplaas as deel van die proses +om die konflik te beredder. +Tydens die 69e AKV het 247 (58.8%) predikante en ouderlinge +tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die Hervormde Kerk se +teologiese regverdiging van apartheid in die verlede, strydig +met die evangelie was (NHKA 2010). Besluit 54 van die 69e +AKV het soos volg gelui: +Die 69e AKV maak in die lig van die 68e AKV se besluit dat dit +verkeerd was om ‘n bepaalde regeringsbeleid (apartheid) goed +te praat, onomwonde die uitspraak dat apartheid nie teologies +geregverdig kan word nie. Die kerk verwerp sy goedkeuring +van apartheid omdat dit: +• +in stryd is met die evangelie van Jesus Christus +• +gebaseer is op die idee van onderlinge onversoenlikheid +• +onreg sanksioneer +• +die beeld van God in mense aantas. +Die vergadering beklemtoon die Bybels-teologiese aard van die +uitspraak. (bl. 343–344) +Die 69e AKV het ook met ’n meerderheidstem besluit dat +Ordereël 4 van die Kerkorde (NHKA 1997:69) gewysig +moet word met die weglating van die begrip ‘volkskerk’, +om moontlik soos volg te lees: ‘Die Hervormde Kerk, as +deel van die een, algemene, apostoliese kerk is geroep tot +die verkondiging van die evangelie van Jesus Christus aan +alle mense.’ Die saak is verwys na die komitee wat besig +is om die Kerkorde te herskryf (vgl. Beskrywingspunt 32 +en die daaropvolgende Besluit en Amendement van die +69e Algemene Kerkvergadering soos verwoord in die +Besluitebundel [NHKA 2010:60]). +’n Derde groep besluite wat die AKV geneem het, het te doen +met die ontwikkeling van missionale kerkwees en die herskryf +van die Kerkorde op grond van ’n missionale ekklesiologie. +Ook hierdie besluit, hoewel dit sonder veel bespreking deur +die AKV aanvaar is, het later heelwat kritiek uitgelok omdat +dit strydig is met die tradisionele volkskerklike apostolaat +van die Hervormde Kerk. +Tydens die vergadering het talle afgevaardigdes hulle +teenstem laat aanteken en selfs die vergadering verlaat. +Hierdie drie sake, te wete Besluit 54, Ordereël IV (volkskerk) +en missionale kerkwees is deurlopend gekritiseer vanuit die +kringe van die steedsHervormers, as synde die resultaat van +’n vreemde leer en teologie. +Buitengewone Algemene Kerkvergadering +Op 04 en 05 Oktober 2011 het die Algemene Kerkvergadering +vir ’n buitengewone sitting gekonstitueer. Die Kommissie +van die AKV het die buitengewone AKV byeengeroep om +aandag te gee aan ’n Beswaarskrif wat by die Kommissie +van die AKV ingehandig is. Die Beswaarskrif is ingehandig +op grond van Ordinansie 1.2.1. van die Kerkorde (NHKA + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 6 of 16 +2010:3). Dit lees soos volg: ‘Besware teen leerbeslissings van +die Algemene Kerkvergadering word aan die Kommissie +van die Algemene Kerkvergadering voorgelê.’ +Die Komitee van die steedsHervormers het op 30 November +2010 met die Moderamen in gesprek getree nadat hulle +opgeroep is vir gesprek. Hierdie vergadering is deur bykans +al die kommissielede bygewoon. By dié geleentheid is die +Beswaarskrif deur die beswaarde lidmate en ampsdraers op +die tafel geplaas, maar dit is nie bespreek nie. Op 28 Januarie +2011 het die Kommissie ’n buitengewone vergadering belê +waar verdere aandag aan die Beswaarskrif en die proses +wat gevolg behoort te word, gegee is. Die Kommissie het +na hierdie vergadering ’n Herderlike Skrywe aan al die +gemeentes van die Hervormde Kerk gestuur om hulle van +die beswaar in te lig en hoe die Kommissie die saak verder +gaan hanteer. +Die Kommissie was ook bereid om verteenwoordigers van +die beswaarde lidmate op 18 Februarie 2011 te woord te +staan oor die proses, maar hulle het aangedui dat hulle so +’n gesprek nie nodig ag nie. Die Kommissie het daarna, soos +die Kerkorde daarvoor voorsiening maak, die advies van +verskeie deskundiges oor die saak ingewin en oorweeg. Die +meerderheid van die deskundiges het nie saamgestem met +die wese van die beswaardes se argumente nie, maar almal +was dit eens dat hierdie belangrike teologiese aangeleenthede +is wat verdere debat vereis. +Die Kommissie het die Beswaarskrif tydens ’n werkwinkel +op 04 en 05 Maart 2011 volledig behandel. Daarna is die +Beswaarskrif weereens in debat geneem op 10 en 11 Maart +2011 tydens die Kommissie se geskeduleerde vergadering. +Daar is by hierdie geleentheid weer met die komitee van die +beswaardes gesprek gevoer. +In die oorweging van die saak was dit ’n vraag of Besluit 54 +inderdaad ’n leerbeslissing behels. Omdat Ordereël 1.1.4. +(NHKA 2010:1) stipuleer dat die leer van die kerk ook tot +uitdrukking kom in teologiese uitsprake, het die Kommissie +geoordeel dat die Beswaarskrif wel by ’n AKV kan dien. +Na verdere konsultasie met verskillende rolspelers en +korrespondensie met die beswaarde lidmate en ampsdraers, +is besluit om die Beswaarskrif tydens ’n buitengewone AKV +ter tafel te neem, sodat die Kerk weer die geleentheid kry om +daaroor te besin en besluite te neem. +Die Kommissie het verskeie teoloë versoek om kommentaar +te lewer op die Beswaarskrif. Die teologiese refleksie en +kommentaar is volledig in die Agenda van die buitengewone +AKV opgeneem en kan daar nagelees word. Een van die +kern besware was teen die uitdrukking ‘beeld van God in die +mens’. Die Beswaarskrif het groot gewag daarvan gemaak dat +die uitdrukking ’n afwykende antropologie en versaking van +die reformatoriese leer verteenwoordig. +Miskien kan met een kritiese opmerking teenoor die +standpunt van die Beswaarskrif volstaan word, ’n saak +waarop prof. J.A. Loader die vergadering attent gemaak het: +Calvyn ([1559] 1949) skryf in sy Institusie (III/7/6) soos volg: +Alleen op hierdie manier bereik ons wat nie alleen moeilik is +nie, maar heeltemal teen ons natuur, naamlik om diegene lief +te hê wat ons haat, goed te doen vir kwaad en te seën vir vloek, +deurdat ons onthou dat ons nie moet let op die boosheid van +mense nie, maar moet kyk na die beeld van God in hulle,’n beeld +wat hulle foute bedek en uitroei deurdat die skoonheid en +waardigheid daarvan ons trek om hulle lief te hê en te omhels. +(bl. 191) +Die Beswaarskrif teen Besluit 54 van die 69e AKV (NHKA 2011) +begin deur te wys daarop dat Besluit 54 ‘verteenwoordig +’n leerverandering in ons Kerk en is nie op waarheid en +feite gebaseer nie.’ Die Beswaarskrif het van die standpunt +uitgegaan dat Besluit 54 historiese wanvoorstelling, +prosedurefoute sowel as leerstellige probleme bevat: +Leer: +• +Besluit 54 verteenwoordig vreemde leer aangesien dit stel +dat ‘die beeld van God in die mens is.’ +• +Besluit 54 berus op Bevrydingsteologie omdat dit die +1982 status confessionis van WARC napraat. Die besluit is +beïnvloed deur ‘n ‘ekumenistiese ideologie’. +Historiese wanvoorstelling: +• +Besluit 54 gee ’n wanvoorstelling van apartheid. +Apartheid kan in werklikheid nie veroordeel word nie. +Die Beswaarskrif stel dit soos volg: +Die derde begrondende stelling stel dat apartheid onreg +sanksioneer. Die status confessionis van die WARC +verduidelik hierdie onreg as sou die maatreëls van +afsonderlike ontwikkeling bedoel gewees het om blankes +ten koste van swartes te bevoordeel. Hierdie stelling is nie +waar nie. Hierdie stelling neem geensins die geskiedkundige +gebeurtenisse, ooreenkomste, konvensies en politieke +bepalings in ag nie. (NHKA 2011:38–44) +Prosedure foute: +• +Besluit 54 verwys na ’n besluit van die 68e AKV, wat nie +’n besluit was nie maar slegs ’n aanbeveling. Dit kom neer +op ’n leuen. +• +Daar het nie genoeg memoranda oor die saak in die kerk +gesirkuleer nie. +• +Die besluit is ultra vires omdat daar verwarring was oor +die bedoeling van Besluit 54. +Die buitengewone Algemene Kerkvergadering (NHKA +2011:84–85) moes gevolglik oor die volgende sake uitspraak +lewer: +• +Was Besluit 54 ’n skuldbelydenis of ’n teologiese +uitspraak? Stemming: 308 (66%) stem dat dit ’n teologiese +uitspraak was. +• +Was Besluit 54 ’n leerbeslissing? Stemming: 327(69%) +stem ‘nee’. +• +Was Besluit 54 in ’n verandering aan die Belydenisskrifte? +Stemming: 360 (75%) ‘nee’. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 7 of 16 +• +Was Besluit 54 ’n nuwe belydenis? Stemming: 370 (78%) +‘nee’. +• +Was Besluit 54 ultra vires? Stemming: 315 (67%) ‘nee’. +Die AKV het met ’n groot meerderheid die argumente van +die Beswaarskrif verwerp. As kompromis is ’n nuwe besluit +deur T.F.J. Dreyer, ondersteun deur al die vorige voorsitters +van die AKV, geformuleer wat die besware in die Beswaarskrif +moes aanspreek. Daar is met 256 teen 192 stemme (57%) die +volgende besluit geneem: +Die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika verklaar dat die +politieke beleid van apartheid wat toegepas is in die Republiek +van Suid-Afrika, nie teologies geregverdig kan word nie, en +herroep hiermee alle goedkeuring in die verlede van die beleid +in uitsprake deur die Kerk en namens die Kerk. Dit was in stryd +met die evangelie van Jesus Christus. (NHKA 2011:85) +Daar is ook twee ander belangrike besluite geneem: (1) Die +Hervormde Kerk wil nie modaliteite in sy midde toelaat nie +en (2) die Kommissie van die AKV moet ’n komitee aanwys +om gesprek met beswaarde lidmate te voer, in ’n poging om +groter begrip en verdraagsaamheid te bevorder. Die komitee +is benoem onder leiding van dr. Kobus Labuschagne, maar +kon ongelukkig nie daarin slaag om die konflik te besweer +nie. +Staat van Belydenis +Op 02 Junie 2012 het die steedsHervormers ’n Staat van +Belydenis teen die Hervormde Kerk verklaar. In die nagaan +van die dokumentasie rondom die Staat van Belydenis, het +dit duidelik geword dat daar verskillende tekste is – party +langer en party korter. Die korter weergawe wat die mees +bekende is lui soos volg: +So glo ons – ons kan nie anders nie +Ons onwrikbare geloof in God Drie-enig, ons vashou aan +die Bybel as ons enigste kanon, ons aanvaarding van die +Belydenisskrifte, die Proponentsformule, dring ons daartoe om +te staan by ons geloofsoortuigings. Ons smeekbede is: Help ons, +God. +Indien alle vorme van protes nie suksesvol was nie, is dit nodig +om te bely: Ek distansieer myself en sonder myself af teen hierdie +vreemde konsep en verstaan dit as ’n vreemde leer. Hierdie +belydenis spreek elke lidmaat individueel aan. Elkeen moet self +kies: Waar staan ek? Dit is ons oortuiging dat ons nou by hierdie +punt in die geskiedenis van die NHKA gekom het. +In al hierdie sake wat die eer van God, die verlossing van die +mens en die beloftes van die ewige lewe aanraak en ten opsigte +waarvan ons verplig is om die Here God te gehoorsaam, kan ons +geen toegewing aan die (georganiseerde) meerderheid maak +nie. Buitendien moet in sake waar dit gaan om die eer van God, +ons verlossing uit die sonde en die ewige lewe, elke gelowige +opstaan en homself voor God verantwoord en niemand kan +hierin agter ‘n ander een wegkruip nie. +Saak 1 +Die mens is beelddraer van God ten opsigte van ’n verhouding +met God, ’n opdrag van God en verantwoordelikheid teenoor +God. Die BAKV se besluit dat daar geen vreemde leer +teenwoordig is in 54/69, is nie korrek nie. Die beeld van God +is nie in die mens nie. Ons bely die Godheid van Christus en +ook sy menswording; sy twee nature (ware mens, ware God); +sy maagdelike geboorte; sy plaasvervangende en versoenende +dood aan die kruis. In Christus is God, nie in die mens nie.  +Ons verklaar daarom dat ons in ’n Staat van Belydenis is en dat +die AKV ’n vreemde teologiese konsep as waarheid aanvaar het +deur te stem dat die beeld van God in die mens is. Ons roep +lidmate en ampsdraers van die NHKA daartoe op om te erken +dat die mens volkome sondaar is en dat ons redding buite onsself +in Jesus Christus is.  +Saak 2 +Die BAKV se besluit om 54/69 te behou, verloën die evangelie +van Jesus Christus as die opgestane HERE. Die NHKA het nog +altyd vasgehou aan die evangelie van Jesus Christus wat ons +verlos het uit die mag van sonde en dood. Sedert 54/69 stel die +Kerk dat daar geen ander evangelie is as ‘die evangelie van die +deernis van God’ nie. +Ons verklaar daarom dat ons in ’n Staat van Belydenis is en dat +die AKV ’n teologie verkondig wat nie in lyn is met die Bybel en +die belydenisskrifte nie. Ons roep die AKV daartoe op om terug +te keer tot die belydenis dat Jesus ons red van sonde en dood.  +Saak 3 +Die sake wat nou as die kern van die Kerk aangedui word,maak +van die NHKA ’n organisasie van diensbaarheid. Hierdie +organisasie se doelwitte is dan gemik op sosiale verandering en +nie meer op evangelieverkondiging nie. Dit lyk asof die kerk ’n +oppervlakkige teologie aanhang wat gryp na bemarkingstruuks +om die Kerk te laat ‘oorleef en relevant te wees.’ +Ons verklaar daarom dat ons glo die AKV slaan ’n teologiese +rigting in waar die heil van die mensdom gesoek word, nie in +God nie, maar in die huidige sogenaamde sosiale geregtigheid. +Ons roep die AKV daartoe op om weer die vooruitsig van ’n +wederkoms en die volle rykdom van God se verlossende genade +raak te sien. +Saak 4 +Die sewende gebod, asook die hele Bybel (vgl. Sondag 41 van die +Heidelbergse Kategismus) verstaan die verhouding tussen een +man en een vrou as die ideale verhouding binne die wil van God. +Die Bybel veroordeel homoseksuele verhoudings. +Ons verklaar daarom dat ons in ’n Staat van Belydenis is omdat +die AKV ’n teologie aanhang wat nie erns maak met die Bybel as +die Woord van God nie. Ons roep die AKV daartoe op om terug +te keer tot ’n verstaan van die Tien Gebooie wat in lyn is met die +Bybel en die Belydenisskrifte.  +Saak 5 +Die benadering deur dosente en die predikante van die +AKV wat gestem het ten gunste van ’n interpretasie van +die Belydenisskrifte, weerspreek die Proponentsformule en +Ordinansie 1.1.2. Die gedagte dat die geloofsbelydenisse en +die belydenisskrifte eietyds geïnterpreteer moet word, ontken +die waarheidskarakter daarvan en is meer in lyn met die +vrysinnigheid. +Ons roep die ampsdraers van die NHKA daartoe om te erken dat +ons die belydenisskrifte onderteken juis omdat hierdie geskrifte +in ooreenstemming is met die Woord van God.  +Saak 6  +Binne veral die Teologiese Opleiding het dit mode geword om +die sogenaamde Q-bron en die Thomas-evangelie aan te haal. +Hierdie benadering is slegs moontlik indien die gesag van +die Bybel nie aanvaar word nie en na teologiese antwoorde + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 8 of 16 +gesoek word buite die Bybel om. Op grond van die Bybel bely +ons die Godheid van Christus en ook sy menswording; sy +twee nature (ware mens, ware God); sy maagdelike geboorte; +sy plaasvervangende en versoenende dood aan die kruis; sy +liggaamlike opstanding en sy hemelvaart. +Ons roep die AKV daartoe op om die Bybel as Woord van God te +aanvaar en as die enigste gesagvolle bron vir prediking en norm +vir teologiese navorsing vir die Kerk te erken. Ons verklaar dat +die Kerk in sy goedkeuring en aanvaarding van akademiese +navorsingsresultate en skrywes in amptelike publikasies van +die Kerk wat die teendeel wil verkondig, ’n godslasterlike leer +akkommodeer en selfs beloon. Ons roep lidmate en ampsdraers +van die NHKA daartoe op om te erken dat Jesus Christus waarlik +God en mens is, uit ’n maagd gebore is, aan die kruis gesterf het, +uit die dood opgestaan en na die hemel opgevaar het soos die +Woord duidelik verkondig.  +Saak 7 +Eksodus 20:16 ‘Jy mag nie vals getuienis teen ’n ander gee nie’. +Die negende gebod vereis van ons om in alle gevalle die waarheid +te koester en die leuen te verwerp, ongeag omstandighede en die +prys wat betaal moet word. Indien die Kerk die negende gebod +oortree, het die Kerk homself begin sien as ’n grootheid wat +uitstyg bokant God en God se gebod. +Ons verklaar daarom dat ons in ’n Staat van Belydenis is en +dat die AKV die oortreding van die negende gebod goedkeur +en so die kern van die evangelie aantas. Die Kerk moet erken +dat die 68e AKV geen besluit oor politieke beleid geneem het +nie. Die AKV moet beide die aanvaarding van beskrywingspunt +54 van die 69e AKV, asook die opvolg besluit van die BAKV, +onvoorwaardelik herroep. (steedsHervormers 2012e) +Hierdie Staat van Belydenis is tydens die onlangse vergadering +van die Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes bekragtig. +Dit verwoord die leergeskil tussen die Geloofsbond en die +NHKA en vorm tegnies die basis waarop die onafhanklike +gemeentes hulle van die NHKA distansieer. +Die rol van die media +Ek meen dat dit van uiterste belang is dat ons sal kennis neem +van die rol wat die openbare, kerklike maar veral die sosiale +media in onlangse gebeure gespeel het. Vir die eerste keer in +die geskiedenis van die Hervormde Kerk, is sosiale media +aangewend om die kerk in ’n bepaalde rigting te laat beweeg. +Lidmate wat beswaard was het briewe aan die pers gerig, +’n webblad is gevestig1 en sosiale media is bykans daagliks +benut om standpunte te stel en besluite van die kerk te +kritiseer.2 Al die korrespondensie, artikels, koerante, video’s +en tydskrifte was vir lidmate deur die internet beskikbaar. +Deur ’n knoppie op die rekenaar te druk, kon enigeen ’n +standpunt stel, kritiek uitspreek of daarvan kennis neem. +’n Enkele voorbeeld (ter illustrasie) vind ons in Koers van +Desember 2012 onder die opskrif ‘Red die Hervormde Kerk +se karakter’: +Die besluit van die Algemene Kerkvergadering in 2010 en 2011 +voer die Sosialistiese Teologie teenoor die Bybelse Teologie in +1.http://www.steedshervormers.co.za/ +2.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Steedshervormers/118368828245168 +ons Kerk in. Met die dwaling dat elke mens in hom/haar iets +Goddelik het, sleep die wêreldekumene ons nou ook in om ons +afsonderlike bestaan as volk as teen die evangelie te verwerp. +Met die besluit dat al ons Kerk se besluite voorheen oor apartheid +teen die evangelie was! (Kotzé 2012) +Die Kommissie van die AKV is in die openbare en kerklike +media, briewe, Facebook en hofaansoeke verwyt en beskuldig +van ’n geheime agenda, bedrieglike optrede, viktimisasie en +onkerkordelike optrede. ’n Enkele voorbeeld (waarvan daar +letterlik tientalle bestaan) sal die punt illustreer. Dr. Johan +Otto skryf in reaksie op Omsendskrywe 17/2012 op die +webblad van steedsHervormers (2012d) die volgende: ‘Dit is +nou tyd dat die eiegeregtige en aanmatigende magsvergryp +van die KommAKV ontmasker word.’ Hy kritiseer die +omsendskrywe punt vir punt en verwerp dit in baie skerp +bewoording. Die kommentaar was vir alle lidmate beskikbaar +om te lees. +Ook op ander webtuistes het die saak besonder baie aandag +getrek. Hier word slegs twee voorbeelde genoem ter +illustrasie. Op die webblad van die Noordoos-Transvaalse +Boerekommando, ’n verregse organisasie, lewer die +webblad redakteur Manie (2012) kommentaar op Neels +Jackson se berig in Beeld dat Gemeente Meyerspark hulleself +onafhanklik verklaar het van die Hervormde Kerk. Hy plaas +sy kommentaar onder die opskrif ‘Leraar of Leuenaar?’ en +skryf dan: +Baie mense weet nie hoe ’n klomp Godloënaars van die sinodes +en predikante is nie. Ek is in besit van ’n video wat skelm geneem +is in die sinode vergaderings en dit is skokkend om te hoor wat +daar bespreek word. Onder andere dat die Seun van God nie +opgestaan het en opgevaar het na die hemel nie, ‘maar dat hy +deur die honde opgevreet is’, en dat dit net ’n miete in die mens +se kop is dat hy opgevaar het, dit is hoekom hulle hom nie by sy +graf kon vind nie! So is daar ook nog ’n paar ander stellings wat +gemaak is. Maar nee, hoekom sal Dominee (demoon) nou lieg? … +Hoeveel van hulle is Vrymesselaars, selfs by die teologiese skool +pryk die Vrymesselaars tekens volop daar en besoek hulle ook +die hole van die Vrymesselaars. Ek sal binnekort die video op die +web plaas. Ek dink die tyd dat ons as Volk ’n verootmoedigings +dag moet uitroep is ’n noodsaaklikheid, landswyd! +Reeds in 2009, in die aanloop tot die 69e Algemene +Kerkvergadering, lewer dr. S.H. Gregan (voormalige +ouderlingslid van die Kommissie van die AKV) kommentaar +op gebeure in die Hervormde Kerk onder die opskrif +‘Nog ‘n Afrikaner-bastion val’. Op die webblad van die +Afrikaner Volksparty skryf hy oor liturgiese vernuwing, ’n +gesamentlike verklaring tussen die NG Kerk en Hervormde +Kerk, die WARC en kom dan tot die gevolgtrekking: +Dit was ’n eer om as ‘Hervormer’ bekend te kon staan. Dit is +egter net ’n dwaas wat sal vasklou aan ’n naam en vergange +se herinneringe. Ook die naam sal op aandrang van die vyand +uiteindelik moet verdwyn omdat ook dit ‘aanstoot’ gee. Soos +die Nasionale Party in 1969 en weer in 2008 herstig moes word, +so sal die dag aanbreek dat Christen-nasionaliste weer ’n nuwe +(Hervormde) kerk sal stig. Daardie dag kom vinnig nader. Dit +is immers ons, wat in ’n eie afsonderlike Godgegewe identiteit +van ons volk glo, se taak en ons roeping. Hierdie nuwe kerk sal + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 9 of 16 +nie verskoning vra vir apartheid nie. En hierdie lidmate sal weet +dat diskriminasie, ja die voorkeur vir die eie, ’n lewenswet is +waarsonder geen volk ’n identiteit kan hê en homself kan betuig +nie. Ja, waarsonder geen volk kan voortbestaan nie. (Gregan +2009:1) +Ook skriftelike kommunikasie deur middel van briewe en +e-pos getuig van ’n totale vertrouensbreuk wat plaasgevind +het. Op 13 Augustus 2012 ontvang die Kommissie van die +AKV die volgende brief van die Hervormde Kerkvereniging, +waarin die volgende stelling gemaak word: +Maar dit is blykbaar niks vreemd vir die Kommissie om openlik +te lieg nie, soos maar weer uit die skrywe van 3 Augustus blyk. +Hoe moet die res van die Kerk opkyk na die leiers van die Kerk +as hulle so openlik die waarheid verdraai en so onchristelik +optree? A nee a – julle noem julleself dan predikante. (NHKA +2012a:9) +Die Kommissie van die AKV se kommunikasie met die +kerk en steedsHervormers is dikwels gekritiseer, ook uit eie +geledere. Dit was óf te min, óf te veel , óf te hardvogtig óf te +sagmoedig. Die Kommissie is verkwalik omdat daar te laat +en te stadig gekommunikeer is. Die interne spanning in die +Kommissie het duidelike kommunikasie bemoeilik en selfs +gelei tot uiteenlopende standpunte wat deur verskillende +lede van die Kommissie gestel is. Die uiteenlopende +standpunte het uiteindelik daartoe gelei dat dr. J.M.G. Storm +(skriba) en oudl. J. Oberholzer uit die Kommissie bedank het. +Die Kommissie het van amptelike kommunikasiekanale +gebruik gemaak om bepaalde standpunte te stel, te wete die +kerklike tydskrifte, omsendskrywes en herderlike skrywes. +Die Kommissie het ook toestemming verleen dat ’n amptelike +Facebookblad vir die kerk gevestig word.3 +Daarbenewens het lede van die Kommissie sedert 2010 meer +as 150 keer formeel of informeel met lidmate, ampsdraers, +predikante, vergaderings van die ampte en byeenkomste +gepoog om eensgesindheid te bevorder en inligting deur +te gee (vgl. NHKA 2013:143–160). Die huidige Kommissie +en Moderamen het in die 3-jaar termyn 48 keer vergader +om aan die sake aandag te gee. Van die vergaderings moes +op geheime plekke plaasvind, omdat sensitiewe inligting +(bv. oor hofsake) uitgelek het en op Facebook verskyn het +selfs nog voor die vergadering afgehandel was. Dit het die +Kommissie genoodsaak om ’n Litigasie Komitee aan te wys +met ’n mandaat om sake te hanteer, met beperkte inligting +aan die Kommissie van die AKV. +Die Kommissie het deurlopend gepoog om die Kerkorde te +interpreteer en toe te pas. Daaroor was daar groot verskil +van mening, onder andere oor die saak van lidmaatskap. Die +Kommissie was van meet af oortuig daarvan dat bepaalde +optrede van die steedsHervormers hulle lidmaatskap van die +Hervormde Kerk de iure en de facto ophef. +Dit is ook opvallend hoe dikwels kommunikasie in die +sosiale media getuig van foutiewe inligting, uiteenlopende +3.https://www.facebook.com/groups/ 2756611001/?fref=ts +interpretasies van gebeure en selfs moedswilligheid. Dit kan +met enkele voorbeelde geïllustreer word, soos die volgende +oor ’n ‘nuwe teologiese rigting’: +Op etiese vlak kom die nuwe teologiese rigting aan die orde in +die manier waarop die huwelik in gedrang gebring word. Vele +voorbeelde sou gestel kon word, maar die duidelikste voorbeeld +is die beskerming wat die Hervormde dosente bied aan ’n +homoseksuele student. Op hulle aandrang is die student wat in +’n openlike intieme verhouding met ’n man is, steeds student +van die Kerk, studeer hy einde 2012 af en sal dan vroeg 2013 +beroepbaar wees. Die dosente se etiek is ver verwyderd van dit +wat ’n geslag gelede die oortuiging was. Daarmee saam het die +fakulteit as oop ekumeniese instansie geen duidelike Hervormde +inslag nie. (steedsHervormers 2012c) +Opvallend genoeg is die inligting nooit reggestel of vermeld +dat die student op daardie stadium reeds van kursus +verander het en nie beroepbaar gestel kón word nie, óf dat +dit primêr die verantwoordelikheid van die Kuratorium is +om sodanige besluite te neem nie. +Van die Kommissie van die AKV word die volgende gesê: +Op kerkleiding vlak was dit reeds onder die leiding van prof. +Johan Buitendag duidelik dat ’n groep binne die Kerk ’n nuwe +rigting ingeslaan het en die Kerk wou saamneem. Die selektiewe +Colloquium was ’n belangrike rigtingaanduider. Een van die +sake aldaar was die beplande eenwording (struktureel) met die +HKSA. Die Kerk was nie reg vir die vinnige verandering van +rigting nie en die Buitendag Kommissie is uitgestem. Agter die +skerms is daar steeds hard gewoeker en dit was veral ten opsigte +van sake rondom ekumene waarop die meeste fokus geplaas is. +(steedsHervormers 2012c) +Uit hierdie aanhaling is dit duidelik dat lidmate van +inligting voorsien is wat beskou kan word as disinformasie. +Strukturele eenwording tussen die Hervormde Kerk en +die Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike-Afrika (HKSA), tans die +Maranatha Reformed Church of Christ (MRCC) was en is +nog nooit deur die Kommissie beplan nie, behalwe dat dit +tydens die WARC besoek bespreek is sonder om dit verder +te voer. Die ‘Buitendag Kommissie’ is ook nie uitgestem nie, +maar was volgens die rotasiebeginsel, soos voorgeskryf in +die Kerkorde, nie weer verkiesbaar nie. +Uit hierdie enkele voorbeelde is dit duidelik dat die onlangse +gebeure in die Hervormde Kerk gekenmerk is deur ’n +ongekende vlak van informasie en disinformasie, waardeur +lidmate deurlopend blootgestel is aan opponerende +en verwarrende standpunte. Hierdie nuwe vorme van +kommunikasie het die kerklike speelveld onherroeplik +verander. Kerklike gebeure, debat en besluitneming vind +nie meer agter toe deure van vergaderings op grond van +teologiese refleksie plaas nie, maar het deel geword van die +openbare debat. Lidmate, selfs dié met min of geen begrip +van teologiese vraagstukke, lewer uitsprake oor teologie as +wetenskap. Drukgroepe, modaliteite en bewegings kan met +relatief min moeite organiseer en uitsprake maak wat wyd +kommunikeer. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 10 of 16 +Die Hervormde Kerk sal nou en in die toekoms daarmee +moet rekening hou dat elke debat ’n openbare debat sal +wees. Die postmoderne tydsgees, waarin alle institusionele +gesag óf bevraagteken óf geïgnoreer word, is ’n werklikheid +waarmee die Hervormde Kerk rekening sal moet hou. Ek is +ook van mening dat die gebruik van media ’n beduidende +rol gespeel het in die verdeeldheid wat toenemend sigbaar +geword het. +Die rol van organisasies +Kort na die 69e AKV is daar begin om lidmate wat gekant +was teen Besluit 54, bymekaar te bring en die verset teen +Besluit 54 te koördineer. Die rol wat verskillende organisasies +hierin gespeel het, mag nie onderskat word nie. Daar was +veral drie organisasies wat ’n belangrike rol gespeel het in +onlangse gebeure, te wete die HCM Fourie Vriendekring, +die Hervormde Kerkvereniging en steedsHervormers. Daar +kon nie inligting verkry word oor die JHWH Hervormde +Studente Vereniging nie, aangesien die webblad geblokkeer +word. Ek is wel bewus daarvan dat pogings aangewend is +om teologiese studente op kampe te neem om hulle in te lig +oor die afwykende tendense in die kerk. +Die ruimte ontbreek om op die geskiedenis en grondwet van +elkeen van hierdie organisasies in te gaan. Dit kan aanvaar +word dat bogenoemde organisasies instrumenteel daartoe +was dat die kerklike afskeiding kon plaasvind. Regsgeleerdes +het predikante en gemeentes van advies bedien oor +moontlikhede hoe ‘onafhanklikheid’ bestuur kan word. +Hoe het die proses verloop? +Die sosiale media, advertensies in koerante, internet en Koers +is benut om lidmate op te roep na byeenkomste waar verset +teen Besluit 54 gekoördineer kon word. Die ‘reëlingskomitee’ +rig die volgende uitnodiging aan lidmate in Koers van +Desember 2012: +Gemeentes en lidmate kom op streeksbasis op 28 Januarie en 4 +Februarie dwarsdeur die Kerk byeen om vas te stel wat ons te +doen staan. Die Noord-Kaap kom byeen op Vryburg 10 vm 28 +Januarie by die Hervormde Kerk. Dr. Malan Storm, gewese Skriba +van die Algemene Kerkvergadering, sal DV ook teenwoordig +wees. U dringende teenwoordigheid kan verhinder dat u vir die +res van u lewe al ongelukkiger word oor die aftakeling van die +karakter van ons volkskerk. Maak hierdie oproep wyd bekend in +u gemeente. (Kotzé 2012:1) +Persone soos dr. Johan Otto (Gemeente Premiermyn) het deur +Suid-Afrika gereis, vergaderings gehou en op die wyse is +kritiek teen die besluite van die AKV en die handelinge van die +Kommissie van die AKV wyd bekend gemaak. Voortvloeiend +uit hierdie byeenkomste, het ’n tweede organisasie tot stand +gekom, onder die naam steedsHervormers. Dit het uitgeloop +op ’n formaliseringsvergadering (steedsHervormers 2012b) +wat op 02 Junie 2012 te Gemeente Meyerspark plaasgevind +het (vgl. steedsHervormers 2012c). By die vergadering is dr. +Otto as voorsitter van steedsHervormers verkies. In Koers +van Januarie lees ons: +Op grond van die huidige geloofskrisis in die Kerk besluit ons as +gemeentes en lidmate van die NHKA om ons te versamel as ’n +konfessionele groep met die naam ‘steedsHervormers’. Hiermee +wil ons te kenne gee dat: +• +ons steeds onsself as lidmate van die NHKA sien en die +voortsetting van die NHKA wil dien; +• +ons nie onsself van die NHKA wil wegskeur nie; +• +ons onsself vereenselwig met die teologiese tradisie van die +NHKA. +As steedsHervormers wil ons getrou bly aan die trotse tradisie +en geskiedenis van die Hervormde Kerk. (steedsHervormers +2012a) +Ten spyte van hierdie aanvanklike standpunt (in Januarie +2012) dat die steedsHervormers as deel van die Hervormde +Kerk wil leef en werk, het dit teen Januarie 2013 dermate +verander dat die Geloofsbond van Onafhanklike Hervormde Kerke +gestig is. Die stigting van die Geloofsbond is voorafgegaan +deur ’n proses wat feitlik identies in elke ‘onafhanklike’ +gemeente verloop het: +• +Die gemeente word ingelig van afwykende leer in die +Hervormde Kerk. +• +Die gemeente word ingelig dat die kerk se besluit oor +apartheid hulle blootstel aan regstellende aksie en dat +hulle eiendom as deel van ’n restitusieprogram geëis kan +word. Die gemeentevergadering besluit in beginsel dat +die gemeente se eiendom ‘beveilig’ moet word. +• +Die gemeente se predikant bedank as predikant en +lidmaat van die Hervormde Kerk en herbelê sy pensioen. +• +Die gemeentevergadering stig ’n vereniging en die +gemeente se eiendom word na die vereniging oorgedra +om dit te ‘beveilig’. +• +Die gemeente verklaar homself onafhanklik van die +Hervormde Kerk. +Op grond van regsadvies van advokate, was gemeentes +onder die indruk dat hulle outonoom bestaan en as +selfstandige regspersoon besluite kan neem en kan beskik +oor eiendom sonder inspraak van die Raad van Finansies, die +Ringskommissie of Algemene Kommissie. Die basiese fout +in hierdie proses was dat van die veronderstelling uitgegaan +is dat slegs die Kerkorde ter sake is, terwyl reformatoriese +kerkregering op vyf bronne berus (in volgorde van +belangrikheid): Die Woord van God, Belydenisskrifte, +die Kerkorde, besluite van vergaderings van die ampte en +kerklike usansie. +Die hele proses van predikante wat bedank en as +‘onafhanklike predikant’ gemeentes bedien, vervreemding +van eiendom en onafhanklikheid van gemeentes is nie net +strydig met die bepalings van die Kerkorde nie, maar ook +besluite van vergaderings en kerklike usansie. Dit het die +situasie bykans onhanteerbaar gemaak, aangesien die +Kerkorde en die opsighoudende vergaderings van die +Hervormde Kerk willens en wetens verontagsaam is. Hierdie +proses en aannames sal eersdaags in die hof getoets word. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 11 of 16 +Ideologiese verskille +In sy toeligting van die Beswaarskrif tydens die Buitengewone +Algemene Kerkvergadering, het dr. Johan Otto die volgende +stelling gemaak: +Ek wil dit nou aan u onomwonde stel, selfs ons eerste reaksie ’n +jaar gelede was nie teen die apartheid deel van die besluit wat +geneem is nie. Ons het ’n probleem met die teologie wat so ’n +besluit moontlik maak, ongeag die konteks waarin die besluit +geneem is, dit dui op ’n nuwe teologie wat nie in die Hervormde +Kerk was nie. Hierdie nuwe teologie is op twee maniere vir ons +onaanvaarbaar: Die eerste is dat dit ’n bevrydingsteologie is +en daaruit loop dat dit teologie vervlak tot ’n horisontale saak. +(NHKA 2011:75) +In publikasies en openbare optrede van die steedsHervormers +is hierdie standpunt voortdurend herhaal: Al handel +Besluit 54 oor apartheid en die teologiese regverdiging van +apartheid, gaan die besware teen Besluit 54 nie om apartheid +nie maar om die teologie wat agter Besluit 54 sit. Is dit egter +die volle prentjie? Uit die volgende voorbeelde sal dit duidelik +word dat dit óók om apartheid gaan. +As eerste voorbeeld kan verwys word die Beswaarskrif wat +gedien het by die Buitengewone Algemene Kerkvergadering +(BAKV). Daarin word die volgende stelling gemaak: +1.6. Ons maak beswaar daarteen dat afsonderlike ontwikkeling +as die vreedsame naasbestaan van mense sondermeer veroordeel +word. Hierdie besluit spreek teen homself. Aan die een kant +word afwysend gepraat van goedkeur/afkeur en direk daarna +word ’n besondere deel van ‘n vorige staatsbestel se politiek tot +kettery verklaar. (NHKA 2011:38) +Hieruit is dit duidelik dat die Beswaarskrif nie net die +teologie agter Besluit 54 wil aanspreek nie. Afsonderlike +ontwikkeling (apartheid) word gedefinieer as ’n ‘vreedsame +naasbestaan van mense’ en die veroordeling daarvan word +afgewys. Hierdie stelling van die Beswaarskrif, dat apartheid +vreedsame naasbestaan bevorder, hanteer apartheid as +’n teoretiese aangeleentheid. Die praktyk van gedwonge +verskuiwings, politieke moorde en ekonomiese ontmagtiging +deur werkreservering word nooit aangespreek nie. Die +kritiese vraag is egter: Kan ons teorie en praktyk op die wyse +skei? +’n Tweede voorbeeld: Otto, as voorsitter van die +steedsHervormers, skryf in Koers van Januarie 2012 die +volgende: ‘Naskrif: Koers is nou die amptelike mondstuk van +steedsHervormers. Die elektroniese weeklikse uitgawe word +eersdaags geloods’ (Otto 2013:1). +’n Amptelike mondstuk van ’n organisasie publiseer sekerlik +persoonlike menings van mense. Die organisasie bly egter +verantwoordelik vir dit wat gepubliseer word. Indien die +redakteur standpunte stel wat strydig met die organisasie +of kerk se standpunte is, kan verwag word dat sulke +standpunte in ’n volgende uitgawe reggestel of gerepudieer +sal word. Indien nie, meen ek dat ’n mens redelikerwys kan +aanvaar dat die organisasie homself met die standpunte van +die redakteur vereenselwig. +In Koers (Mei 2012) lees ons die volgende kritiek teen +‘integrasie’ en die huidige regering uit die pen van die +redakteur, prof. H.G. van der Westhuizen (2012b): +Dit is natuurlik waar dat baie swartes nog, gebonde aan die +kringloop van die natuur, nie vooruit dink en beplan en werk +om ’n ideale lewensverheffing in die toekoms te bereik nie. As +hulle dan in hulle bestaansekonomie die geleentheid kry om te +steel, doen hulle dit – al ís hulle ook al op ministersvlak. … Dit ís +sekerlik nie die standpunt van alle swartes nie, maar as jy langs +’n swart gemeenskap (lokasie, plakkersdorp of township) woon, +wonder jy dikwels hoe ’n groot persentasie die lewenswyse +van steel beoefen. … Saambestaan op die basis van integrasie +vereís die aflegging van jou lewens- en wêreldbeskouing, +jou waardering van eie kultuurgoedere, jou hoogstaande +arbeidsetiek, jou vooruitbeplanning en najaging van ideale en +nog soveel meer. +Die waardering vir apartheid (en uitgesproke rassisme) in +die amptelike mondstuk van die steedsHervormers (Oktober +2012) word nog duideliker wanneer Van der Westhuizen +(2012a) die volgende skryf: +Sedert die revolusie van 1994 in ons staat het die uitdrukking van +die reënboognasie herhaaldelik voorgekom en bekend geword. +Waarskynlik lê die oorsprong daarvan by die staatskapelaan dr. +Desmond Tutu, die emeritus Anglikaanse aartsbiskop. +Kyk mens na die kleure van die reënboognasie ís dit allermins +’n mooi prentjie. Want swart, wat as kleur nie eers in ’n +reënboog voorkom nie, wil al die ander kleure opvreet. Dit ís +net swartbemagtiging vroeg en laat. Is swartes dan nie in staat +om eers in ’n vrye land op meriete hulle merk te maak in die +ekonomie, die staatsdiens, die provinsies, die munisipaliteite, +die skole, hospitale, kolleges, universiteite, verenigings, polisie, +weermag, boerdery, sport en so meer nie? +Moord, verkragting, roof, misdaad neem hand oor hand toe. +Die skokkendste berigte van uitbuiting, onaanvaarbaarhede +en Afrikanervolksontbening trek ’n swart streep deur ’n +ordentlike beskaafde samelewing. Geestelike weë op morele +hoë grond word opgebrokkel soos die slaggate ín ons gewone +teerpaaie. Waar ís die prag en skoonheid, die estetiese van ’n +reënboognasie? Dit ís galge humor en karikatuur. +Die +gesonde +eiesoortige +ontwikkelingsgedagte +wat +die +grondslag van afsonderlike ontwikkeling op staatkundige +gebied was, was eerder ’n beeld van die reënboog. Wanneer die +verskillende swart volke in Suider-Afrika elkeen hulle eie staat +met eie kultuurinhoude, taal en lewensbestane sou hê, naas en +in harmonie met Afrikaner, Kleurlinge en Indiër regerings en +groeibodems, sou dit wel kon kwalifiseer as ’n reënboogstatery +van Suider-Afrikaanse nasies. +Dit is ook opvallend dat Die Afrikaner, lyfblad van die +Herstigte Nasionale Party (HNP), breedvoerig en in talle +uitgawes aan die Besluit 54 aandag gegee het. In beriggewing +in die uitgawe van 03–09 Februarie 2012, geskryf deur Anita +Morkel (2012), word verwys na korrespondensie vanaf die +Kommissie van die AKV aan lidmate wat, soos sy dit noem, +‘beswaar maak teen die besluit dat apartheid sonde is.’ +Berigte in Die Afrikaner laat min twyfel dat die goedkeuring +of afkeuring van apartheid ‘n prominente deel van die debat +uitmaak. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 12 of 16 +Dit is bekend dat verskeie van die leiersfigure van die +steedsHervormers aktiewe lede van die HNP of die +Afrikaner Volksparty was en is. Wanneer die webblaaie van +die partye besoek word, figureer van die genoemde persone +prominent. Die betrokke politieke partye is steeds ten gunste +van selfbeskikking en selfregering vir die Afrikanervolk in ’n +blanke gebied. +Standpunte van individuele lidmate dui ook daarop dat die +saak van apartheid vir hulle van kardinale belang was en is. +Die Kommissie van die AKV het verskeie briewe in ontvangs +geneem, waarvan ek gedeeltes uit een as voorbeeld aanhaal +(vgl. J.S. Knoesen [2012] aan die Skriba, Kommissie van die +AKV, gedateer 07 September 2012): +Dit is tog mos ’n beginselsaak wat ons naby aan die hart lê +en dat indien van ons blanke kerk slegs in die geringste wyse +afgewyk word, sal ons sonder die minste huiwering of verdere +waarskuwing uit die Kerk bedank. En ek glo, en ek kan sien, +want ek is elke Sondag in die Kerk, dat daar alreeds heelwat +lidmate uit die Kerk bedank het … sodat ek en andere soos ek +wat ons blanke kerkbeginsel eerste stel, die nuwe sogenaamde +verwerping van apartheid met alles tot ons beskikking kan beveg. +… U valse bewering dat apartheid soos ons dit sedert die ontstaan +van Suid-Afrika ken en beleef het ‘nie teologies geregverdig kan +word nie’ is totaal onwaar en onsinnig. Apartheid is ’n leefwyse +om blankes teen oorrompeling en uitwissing deur ander rasse te +beskerm en het niks met teologie te doen nie. … Julle het geen +reg om nou julle voorgangers in die Kerk se beleid te herroep nie. +… Inderdaad, dit was as gevolg van die uitstekende beleid van +apartheid of afsonderlike ontwikkeling dat die Kerk tot stand +gekom het en gegroei het tot die Kerk wat dit vandag is. +Die brief, wat in my besit is, spreek vanself. Miskien net +die een opmerking: Die lidmaat beweer dat die Hervormde +Kerk ‘het tot stand gekom en gegroei as gevolg van die +uitstekende beleid van apartheid.’ ’n Duideliker voorbeeld +van volksteologie en burgerlike godsdiens sal mens nêrens +vind nie. +Op 02 Junie 2012 het die steedsHervormers (2012e) ’n +status confessionis teen die Hervormde Kerk uitgereik. In +die dokument word die volgende ten opsigte van die kerk +se besluit oor apartheid gestel: ‘Die BAKV se besluit om +54/69 te behou, verloën die evangelie van Jesus Christus +as die opgestane HERE.’ Die Staat van Belydenis is tydens +die formaliseringsvergadering deur die Geloofsbond van +Hervormde Gemeentes bekragtig en gehandhaaf. Die +teologiese implikasies van Saak 2 in die Staat van Belydenis +is ingrypend: +• +Die Hervormde Kerk se besluit dat apartheid nie teologies +regverdig kan word nie, verloën die evangelie van Jesus +Christus as opgestane Here. +• +Die Hervormde Kerk se besluit dat apartheid nie teologies +regverdig kan word nie, is strydig met die Bybel en die +belydenis van die kerk. +• +Die Hervormde Kerk se besluit dat apartheid nie teologies +regverdig kan word nie, beteken dat die Hervormde Kerk +nie meer bely dat Jesus die Verlosser is nie. +Prakties beteken dit die volgende: Die Hervormde Kerk, as +gevolg van sy besluit oor apartheid, het as kerk van Jesus +Christus ophou bestaan. Daarom beskou die Geloofsbond +homself as die ware voortsetting van die Hervormde Kerk. +Verder: Indien ’n lidmaat of ampsdraer van die Hervormde +Kerk Besluit 54 steun en van mening is dat die Hervormde +Kerk in die verlede gefouteer het om apartheid teologies te +begrond, verloën hy of sy Jesus Christus. +Die vraag is dus: As die lyne so skerp tussen die +‘Christusloënaars’ en ‘regsinniges’ getrek word, is gesprek +nog enigsins moontlik tussen die Hervormde Kerk en die +Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes? Is dit moontlik +om in gesprek te wees, wanneer jou standpunt oor apartheid +bepaal of jy Christus verloën of bely as Verlosser? +Dat die Staat van Belydenis ook om apartheid gaan, is bevestig +deur ’n uitspraak waarin die Adjunk-Persombudsman, +mnr. Johan Retief (2012), wat op 01 Augustus 2012 teen adv. +Renette du Plessis bevind het. In haar voorlegging het Du +Plessis beweer dat die besware van lidmate teen Besluit 54 +nooit oor apartheid gegaan het nie, maar eerder prosedureel +en teologies van aard was. Sy het ook ’n saak daarvoor +uitgemaak dat die woord ‘apartheid’ nie in die Staat van +Belydenis gebruik word nie. +In sy beredenering van die saak het mnr. Retief moeite +gedoen om die wyer konteks in oënskou te neem, deur onder +andere te verwys na opmerkings van ds. Gawie Wolmarans +wat op internet verskyn het: +Ek neem ook hier in ag dat ds. Gawie Wolmarans van die +steedsHervormers onlangs op die internet geskryf het: ‘Ek het +geen twyfel daaroor dat die notulering van teenstemme oor +Besluit 54 (die gewraakte besluit) gedryf is deur ’n woede van +die afgevaardigdes oor die indruk dat die eerbare politieke +bedoelings en optrede van ons ouers en voorouers nou amptelik +deur die Kerk tot sonde verklaar is nie.’ (Retief 2012) +Daarbenewens wys hy ook op teenstrydighede in Du Plessis +se eie argumentvoering. Die bevinding van die Adjunk- +Persombudsman lui dan soos volg: +In haar klag skryf Du Plessis: ‘Ek het nie objektiewe beriggewing +deur mnr. Neels Jackson verwag nie. Ek het egter nie verwag +dat hy die waarheid so blatant sal verdraai nie.’ Sy sê ook: +‘Vir sover mnr. Jackson wil voorgee dat die dag se verrigtinge +en veral die uitroep van die status confessionis met apartheid +te doen het, verkondig hy ’n absolute leuen.’ Ek het bevind dat +Jackson geregverdig was in sy beriggewing. Bogenoemde kwetsende +opmerkings was daarom ongelukkig, ongevraag en sonder basis +– en ek meen dat Du Plessis hom ‘n verskoning verskuldig is +of, op die minste, dat sy haar woorde sal terugtrek. Ek het egter +geen jurisdiksie oor haar nie en kan haar daarom nie dwing om +dit te doen nie. (Retief 2012, [outeur se beklemtoning]) +Ek kan, op grond van historiese navorsing en ook dokumente +wat vrylik op die internet beskikbaar is, nie anders as om +tot die gevolgtrekking te kom dat die vurk in die pad nie net +teologies van aard is nie, maar ook ideologies. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 13 of 16 +Verskille in teologiese denke +Sedert die 69e AKV (2010) is Hervormde dosente verbonde +aan die Fakulteit Teologie, àan die Universiteit van Pretoria +elkeen persoonlik uitgewys in terme van afwykende teologie. +Daarvan was ekself getuie. By ’n geleentheid te Gemeente +Zeerust op 17 Februarie 2013, waar ekself en dr. Johan Otto as +sprekers opgetree het, het hy moeite gedoen om elkeen van +die huidige dosente se afwykende teologie aan die gemeente +te openbaar. In my eie geval, is aangetoon dat ek afwyk van +die tradisionele volkskerklike apostolaat deur missionale +kerkwees te bevorder. +Soos reeds aangetoon, word beweer dat dit nie om apartheid +gaan nie maar om teologiese dwaling wat in die kerk +teenwoordig is. So lees ons in die onafhanklikheidsverklaring +van Gemeente Premiermyn op 22 Oktober 2012: +Die Hervormde Kerk het veral vanaf die 90-jare van die +vorige eeu die Bybels-reformatoriese teologie begin versaak. +Aangevuur deur die drif om deel van die ekumeniese wêreld te +word, en dit ten koste van ons Reformatoriese erfenis, is die Kerk +se teologie vervlak. Hierdie wegbeweeg word direk toegeskryf +aan die afwykende teologiese tendense ten opsigte van die +Skrif, die Belydenis, asook die Reformatoriese liturgie van die +Kerk. Hierdie afwykende tendense word in snelgroeiende +maat waargeneem in die Kerk se teologiese arbeid, publikasies +en elektroniese media, uitsprake van veral geleerde teoloë en +vergaderings. (vgl. NHKA 2012b) +Die fundamentele argument wat aangevoer word, is dat +Besluit 54 vanuit die bevrydingsteologie begrond word. Dit +word soos volg geformuleer: +Ons maak beswaar teen die inhoud van besluit 54 van die 69ste +AKV. Ons het dit teen die teologiese inhoud van die besluit, +asook die haelgeweerskoot-effek van ’n besluit wat duidelik +nie goed oorweeg is nie. Ons teologiese besware hou met die +volgende verband: +• +Die besluit bring die bevrydingsteologie in die Kerk in. +• +Daar word ’n vreemde evangelie verkondig wat nét die +horisontale in ag neem. +Daar word ’n vreemde mensbeeld in die besluit verwoord. +(steedsHervormers 2012f) +Die kerk se teologiese dosente is daarvan beskuldig dat hulle +die Bybels-reformatoriese teologie versaak het en nou ’n +vrysinnige en/of bevrydingsteologie aanhang en propageer. +Die mening word dikwels uitgespreek dat dit die dosente se +‘bevrydingsteologie’ was wat die ‘afwykende’ besluite van +die AKV voorberei en aangestook het. Weereens sal enkele +voorbeelde die saak illustreer: +Die optrede van ons as steedsHervormers binne die Kerk het ’n +lang aanloop gehad en het alles met teologie en weinig met mag +of politiek te make. Op teologiese vlak moet die wending in die +Kerk op twee vlakke aangedui word. Aan die een kant was daar +al hoe meer ’n vrysinnigheid in die teologie te bespeur, met die +boek van AG van Aarde as die duidelikste baken van ’n teologie +wat geloof ondergrawe. Nie net die maagdelike verwekking +van Jesus is in die spervuur nie, maar ook die opstanding. Die +kanon word as oop hanteer (met ander woorde boeke soos die +Thomas-evangelie word byvoorbeeld gesien as ’n belangrike +bron vir teologie-beoefening), en die band tussen Ou Testament +en Nuwe Testament word ontken. Teen hierdie agtergrond is dit +belangrik om net weer te stel dat dit die nuwe teologie is, wat +die besluite wat geneem is, moontlik maak. Die Kerk se nuwe +teologie, soos aangedryf deur die meeste van die dosente, het +ook sy oorsprong in die vrysinnigheid en humanisme wat so eie +is aan die huidige fakulteit aan ’n staatsinstansie. +Besluit 54/69 kon slegs geneem word, indien ’n sekere soort +teologie oorheers. Die bevrydingsteologie wat op die mens +fokus, is die agtergrond van anti-apartheidsbesluite in die +verlede in ander kerkgroepe. +Die opvolgbesluit herroep ook enige ondersteuning aan +afsonderlikheid in die verlede, die saak van bevrydingsteologie +staan soveel sterker in die nuwe besluit. (vgl. steedsHervormers +2012c) +Die implikasie van hierdie argument is dat Besluit 54 nie +vanuit ’n Bybels-reformatoriese teologie begrond kan word +nie. Dit is wel korrek dat daar, histories gesproke, vanuit die +bevrydingsteologie skerp kritiek teen apartheid uitgespreek +is. Dit is tegelykertyd foutief om te redeneer dat teologiese +kritiek teen apartheid beperk is tot bevrydingsteologie. +Na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het talle teoloë, wat op geen +manier as bevrydingsteoloë geklassifiseer kan word nie, +skerp kritiek teen die teologiese regverdiging van apartheid +uitgespreek. ’n Oorsig van dié kritiek kan gevind word in +Hofmeyr, Lombaard en Maritz (2001) asook Van Butselaar +(2001). +Die kritiese vraag is: Hoe reflekteer ons teologies oor +ongeregtigheid wat tydens die apartheidsjare (en wat die +kerk reeds in 2001 erken en bely het) plaasgevind het? Hoe +praat ons binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks oor gedeeltes +in die Ou- en Nuwe Testament wat onomwonde die eis tot +sosiale geregtigheid stel? En wat maak ons daarmee dat +Calvyn besonder baie oor sosiale geregtigheid geskryf het +(bv. sy De Clementia), wat opgevolg is deur Theodor Beza +se De iure magistratuum in subitos, et officio subitorum erga +magistratus (vgl. Dreyer 1996)? ’n Mens hoef maar net iets te +lees soos dr. William Innes (1983) se gepubliseerde proefskrif +Social concern in Calvin’s Geneva, om te besef dat sosiale +geregtigheid volledig deel was van die reformasie (vgl. ook +Dreyer 1995:24–25). +Dit is fundamenteel belangrik dat ’n kerk wat homself as +reformatories beskou, altyd weer hervorm. Hervorming kan +nie lukraak geskied nie. Kerkhervorming kan alleen op grond +van die Skrif en grondige teologies nadenke geskied. Daarom +is dit noodsaaklik dat teologiese standpunte van die verlede +deurlopend krities evalueer en verander word, indien nodig. +’n Klassieke voorbeeld hiervan is die Hervormde Kerk se +besluit in 1976 om vrouens tot die amp toe te laat. +Om krities met die verlede en teologiese uitsprake om te +gaan, is nie per definisie bevrydingsteologie nie – inteendeel +– dit is per definisie reformatoriese teologie. Dit is veral só, +waar ‘n kerk erns maak met die reformatoriese slagspreuk +ecclesia reformata, semper reformanda. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 14 of 16 +Die beskuldiging van dwaalleer is so wyd deur die kerk +versprei, dat dit die dosente van die Hervormde Kerk +genoop het om op 18 Julie 2011 ’n verklaring uit te reik, wat +elkeen met sy of haar handtekening bevestig het. Dit is ook +opgeneem in die Agenda van die 70e AKV: +Ons, die ondergetekende dosente, bevestig met ons handtekening +dat ons steeds, soos in die verlede, die leer van die kerk, soos +uitgedruk in die drie Ekumeniese Geloofsbelydenisse en die +Drie Formuliere van Eenheid, van harte onderskryf. (NHKA +2013:83–84) +Die verklaring deur die dosente het weinig daartoe bygedra +om bewerings van dwaalleer te besweer. Dit het na die +Buitengewone Algemene Kerkvergadering in intensiteit +toegeneem. Een voorbeeld sal dit voldoende illustreer: +’n Klagskrif is op 18 Junie 2012 by die Kommissie van die +AKV teen prof. A.G. van Aarde ingedien. Die klagskrif is +deur die Sekundus Kommissie van die AKV na die klaers +terugverwys, aangesien daar nie ’n broederlike gesprek met +prof. Van Aarde gevoer is nie. Op 06 Augustus 2012 het die +broederlike gesprek tussen adv. Renette du Plessis, br. Johann +Hurter en prof. A.G. van Aarde te Gemeente Wapadrant +plaasgevind (vgl. notule van die broederlike gesprek soos +opgeneem in NHKA 2012a:13–17). Adv. Du Plessis se dogter +was ook teenwoordig. +Tydens die broederlike gesprek is indringende vrae aan +Van Aarde gestel. Sy navorsing oor die historiese Jesus +het pertinent aan die orde gekom. Volgens die notule van +die verrigtinge is daar herhaaldelik aan prof. Van Aarde +‘gevra of hy glo in die opstanding.’ Hy het herhaaldelik die +geloofsbelydenis uitgespreek: +dat hy glo met sy hele wese in Jesus Christus, ware God en ware +mens en in sy opstanding uit die dood. Dit is ’n geloofsbelydenis +wat egter nie histories bewysbaar is nie. (NHKA 2012a:16) +Op die vraag of die klaers sy geloofsbelydenis aanvaar, +was die antwoord dat hulle dit aanvaar, maar nie seker is +dat hulle dieselfde onder geloof verstaan as Van Aarde nie. +Direk na afloop van die slotgebed, wou Van Aarde die klaers +groet. Adv. Du Plessis en br. Hurter het hom ’n handdruk +gegee. Toe hy sy hand na mej. Du Plessis uitsteek was haar +woorde ‘ek is jammer professor, maar ek skud nie hande met +die duiwel nie’ (NHKA 2012a:17). +Dit is opvallend dat die klaers probeer aantoon het dat die +kerk se geloof nie metafories verstaan moet word nie, maar +letterlik en histories. Van Aarde het probeer aantoon dat +‘metafories’ nie beteken dat iets onwaar is nie, maar dat een +saak in terme van ’n ander beskryf en verstaan word. +Uit +die +notule +word +die +prinsipiële +verskille +in +Skrifbeskouing tussen die klaers en Van Aarde duidelik. Die +klaers se argumentasie vertoon ’n sterk konfessionalistiese +Skrifbeskouing wat geen ruimte laat vir die beoefening van +kritiese teologie nie. +Enkele kerkregtelike opmerkings +In Beeld van 30 Julie 2013 verskyn ’n artikel, geskryf deur +Neels Jackson, onder die opskrif ‘13 Kerke wat NHK los, +begin nuut’ (Jackson 2013). Die berig is geskryf na aanleiding +van die eerste vergadering wat die Geloofsbond van +Hervormde Gemeentes wat van 28–30 Julie 2013 te Gemeente +Tuine plaasgevind het. Hy skryf soos volg: +Dertien gemeentes wat die afgelope jaar van die Hervormde +Kerk weggebreek het, het gister ’n ‘nuwe begin’ gemaak met +die eerste vergadering van die Geloofsbond van Hervormde +Gemeentes. Dié vergadering is gehou in die gemeente Pretoria- +Tuine, die eerste gemeente wat besluit het om hom van die +Hervormde Kerk los te maak. +Dr. André Botma, voorsitter, het herhaaldelik beklemtoon dat +dié vergadering nie neerkom op die stigting van ’n nuwe kerk +nie. Die onderskeie gemeentes behou hul onafhanklikheid, maar +die Geloofsbond sal die samewerking tussen die gemeentes reël. +Die Geloofsbond het hom gister verbind tot die Bybel en die +belydenisskrifte. Botma het aan die begin van die vergadering +gesê daar is twee goed waaroor daar konsensus is. Om by die +Geloofsbond in te skakel moet ’n gemeente die belydenisse +onderskryf en die gedagte van ’n volkskerk aanvaar as ’n manier +om die evangelie uit te dra. +Daar is ook besluit om die Staat van Belydenis te handhaaf wat +beswaarde lidmate in 2012 teenoor die Hervormde Kerk verklaar +het. Dié Staat van Belydenis het ’n rits klagtes oor die Hervormde +Kerk se teologie geopper. Dit kom onder meer daarop neer dat +die kerk die evangelie van verlossing in Jesus Christus verruil +het vir ’n horisontale teologie. Dié beskuldiging is herhaaldelik +deur die Hervormde Kerk verwerp. +Die Geloofsbond het ’n komitee aangewys wat ’n kerkorde vir die +Geloofsbond moet opstel en ’n kuratorium wat die opleiding en +toelating van predikante moet hanteer. Geloofsbondvergaderings +gaan jaarliks gehou word. (Jackson 2013) +In die aanloop tot die vergadering van die Geloofsbond, is +daar deurlopend aan die Kommissie van die AKV gestel dat +die ‘onafhanklike’ gemeentes, steeds deel van die Hervormde +Kerk is. Die Kommissie se interpretasie van die gebeure +was dat dit neerkom op ‘n kerklike afskeiding en dat die +gemeentes, predikante en lidmate wat hulleself ‘onafhanklik’ +verklaar, nie meer regtens deel van die Hervormde Kerk is +nie. Hulle het hulleself deur hulle optrede afgesny van die +kerk. Immers, volgens die Handboek van die Afrikaanse Taal +en die Oxford Dictionary beteken die woorde ‘onafhanklik/ +independent’ ‘vry, selfstandig, nie-onderworpe, selfregerend, +outonoom, selfregulerend en finansieel selfversorgend.’ Die +gebeure van 28–30 Julie 2013 bevestig die standpunt van +die Kommissie. In hierdie persberig is die volgende sake +opvallend: +• +Daar word nie ’n nuwe kerk gestig nie. Dit is ’n +Geloofsbond van onafhanklike gemeentes wat hulleself +onafhanklik van die NHKA verklaar het. Dit beteken +dat elke gemeente op sy eie ’n onafhanklike kerk vorm. +Daar is dus vir die huidige nie ’n sinodale verband nie. +Dit word uitdruklik verwoord met die term ecclesia +completa wat telkens gebruik word. Dit is ’n tipiese +kongregasionalistiese en independentistiese model van +kerkwees. + +Original Research +Original Research +http://www.hts.org.za +doi:10.4102/hts.v70i1.2054 +Page 15 of 16 +• +Die 13 betrokke gemeentes (kerke) verbind hulleself aan +mekaar op grond van die Bybel as die Woord van God, +die Drie Formuliere van Eenheid en die volkskerklike +beginsel (’n kerk vir Afrikaners). +• +Die Staat van Belydenis word die onderskeidende kriterium +wat hulle van die Hervormde Kerk onderskei. Dit is ’n +dokument wat bepaalde teologiese uitgangspunte uitspel. +Daarmee saam beoog hulle ’n eie Kuratorium, teologiese +opleiding en ordening van predikante. (Jackson 2013) +Ek meen dat daarmee die proses van afskeiding voltrek is. +Daar kan geen twyfel meer wees dat die gemeentes (kerke) +hulleself buite die Hervormde Kerk gestel het nie. Die gebeure +rondom die stigting van die Geloofsbond van Hervormde +Gemeentes, dui daarop dat die betrokke gemeentes en lidmate +hulle van die Hervormde Kerk afgeskei het. Die vestiging van +’n onafhanklike kerklike struktuur, ’n eie identiteit, naam en +dokumente met konfessionele uitgangspunte kan nie anders +verstaan word as ’n kerklike afskeiding nie. +Daar is talle voorbeelde in die wêreld waar gemeentes hulleself +‘onafhanklik’ verklaar om dan net weer nuwe verhoudings +met ander gemeentes en kerke te vestig. In die geskiedenis +van gereformeerde kerke bestaan daar talle voorbeelde +hiervan, onder andere in Skotland en Nederland in die +negentiende eeu. Die Gereformeerde Kerke (Vrijgemaakt) in +Nederland se ‘vrymaking’ van die Gereformeerde Sinode in +1944 is ’n tipiese voorbeeld. +Ook in die VSA, met die Restoration Movement aan die +begin van die twintigste eeu en die vestiging van die +Independent Churches in 1930, het onafhanklike kerke ’n +algemene verskynsel geword. Die beweging was gekant teen +modernistiese tendense in die teologie en gevestigde kerke. +Volgens Wikipedia (s.a.), het die onafhanklike kerke in die +VSA in 1996 die Independent Fundamental Churches of +America (IFCA) gevorm. +Onafhanklike +kerke +wêreldwyd +vertoon +’n +kongregasionalistiese struktuur. Gemeentes funksioneer +selfstandig van mekaar en enige binding aan ander gemeentes +vind plaas op grond van die belydenisskrifte. Sulke +gemeentes kom dan ooreen om ’n bepaalde struktuur van +samewerking te skep. Ek is van mening dat die Geloofsbond +van +Hervormde +Gemeentes +tipies +kongregasioneel, +konfessionalisties en independentisties funksioneer. +Die Geloofsbond van Hervormde Gemeentes het ook besluit +dat die Kerkorde van die NHKA vir die interim in gemeentes +sal geld, maar dat daar gekyk sal word na ’n nuwe kerkorde. +Die oomblik as ’n eie kerkorde ter sprake kom, praat ons +van ’n eie en selfstandige kerkverband. ’n Kerkorde verbind +gemeentes de iure en organies aan mekaar. Die kerkorde, +soos die belydenisskrifte, gee uitdrukking aan kerklike +eenheid. Wanneer ’n ampsdraer of gemeente in sy besluite +en handelinge die kerkorde negeer, word die eenheid met +die res van die gemeentes opgehef. Dit is die implikasie van +die proponentsformule asook die vrae wat aan lidmate gevra +word tydens die hulle openbare belydenis van geloof. +Kerklike eenheid kom primêr tot uitdrukking in die kerk +se belydenis. In Ordereël 1 van die Kerkorde (NHKA +2010:1–2) is dit baie duidelik dat die belydenis en leer van +die Hervormde Kerk ook in teologiese onderrig en uitsprake +reflekteer. Wanneer die Geloofsbond dit uitdruklik stel +dat daar reeds oor teologiese sake ooreengekom is, dat ’n +eie teologiese opleiding beplan word en dat die AKV se +besluite berus op afwykende teologie wat die opstanding +van Christus verloën, verbreek ook dít die eenheid met die +Hervormde Kerk. +Ek is dus van mening dat die Kommissie van die AKV korrek +was in sy interpretasie van die Kerkorde, dat lidmate wat +hulle met die Geloofsbond identifiseer en daarvan lid is, de +iure opgehou het om lidmate van die Hervormde Kerk te +wees. Die standpunt dat lidmate eers ophou om lidmate van +die kerk te wees as hulle self so te kenne gee, hou nie water +nie. Dit berus op ’n institusionele kerkbegrip. ’n Lidmaat kan +ook deur sy optrede, sonder om formeel te bedank, sy of haar +lidmaatskap van die kerk tot niet maak deur strydig met die +Kerkorde te handel en/of die leer van die kerk te verwerp. +Deur ’n struktuur onafhanklik van die Hervormde Kerk +te vestig wat bindende besluite neem ten opsigte van leer, +teologiese opleiding en orde, het die Geloofsbond van +Onafhanklike Hervormde Kerke as ’n selfstandige ‘kerk’ los +van die Hervormde Kerk gekonstitueer. +Erkenning +Mededingende belange +Die outeur verklaar dat hy geen finansiële of persoonlike +verbintenis het met enige party wat hom nadelig kon +beïnvloed in die skryf van hierdie artikel nie. +Literatuurverwysings +Calvijn, J., [1559] 1949, Institutio christianae religionis, transl.

At the time, “marginality” was beginning to be used + +1 Paper presented at the International Context Group Meeting at the University of Pretoria, June 2001. +Prof Dr Dennis C Duling visited South Africa as Research Associate of Prof Dr Andries G van Aarde, +Department of New Testament Studies, Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria. + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +521 +in Biblical study without much knowledge or understanding of its rich social-scientific +history and many faceted usage. In part, I wanted to fill this lacuna for New Testament +scholars. With Gerhard Lenski‟s macrosocial model of an advanced agrarian society and +models of small groups a backdrop (Lenski 1966; Lenski and Lenski 1987), I developed +three senses of term and conceptuality of “marginality”: + + involuntary marginality, the most familiar meaning of marginality, which in- +cluded not only artisans, the poor and dispossessed, and the unclean, but also +those at any level of the social structure who according to commonly accepted +criteria were denied the opportunity to participate in roles expected of them +(Germani 1980); + voluntary marginality, applied the individuals and groups who choose “outsider- +hood,” that is, to not live according to commonly accepted norms, beliefs, and +behaviors of the larger society (Victor Turner 1969); and + “Marginal Man,” an individual who, because of birth, migration, or conquest is +“doomed” to live between two or more competing normative schemes, that is, two +or more historic traditions, languages, political loyalties, moral codes, or +religions” (Stonequist 1937; developed from Park 1928; 1931). This concept, +typified by the experience of “in between-ness”, was historically the basis for the +other analytical conceptions of marginality. + +At the end of the article I suggested that the Matthean author was a scribe who freely +associated with a Jesus Messianic group (2: voluntary marginality). I noted that this +group included (in Lenski‟s terms) retainers, artisans, peasants, expendable persons, and +the unclean (1: involuntary marginality). Finally, I proposed that the author himself was +an “in between” person, a person of “status incongruity” (3: “Marginal Man”). He found +himself between elite and the lower illiterate strata, between literate scribes and illiterate +peasants, between men and women, between growing normative Pharisaism and his Jesus +group, between Semitic and Greek languages, between Judaean and Greco-Roman +culture – in general between what is old and what is new (13:52). In another article, “The + +Matthew as marginal scribe +522 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +Matthean brotherhood and marginal scribal leadership” (Duling 1995a),2 I suggested that +this “marginal scribe” provided leadership for a voluntary association perceived as +“marginal” by the larger society, but especially the rival Pharisees. + +I have since developed my understanding of both marginality3 and scribes. I now +want to refine my view that the Matthean author was a marginal scribe in a marginal +group in an advanced agrarian society. + +2. +SCRIBES IN THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW AND IN THE +MATTHEAN CONTEXT +Any scholar who takes the view that the author of the First Gospel was a marginal scribe +in an advanced agrarian society must first take a position on how this author evaluates +scribes. This is a matter of some disagreement in Matthean scholarship. The best, +earliest manuscripts of Matthew contain 22 references to the term grammateus, “scribe.”4 +For convenience, I distribute them as follows:5 + + + + + + + + +2 A few scholars have built on my studies; see Arlandson (1997); Vledder (1997 passim); Warren Carter +(1994, 1997b, 2000 passim (esp 18, building on Arlandson‟s modifications, and 43-49); Wainwright +(1999); Hertig (1997, 1999); Senior (1999). Several surveys of recent Matthew research have noted or +highlighted the 1993 paper; see Anderson (1995:173, 174; 1998); Senior (1998a, 1998b, 1999:21). In 1999 +the Matthew Group of the Society of Biblical Literature at Boston devoted its whole session to marginality, +and the 1993 paper was often cited as foundational. + +3 I pursued the social-scientific concepts further in “Marginality revisited,” Context Group, Portland, OR +(March 16, 1990) with special attention to Billson (1988), Berry (1990), and Lee (1995). For recent studies +of scribes, see below. + +4 Mt 23:14, omitted by Aleph, B, and others, is usually judged to be a copyist‟s interpolation based on +Mark 12:38a, 40 (“Beware of the scribes … who devour widows‟ houses and for a pretense make long +prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”) or its parallel, Luke 20:46a, 47.

In five cases, the Matthean scribes stand alone (E). In +two of them, both from Mark (E1A), scribes are clearly opponents. Indeed, most +Matthean references to scribes (16x) yoke them with opponents of Jesus (F, G). Scholars +usually agree that the Matthean author has created the majority of these “opponent links” +(esp G2); that most of them are with the Pharisees (G), the usual Matthean opponents; +and that this result corresponds with that fact that Pharisees are the usual substituted +opponents (C). In this connection, the Matthean author omits the “good scribe” passage +from Mark, that is, the scribe “who is not far from the Kingdom” (Mark 12:32-34). + +This mixed data has produced a debate. Some scholars conclude that the +Matthean author was not clear (Walker 1967; Van Tilborg 1972) or was even confused +about these groups (Cook 1978:58-67); others say that he intentionally distorted Jesus‟ +opponents to show that they formed a “united front.”6 However, David Orton is +representative of scholars of the opposite opinion, such as Saldarini and Overman, when +he writes, “... the scribes per se never stand alone as opponents of Jesus. They are +tainted by the company they keep” (Orton 1989:28). The bad company is especially the +sect of the Pharisees.7 + +I accept this more positive view of the scribes for four reasons: + + Some of Matthew‟s created links about scribes – with Pharisees in polemical +contexts and elders in Jerusalem – are in a general way historically plausible.8 + Matthew omits Mark‟s “good scribe” passage because he has just transformed +him into a Pharisaic lawyer who tests Jesus (Mt 22:34-35 [Mk 12:28]). + +6 Meier (1991:19) thinks that Matthew‟s linking of Pharisees and Sadducees (Mt 3:7; 16:1, 6, 11, 12) is +“unhistorical”. + +7 Saldarini (1988b); Overman (1990); Orton (1989); Saldarini (1988: 267, n 67 also notes Hummel +1963:17-18); Van Tilborg (1972:128-47); Hengel (1985:78-81). Matthew‟s deletions and his replacements +of scribes with Pharisees (see C and G in list above) are related to his persistent anti-Pharisaic polemic (e g, +9:11, 34; 12:24, 38; 15:12; 16:11; 21:45; 22:15, 34-35; 27:62). + +8 Deletions of “scribes” with “chief priests and elders” in Jerusalem settings (21:23 [Mk 11:27]; 26:3 [Mk +14:1] 26:47 [Mk 14:43]; 27:1 [Mk 15:1]) and replacing scribes with Pharisees or narrowing to the Pharisees +(15:12, cp 15:1) in conflict stories about purity (9:11 [Mk 2:16]) are quite plausible. See Saldarini +(1988:160-61); Orton (1989:26). + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +525 + Two of five cases where scribes stand alone and are sometimes said to be +opponents can be interpreted differently. One refers to “their scribes” (Mt 7:29) +which refers to scribes of the Pharisees9 and the other qualifies by the expression +“some of the scribes” (Mt 9:12 [Mk 2:6]). + Most importantly, there are five scribe passages that are arguably positive. In an +ascending order of importance these are: + + Matthew accepts the scribal view in Mark that Elijah is the forerunner of +the Messiah (Mt 17:10 [Mk 9:11]; Matthew interprets him to be John the +Baptist); + only Matthew‟s Jesus‟ says that the scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses‟ +seat and the crowds and disciples should practice and observe what they +teach (Mt 23:2);10 + Matthew alone inserts “a scribe” into the Q sayings about the difficulty of +“following” Jesus (Mt 8:19; cp Q-Luke 9:57-60), and I agree with those +who argue that this saying implies that the follower is a disciple;11 + Matthew changes Q‟s itinerant “prophets and apostles” sent out by Jesus +to “prophets, sages, and scribes” (Q 11:49; Mt 23:34).12 + +9 See “their synagogues” (4:23; 9:35; 10:17; 12:9; 13:54); “your synagogues” (23:34); “their cities” (11:1; +cf 12:38) (Kilpatrick 286; Stanton 1992:119-20, 128; Overman 1990:115). + +10 There is negativity here, but it is related to the link with the Pharisees and, despite their reputed +hypocrisy, their teaching is said to be correct. Matthew is not always totally consistent, of course (see +Hummel 1963:31; Garland 1979:20-22, 46-55). + +11 For the negative view of the scribe in Mt 8:19, see Kingsbury (1978:59-60; 1988; Luz 1990:23; Davies +& Allison 1991:2.41, 53-54; Kiilunen 1991; Stanton 1992a:383; 1992b:127; Carter 1994:52; 1996: 66). +For the positive view, see Saldarini (1988:159). Also, Orton emphasizes that grammatical changes – from +Q‟s indefinite “someone” (tis) to definite “one scribe” (heis grammateus), as well as from Q‟s “another” to +“another of the disciples,” indicate that the scribe is a disciple (Orton 1989:36-37). Robert Gundry (1994b) +has offered the most finely tuned grammatical and redactional analysis, suggesting that there are two +scribes, the first good, the second bad. For a summary of his detailed arguments, see Duling (1995a). On +the “foxes have holes…” saying (v 20), see GTh 86; Kloppenborg (1988:65). + +12 “Prophets” occur 37 times, 20 of which are perhaps redactional. They are generally viewed with favor +(Luz 1989:67). Matthew‟s warnings are about false prophets (7:15-23; cf 24:11-12, 24); (see Bornkamm +1963:39 n 1; Schweizer 1970; Hill 1976; Overman 1990:118). The term “sages” (sophoi) occurs negatively +in Mt 11:25 (= Q 10:21), but they are sages of the world, probably Pharisaic sages (12:2, 14, 24, 38) (so +Suggs 1970: 84-87; see also Overman 1990:117). + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +526 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 + Finally, Matthew composed the formulaic conclusion to the third speech, +which speaks in Mt 13:52 of a scribe “„instructed as a disciple” for the +kingdom of heaven” (Kingsbury 1969:126-27; Gundry 1994:281; Luz +1983:109). Dan Harrington (1991:208) represents a very widespread view +when he writes that this description is a “self portrait of the evangelist.”13 +I agree. + +Thus, while most scribes in Matthew are viewed negatively because of their association +with Jesus‟ opponents, some are seen as positive and, indeed, it is very probable that the +author of the Gospel himself was a scribe. This conclusion allows me to go forward with +the view that the author of Matthew was a marginal scribe in an advanced agrarian +society. + +3. +SCRIBES AS MEMBERS OF THE “RETAINER CLASS” IN AN +ADVANCED AGRARIAN SOCIETY +Macrosociologist Gerhard Lenski (1966, 1988, 1994) holds the view that humans +cooperate in order to survive, that cooperation requires a necessary division of labor in +the production of resources, and that competing self or group interest leads to the quest +for power, or carrying out one‟s individual or social will, even when opposed by others.14 +Those who gain power also gain control of the economic surplus for their own benefit, +despite occasional nods to altruism (for example, concern for the poor). Those in power +also grow in social privilege, though there are other necessary variables. Finally, both +power and privilege yield prestige. A feedback loop shows how prestige feeds still +greater power. In its simplest form, the dynamics of the distribution of valued resources +based on power, privilege, and prestige looks like Model I (Lenski 1966:43): + +13 The representatives of this view are legion. They include Hoh (1926); Bacon (1930: ch 10); Kilpatrick +(1950:111); Stendahl (1968:30, 34 n 4); Hummel (1963:17-18, 26-28); Trilling (1964:146); Strecker +(1966:30, 37, 192); Kingsbury (1973:166, n 149); Overman (1990:116); Orton (1989). + +14 Lenski (1994:10-13) described his perspective as “materialist” in the tradition of archeologist V Gordon +Childe and anthropologist Walter Goldschmidt. Sociological theorist JonathanTurner (1984:54-55, 81, 84, +158-159; Preface ii, 49), who acknowledges that the single most important influence on him was Lenski, +finds Lenski‟s synthesis to be especially attractive. Turner (1984:61-62) adds that the more complex the +society, the more important are political power and material wealth for understanding the dynamics of the +social system. + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +527 + +POWER + + + + + + +PRIVILEGE + + +PRESTIGE + + + + + + + + + +altruism + + + + +x, y, z +Model I: The Dynamics of Distribution Systems (Lenski 1966:45) + + +For Lenski (1988:169; see also 1994:22, 23), “... variations in subsistence technology +have been the most powerful single cause of variations in societal systems of +stratification in the total universe of human societies, past and present.”15 +Acknowledging the importance of other developments (the wheel, the harnessing of +animal and wind power, writing, and the calendar), Lenski thinks that the plow was the +most important technological innovation for the shift from horticulture to agriculture in +the fourth millennium BCE. The invention of the iron-tipped plow in the late second +millennium led to advanced agrarian societies. Economically, there was greater division +of labor, growth in business, commerce, and more migration to increasingly larger cities. +Politically, there emerged the proprietary theory of the state, growth of the elites‟ +administrative staffs and retainers, greater exploitation of peasants, and occasional +peasant unrest. The family lost some of its integrating power, though it was still +economically important. In religion there was greater universalism, religious legitima- +tion of the state, decline in theocracy, and the growth of magic and fatalism. Thus, the +simple agrarian society became an advanced agrarian society, as in Model II: + + + + + + + + + +15 Lenski was aware that subsistence technology was not the whole story.

Within “class” he includes rankings based on +“status groups” (Max Weber: Stände) that develop distinctive subcultures and are likely +to be hereditary. Examples of “class systems” are family, gender, occupation, race, +ethnicity, and religion (Lenski 1966:78).18 In this simple political-economic model “class +systems” are not visible. + +To illustrate some of the class variables, Lenski (1966:82) imagines a fictional +society and ranks people in it based on politics, wealth, occupation, and ethnicity. He +theorizes that there are also differences within these “class” systems, for example, the +degree of complexity, range of vertical stratification (“span”), the pattern of distribution +(“shape”), degree of mobility, and degree of institutionalization (ideologically-based +custom or law). Moreover, each class system can be assigned a different weight of +importance and can be configured differently. All of these variables together form a +distributive system. Lenski‟s fictional distributive system, derived from a Latin American +society, has some parallels to ancient agrarian societies. I have revised his fictional chart +to more closely approximate an ancient advanced agrarian society, adding several class +systems and changing some weights (Chart I). Following Malina‟s view that politics and + +16 Lenski (1988:166) holds it to be fundamental that theory should be based on empirical data. For my +view of models, see Duling (1992:99-102); Arlandson (1997:21-22). I based my hermeneutic of modeling +on Carney (1975); Galt and Smith (1976); Elliott (1986); and Malina (1981, 1986). Models are useful for +creating theory and testing it, but they are not theory. They are most useful for closed systems where +variables are known and can be clearly related (sSee Turner 1984:10). + +17 Most analysts of the ancient Mediterranean prefer the term “status” to “class” because “class” has +Marxist overtones that do not apply to antiquity and there was no large middle class (see Finley 1973:49; +Meeks 1983:53-54; Alföldy 1985:99; MacMullen 1974:89, 94). Rohrbaugh (1984:534, 537, 542) thinks +that Lenski‟s “power class” is acceptable for antiquity if one defines it in terms of a political-economic +interest group that controls the economic surplus. Social theorist Jonathan Turner (1984:146) also prefers +not to use the term “class”; however, he continues to use it because of its prevalence in the social sciences. + +18 Lenski also thinks that class can include “caste” and “estate.” “[A] … class is a caste to the degree that +upward mobility into or out of it is forbidden by the mores ( Lenski 1966:77). “[A] … class is an estate to +the degree that its existence, rights, and privileges are established by law” (Lenski 1966:78). + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +530 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +kinship are the two most important social domains in the Mediterranean world,19 I have +weighted them (and gender) heavily. + +The +Political +Class +System +(W = 10) +The +Property + Class +System +(W = 5) +The +Occupational +Class +System +(W = 2) +The +Ethnic +Class +System +(W = 3) +The +Educational +Class +System +(W = 2) +The +Religious +Class +System +(W=5) +The +Gender +“Class +System” +(W=10) +The +Family +Class +System +(W = 10) +The elite + + +The bureau- +cracy + + + + + + The + apolitical + class + + + + + + + + +Suspected +enemies of +the regime +The wealthy + + + +The moderately +wealthy + + + + + + The poor + + + + + + + + + + +The +impoverished +Large landowners + +Inde- Offi- Mer- +pend cials cha- +dent nts +far- +mers + ar- + ti- + Peasants sa- + ns + + + + + + + + + +Beggars, +Prostitutes, +Unemployed, +etc. + + + +Romans + +Greeks + + + +Barbarians: + +(Judaeans/ +Jews): + +Judaeans +Proper + +Galileans + +Idumeans + +Samaritans + +Educated +Moderately +Educated +Artisans +Literacy +Illiterate & +uneducated + + + + +Emperor + +High +Priests + +Priests + +Scholars + +Laity + +“pagans” + +Males + + + + + + + + + + + +females + + +Fathers + + +Mothers + + +Sons + + +Daugh +ters + + +Other +Kin + + +Those +outside +one‟s kin +group + + + + +In short, all the class systems together, not just the political and economic systems in the +abstract macromodel, form the “distributive system.” A person‟s ranking in several class +systems is usually coordinate with political and economic power in the macromodel, +though not always and necessarily. There is also some positive correlation between class +systems. However, there can also be competition among the various class rankings and + +19 For Malina (1986:86) social domains such as religion, economics, and education in Mediterranean +antiquity did not exist as separate, differentiated, and distinctive social institutions, but were “embedded” in +politics and religion. +Chart I +A Fictional Distributive System (Modified from Lenski 1966:80) +(w = weight of importance from 2-10) + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +531 +there can be local variations and ethnocentric rankings.20 Weights can change in specific +contexts. Ranking of Greeks and Romans within the Judaean [Jewish] version of the +ethnic/religious class system looks different from ranking in the more general distribution +system (Chart I). When ranking is relatively high in one class system and relatively low +on another – in actual versus fictive kin relations, for example – “status dissonance,” says +Lenski, can result. This is a recurring feature, as we shall see, in marginality. + +The key question for this study is: how should ancient scribes be ranked? As +Saldarini (1988:169; see also Lenski 1994:22, cp p 23) emphasized, that question is easily +answered in the simplified macromodel above: in the retainer class. This class contains +an odd assortment of officials: professional soldiers, government bureaucrats, household +servants, and petty officials, including tax collectors.21 What unites them is that they +serve the elite and function as social brokers between the rulers and the ruled. For +example, they collect the economic surplus and deflect resentment about elite power, +privilege, and prestige on the part of the lower social strata. As their reward they receive +a greater share in the economic surplus and a higher status than the masses. Lenski +estimates that the retainers make up about 5% of the population. + +It is important to ask the ranking question not only in the macrosocial system – +the advanced agrarian society – but in relation to Lenski‟s “classes” in the “distribution +system.” Lenski macrosocial analysis does not address this question in detail and thus he +does not analyze the ranking of scribes in particular (see Turner‟s criticism, footnote 20); +thus, more needs to be said. + +In the occupational class system scribes are “officials.” In the educational class +system they are among the literate elite, though not at the very top. In the family class +system, there can be scribal families. In the gender class system, scribes are almost all +male.22 Finally, in various ethnic and religious class systems scribes can be higher in + +20 Lenski‟s macro-analysis has received some criticism. Jonathan Turner (1984:54; Preface ii, 49), for +example, thinks that his abstract level of analysis sometimes obscures his “class systems”. I have attempted +to address this problem by making suggestions about the distribution system. + +21 Because of this variety, status ranking within any class is difficult. Military experts and literates receive +some status enhancement and corresponding wealth, though wages are mostly modest. They also compete +with each other and continually seek to maximize their rights and privileges; such ambitions threaten the +ruling classes only in the case of the military. Despite such difficulties I shall distinguish several kinds of +scribes. + +22 See, however, the study of Haines-Eitzen (1998) noted below for women copyists. + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +532 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +status. I will explore some of these dimensions further. First, however, I want to note +how Lenski‟s ranking of scribes in the larger ranking system has been used in scholarship +on Mediterranean society and the New Testament. + +4. +THE USE OF LENSKI FOR ANALYZING THE SCRIBES IN +MEDITERRANEAN SOCIETY +Not surprisingly, Greco-Roman society is Lenski‟s key example of an advanced agrarian +society.23 A number of scholars have used Lenski‟s model – the first New Testament +scholar seems to have been Rohrbaugh (1978) in the late 1970s – and some have +combined it with John Kautsky‟s view of “aristocratic empires,”24 as a way to interpret +social structures and relations in ancient Mediterranean society, including more localized +Judaean and early Jesus Movement groups.25 Here are two examples in which scribes are +ranked: + + +23 The most recent revision of the classic Lenski textbook (Nolan & Lenski 1999), uses the Roman Empire as +its most common illustration of an advanced agrarian society (see Nolan & Lenski 1999:166, 167, 169, 170, +173, 175, 176, 177, 180; see also Lenski 1966:198). + +24 John Kautsky (1982), a political scientist, is indebted to Lenski‟s views of societal evolution. Lenski +read Kautsky‟s manuscript before publication (Kautsky 1982:xvi; cp p 7, n 7; 19-20, 27). However, +Kautsky also draws on Sjoberg (1960), Eisenstadt (1963, 1978), Bendix (1978), and Moore (1958), and +develops his own distinctive accent. His key concept is the “aristocratic empire.” An aristocracy “… is a +ruling class in an agrarian economy that does not engage in productive labor but lives wholly or primarily +off the labor of peasants. Hence aristocratic empires must contain not only aristocrats but also peasants +who, in turn, live in agrarian primitive societies. Because … it takes many peasants to support one +aristocrat, this also implies that aristocratic empires are necessarily a good deal larger than primitive +societies” (Kautsky 1982:24). An important refinement of Lenski is Kautsky‟s distinction between +traditional and commercialized aristocratic empires. A traditional or “pure” aristocratic empire is not yet +characterized by “commercialization,” that is, it does not yet have a developed class of merchants, +financiers, and tax collectors who can take over some of the power of the aristocrats. As far as I am aware, +the first New Testament scholar to take note of Kautsky‟s work was Richard Horsley in an SBL lecture of +the late 1980s. For the use of Kautsky see Herzog (1994:53-73); Duling (1995a:160-61); Crossan +(1998:157-59). The 2000 SBL Social Science Group had a session centered on the contributions of Lenski +and Kautsky to New Testament study. R Rohrbaugh surveyed the use of Lenski and Kautsky in New +Testament study and Kautsky was present and responded. + +25 Some other scholars who have seen value in Lenski‟s modeling are: Cheney (1986); Coote and Whitelam +(1986:113-14); Elliott (1986); Oakman (1986, 1994); Saldarini (1988a, 1988b, 1994); Waetjen (1989); Fiensy +(1990); Duling (1992a, 1993b:649-654; ch 2); Love (1993, 1994); Seeman (1993); Herzog (1994:53-66); +Duling & Perrin (1994); Knight (1994:115); Craffert (1996); Crossan (1998); Stegemann & Stegemann +(1999); McNutt (2000:245); Carter (2000:18, 561, n 86); cf Osiek (1992:39-43). + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +533 + In 1988 Anthony Saldarini (1988) combined Lenski (1966) and Kautsky (1982) to +describe social stratification in Palestinian Judaism. In contrast to Lenski, he +stressed the distinction between “social groups” and “classes.”26 For Saldarini the +Pharisees were both retainers (a “class”) and a social group, while the scribes were +retainers but not a social group (in contrast to the gospel redaction).27 + In 1995 Ekkehard and Wolfgang Stegemann (1999) used Lenski‟s analysis as the +basis for their views of power, “social systems,” the evaluation of “statuses,” and +the discussion of “status inconsistency”28 in Palestine, though they preferred the +term “stratum” to “class.”29 Again, the scribes fell in the retainer class (though this +class is not so labeled in their model). Scribes are grouped together with members +of the Sanhedrin, administrative and military retainers, functionaries, priests, local +judges, tax collectors, foreign traders, and wholesalers. + + + + + + + + + + + +26 What Saldarini called “social groups” are what we discussed above as “status groups” (Weber‟s Stände). +He also used sect and network analysis to analyze the groups. For my position on network analysis, see +especially Duling (1993, 1999b, 2000, 2001). + +27 Pharisees were of the retainer class, but they were also a political-religious interest group and a sect, as well +as a voluntary association (see Saldarini 1988:42, 59, 69, 72, 74). I have discussed the Matthean group as a +voluntary association (Duling 1995a), as has Ascough (1998b). Yet, there may have been scribes from the +same family over generations (see, e.g., Baker 1994:69). + +28 Alföldy (1985) is helpful for the overall picture, but his Roman-oriented stratification is too localized to +apply directly to Palestine without modification. For such a modification, see Fiensy (1990 and n 53). + +29 “A stratum comprises all the people of a society who find themselves in a similar social position on the +basis of their share of power, privilege, and prestige” (Stegemann & Stegemann 1999:58).

Whether the place was +Antioch – that is the majority view, though much debated34 – the gospel was almost +certainly written after 70 CE when Herodian and priestly power were no longer a major +factor. Thus, Lenski‟s unrevised monomodel should be the preferred model. However, +Cohen‟s analysis suggests that Lenski‟s distribution system deserves more attention. + + +30 Cohen‟s examples are Schürer, Kriessig, Jeremias, and Baron. + +31 Fiensy (1992:158) adjusted the Lenski model, again for Palestine, by distinguishing between urban and +rural, by adding “unclean and degraded,” and by inserting subclasses. However, Fiensy intentionally +omitted scribes (and social groups such as Josephus‟ four “philosophies”) from “class” ranking altogether. +I subsequently added Lenski‟s percentages and took note of the work of Douglas Oakman (1986) and the +economics of ancient Palestine; see Duling (1992a, 1993b, 1995a, 1995b). Arlandson (1997:21-24) based +his discussion on my analysis, but adapted the model, not as a Lenski-type pyramid, but as block, which, he +thinks, suggests a greater gap between rich and poor; Carter (2000:18) has accepted Arlandson‟s +modification. Lenski himself recognized the inadequacy of any pyramidal model, including his own, +because it does not portray the degree of inequality between the top and bottom of the social order (Lenski +1966:285). However, his alternative was to extend the spire of the governing class. I prefer to keep the +pyramid and spire, in part because of the metaphor “pyramids of power” derived from Carney (1975:90; +see Hanson & Oakman 1998:67-93) and the general tendency to see hierarchical structures as pyramids of +power. One can then illustrate the radical gulf between upper and lower strata by a broken line. See also +Crossan (1998). + +32 So does Crossan‟s (1998) recent adaptation. + +33 I have used the Lenski analysis for the Matthean story this way, as well (see Duling 1992a, 1993b, Duling +& Perrin 1994:56). For an application to Mark, see Rohrbaugh (1993a, 1993b). + +34 For the acceptance of Antioch, see Carter (1996, 2000). + +Matthew as marginal scribe +536 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +In what follows I accept Lenski‟s and Saldarini‟s retainer ranking for scribes in the +monomodel but want to add the educational, occupational, and religious class systems. +First, however, it is crucial to say more about scribes in Mediterranean society, particularly +Judaean scribes. + +5. +SOCIAL ROLES AND RANKING OF SCRIBES IN + +MEDITERRANEAN ANTIQUITY +So far, I have considered scribes as a single group. Drawing especially on Saldarini, +Schams, Richards, and Kloppenborg it is possible to describe at least six kinds of scribes +in the ancient literature. + + Royal Scribes and Government Bureaucrats who served the ruling elite directly. In +Mesopotamia royal schools for scribes probably existed already in third millennium +BCE (Baker 1994:66-67). In ancient Egypt, professional scribes were educated in +schools to copy, recite, and memorize documents. They served in the royal court +as political and financial administrators and record keepers, sometimes reaching +the highest levels of government (Richards 1989:15). Egyptian “royal scribes” +can be be documented down into the Ptolemaic period (Richards 1989:15-16). +The Greeks developed a similar role, the Basilikos Grammateus. The Romans +had “imperial secretaries” promoted to equestrian status (Richards 1989:16-18; on +the Romans, see Richards 1989:15-20). Some scholars argue that a comparable +picture of government scribes can be drawn for pre-exilic Israel if Temple +functions are stressed (Saldarini 1988:243-44; 1992a; Fishbane 1985:25-27; +Viviano 1990:55; Heaton 1994; Davies 1995).35 + Public and private secretaries. For the larger Greco-Roman world in the Hellenis- +tic period Richards writes that the grammateus is in general: + +… a person employed to write out correspondence for another, whether as a +professional or only as an amateur, whether with or without financial +compensation, whether maintained full-time by one individual or used only + +35 It may be that scribal schools for kings and priests existed in Jerusalem prior to the Exile. + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +537 +for one assignment, and whether used throughout the entire letter writing +process or only for preparing the final draft. This definition includes everyone +from the public secretaries usually hired in the agora, to the private secretaries +usually retained by wealthy persons, to the friend who writes out a letter for +another. His skills could range from a minimal competency with the language +and/or the mechanics of writing to the highest proficiency at rapidly producing +an accurate, proper, and charming letter. + +Greek writers use the same term, grammateu/v, to describe several +positions. A grammateu/j could mean a secretary, public [that is, hired in the +agora] or private [that is, usually employed by the wealthy], or a government +official. The Latin language is more specialized: scriba denotes a public or +official secretary, librarius, a private secretary as does the rarer term +amanuensis, and notarius, a shorthand writer. + +(Richards 1989:10-11)36 + + Josephus‟ references to grammateus reflect this rather broad Greco-Roman +“secular” orientation,37 which was current in the Judaean Diaspora.38 + Village and local scribes. In the Egyptian administrative system there were local +scribes (topogrammatei~v) and village (topogrammatei~v) scribes who reported +to the “royal scribes” (see Appendix 3). They sometimes cultivated land, but their +main functions were administration of the land and processing petitions; they +were mainly record keepers and brokers between with higher officials and +subordinates (Goodman 1983:59; Richards 1989:15; Kloppenborg 1987:171-245, +342-45; 1991:81-86; Arnal 1995: 482-92; 1997; for the earlier period, see Millard + +36 Richards‟ footnote 59 adds: “In the LXX and the New Testament a third possibility exists: an expert in +religious (Jewish and Christian) law.” That is the second type in this list. For standing and sitting postures +for writing, see Parássoglou (1979). + +37 For Josephus, teachers of the Torah are called sophistai. + +38 This view is also found Diaspora texts. In the Letter of Aristeas learned sages are not called “scribes” +and the designation of Eleazar, the Jerusalem priestly leader, as “scribe” in Palestinian 2 Maccabees (6:18) +has vanished in Diaspora 4 Maccabees (5:4). + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +538 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +1985:303).39 Josephus also mentions village scribes (see Saldarini 1992:1014; +Horsley 1989:203; Kloppenborg 1989:212-13).40 The papyri also show that +slaves could be secretaries (see POxy. 3273).41 Recent studies have suggested that +village scribes copied and transmitted Jesus Move-ment documents such as Q +(Kloppenborg 1991:83-85; 1993:25; Arnal 2001:151-55, 170-72) and Mark +(Beavis 1989:39-42, 50-67, 167-70). + Scribes of voluntary associations. There were record-keeping scribes in voluntary +associations (Duling 1995a:161-64; Ascough 1998b). Judaean inscriptions from +synagogues at Rome suggest that some of these scribes were not highly educated +(Saldarini 1992:1016b, derived from Leon 1960).42 To these four types of scribes, +one may add two special types of scribes often noted in discussions of Israelites. + +39 Much information has been retrieved from the wastepaper “archive” of a successor of the Greek +Menches, village scribe of Kerkeosiris, Egypt, who reported to the Basilikos Grammateus and whose +patron, Dorion, at distant Alexandria, defended him (see Verhoogt 1998, esp 67-68, 70, 88-89 and +Appendix 3). + +40 JosWars 1.24.3 (par 479): “Nay, Aristobulus had raised a quarrel between himself and Salome, who was +his mother-in-law, besides the anger he had conceived at Glaphyra‟s reproaches; for he perpetually +upbraided his wife with the meanness of her family, and complained, that as he had married a woman of a +low family, so had his brother Alexander married one of royal blood. At this Salome‟s daughter wept, and +told it her with this addition, that Alexander threatened the mothers of his other brethren, that when he +should come to the crown, he would make them weave with their maidens, and would make those brothers +of his country schoolmasters (grammatei=v) and brake this jest upon them, that they had been very +carefully instructed, to fit them for such an employment. Hereupon Salome could not contain her anger, +but told all to Herod; nor could her testimony be suspected, since it was against her own son-in-law. There +was also another calumny that ran abroad and inflamed the king‟s mind; for he heard that these sons of his +were perpetually speaking of their mother, and, among their lamentations for her, did not abstain from +cursing him; and that when he made presents of any of Mariamne‟s garments to his later wives, these +threatened that in a little time, instead of royal garments, they would clothe theft in no better than hair- +cloth.” (translation in Whiston). + +41 Richards (1989:38 n 105), quotes POxy. 724: “Panechotes also called Panares, ex-cosmetes of +Oxyrhynchus, through his friend Gemellus, to Apollonius, writer of shorthand, greeting. I have placed +with you my slave Chaerammon to be taught the signs which your son Dionysius knows, for a period of +two years dating from the present month Phamenoth of the 18th year of Antonius Caesar the lord at the +salary agreed upon between us, 120 drachmae, not including feast days; of which sum you have received +the first instalment [sic] consisting of 40 drachmae when the boy has learnt the whole system, and the third +you will receive at the end of the period when the boy writes fluently in every respect and reads faultlessly, +viz., the remaining 40 drachmae. If you make him perfect with the period, I will not wait for the aforesaid +limit; but it is not lawful for me to take the boy away before the end of the period, and he shall remain with +you after the expiration of it for as many days or months as he may have done no work. The 18th year of +the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Phamenoth 5” (italics by Richards). + +42 Judaean scribes were keepers of records and contracts and were not highly educated. + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +539 + Elementary Level Bible School Teachers. In the Rabbinic literature the term +sopherim could sometimes refer to educators at an elementary level in contrast to +learned Torah scholars (reshuth; so Daube 1956:205-23).43 + Learned Torah scholars. In second-Temple Israel Ezra was described as a “priest +and scribe of the law of the God of Heaven,”44 thus, a learned Torah scholar (Ezra +7:6; 8:5, 10; Neh 8) and a powerful Judaean political leader (Ezra 7:20, 25).45 +About 180 BCE Ben Sira sketched the “ideal scribe” as a man of leisure, an +international traveler, ambassador, community leader, and expert in all areas of +knowledge – thus, a sage and Torah scholar (see further, below). In the +Maccabean period, a guild of lay scribes (sunagwgh_ grammate/wn) apart from +the priests seems to have arisen (1 Macc 7:11).46 In the first century BCE 1 Enoch +refers to the “scribe of righteousness” (1 Enoch 12:3-4; 15:1) and in the late first- +century CE 2 Baruch, the apocalyptic visionary Baruch is also a scribe (2 Baruch +2:1; 9:1-10:4). Finally, in the later Rabbinic literature the “words of the scribes” +were still authoritative (Saldarini 1992 vol 5:1015; Hengel 1974:79, 132-16). + +As might be expected, these multiple roles and functions have produced a scholarly +debate about Judaean scribes. It has tended to focus on whether they were professional +writers – copyists, secretaries, and recorders, in or out of government – or Torah scholars +with higher power, privilege, and prestige. The former were retainers; the latter, +however, should be understood in a different way. From a social-scientific perspective, +this debate illustrates competition between the occupational, educational (for Cohen +“economic”), and religious class systems and the status ranking in them. The Torah + +43 Daube is commenting on Mark 1:21-28, that “as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (1:22) and +“a new teaching with authority” (1:27) is making the distinction between ordinary teachers (sopherim) and +ordained learned scholars (reshuth). + +44 Ezra 7:12; cf Ezra 7:14, 21, in the words of Artaxerxes (cp 7:6) (see North 1992). + +45 Contrast, however, Ezra 10:5; Neh 8:13; 10:1. Thus, scholars debate the point (see, e.g., North 1992). + +46 The scribe was said to be associated with priests and rebels, too. + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +540 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +scholar role for scribe has dominated both Jewish and Christian scholarship47 and David +Orton‟s (1989:120) synthetic view follows suit.48 +However, Christine Schams (1998) has mounted an impressive argument against +this widespread view. She notes that Bickerman (1988) called this view a “phantom +category” indebted to Luther‟s translation of grammateus by Schriftgelehrte and that E P +Sanders (1992) added that it is a complex scholarly myth with little or no evidence. She +argues, first, that the Torah scholar view is a redactional idealization of second-Temple +writers without much historical reality, and, second, that New Testament and especially +Rabbinic views have been inappropriately read back into the earlier Judaean texts. +In my view, two things need to be observed. First, redactional idealizations, like any +literary products, will in some way mirror historical/social realities (e g, Eagleton 1983). +Second, redacted idealizations can have a profound effect on later views. Thus, even if the +Torah scholar role was an idealization, it may well have had its historical significance and +effects. It approximated the role of real scribes and should remain among the normative role +options for many scribes in ancient Judaism. As Jonathan Z Smith (1983:168) put it, “The +scribes were an elite class of learned, literate men, an intellectual aristocracy which played +an invaluable role in the administration of their people in both religious and political affairs +….” + +6. +BEN SIRA’S “IDEAL SCRIBE” +The preceding judgments imply that Ben Sira‟s idealized scribe (ca 180 BCE), even if +exaggerated, should be taken seriously.49 Ben Sira, who may have had a scribal school in + +47 E g, Christian scholars such as Schürer, Billerbeck, Schlatter, Jeremias, and Hengel. Jewish scholars +include Urbach, Bar-Ilan, and Neusner (see the discussion of Schams). + +48 For Orton, scribes study Torah, the law of covenants, and the wisdom of the ancients. They penetrate +prophecies, the subtleties of parables, and the hidden meanings of proverbs. They offer thanksgiving to God +and pray for forgiveness of their sins. They pour forth their own wisdom, showing learning. They meditate on +the Lord‟s mysteries and are filled with the spirit of understanding. + +49 Ellis Rivkin (1978:139) once argued that it was precisely Ben Sira who changed the meaning of +sopher/grammateus in Judaism to Torah scholar: “The sofer of Ben Sira‟s day was an intellectual, not a +scribe; a scholar, not a copyist; a sage, not a secretary.” His image looks much like that of Orton; however, +it is precisely this image that Schams contests. + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +541 +his house,50 sums up the ideal scribe in two poems. Both are thought to reflect the +Egyptian “Satire on the Trades.” However, Ben Sira‟s judgment about scribes is less +satirical and more positive.51 I have summarized the two poems‟ contrast between scribes +and other social groups as follows (Duling 1995a:177). + + + +Scribes + + + +Have leisure = opportunity for +Wisdom + +are found among and appear before +rulers; + +serve among the great + +travel in foreign lands (learn good +and evil) + +preserve sayings of the famous + +sit in judge‟s seat + +understand and make court decisions + +expound discipline and judgment + +are sought out for the people‟s +council + +are eminent in the public assembly + +have names praised by com- +munity and nations + +Peasants and Artisans + + +Peasants: +* work night and day: + +plow furrows + +goad oxen + +talk about cattle + +careful about heifers‟ fodder + +Artisans/Master Artisans: +* labor with their hands into the night to +finish their work well + +signet engraver makes exact +images + +the smith at the anvil: quality work + +the potter: quantity and quality +work + + +The italicized references can be easily ranked as follows: + + + + +“the great” + + + +rulers + + + +scribes + + + +master artisans + + + +artisans + + + +peasants + +This social ranking generally matches the ranking of the Lenski macrosocial model for an +advanced agrarian society. The scribes are retainers of the elite; they are social brokers. + +50 Ben Sira 51:23: Hebrew: bet-midrāsh; Greek: oikia paideia); Hengel 1974:79, 132. + +51 Ben Sira 38:24-34 and 39:1-11 (see Orton 1989:66-67; Skehan & DiLella 1987:445-53; Saldarini 1988: +254-59; Gammie 1990). + +Matthew as marginal scribe +542 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +In the educational and professional class systems they rank relatively high. However, +they also appear to be sages/Torah scholars and are thus have even more prestige in the +religious class system. Education, professional, and religious roles are fused. As +Nickelsburg and Stone (1983:94) put it, Ben Sira‟s ideal is an “ideal of life which is +determined by social role.” I now want to reinforce this point about the rank of scribes +with “literacy power.” + +7. +LITERACY, POWER, AND SCRIBES +The term “scribe” in Hebrew () comes from the root  which refers to a written +message, then a writing, and finally one who could write (Saldarini 1992:1012); the term +grammateu/j in Greek means one who “knows letters.” William Harris‟ view of ancient +literacy, often cited in this connection, is that probably no more than 10% of the +population of the Greco-Roman world could read and write.52 This estimate includes +more technical “scribaliteracy,” but also less technical “craftsmen‟s literacy,” that is, +basic writing for trade or business.53 + +Before proceeding, it is important to address a commonly debated question: was +the literacy level of Judaeans (“Jews”) higher than other ancient Mediterranean peoples? +This question is, in part, a question of education. One eminent authority, A R Millard,54 +argues on the basis of widespread epigraphic and seal evidence that literacy in Judaean +society was widespread. Aaron Demsky agreed.55 Ackroyd, Evans, and Bar-Ilan, + +52 “The likely overall illiteracy level of the Roman Empire under the principate is almost certain to have +been above 90%” (Harris 1989:22, italics mine). + +53 Yaghjian (1996) also discusses “oculiterate reading,” that is, the ability to decode a written text, whether +one could write or not; “auraliteracy,” or correct hearing; and “oraliteracy,” or oral memorization and +recitation, both of which were still greatly valued in Mediterranean antiquity. + +54 Millard considers his statement in 1972, “writing was theoretically within the competence of any ancient +Israelite … and … was, in fact, quite widely practiced” (Millard 1972:108) perhaps “too optimistic” +(Millard 1985:306), but nonetheless says, “We conclude that few ancient Israelites were out of reach of the +written word ….” (Millard 1985:307). + +55 “Already by the late Second commonwealth period, elementary education had been organized along +communal lines and children were studying in the Beth Sepher – the House of the Book” (response to +Millard [352]). + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +543 +however, hold the opposite opinion (cf Ackroyd and Evans 1970:37; Bar-Ilan 1988:22). +Shaye Cohen (1987:120) judges that compulsory education for Judaean children was not +likely. Thus, it seems likely that the literacy level of ancient Judaeans and Christ +believers probably did not exceed 10%.56 + +Oral communication was still important in some circles;57 others could read +without the ability to write; still others possessed “craftsman‟s literacy.” These variants +do not vitiate the importance and status of those who were “scribaliterate.” The level of +sophistication in the Gospel of Matthew surely requires us to focus on scribaliteracy at a +very high level, certainly higher than that of artisans, village scribes, and school teachers. +Indeed, the Matthean scribe comes very close to the role of Torah scholar – at least in the +groups for which he writes. In terms of the distribution system, the Matthean author +ranked very high in professional, educational, and religious power – higher than retainer +status in the macrosociety. + +This point can be reinforced by an analysis of literacy and power. In the +Introduction to Literacy and Power in the Ancient World, Bowman and Woolf (1994) +offer the following five summary points about the essays in their collection:58 + + + + + + +56 Millard (1992:339) admits that most reading and writing was carried out by professional scribes . + +57 Papias of Hieropolis (ca 150 CE) is remembered by Eusebius to have said: “For I did not suppose that +the things from the books would aid me so much as the things from the living and continuing voice” +(Eusebius, Church History 3.5). See the studies of Kelber (1997). + +58 They state that many social anthropologists and historians are cautious about overstating the case for the +power of literacy and now tend to focus on local case studies, not generalizing grand theory. For these +anthropologists and historians “[l]iteracy is not a single phenomenon but a highly variable package of skills +in using texts: it may or may not include writing as well as reading and is generally geared only to +particular genres of texts, particular registers of language and often only to only some of the languages used +in multilingual societies. Moreover, literacy does not operate as an autonomous force in history, whether +for change, progress and emancipation or for repression. Literacy does not of itself promote economic +growth, rationality or social success. Literates do not necessarily behave or think differently from +illiterates, and no Great Divide separates societies with writing from those without it. The invention of +writing did not promote a social or intellectual revolution, and reports of the death of orality have been +exaggerated” (Bowman & Woolf 1994:2-3). Their collection is in part an attempt to redress the balance. + +Matthew as marginal scribe +544 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +1. +Power is related to literacy in predominantly two ways: + + Power over texts, which means that “an elite or restricted group determines +both the status of particular kinds of texts and also which people or bodies +may use them to legitimize their behavior” (Bowman & Woolf 1994:6)59 + Power exercised through texts, which means that texts legitimize deeds and +spoken words though their (re)interpretation. + +2. +Texts unite communities as well as establish and entrench relations of dominance. +Indeed, “[g]radations of literacy created and corresponded to gradations in power” +(Bowman and Woolf 1994:13). +3. +“In the administrative context of the Greek world and the Roman East, the title +and position of grammateus often did not simply describe a function but a +position with some status and power” (Bowman and Woolf 1994:10). +4. +In Judaean and Jesus Movement contexts the Greek and Semitic languages, like +Latin and Greek in the Empire, preserved and spread an elite culture that marked +social boundaries and reinforced “political and cultural coherence, or group +identity” (Bowman and Woolf 1994:12). +5. +Finally, in Judaean and Jesus Movement groups “the very act of writing a sacred +text could bestow status and power on the scribe” (Bowman and Woolf 1994:12; +for a critique of this view, see Schams 1998:58). Such groups were “textual +communities” in which a “sacral graphocentrism” was at work. + +In short, scribes possessed “literacy power,” indeed “Torah scholar power” in Jesus +Movement “textual communities,” especially when fewer than 10% were literate. As +Goodman (1994:108) puts it, “[p]erhaps the two roles of scribes, as writers and +interpreters, were mutually reinforcing.” The Matthean scribe possessed such power. + +59 This power includes restrictions on writing, reading, access, and possession, and sometimes stress +education in a sacred language. “The most common justification for such manipulation is religio” +(Bowman & Woolf 1994:12). Their example is florilegia. An analogy in Matthew would be the formula +quotations. + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +545 + +The author of the Gospel of Matthew was scribaliterate in an advanced agrarian +society, thus a scribe with power. But even more, the old view that he was a Torah +scholar in his group is correct. In what sense could one call him “marginal”? + +8. +MARGINALITY +The title of this paper implies the term “marginal.” My initial comments above were a +first attempt at clarification a decade ago. Here I want to clarify my understanding of +marginality further. + +First, a comment about models is in order. The simplified macrosocial model of +an advanced agrarian society above is a stratification model, thus a vertical model; +similarly, the distribution system chart has been imagined in terms of several vertical +“class systems” (“the distribution system”). Indeed, Mediterranean social relations +themselves have been described as “verticality” (MacMullen 1974:94; cf 51-73) and +typified by “pyramids of power” (Carney 1975); “high” and “low” are the ranking +categories. Marginality, however, shifts the social-scientific imagination to center and +margin, with the potential for concentric circles. Concentric circles are usually conceived +in two dimensions on a flat surface, as in a target, and are often employed for microsocial +group analysis (see, e.g., Malina 1986:98-126).60 It is also possible to describe insiders‟ +views of outsiders from this perspective; when they make value judgments from their +limited perspectives, perspectives they believe to be the center, they are “ethno-centric.” +It is possible to superimpose the vertical and center-margin models in various ways. For +example, native judgments about “high” and “low” in the distribution system can be +ethnocentric. Thus, Roman rulers might consider themselves to be at both the top and the +center. + +I now want to shift attention to the center-margin model. First, I sketch the term +and concept “marginality” based mainly on the typology of J M Billson (1988). She +discusses three types of marginality, to which I have added a fourth: + + structural marginality; + social role marginality; + +60 I have recently used the concentric circle view in network analysis to describe the Jesus Movement +(Duling 1999b, 2000, 2001a, 2001b). + +Matthew as marginal scribe +546 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 + cultural marginality; and + ideological marginality. + +I begin with structural marginality because it has dominated discussions of marginality +(sometimes used in New Testament study without much theoretical reflection61). + + Structural marginality is “.... the political, social and economic powerlessness of +certain disenfranchised and/or disadvantaged segments within societies” (Billson +1988:185; 189).62 In Gino Germani‟s (1980) analysis of Latin America63 +marginals are people living in squatter settlements and segregated shantytowns. +They are usually the poor and oppressed. They are denied access to goods and +services. Often they are ethnic populations. They are less developed groups in +contrast to the larger society. Their norms, values, and attitudes contrast with +those of the majority culture. Yet, they are not a totally separate class outside the +social structure. They therefore represent a type of internal colonialism, “a +society within a society.” They are usually found in developing countries and in +cities, but can also be found in developed countries and in rural settings +(“ecological marginality”).64 + +For Germani these marginal persons are normally non-elites dominated by +political, economic, and cultural elites; they are usually at the bottom of the social +hierarchy. Macro-vertical and center/periphery models coalesce. However – this +is an important point – in theory any persons in any social class can be +structurally marginal if they are excluded from participating in their expected + +61 See my initial comments in this article. Billson (1988:185 n 2) notes that a computer search will show +the predominance of this form of marginality. + +62 Billson cites seventeen studies from 1974 to 1987. In 1993, as noted at the beginning of this article, I +called this “involuntary marginality” (Duling 1993b). + +63 Germani is founder of the Gino Germani Institute at the University of Buenos Aires. + +64 At the explanatory level, Germani suggests five interrelated causes of marginality: (1) economic and +social (esp high unemployment); (2) political (domination by the powerful; limited participation on the +basis of class, race, gender, ethnicity); (3) demographic (high population density); (4) cultural (domination +of non-elites by elites; neo-[internal]colonialism; urban domination of rural); and (5) psychosocial (feelings +of helplessness; powerlessness; status inferiority; inadequate early socialization). + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +547 +roles (Germani 1980:49). From this perspective, Germani (1980:49) defines +structural marginality more broadly “… as the lack of participation of individuals +and groups in those spheres in which, according to determined criteria +[legitimated norms, values, ideologies], they might be expected to participate”.65 + Social Role Marginality is defined by Billson (1988:184) as “the product of +failure to belong to a [desired] positive reference group.” This subcategory has +been isolated in part because sociologist Robert Merton (1957) located +marginality within “reference group theory.” Modern examples are women and +minority persons who want to enter professions or positions previously denied +them. In antiquity, there is much less potential for upward social mobility, but, to +stick with our topic, there are instances of masters sending their slaves to be +educated as scribes and of talented lower level scribes being rewarded with a +scribal position of higher status. + “Cultural Marginality” is Billson‟s social-scientific and more inclusive language +for Park‟s (1931) social-psychological category “Marginal Man” (Billson +1988:184; see also Antonovsky 1956).66 Park had immigrants to the USA in +mind. He described the Marginal Man as one who is “condemned” to live “in +between” two different, antagonistic cultural worlds without fully belonging to +either, who is “caught” between two competing cultures. The “Marginal Man” +experiences “acceptance or rejection, belonging or isolation, in-group or out- +group,” “ambiguities of status and role,” and finally “isolation, identity confusion, +and alienation.” Similarly, Stonequist (1937:3) defined the “Marginal Man” as + +65 Implied in this definition is Germani‟s analysis of three dimensions: (1) the legitimate exercise of social +roles (gender, age, civil status, occupation, social status); (2) “objective resources” (material, such as goods +and services, and non-material, such as education); and (3) “personal conditions” (attitudes, propensities, +motivations, behavior patters, intellectual capacity, and general and technical knowledge). “… [I]n +whatever analysis, the interpretation of the data and situations, the empirical research and the diagnosis of +marginality must be made explicit with regard to the normative scheme, marginality criteria, and the +explanatory system utilized.” (Germani 1980:54; italics mine). “The normative scheme” in Germani‟s +definition and analysis refers to “the set of values and norms which define the categories (status), the +legitimate, expected, or tolerated areas of participation and the assignment mechanisms of individuals to +each category” (Germani 1980:50). While consciousness of being marginal occurs quite easily in a rapidly +changing society (such as modern society), Germani‟s analysis is abstract enough to engage almost any +social system that offers competing normative schemes. + +66 Park drew many insights from Simmel‟s (1908) essay on “the stranger.” + +Matthew as marginal scribe +548 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +“...unwittingly initiated into two or more historic traditions, languages, political +loyalties, moral codes, or religions, one of which is more dominant.” Those who +are culturally marginal do not fully assimilate; thus, they are said to be “in- +between,” to have “status incongruence” (Schemmerhorn 1965:407) and psycho- +logical uncertainty. In a later book Park (1950) also extended his Marginal Man +concept to include races that never fully assimilate. They never become part of +“the center,” but remain “marginal.” +In a recent study Lee (1995:48, 58) accepts the description of marginality +as being “in between” two antagonistic worlds without belonging to either. +However, he challenges +as +excessively +negative any social-scientific +interpretations that describe this “in between-ness” in terms of “maladjustment,” +“cultural schizophrenia,” “excessive self-consciousness,” and “extreme race +consciousness” (Lee 1995:62-63)67 Lee offers more positive evaluations, for +example, one can have the experience of being “in both” (sharing both cultures). +Paradoxically the culturally marginal person is “in both of them without either +being blended” (Lee 1995:62). Lee goes further. One can also experience “in +beyond” (at least in a pluralistic society, being a “new marginal person” +embodying a holistic state of being): “To transcend or to live in-beyond does not +mean to be free of the two different worlds in which persons exist, but to live in +both of them without being bound by either of them. The new marginal person is +a liberated person, a person who is truly free ... (Lee 1995:63).68 + +67 See also Carter (2000:43-45), who in general draws heavily on Duling (1993). In a footnote Billson +writes with respect to the so-called “maladjustments” of marginal persons: “The term „maladjustment‟ is +used here for convenience and lack of a more neutral term which would still embrace multiple potential +problems associated with marginality. It is recognized that marginality may in fact produce innovation, +creativity, or other positive consequences for individual and/or society … Nonetheless, the sense in which +marginality has been utilized historically (and is used here) implies that the person who experiences a +marginal role will be faced with special problems of “adjustment” which others in non-marginal roles will +not have to face” (Billson 1988:190, n 4). Billson is obviously aware of the potentially negative sound of +the social-scientific analysis of marginality; nonetheless, her analysis is, indeed, subject to the criticism. + +68 Lee could have gone further: the gene pool suggests that the very notion of “race” is rooted in nineteenth +century theories of evolution related to Euro-Americans‟ ethnocentric view of their cultural superiority +(Birx 1988). Nonetheless, the race concept persists socially and psychologically. + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +549 + “Ideological Marginality” is not really discussed by Billson.69 I have derived it +from the anthropologist Victor Turner (1969, 1974): who developed it from the +ritual process.70 In rites of passage individuals or groups are separated, usually +physically, from the social system with its accepted statuses or roles marked by +law, custom, convention, and ceremonial. They are initiated and then +reintroduced into the social system as neophytes with new, often higher, statuses. +Turner calls the initiation stage “marginal” or “liminal” (Latin limen: +“threshold”). During this stage, initiates are said to be “betwixt and between,” +“neither here nor there” (Turner 1969:95), status-less, role-less, spontaneous, +sexlessness (sometimes symbolized by naked-ness), and anonymous; they +experience egalitarianism and intense comradeship. + +Turner thinks of this marginality as “anti-structure” in contrast to +normative social structure. He also calls it communitas. “For me, communitas +emerges where social structure is not” (Turner 1969:126). While communitas is +in the first place “spontaneous communitas,” and while there is an attempt to +make it “normative communitas,” it can also be chosen as a utopian vision of +society, or ideological communitas (Turner 1969:132). Ideological communitas is +thus voluntary “outsiderhood” (Turner 1974:133), the ideal of the ecclesiola in +ecclesia. “Communitas is what people really seek by voluntary poverty ... (Turner +1974:266). In short, this is a different sort of marginality and from a different +analytical context. It is a marginality of desired vision, or self-styled liminality. It +consists of individuals and groups who consciously and by choice live outside the +normative statuses, roles, and offices of society (Turner 1974:133). + +9. +THE AUTHOR OF MATTHEW AS A “MARGINAL SCRIBE” +Using these concepts, I now propose to refine the sense in which the scribe who wrote the +Gospel of Matthew might have been “marginal.” + +Lenski‟s unrevised macromodel is useful for the post-70 Matthean gospel but it +needs to be combined with variables in the distribution system. This means that the + +69 Billson (1988:197) does mention voluntary homelessness.. + +70 I originally called this marginality “voluntary marginality” (Duling 1993:646-48). + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +550 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +retainer role of the scribe must be interpreted – qualified – with attention to other variables, +especially educational, occupational, and religious class rankings. + +9.1 +Structural Marginality +In structural marginality from Germani‟s perspective, center/marginal and vertical +upper/lower class models overlap. Though by definition marginality can occur at any +level of the social hierarchy, most marginal persons are at or near the lower end of the +social hierarchy. In the Lenski macromodel they are especially the expendables, but +include lower peasants and artisans. For Kautsky, their marginality would have been +greater because of their loss of land under a new redistribution system.71 + +However, if we broaden the analysis to include Lenski‟s distribution system, +marginals would include suspected enemies of the state (the political class system); +impoverished (the property class system); beggars, prostitutes, and unemployed (the +occupational class system); those not of one‟s ethnic group (the ethnic class system); the +illiterate and uneducated (the educational class system); pagans (the ethnic and religious +class systems); women (the gender class system); and those outside of one‟s kin group +(the family class system). It is possible to glean from the Matthean story examples of +such marginal persons: forced laborers, day laborers, some slaves, tenant farmers, poor, +those in need of alms, eunuchs, ritually unclean, lepers, a woman with a hemorrhage, +women who follow Jesus, the diseased and infirm, the blind, the lame, the deaf, the +dumb, the deformed, paralytics, demoniacs, epileptics, bandits and prostitutes.72 + +Seen from the Lenski macromodel a scribe would not have been structurally +marginal; he was a retainer of the elite. He was literate, would have had a somewhat +higher social status and literacy power. Descriptions of Judaean scribes, even if +idealized, could have an even higher status. Though there is a spectrum, they could be +educated Torah scholars who played a significant role in political and religious affairs. +Ben Sira‟s ideal scribe certainly contributed to and reinforced this role perception; he + +71 See also the analysis of Lenski and Kautsky by Crossan (1998:157-59). + +72 Duling (1992a; 1993:653-54); see also Vledder (1997) for a similar application to Mark (cf Rohrbaugh +1993a; 1993b). + + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +551 +stated that scribes are ranked just below rulers. From the macromodel perspective, +scribes were not structurally marginal. + +If we take account of the distribution system, a similar picture emerges. In the +political class system the Judaean scribe would have been part of the bureaucracy, in the +property class system he was moderately wealthy, and in the occupational system he was +an administrative official. With respect to gender, scribes were normally male, though +according to Eusebius there were some women copyists (Haines-Eitzen 1998:629-46).73 +With respect to kinship, there may have been some scribal families (Verhoogt 1998:53). + +A problem arises, however, when the fuller range of scribes within the +occupational class system is considered, for it is necessary to add in village scribes and +other, lesser educated scribes, for example, scribes in voluntary associations. Some of +these scribes were of relatively low status. Should we see them as structurally marginal +in the most common sense? In Lenski‟s macromodel they are certainly not among the +elite. However, neither are they at the lower levels. In micro-contexts – small villages, +groups, and the like – they would have a certain amount of status in view of the even lower +level of illiteracy. Only in terms of Germani‟s broader definition – not being permitted to +fulfill one‟s expected role – might one conclude that such scribes were structurally +marginal, but that judgment would have pertained to scribes who had had a higher social +status – even Torah scholars within Judaism. In other words, an ancient scribe could have +been structurally marginal vis-à-vis the macrosociety if he had been excluded from his +role as retainer by someone with higher scribal status or some elite patron. From a +microsocial perspective, however, such scribes were not marginals. Given levels of +literacy in antiquity, even scribes of relatively low status in the macrosociety would have +had relatively high status in villages or voluntary associations. What becomes more + +73 Eusebius writes: “As that time also Origen‟s commentaries on the divine scriptures had their beginning +at the instigation of Ambrose, who not only plied him with innumerable verbal exhortations and +encouragements, but also provided him unstintingly with what was necessary. As [Origen] dictated there +were ready at hand more than seven shorthand writers (taxugra/foi), who relieved each other at fixed +times, and as many copyists (bibliogra/foi), as well as girls trained for beautiful writing (ko/raij e1pi\ to\ +kalligrafei=n h$skhme/naij); for all of these Ambrose supplied without stint the necessary means. +(Eusebius HE 6.23; trans LCC, modified by Haines-Eitzen). + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +552 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +significant, then, are “we-they” judgments of one group by another. That is precisely what +we have in relation to the Pharisees and the Matthean group. + +Even if the authors of Q and Mark are considered to be village scribes, as some +have suggested, it seems to me that the Matthean author exemplified a higher level +scribalism and, indeed, in the traditional Judaean religious context, approximated the role +of the Torah scholar. This is indicated by his level of writing, his striking interpretations of +the Torah in relation to matters of Judaean concern, his possible bi-lingualism, and his +perceived Pharisaic opponents: “their scribes” and “their synagogues.” It might be +reinforced by his attention to details of wealth and the probability that he was urban. While +this description of the Matthean scribe is common in Matthean studies, it also says that +from the perspective of structural marginality in the macrosociety the author of Matthew +was not a marginal scribe in the most usual sense of that term. It is still possible, of course, +that he was marginal in the definitional sense of Germani: he was not fulfilling a role +expected of him. However, that is quite conjectural. Most important, in a “textual +community” in which a “sacral graphocentrism” was at work – even if the vast majority +could not read and the gospel functioned as a guide for community leaders – it suggests +that he had scribal power – over texts and through texts. + +9.2 +Social role marginality and ideological marginality +Germani‟s more inclusive definitional view is similar to Billson‟s notion of social role +marginality, and I would approach it the same way. Had the Matthean writer been denied +his social role as a scribe in society at large? It is not impossible, but conjectural. It is +tantalizing to suggest that if he had, he would have regained prestige in his social role as +a leader of a marginal group that did not conform to the beliefs, norms, and behavior of +either the macrosociety or an emergent opponent group (the Pharisees). In such a case, +his literacy power would have been transferred, even enhanced, in a “voluntary +association” (Duling 1998, 1999a). Thus, ironically, being part of a voluntarily group +considered by outsiders to be marginal – ideological marginality – could easily have led +to status enhancement. In other words, social role marginality in the macrosociety would +have been offset by social role leadership within the Matthean group. While the author‟s + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +553 +scribal leadership in his group can be defended (Duling 1995, 1997), this tantalizing +possibility remains, again, speculative. + +9.3 +Cultural marginality +Analyzing the Matthean author from the perspective of cultural marginality is more +promising if psychological “maladjustment” analyses are avoided. The description +between two or more “historic traditions, languages, political loyalties, moral codes, and +religions” fits the Matthean author very well. The most probable cause for his cultural +marginality is his ideological marginality, that is, his “voluntary outsiderhood” as a +member of a Christ-believing group.74 In other words, while he comes from the more +literate and educated classes, it aligns him with many who were structurally marginal (the +more common sense) in his group, that is, those at the bottom of the social ladder. + +This “inbetween-ness” and the conflict, tensions, and stress that accompany seems +to pervade the gospel. I illustrate with three major areas of debate and then with several +well known examples. + + “Jewish Christianity” or “Christian Judaism”? Had the Matthean group separated +from Judaean groups (extra muros) or not (intra muros)? Was this a group still +fundamentally within the various Israelite groupings as Kilpatrick, the early +Bornkamm, Hummel, W D Davies (and Allison), Goulder, Overman, Saldarini, +Levine, and Sim think? Or was it a separatist Jesus Movement group as the later +Bornkamm, Stendahl, Schweizer, Hare, Trilling, Strecker, Kümmel, Luz, Stanton, +and Hagner believe?75 The literature is filled with cautious evaluations and +qualifications, so that the former often see some sort of transition beginning to +taking place, while the latter often think of some recent separation. The +expressions “Christian Judaism” and “Jewish Christianity” have symbolized the + +74 I suggested that it is, like the synagogue, a form of voluntary association that goes beyond the faction +coalition (Duling 1995a). + +75 See the surveys in Rohde (1968); Stanton (1985, 1992); Davies & Allison (1997); and Senior (1999). +For Stanton see (1992a, 1992b): “shortly after a painful separation from Judaism” (p 142). See his remarks +about Saldarini and in defense of his “new people”-separatism view (Stanton 1994:17). Hare (2000) has +renewed his defense of this position. + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +554 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +fine line issue and some scholars attempt a mediating position. Occasionally +referring to my earlier study, Donald Senior titles his recent contribution, +“Between two worlds: Gentile and Judaean Christians in Matthew‟s gospel.”76 I +suggest that such “in between-ness” would have been typical of a culturally +marginal scribe. + The Mission. Closely related to this question, scholars have long debated whether +the mission is to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” as Jesus is recorded to +have said in the mission speech (Mt 10:6; cp 15:24), or is to “all the peoples,” +often understood as Gentiles, as the resurrected Jesus finally commands at the +end of the story (Mt 28:19).77 The difficulty of this question has led to mediating +solutions such as a both/and salvation historical sequence, or a both/and Gentile +mission that nonetheless is still open to Judaeans, or a both/and Diaspora mission +that does not exclude Gentiles. Such ambiguity would have been typical of a +culturally marginal scribe. + Was our scribe himself a Judaean or a Gentile? His focus on the Scripture and +Torah matters have led most scholars, especially those who think of the gospel as +Judaean, to think of some kind of Judaean author. But would a Judaean have used +Hebrew poetic parallelism so oddly and not mention circumcision?78 What of the +apparent confusion about parties mentioned at the outset of this paper? John +Meier (1991:18), who holds that the author was a Gentile, lists in support the +views of Clark, Nepper-Christensen, Strecker, Trilling, Walker, Van Tilborg, +Pesch, and Franke-mölle, though not all are quite so explicit. I suggest that the +author was a marginal Judaean scribe who was “in between” in a variety of ways, +thus giving rise to difficulty of answering the question. + +These are three major issues in Matthean research, all of which look slightly different +under the lens of cultural marginality. Let us briefly note several other possibilities. + +76 Senior (1999); near his conclusion he develops my 1993 study of marginality. + +77 On the interpretation of “all the ethnē” as “all the Gentiles,” see Hare and Harrington (1975). Recently, +see Jackson (2000). + +78 For the view that circumcision is taken for granted in the gospel, see Sim (1996). + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +555 +9.4 +Consider politics +On the one hand, there is an implied political conflict with the elite in the story of Herod +and the infant Jesus, as Horsley (1989b) has argued, and many anti-elitist political stances +lie just under the surface of the story, as Warren Carter (1004, 2000, 2001) thinks. Yet, +Pontius Pilate seems to get off fairly easily. Again, had the author of Matthew held a +position in administration at one time? Was he not “in between” with regard to the larger +political world? + +9.5 +Consider economics +What was our scribe‟s position on wealth? On the one hand, Jesus‟ parable says that +those who feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the +naked, and visit the sick and imprisoned will be rewarded at the judgment. This parable +has been seen as a paradigm for the gospel (Mt 25:31-46; see Donahue 1986). Yet, +Jesus‟ beatitude is, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” not “you poor,” as in Luke, and in the +anointing at Bethany story Jesus observes that, “you always have the poor with you” (Mt +26:11). He consistently uses large sums of money (see Kingsbury 1978). The tendency +today is to link the writer with an urban context and wealth. Had he not yet fully +identified with the lower level structural marginals in his groups? + +9.6 +Consider gender +Had our scribe moved beyond the patriarchalism of his culture? On the one hand, the +faith of the Canaanite woman – also a Gentile – is so great that Jesus heals her daughter +(Mt 15:21-28; see Anderson 1983:10-17) and the woman at Bethany will be remembered +for her symbolic act (Mt 26:6-13). Yet, the male Jesus and his male disciples control the +story and it is men who have the lusty eye (Mt 5:27). Again, while patriarchalism +dominates, there are tensions typical of a cultural marginal. + +This is only a sampling of possibilities. One might add “between languages,”79 +“between Torah conservatism and Torah abandonment,”80 “between fasting approp- + +79 The problem is whether his scriptural citations, which represent Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Syriac, +represent language versions or simply a text tradition still in flux. + +80 Mt 5:17-20 compared with the antitheses in Mt 5:21-48; my view is in Duling (1991). + +Matthew as marginal scribe +556 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +riately and not fasting at all,”81 and the like. Each in its own way might illustrate the “in +between-ness” of the cultural marginal. + +The Matthean scribe was culturally marginal. He was clearly “in-between.” This +seems clear in the “in-between-ness” of his own leadership role. Though he perpetuated +the radical Jesus movement tradition, especially represented by Q, he was, in Lucretia +Yaghjian‟s (1996:209) terms, scribaliterate and inserted “have you not read ... ?” into +four challenge-riposte settings, which hints at his own view of the power of literacy.82 He +asserted his power over sacred texts by his choices of quotations and how they are to be +read. He asserted his power through the sacred texts by his notion of fulfillment. He +asserted such power also by his redaction of the Jesus sources and traditions. Yet, he was +an ideological marginal (and perhaps a social role marginal) who associated with and +gave hope to the structurally marginal in the narrower sense. That is one main reason +why his narrative is “gospel.” + +10. +IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MATTHEAN SOCIAL CONTEXT +What about the Matthean scribe‟s first readers or hearers? 83 Recently Richard Bauckham +(1999) has put forth the view that scholars have simply assumed but not argued that each +evangelist wrote his gospel for one specific community. His alternative proposition is +that the gospels were not written for a specific community, as were Paul‟s letters, but for +all the churches of the Jesus Movement.84 + +Graham Stanton‟s suggestion some years ago, that the First Gospel may have +circulated as a “foundation document” in a cluster of Judaean Christ-believing commu- +nities, seems to be a middle ground. For Stanton (1994:17), those communities were +probably in Syria and the gospel story offered “legitimizing answers” for a “new + +81 Jesus‟ disciples are said not to have fasted but the narrative says that Jesus himself did (Mt 4:2) and that +the wedding guests would fast after the bridegroom is taken away (Mt 9:14-17); indeed, it offers +instructions on how to fast (Mt 6:16-18). + +82 Mt 12:3, 5 to Pharisees (about David and the priests); Mt 19:4 to High Priests and (their) scribes (out of +the mouth of babes); Mt 21:42 to Pharisees, chief priests, and elders of the people (rejected cornerstone); +Mt 22:31 to Sadducees (I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). + +83 For my view on authorial readers and real readers, see Duling (1998, 1999a). + +84 My thanks to Andries van Aarde for pointing me to Bauckham‟s interesting paper. + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +557 +people.”85 Stanton‟s less ambitious regional hypothesis seems to me more likely. +Probably an evangelist knew of Christ-believing groups within a particular region. This +more limited view fits some things that we know about regionalism, for example, clusters +of towns and villages and networking among them. + +Elaine Wainwright (1999) suggests that we need to take the 90-95% of the +population, the structurally marginal ones mentioned in the gospel, more seriously. I +have listed some of them above. + +If we put these two suggestions together, it is possible that local scribal recipients +of gospels read them aloud to Christ-believing groups in a particular region and these +groups consisted mainly of structurally marginal persons in the usual sense (Paul‟s +majority in 1 Corinthians 1). Indeed, “Let the reader understand” already in Mark +(13:14; Mt 24:15: o( a)naginw/skwn noei/tw) might have been an “aside” (if it was not a +gloss) to a public house-church reader who would need to explain the code language to +his assembled listeners. In the Matthean gospel this could be correlated with the many +admonitions about right hearing and understanding.86 If the author was a scribe, as I +have assumed and argued in this paper, there is an analogy in the network of scribes in +ancient Egypt (see Appendix 3). If we consider the Matthean scribe to be a Torah scholar +with some authority in his network, he may well have written a gospel story that others, +perhaps village scribes, would have read to their listeners. The Matthean author might be +analogous to the Basilikos Grammateus who writes to topogrammatei=j or +kwmogrammatei=j in the churches (voluntary associations) of the towns and villages of +his region (see Appendix 3).87 + +I have suggested that the Matthean scribe was a cultural marginal. His cultural +marginality, evidenced by a number of ambiguities, can be found scattered throughout his + +85 His clearly has Mt 21:43 in mind: “Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from +you and given to a people [e!qnh] producing the fruits of it.” + +86 Hearing: 11:15; 13:9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 26, 43; 15:8, 10; 21:16, 33, 45; 22:22, 33; +15:8, 10; 21:16, 33, 45; 22:23; understanding: 11:25; 13:13, 14, 15, 19, 23; 15:10; 16; 24:15 (see +Wainwright 1999). + +87 The Menches archives mention “brother officials” (Appendix 3); curiously, I have argued that the +Matthean ekklēsia is something like a brotherhood. In the sense just described, one would have to think of a +cluster of churches/brotherhoods. + + +Matthew as marginal scribe +558 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +gospel. That cultural marginality may have grown out of his ideological marginality +which identified him, though somewhat incompletely, with the structurally marginal.88 In +other words, his “in between-ness” may have grown out of his voluntary association with +the have-nots and those who do not participate in the roles expected of them – in those +communities where his story was read and heard. + +In short, marginality, especially cultural marginality, enhances what it means to +be a scribe “instructed for the Kingdom bringing out of his storehouse what is old and +what is new.” + +88 For my view on ideology and society, see Duling (1997). + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +559 +APPENDIX I: +CASTE, CLASS, AND STRUCTURAL MARGINALITY +To speak of marginality it is necessary to have some conception of the center. In +Germani‟s work that center is the “normative scheme.” A complication is that Germani‟s +analysis highlights “modernization” and modern consciousness. A further complication +is that to a certain extent the very notion of marginality came about historically because +of the industrial revolution and modern conceptions about political freedom, economic +development, and secure employment. Thus, one must be cautious in applying such +concepts to ancient society. I have assumed that they are useable at a rather high level of +abstraction. + +Germani says that there are instances where the normative system is so +internalized that there is no consciousness of marginality. In such cases a stratified social +system is seen as part of the + +… natural or divine order, usually rationalized in religious or equivalent +terms. This is the case of a caste society…: slaves see themselves as their +masters see them. In such a society the very concept of marginality does not +emerge as a social perception scheme. In effect, this occurs only when +participation becomes problematic or conflicting because there exists more +than one normative scheme (or it has become internally incoherent), and/or +necessary resources do not exist, or not accessible, and/or members of one or +more categories do not possess required personal conditions. + +(Germani 1980:52) + +Mediterranean society was not a rigid caste society; yet, it was highly stratified and one +might make the argument that in some ways it was more like a caste society than a +modern society. How acute could the consciousness of marginality have been? +Certainly, the existence of political and familial, as well as economic, social, and +religious reform movements (factions, parties, sects, philosophical movements, etc) +suggests that a marginal consciousness was possible. To help reflect about such +questions, consider Germani‟s Table 1 as a model. Here Germani criss-crosses three +possible degrees of participation in the “normative structure” with four possible kinds of +consciousness of marginality. + +Matthew as marginal scribe +560 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +GERMANI’S TABLE 1 (pp 66-67) +Degree of participation in terms of power, and/or +prestige, and/or wealth, and/or education, et cetera +Consciousness of +one‟s own and/or +alien marginality +Highly favored +sectors +(elites) +Middle or low +participating sectors +(partial marginality) +Marginal sectors +(generalized +marginality) + +No consciousness +of +marginality +A +Established con- +servative elites +(strictly defending +the status quo) +B +Middle and/or pop- +ular sectors, es- +tablished, conser- +vative or apathetic +(defending the status +quo) +C +Marginal sectors, +apathetic, and/or +submissive in reli- +gious and/or tradi- +tional terms + +Consciousness of +only one‟s own +marginality +D +Partially displaced +elites (intra-elite +conflicts; “palace +rebellions”) +E +Partially available +and/or mobilizabile +mass (reformist +movements) +F +Marginal people to- +tally or partially +available and mobil- +izable with propen- +sity to change, +migrate, “develop +the community” +(socio-political +movements) + +Consciousness of +one‟s own and +alien marginality +G +Elites partially +displaced (reformist +or revolutionary +propensity in +alliance with other +sectors, exercising +leadership) +H +Available or +mobilizable mass +(reformist or +revolutionary +propensity, in +alliance with other +sectors) +I + + +(Slightly probable) + +Consciousness of +only alien +marginality +J +Established elites +(reformist +tendencies; change +within the +established order) +K +Established middle +and popular sectors +(reformist +tendencies) +L +(Improbable or +impossible) + +One might correlate the three degrees of participation (across the top) with various levels +of vertical stratification in the macromodel and distribution system. Consciousness of +marginality might be correlated with various types of groups and movements within that +society. The author of Matthew might be put in the G quadrant and most structurally +marginal persons in the C and F quadrants. + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +561 +APPENDIX 2: +CULTURAL MARGINALITY AND CROSS-CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY +J W Berry (1990:210) is interested in the degree to which groups or persons in an +acculturating group (B) want or do not want to assimilate to the dominant group (A). He +posits four degrees of acculturation, only one of which leads to marginality. Reminiscent +of the classical formulations of cultural marginality (“the Marginal Man”), he refers to a +person who is “trapped between his two possible identity groups, neither accepting nor +being accepted by them. As a result he retreats into the social and behavioral sink of +marginalization ....” (Berry 1990:218). I have transformed his question-answer data- +gathering model into quadrants that might be useful for reflecting about antiquity. + + + + + + + + + + + +Model: Four Degrees of Acculturation + +Berry wants to illustrate what happens to the behavior of people as a result of culture +contact over time. In the following figure the four types of acculturation (vertical axis) +are related to phases of developing stress over time (horizontal axis). I have suggested in +the paper that statements about psychological “maladjustment” in interpretations of +cultural marginality (critiqued by Lee) be replaced by more neutral social-scientific terms +from the following figure, that is, conflict, tension, and stress.89 In this figure, cultural +marginality in Matthew is characterized by conflict and increased tension.90 + +89 For a similar attempt to de-psychologize psychological stress theories themselves, see Duling (2001a). + +90 Malina (1986b) has suggested that a degree of sociological ambivalence is culturally acceptable. +IT IS NOT A VALUE TO +MAINTAIN CULTURAL IDENTITY +AND CHARACTERISTICS +IT IS A VALUE TO MAINTAIN +CULTURAL IDENTITY AND +CHARACTERISTICS + INTEGRATION +SEPARATION +IT IS A +VALUE TO +MAINTAIN +RELATION- +SHIPS WITH +OTHER +GROUPS +IT IS NOT A +VALUE TO +MAINTAIN +RELATION- +SHIPS WITH +OTHER +GROUPS + ASSIMILATION +MARGINALIZATION + +Matthew as marginal scribe +562 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 + + + + + + +[] +[] + + + + + + + + PHASE: precontact contact conflict + crisis + adaptations + + (time ) + +ACCULTURATIVE + + STRESS low + stressors tension + high + variable + PHENOMENA: stress + appear + increases stress + stress + +Figure: Degree of Cultural and Psychological Change as a Function of Phases and +Varieties of Acculturation + + + +Adopting Berry‟s cross-cultural social acculturation language of conflict, tension, +and stress might help to counteract the “maladjustment” (e g, social illness) language of +some interpretations of cultural marginality. + + + + Rela- + tive + degree + of + cultural + and + behav- + ioral + change +HIGH +LOW +Assimilation +Integration +Separation +Marginalization + + + +D C Duling +HTS 58(2) 2002 + +563 +Appendix 3: + + +Country + + + + +Dioiketes + + + + + + + + + +Nome + + + + + +District + + + + +Village + + + + +Lines of Correspondence between Menches, the Village Scribe, and his superiors +and subordinates (Verhoogt 1998:71) + + + + + +strategos +overseer of the +revenues +Basilikos +Grammateus +overseer of the +assignment of +katoikoi hippeis +topogrammateus +Menches +“brother +officials” +komarches + +Matthew as marginal scribe +564 + +HTS 58(2) 2002 +Works consulted +Ackroyd, P R & Evans, C F 1970.

May 1968 was one of the most important events in French after the Second World War. The movement began on 3 may by the students and was able to invite other groups until June 1968. It was marked by the action of May 13, 1968, which involves workers to participate in events with students. Success cannot be done without the pamphlets as a means of communication to invite and mobilize the community to carry out the demonstration and general strike. Yet, in the making of pamphlets we should take care of the choice of words and sentences due to space limitations. Using qualitative methods and literature study techniques, this article describes the sentential structure of calls to the corpus of action to pamphlets, based on Querler‘s theory of sentence structure (1994). The freedom of the authors towards space limitations led to structural differences in each pamphlet becoming corpus. However, the use of optional expansion, the compilation of sentences and the use of punctuation significantly facilitated two groups of society in the action of May 13, 1968 to understand the reasons for and the objectives of the action to implement. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/96455aadd37cc001.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/96455aadd37cc001.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c25095fa12c8db24b1e4cad2707054f57f5d63e7 --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/96455aadd37cc001.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +Modern forensic psychiatric hospital design: clinical, legal and structural aspects + +Forensic psychiatric care must be provided within the least restrictive setting possible, whilst simultaneously maintaining appropriate levels of security. This presents particular challenges for the design of forensic psychiatric hospitals, which are required to provide both a therapeutic and a safe material environment, often for extended periods of treatment and rehabilitation. By taking into consideration variable trends in psychiatric service provision and myriad clinical, legal and ethical issues, interdisciplinary forensic facility design teams are at the very forefront in implementing the latest developments in medical architecture. Also, although there are significant differences in how forensic psychiatric services are organized around the world, the underlying clinical challenges and increasingly research-based treatment principles are similar worldwide; it is therefore becoming less acceptable to operate and develop national forensic services without reference to international standards. Accordingly, we here review the literature on what features of forensic psychiatric facilities best serve the needs of those patients who need to rely on them, and we present a systematic and widely applicable approach to the complex and costly challenge of modern forensic psychiatric hospital design. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/corpus/humanities/text/97d50622f48e1b34.txt b/corpus/humanities/text/97d50622f48e1b34.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9c10739e6ddeada2bcc79b7cc479159b6082a7ec --- /dev/null +++ b/corpus/humanities/text/97d50622f48e1b34.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +Correction: Do intangible factors enhance sociocultural productivity and economy in world heritage sites? + +A correction refers to a change to their article that the author wishes to publish after publication.

Barcelona: Destino, 1948: 182) +Aquí el escritor, gran aficionado al habla popular, pone en boca del personaje +una expresión limitada efectivamente al ámbito rural castellano, que designa +una “acción inútil que sólo sirve para darse importancia”4. +Si las secuencias “presentadas” son casi siempre de la lengua estándar, cabe +preguntarse la razón de tal ilusión dialectológica. ¿Sobre qué base la conciencia +lingüística de los hablantes percibe –con razón o sin ella– que dichas expre- +siones se alejan de la norma común? +2 +Variación diatópica fraseológica y comunicación +No son muchos los estudios a gran escala sobre fraseología diatópica5 y no +existen (todavía) Atlas dialectales completos especializados en la fraseología, +incluso las colecciones de proverbios y/o de locuciones “regionales” se limitan +a unas pocas lenguas. A excepción de Italia, y, más recientemente, Galicia o +Canarias, los diccionarios de fraseología con vocación y metodología dialecto- +lógicas son todavía un bien escaso6. Aunque algunos Atlas dialectales en curso +sí cuentan con fraseólogos en su equipo7, se puede afirmar que, en general, la +fraseografía diatópica sigue estando claramente atrasada si se compara con la +lexicografía o la fonética (Luque Durán 2008). Las razones de dicho atraso +estarían en la tradicional priorización del léxico frente a las locuciones en la +metodología tanto lexicográfica como dialectológica (Haensch, 1986: 286; Ca- +sado Velarde, 2005: 689-690). P. ej., González Aguiar (2007: 237-238) observa +que compendios lexicográficos de variantes del español como el Tesoro lexico- +gráfico del español de Canarias, el Tesoro léxico de las hablas riojanas, el Diccionario +4 +Existe una variante amplificada que le añade pa’ que retumbe, y otra variante con el verbo +peerse, propia de los montes de Toledo (Sánchez Miguel, 2016). +5 +Citemos p. ej. a Morvay (1986, 2000); Franceschi (1994; 1999, 2000; 2002); Ferro (1987); +Burger (2000); Piirainen (2000); Rivas (2000); Lamiroy et al. (2010); Gargallo (2005, 2008, +2010, 2011a); Núñez Román (2013a, 2013b); Mogorrón (2014a, 2014b, 2015a, 2015b); Cua- +drado (2016). +6 +P. ej., el diccionario paremiológico ruso de Walter & Mokienko (2007) es de los pocos que señalan +el ámbito regional de las unidades censadas. +7 +P. ej., para el árabe tunecino, Baccouche et al. (1998); Mejri & Lamalle (2004); Baccouche & Mejri +(2005), Ben-Amor (2016); Kouki (2016), o, para el portugués de Brasil, Razky (2016); Negri & +Marques (2016), o Moura (2016). + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +58 +de las hablas leonesas, el Tesoro lexicográfico del español de Puerto Rico o el Tesoro +lexicográfico de las hablas andaluzas no han logrado ningún progreso en el cam- +po de la fraseología dialectal porque se basan sólo en las palabras y no en las +expresiones polilexicales. +Por su parte, la fraseografía adolecía hasta hace poco de escasa profesionalidad +en materia de diatopía, así compendios prestigiosos como el Gran diccionario +de frases hechas (Carratalá et al., 2001) o el Diccionario de Refranes, Dichos y Pro- +verbios (Junceda, 2006), ni siquiera dicen en su prólogo cuáles son las variantes +del español que han investigado; González Aguiar añade que el Diccionario +fraseológico documentado del español actual (Seco et al. 2004) no se ocupa de los +americanismos, y, dentro de España, utiliza a menudo la marca reg. (“regio- +nal”) pero sin especificar el área (González Aguiar, 2007: 237-238). +Otro gran problema es que las expresiones recogidas en los diccionarios dia- +lectales son a menudo compartidas por muchas otras regiones o incluso son +comunes a todas (González Aguiar, 2007: 236; Mogorrón, 2014a: 138), a veces +hasta se trata de frasemas existentes en todas las lenguas europeas (siendo re- +gistrados como tales por Piirainen, 2012; WIEB, 2012; Paczolay, 1995 o Sevilla +et al. 1997-2016) 8. Así, hay diccionarios fraseológicos sobre el español de Ar- +gentina o de Chile, llenos de frasemas que también se dan en español europeo, +e incluso pan-hispánicos (cf. Cicottino, 2010; Barcia y Pauer, 2010; Morales +Pettorino, 2006), y lo mismo se puede decir de obras como el Repertorio de +modismos andaluces (Barrios, 1991). Ello parece deberse a ciertos desajustes mu- +tuos entre la metodología de los fraseógrafos y la de los dialectólogos9. +Naturalmente, la excepción serían los frasemas que contienen palabras dialec- +talmente identificables. P. ej. una fórmula como cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy +conchúo, que se dice para responder a quien reprocha a otros un defecto que él +también tiene, es geo-localizable en la medida en que sus componentes léxicos +también lo son. En este caso, la voz cachicamo “armadillo” es propia de Ecua- +dor, Perú y Venezuela (RAE, 2011]) y morrocoy “tortuga” es una palabra de +8 +P. ej. incluyendo expresiones tan internacionales como perro ladrador, poco mordedor; ing. +barking dogs seldom bite; alm. Hunde, die bellen, beißen nicht; hu. amelyik kutya ugat, az nem harap; +pt. cão que ladra não morde; it. can che abbaia, non morde (Pazcolay 1997); rs. не всякая собака +кyсает, которая лает (Mokienko, 2001); gr. σκυλί που γαβγίζει, δε δαγκώνει (Sevilla et +al., 1997-2016). +9 +Salvo algunos fraseógrafos diacronistas-dialectólogos (p. ej., Mokienko, 1980, 1986; Buri- +dant, 1989; Di Stefano, 1991; Mejri & Lamalle, 2004; Filátkina et al., 2012; Gargallo, 2005, +2008, 2010, 2011; González Aguiar, 2005, 2007, 2008). + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +59 +origen cumanagoto10 usada en Venezuela. Otra pista podría ser que el referente +de dicho componente literal, se conozca sólo en unas regiones. Sin embargo, +no es menos cierto que estos frasemas representan un caso muy minoritario. +Los diccionarios dialectales generales son, en comparación con los fraseológicos, +mucho más coherentes, pero los frasemas tienen en ellos un rol discreto y peri- +férico11. En cuanto a los diccionarios generales, a veces contienen información +diatópica, a veces contienen frasemas, pero casi nunca ambas cosas a la vez. En +el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española (RAE, 2001), de los 3447 regio- +nalismos marcados como tales para el territorio de España, solamente 46 son +frasemas (González Aguiar, 2007); y entre las 1121 unidades léxicas marcadas +como mejicanismos, sólo hay 28 fraseologismos (Morvay, 2000: 279-280). Por +si fuera poco, Mogorrón observa notorias discrepancias, incluso en diccionarios +dialectológicos, al atribuir una región a los americanismos fraseológicos: +[...] el Diccionario de mexicanismos [DM] afirma que comer gente +(“censurar o hablar mal de las personas”) se usa en México +mientras el Diccionario de americanismos [DDAM] indica que se +usa en Nicaragua y en Costa Rica. Lo mismo sucede con ganarse +los fríjoles (“ganarse la vida”) señalada también por el [DM] +como mexicanismo, mientras que el [DDAM] señala que su +zona de influencia es Nicaragua, Cuba y Ecuador (Mogorrón, +2014a: 138). +Algunas colecciones recientes empiezan a paliar por fin estas carencias desde +el campo de la fraseología. Para el español, podemos citar, entre otros, traba- +jos tan importantes como los de Morvay sobre el español mejicano (1986), el +Diccionario de expresiones y refranes del español de Canarias de Ortega Ojeda y +González Aguiar (2000), el Diccionario fraseológico del habla argentina de Bar- +cia y Pauer (2010). González Aguiar (2007: 238-239) cita otros proyectos en +curso como el Diccionario fraseológico hispánico dirigido por Kubarth en Graz; +el Diccionario de fraseología de la Academia Argentina, la Fraseología del español +hablado en Córdoba dirigida por M.ª Teresa Toniolo o el Diccionario fraseológico +on-line del español (difrasoles), que dirige Mazilescu en Augsburgo. +10 Pueblo amerindio de la familia caribe que habitó en la antigua provincia de Nueva Andalu- +cía o Cumaná, y cuyos descendientes habitan actualmente al norte del estado de Anzoátegui, +en Venezuela (RAE, 2011). +11 González Aguiar (2006, 2009) destaca la honrosa excepción del inacabado Diccionario de andalucis- +mos del folclorista decimonónico J. M. Sbarbi, gran precursor de la fraseografía diatópica, +que también aportó información sobre frasemas de Hispanoamérica en su Diccionario de +refranes, adagios, proverbios, modismos, locuciones, y frases proverbiales de la lengua española. + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +60 +Mención aparte merece el proyecto en curso frasytram, dirigido por Pedro +Mogorrón en la Universidad de Alicante (una base de datos fraseológica multi- +lingüe que recoge todas las variedades diatópicas de España y América), hecho +en cooperación con el proyecto ecos Norte, de las universidades de Paris-13 +y de Puebla (cf. Mejri y Mogorrón, 2014; Mogorrón, 2010, 2014, 2015; Blan- +co, 2011, 2015; Meneses, 2012, 2015). Por ejemplo, la tesis de Cuadrado Rey +(2016: 23-26), en el marco de frasytram, empieza por seleccionar un corpus +de unidades fraseológicas propias del español hablado en Argentina y que no estén +registradas en el due de María Moliner ni en la 23ª edición del drae. Las +unidades compartidas por varios dialectos exigen completar la información ya +disponible en los diccionarios mediante estudios de corpus (p. ej. WebCorp, +crea, corpes, etc.) y de encuestas sociolingüísticas, con cuestionarios sobre +competencia pasiva y activa (Cuadrado Rey, 2010: 97-110). +En su tesis sobre la fraseología chilena, Moreno Nilo (2015: 214) considera que +deberían distinguirse, como mínimo, los frasemas usados en la totalidad del es- +pacio hispanohablante (echar leña al fuego; tirar la toalla), los que se usan sólo +en España (partirse de risa; hincar los codos), los que se usan en muchos países de +América (ser uña y mugre) pero no en España (ser uña y carne), y los que se usan +sólo en Chile (andar pato para “estar sin un duro”). Las investigaciones del hispa- +nista japonés Kazumi Koike, dentro del macroproyecto dialectológico varilex, +distinguen entre las locuciones preferentemente empleadas en España, las preferen- +temente empleadas en América y las preferentemente empleadas en zonas restringidas, +llegando a establecer una frontera entre los frasemas propios de España y los +propios del Nuevo Mundo, a pesar de las irregularidades geográficas que afectan +a las variantes. Sus encuestas le permiten identificar las locuciones de carácter +general, empleadas en todo el ámbito hispano, como no tener pelos en la lengua, que +obtiene una media de 92,1 % en las respuestas, quitar de en medio (93,4 %), o meter +la pata (89,6 %) (Koike, 2001). En cambio, su sinónimo ganarse las habichuelas está +registrado en España, buscarse los frijoles en Perú, buscarse los porotos en México, +buscarse la papa en Santo Domingo, ganarse el puchero en Argentina (Mogorrón, +2015b), sin que ello implique necesariamente la exclusividad de dichos usos. +Es muy común que frasemas iberoamericanos mantengan el modelo original +español para introducir variaciones léxicas en sus componentes, como también +ocurre entre quien fue a Sevilla perdió la silla, o caerse de culo (España) y quien fue +a Melipilla perdió su silla, o caerse de poto (Chile) (Moreno Nilo, 2015: 215, 241). +Lo ideal sería obviamente lograr un Atlas fraseológico, identificando y deli- +mitando áreas fraseológicas y paremiológicas con isoglosas para cada frasema, + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +61 +especialmente ahora que la fraseología regional parece en peligro de extin- +ción, como advierte Mokienko, uno de los pocos lingüistas que cuentan con +la doble formación como fraseólogo y dialectólogo (cf. Nikolaeva, 2011: 16). +Un ejemplo muy cercano a este objetivo serían los trabajos realizados por dia- +lectólogos del Centro Universitario di Geoparemiologia de Florencia (Franceschi +1994, 1999, 2000), el proyecto BFQS sobre las variedades “nacionales” en la +fraseología de Bélgica, Francia, Suiza y Quebec (Lamiroy et al. 2010) o el pro- +yecto badare, una base de datos de refranes meteorológicos en los dialectos +de toda la Romania (Gargallo, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2011b). +Si la fraseología diatópica resulta mal conocida para los especialistas, es dudoso +que la pertenencia de un frasema a un dialecto sea lo que realmente motiva la +presencia de los mencionados conectores en el discurso de los “hablantes inge- +nuos”. Un factor que contribuye a esta ilusión diatópica es quizás el hecho de que, +si la frase hecha empleada fuese realmente dialectal, el fracaso comunicativo +sería considerable, mucho más que el causado por la variación fonética o gra- +matical. Si un español viaja a Argentina no le serán tan problemático el acento +o la morfología de esta región como su fraseología, que le puede resultar casi +tan incomprensible como la de un idioma extranjero. Valgan estos ejemplos: +(9) - Estar en pampa y la vía “estar sin dinero”; +(10) - Romperse el bocho “reflexionar mucho sobre algo”; +(11) - Correr la coneja “pasar mucha hambre” (Koike, 2001); +(12) - Ser medio leche hervida “enfadarse con facilidad”; +(13) - Estar en los cuernos de la luna “ser muy popular en este momento”; +(14) - Limpiar el calamar “masturbarse” (Ciccotino, 2010); +(15) - Ser el gordito de la pelota “ser el más inútil en un grupo que se ve obligado +a admitirnos”; +(16) - Guiñar la oreja “trampa consistente en marcar la esquina de un naipe +para reconocerlo”; +(17) - Hacer la bibicleta “aplazar el pago de una deuda a especular con el dinero +de la misma”; +(18) - Levantar el muerto “pagar una deuda ajena” (Barcia; Pauer, 2010); +(19) - Mandar fruta “hablar sin decir nada para crear confusión” (Cuadrado +2016). + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +62 +Tampoco estos ejemplos mejicanos parecen comprensibles para un hablante +peninsular: +(20) - Estar salado “tener mala suerte”; +(21) - Soltar la sopa “decir lo que se debiera guardar en secreto”; +(22) - Valerle madres “no importarle nada”; +(23) - Estar crudo “tener resaca tras emboracharse” (Koike, 2001); +(24) - Te chilla la ardilla “te huele el sobaco”; +(25) - Echarse un coyotito “dormir la siesta”; +(26) - Hacer de chivo los tamales “engañar; hacer trampas”; +(27) - Ya le cayó el chahuiztle “lo agarraron con las manos en la masa” ([CHLG]); +(28) - Parir chayotes “hacer algo difícil con gran esfuerzo, sufriendo”; +(29) - Aguantar un piano “ser excelente”; +(30) - Comerse la torta antes del recreo “casarse de penalti”; +(31) - Con pendejos ni a misa pues se hincan en los gargajos “frase despectiva para +ahuyentar malas compañías”; +(32) - Chupar faros “empobrecerse, entrar en crisis económica”; +(33) - Tener garganta de mariachi “beber más que una esponja” (Petersen 2007); +(34) - Volverse ojo de hormiga “desaparecer alguien mañosa e intensionalmente”; +(35) - Bailar el oso “retar a una pelea”; +(36) - Agarrar de botana “tomar a alguien como blanco de bromas o burlas”; +(37) - Ahorcar la gallina “practicar el coito” (Meneses Lerín, 2015). +Como tampoco lo son estos frasemas colombianos: +(38) - Desayunarse con alacranes “iniciar el día estando ya de mal genio”; +(39) - Cójame este trompo en la uña a ver si tataratea “se usa para preguntar cómo +le parece lo sucedido”; +(40) - Busca tu charco babilla “advertencia que se le hace a una persona para que +no se ocupe asuntos ajenos”; +(41) - Alzarse la bata “despreocuparse de cualquier tipo de obligación” / “irse +de parranda”; + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +63 +(42) - Estar como macho de viuda “estar una persona descuidada, abandonada”; +(43) - Agárrate sobaco pela’o que lo que viene es Yodora “advertencia ante el anun- +cio de dificultades”; +(44) - Dar como a violín prestao “golpear a alguien sin consideración”; +(45) - Ser como caña brava en chorro “estar temblando de miedo”; +(46) - Si quiere más que le piquen caña “se utiliza con personas que teniendo lo +mejor, aún quieren o piden más”; +(47) - Estar más tragado que calzoncillo de ciclista “se usa para designar a una +persona que está muy enamorada”; +(48) - Tener guayabo “tener malestar al día siguiente, después de haber bebido +mucho”; +(49) - Andar veraneado “no haber tenido relaciones sexuales en un largo +tiempo”(Espejo 2016); +(50) - Dar papaya “brindar oportunidad a alguien para que se aproveche y +tome ventaja de algo” +(51) - Dárselas de mucho café con leche “presumir; hacer alarde algo” (Ávila, +2016). +Esta diversidad también afecta las variedades del español peninsular. Hay fra- +seologismos que no son comprensibles de una región española a otra: +(a) León: +(52) - Tiene mil veres el tiempo “lo mismo llueve que sale el sol”; +(53) - Andar como arquilla de turronero “ser mandado constantemente de un +sitio para otro”; +(54) - Correr la napolitana “irse de juerga” (Urdiales, 1982); +(b) Andalucía: +(55) - Al pobre tío Juan se lo comen a cucharadas “dícese de una persona apocada” +(Caballero 1877); +(56) - Pegar la tostá “sumarse a una reunión haciéndose el pesado”; +(57) - Volcar la pileta “echar la casa por la ventana”; +(58) - Dar patás a la olla “actuar en contra de los intereses de uno”; + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +64 +(59) - Tener tripas por estrenar “salir con gracia de las situaciones difíciles” (de +Miguel 2006); +(c) Extremadura: +(60) - Fumarla en pipa “ser de genio fuerte”; +(61) - Dar la campaná “dar la serenata a alguien que es viudo y se casa de +segundas”; +(62) - Mal guaño lo guañe “expresión mal rayo lo parta”; +(63) - Tené güen almiré “se le dice a la persona que te ha invitado a comer a su +casa” (Romero, 2013). +Existen fraseologismos microdialectales, limitados a regiones mucho más re- +ducidas, como, p. ej., en la comarca de los Montes de Toledo: +(64) - Pintó melón y fue calabazón “resultó decepcionante”; +(65) - Tener la boca como una chaliana “hablar mucho”; +(66) - Tener el cuerpo como un albañal “sufrir una colitis”; +(67) - Estar en el bolsillo del cura “tener un pie en la tumba” (Sánchez Miguel, 2016). +Puede incluso ocurrir que una expresión esté registrada en un solo pueblo, y +que coïncida con otra de un dialecto distante, y hasta de otra lengua. En estos +casos se supone que la imagen verbal se perdió en las zonas que median entre +ambas localidades. Gargallo cita que no pasen Jorgillo y Miguelillo no te quites el +capotillo, registrado sólo en Samper de Calanda (Teruel), aunque coincide casi +textualmente con un refrán gallego astra non pasar Xurxo e Migueliño non tollas +o manteliño (2008: 61-62). +Si sumamos las variantes de toda España y toda Hispanoamérica, la variación +fraseológica diatópica es considerable. Un “obeso” puede ser tildado de albón- +diga con patas en España, pero de melón con patas en Chile, y “morirse” puede +decirse irse al otro barrio en nuestra península, pero equivale a colgar los tenis +en México (Ayala Pérez, 2005, Santamaría, 2000 apud. Luque Durán, 2008). +En Chile encontramos idiomatismos tan curiosos para nosotros como echar la +corta (“orinar”), echarse el pollo (“irse repentinamente”) o verle el ojo a la papa +(“fornicar”) (Moreno Nilo, 2015: 241). +Hay expresiones que no poseen ninguna forma panhispánica. Por ejemplo, el +hecho de que un alumno no asista a las clases no posee una locución verbal +común para todo el mundo hispano: + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +65 +(68) - Hacer novillos (Castilla); +(69) - Hacer rabona (Andalucía, Murcia, Extremadura); +(70) - Fumarse las clases (Andalucía Oriental y Murcia); +(71) - Hacerse la piarda (Málaga); +(72) - Hacer monta (Extremadura); +(73) - Hacerse la huyona (Canarias); +(74) - Hacer pellas (Madrid); +(75) - Hacer pirola, hacer pimienta (Aragón); +(76) - Hacer pira, hacer la txikarra (País Vasco); +(77) - Hacer borota (Navarra); +(78) - Hacer campana (Cataluña); +(79) - Hacer fuchina (Valencia); +(80) - Hacer la cimarra (Chile); +(81) - Hacer la chancha (Chile); +(82) - Hacerse la rata (Argentina); +(83) - Hacerse la chupina (Argentina); +(84) - Chupinearse (Argentina); +(85) - Hacer pimienta (Argentina); +(86) - Hacerse la yuta / yutear (Argentina); +(87) - Hacerse la cuca (Argentina); +(88) - Hacerse la rácula (Argentina); +(89) - Rabonearse (Argentina); +(90) - Hacerse la sincola (Argentina); +(91) - Sincolearse (Argentina); +(92) - Hacer la perra (Argentina); +(93) - Hacerse la pava (Perú, Ecuador); +(94) - Hacerse la pera (Perú, Ecuador); + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +66 +(95) - Hacer la chuña (Bolivia); +(96) - Echar la leva (Colombia); +(97) - Mamar clase (Colombia); +(98) - Capar clase (Colombia) +(99) - Capar colegio (Colombia); +(100) - Matar la clase (Colombia); +(101) - Hacer conejo (Colombia); +(102) - Sacar cera (Venezuela); +(103) - Irse de capiura (El Salvador, Honduras); +(104) - Correr el venado (México); +(105) - Pintar el venado (México); +(106) - Echarse la brincona (México); +(107) - Comer jobos (Puerto Rico); +(108) - Irse de jobillos (Puerto Rico); +(109) - Hacerse la vaca (Cuba); +(110) - Hacerse el barco (Cuba); +(111) - Comerse la guásima (Cuba)12. +Cualitativamente, se podría objetar que la barrera comunicativa entre dia- +lectos resulta aquí magnificada por el hecho de que todos estos ejemplos +hayan sido elegidos ad hoc precisamente por este criterio. Pero hay estudios +cuantitativos que apuntan a que la gran mayoría de las diferencias (com- +prensibles o no), entre el español peninsular y el americano proceden de la +fraseología (Meneses, 2015). En 2014, la base de datos del proyecto fras- +ytram ya incluía unos 29.000 frasemas verbales13, de los que más de 1000 +están registrados como hispanoamericanismos en los diccionarios españoles +vaciados, a lo que se añaden otras 8000 expresiones latinoamericanas, que no +están registradas en diccionarios españoles (Mogorrón, 2014a). Según estas +12 Ejemplos procedentes de Koike, 2001: 83; Gargallo, 2004; González Aguiar, 2007: 241; Ballo, +1911; Morvay, 1986: 319; 2000: 281; Mogorrón, 2013: 86; RAE, 2011 y posteriormente agru- +pados por países. +13 Entre locuciones verbales, colocaciones verbo-nominales; colocaciones de verbo soporte y +comparaciones estereotipadas de núcleo verbal. + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +67 +cifras, prácticamente un tercio de los fraseologismos verbales del español +serian americanismos, aunque en los diccionarios españoles apenas estén re- +presentados (Mogorrón, 2014a: 134-141)14. Por otra parte, cada país hispa- +nohablante tiene su propia variación interna. Las unidades señaladas como +mejicanismos no corresponden siempre la totalidad del territorio mejicano; +así tirar carrilla (“hacer burla”) es del área de Monterrey mientras chido baril +y coqueto (“de manera agradable”) corresponde al área de Puebla (Palacios, +2015: 46). De allí que el corpus de fraseologismos argentinos compilado por +Cuadrado Rey haya optado por limitarse a elementos usuales en amplias zonas +del país (2010: 95-96). +Las unidades fraseológicas son el principal obstáculo no sólo para el aprendi- +zaje de lenguas extranjeras o la traducción, sino también para la comprensión +entre variedades diatópicas de una misma lengua. Aunque el acompañarlas del +conector como dicen en mi pueblo no las hace más comprensibles, éste ya no pa- +rece totalmente arbitrario visto desde esta perspectiva. ¿Acaso corresponde a +una estrategia de compensación hipercorrecta, por una vaga intuición de este +fenómeno como tal, aunque se aplique al frasema equivocado? +Otra gran laguna de la dialectología son las colocaciones, que, de tan desaper- +cibidas, siguen siendo consideradas como combinaciones libres por algunos +fraseólogos (p. ej., Zuluaga, 1980; García-Page, 2008). Sin embargo, su fija- +ción, aun siendo parcial, hace que éstas se opongan no sólo a otras lenguas, +sino a otros dialectos hispanos (Koike, 2000; Luque Durán, 2008). Por otra +parte, su distribución geográfica de las variantes es tan poco previsible como +discontinua. +(112) - Armar una conversación (Chile) ≠ mantener/sostener una conversación +(España); +(113) - Entregar apoyo (Chile) ≠ prestar/dar apoyo (España); +(114) - Entregar solución (Chile) ≠ dar solución (España); +(115) - Entregar una declaración (Chile) ≠ hacer una declaración (España); +(116) - Entregar una opinión (Chile) ≠ dar una opinión (España); +(117) - Fletar una bofetada (Chile, Perú) ≠ dar/soltar/pegar una bofetada (España); +(118) - Generar una polémica (Chile, Costa Rica) ≠ desatar una polémica (España); +14 En 2015, estas cifras ascienden ya a 34.445 frasemas verbales, de los que 22.210 son peninsu- +lares y 12.235 son americanismos (Mogorrón, 2015b: 278). + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +68 +(119) - Hacer clases (Chile) ≠ dar clases (España); +(120) - Picar el ojo (Puerto Rico, Colombia) ≠ guiñar el ojo (España, Chile); +(121) - Prender la luz (Chile) ≠ encender la luz (España) +(122) - Sacar la cuenta (Chile) ≠ hacer/echar la cuenta (España); +(123) - Sacarse la lotería (Chile) ≠ tocarle la lotería [a alguien] (España); +(124) - Sacarse los zapatos (Chile) ≠ quitarse los zapatos (España); +(125) - Tomarse prisa (Venezuela) ≠ darse prisa (España)  +(Koike, 2000) +A esta variación formal y semántica hay que sumar la imbricación entre coloca- +ciones y locuciones adverbiales (Pamies; Pazos; Guirao, 2013). Por ejemplo, la +locución argentina en pampa y la vía (“arruinado”) forma a su vez colocación +con los verbos estar, quedar, terminar y dejar (cf. Cuadrado Rey, 2010: 121). +En cuanto a los proverbios, es quizá la subclase fraseológica que cuenta con +mayor número de refraneros “localistas”, aunque éstos a menudo adolezcan +del problema metodológico ya señalado a la hora de atribuir cada unidad a +una determinada región. Hay variantes autóctonas del Nuevo Mundo que se +crearon por sustitución de componentes manteniendo un simbolismo similar, +como en al pie del helecho no busques el dátil (España), que dio lugar en México +a no busques tunas en los huizaches (Arora, 1998a). Un refrán peninsular puede +servir de modelo para la creación de muchos otros en América, además de te- +ner ya sus variantes dentro de España. Así el proverbio determinista +(126) - El que nace para burro del cielo le cae la albarda (España), +(127) - El que nace para buey del cielo le cae la yunta (España), +tiene al menos 43 variantes americanas, que siguen el modelo [el que nace/nació +para X del cielo le cae/llueve/baja Y]. Como en estas variantes citadas por Arora +(1998b): +(128) - El que nace para burro del cielo le caen las orejas (Cuba), +(129) - El que nace para buey del cielo le caen los cuernos (México, EEUU), +(130) - El que nació pa’ martillo del cielo le caen los clavos (Puerto Rico, Colombia), +(131) - El que nace para ahorcado del cielo le cae la soga (México), +(132) - El que nace para tamal del cielo le caen las hojas (México, EEUU), + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +69 +(133) - El que nace pa’ aguacate del cielo le cae la raja (Puerto Rico), +(134) - El que nace para mofongo del cielo le caen los plátanos (Puerto Rico), +(135) - El que nace para acomodador del cielo le cae la linterna (Cuba), +(136) - El que nace para bombón del cielo le cae el palito (Colombia), +(137) - El que nació pa’ cagao del cielo le llueve la mierda (Colombia), +(138) - El que nació para chancho del cielo le cae la horqueta (Nicaragua). +(Arora, 1998b: 31-33). +3 +La diatopía como recurso retórico +Otros factores pragmáticos podrían explicar el uso de los conectores paremio- +lógicos. En primer lugar, cumplen una función fática, como apunta Čermák +(2005: 75)15, a la que puede añadirse una función eufemística, ya que con ello +el emisor puede justificar el uso de una expresión considerada como demasia- +do coloquial, o incluso vulgar, amparándose trás un marcador de polifonía (cf. +Anscombre, 1994, 2011; Olza, 2013). +Sin embargo, no todos los frasemas en cuestión son objeto de un tabú, ni +mucho menos, y su eventual estigmatización provendría, si acaso, de los +prejuicios académicos tradicionales contra cualquier tipo de “frase hecha” +(cf. Monteiro, 2014: 161). Dichos “introductores” permitirían cierta captatio +benvolentiæ, pues con ellos el emisor se disculparía por emplear “tópicos” o +“lugares comunes”. +Ello también explicaría que una observación de naturaleza diatópica sea reem- +plazable por otro criterio normalmente no intercambiable16, como el diafásico +(esp. como diría mi abuela; a decir de nuestros mayores; como dicen ahora; como se +suele decir ahora), el diastrático (como dice la gente; como vulgarmente se dice) o +incluso el estilístico (dicho coloquialmente). Inversamente, se podrían reempla- +zar estos introductores “diafásicos” y “diastráticos” por los “diatópicos” sin +causar ningún malentendido. Semejante “sinonimia” es de por sí suficiente- +mente anómala como para pensar que estos presentadores son a su vez objeto +de una fijación idiomática, motivada por una pragmaticalización, un cambio +de estatus discursivo que convierte una oración comparativa, de contenido +15 «Using such introducers [...] obviously establishes a desirable atmosphere or maintains social con- +tact, which is what the phatic function is about» (Čermák, 2005: 75). +16 Cf. López Morales, 2009 y Casas & Escoriza, 2009. + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV +70 +metalingüístico, en un pragmatema de cortesía, equivalente a si me permiten la +expresión. +La metáfora en que el pueblo o la abuela son intercambiables sólo en su sentido +figurado, y cuyo significado global ya no se deduce de la suma de las partes +(idiomaticidad), y también posee fijación formal. P. ej., como dicen en mi ­pueblo... +no permite la inserción del pronombre (*como lo dicen en mi pueblo...) salvo +cuando la secuencia es literal. Este cambio de función implica una metáfora +gramatical por la cual un acto de habla, producto de una combinación se con- +vierte en unidad léxica, producto de una selección, coincide con la definición +de un tipo de frasema, las fórmulas (o pragmatemas) (Pamies, 2014). +Otra peculiaridad de estas secuencias es que no funcionan solas, sino como +(aparentes) subordinadas adverbiales comparativas, que no complementan al +verbo, sino que forman un comentario metadiscursivo de la expresión entera: +como dicen en el pueblo, mataron a la gallina de los huevos de oro17. +Esta subordinación no es adverbial sino pragmática, pues lo que se modaliza es +la autoría del enunciado, difuminando la identidad de su emisor por medio de +una supuesta intertextualidad. +como dicen en el pueblo, mataron a la gallina de los huevos de oro + + pragmatema + + locución +Puede haber excepciones cuando los introductores empleados están en su sen- +tido literal, en este caso ya no serían frasemas sino frases libres que introdu- +cen un fraseologismo que, en opinión del hablante se apartaría realmente de la +norma estándar. P. ej.: +(139) - Como dicen en el pueblo (...), la justicia es una perra flaca que muerde al más +infeliz [P. Rico]18; +(140) - Como dicen en el pueblo: en el arca del avariento, el diablo yace dentro +[Mex.]19; +17 Ejemplo: Web del municipio de Chicoloapán de Juárez, 2016 (http://www.chicoloapan.gob.mx/ +mis-recuerdos-escolares/). +18 http://www.noticel.com/noticia/184166/apelativo-federal-revoca-conviccion-de-casellas- +en-caso-de-carjacking.html. +19 http://www.donbaloncesto.com/el-baloncesto-mundial-no-se-salva-de-la-corrupcion/ + +VERBA HISPANICA XXV • ANTONIO PAMIES BERTRÁN +71 +(141) - ...un racimo de uvas blancas y otras negras (...) para que los vecinos al finalizar +pinten el vago como dicen en el pueblo [Salamanca]20. +(142) - Que afloje el tuste, como dicen en el pueblo [Hond.]21. +En estos casos, la expresión así presentada incluso podría pertenecer a otra +lengua, inserción de un elemento “importado” que, obviamente, justificaría +un comentario metalingüístico. +(143) - Como dicen en mi tierra, gent amb molt de seny 22. +Pero, aun así, estos casos también pueden ser dudosos. En los debates del +Parlamento Europeo, ocurre en ocasiones que un diputado cite una paremia +atribuyéndola de forma deliberadamente errónea a su tierra natal, como por +ejemplo este eurodiputado búlgaro que afirma: +(144) In my country, Bulgaria, we often say that there is no smoke without fire23. +Esta paremia es prácticamente universal: no sólo existe en todas las lenguas de +Europa, (bulg. няма дим без огън; lat. flamma fumus est proxima), sino tam- +bién en persa, árabe, chino y japonés (Pazcolay, 1997: 33-37). El traductor +al español dijo en Bulgaria, mi país, utilizamos el dicho “cuando el río suena, agua +lleva”24, una paremia más castiza y sin duda equivalente al proverbio inglés, +pero que agrava la paradoja de atribuírsela a Bulgaria. Es de suponer que el +recurso fue deliberado, un caso extremo que confirma el carácter retórico de +estos conectores paremiológicos, y que el receptor los interpreta como metáforas. +Inversamente, los receptores interpretarían literalmente los “presentadores” +de un frasema que les resulte extraño y que, por eso mismo, tendría más pro- +babilidades de proceder realmente del terruño natal del emisor. +20 http://www.elnortedecastilla.es/salamanca/201608/04/bodega-cooperativa-ayuntamien- +to-unen-20160804102242.html. +21 http://www.latribuna.hn/2015/09/28/aja-dona-camandula-y-es-verdad-que-se-caso-su- +hija/ +22 Ejemplo: Emili Tortosa Fulgor y muerte de las cajas de ahorros (Universidad de Valencia, 2015).
