Abstract

The discipline of cognitive narratology applies insights of cognitive linguistics to narrative analysis. This study seeks to demonstrate the value of cognitive narratology by exploring the role of the reader and the extent of the reader’s knowledge in constructing characters. While traditional narrative criticism often limits itself to the world of the text, cognitive narratology recognizes that the reader’s knowledge from other texts and the real world also contributes to the construction of characters. This study will show that the extent of the reader’s literary and social knowledge of a text affects the construction of characters. As a case study, we will examine the calling of Peter in the canonical Gospels and show how four readers with varying degrees of knowledge will arrive at different constructions of Peter’s character.

读者如何建构新约人物:从认知叙事学的角度看福音书中彼得的呼召

认知叙事学将认知语言学的见解应用于叙事分析。本研究试图通过探讨读者的角色和读者在角色建构中的知识程度来证明认知叙事学的价值。传统的叙事批评往往局限于文本世界，而认知叙事学认为读者从其他文本和现实世界获得的知识也有助于人物的建构。本研究将表明，读者对文本的文学和社会知识的程度会影响人物的建构。作为一个案例研究，我们将考察彼得在正典福音书中的呼召，并展示四位知识程度不同的读者如何对彼得的性格产生不同的理解。

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
