摘要

对文本的解读既可以为权力关系和从属关系辩护，也可以成为赋权的工具。虽然有人解释说，演讲者承认了歌曲1:5中的独特品质，但也有人认为这是对身份的肯定。本文介绍了加纳两所高中女生的观点。通过阅读《歌1.5~17》的上下文来呈现自我赋权、自信和创造力的策略。根据《2063年非洲议程》，它提出了澄清自我信念的方法，并赋予年轻人讲述自己身体故事的能力。当非洲人阅读《圣经》时，他们也在寻找重新定义、反思和重新生活在非洲社区的方法，以便更好地表达自己的身份。

‘I am black and beautiful’: Body-talk toward redefining the identity of black girls using Contextual Bible studies on Song of Songs 1.5–17

Interpretation of a text can either justify power relations and subordination or become a tool for empowerment. While some explain that the speaker is admitting a unique quality in Song 1:5, others think it is an affirmation of identity. This paper presents the views of young Ghanaian girls in two Senior High Schools. A contextual reading of the Song of Songs 1.5–17 is used to present strategies for self-empowerment, confidence, and creativity. Drawing from Africa Agenda 2063, it proposes ways to clarify beliefs about oneself and empower young people to tell their stories about their bodies. When Africans read the Bible, they also look for ways for redefining, rethinking, and re-living in an African community so that they can express their identity better.

期刊介绍： Biblical Theology Bulletin is a distinctive, peer-reviewed, quarterly journal containing articles and reviews written by experts in biblical and theological studies. The editors select articles that provide insights derived from critical biblical scholarship, culture-awareness, and thoughtful reflection on meanings of import for scholars of Bible and religion, religious educators, clergy, and those engaged with social studies in religion, inter-religious studies, and the praxis of biblical religion today. The journal began publication in 1971. It has been distinguished for its early and continuing publication of articles using the social sciences in addition to other critical methods for interpreting the Bible for contemporary readers, teachers, and preachers across cultural and denominational lines.
