Anti-Jewish Sentiments in Liturgical and Patristic Biblical Interpretations
Authors: Bucur Bogdan G. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe gradual transformation of the Jesus movement from an ethnically Jewish to an overwhelmingly Gentile community was coextensive with a shift from intracommunitarian polemics within the boundaries of Second Temple Judaism to acrimonious relations between two religions competing for the inheritance of biblical Israel. Although anti-Jewish rhetoric colors early Christian references to contemporary Jews and Judaism, it also constitutes a topos of intra-Christian heresiology; these two spheres of use sometimes overlap. Among the various exegetical strategies used by the early Church, “Christophanic exegesis” is the most ancient, adaptable, and widespread; it also entailed sometime strident anti-Jewish polemics. Special attention should be given to hymnography, as the performative character and liturgical embeddedness of this veritable distillate of patristic thought have ensured its enormous influence across time and space. The centrality of Christophanic exegesis in Byzantine festal hymns and the absence, in most of these hymns, of anti-Jewish polemics, indicates that, although present and strident, anti-Judaism sentiments are not an essential feature of patristic and hymnographic exegesis.
The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawāhǝdo Church (EOTC)
Authors: Assefa Daniel 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tawāhǝdo Church (EOTC) has the broadest biblical canon of the Christian world. However, one needs to admit that there is a constant. The majority of the books that were part of the canon in early period of Christianity in Ethiopia, in medieval Ethiopia, and in the contemporary period are also common to other churches. Further, some of the books that belong solely to the Ethiopian canon were excluded by other churches only after the fourth century. Before that period, these books were appreciated by some church fathers and some texts of authority. The same criteria valid for determining the canon elsewhere, namely apostolicity, orthodoxy, antiquity, and use are also applicable to the Ethiopian biblical canon. The criteria may of course vary depending on the book’s nature. Adaptability in welcoming and preserving the peculiar books as well as in interpreting them in the light of Christological doctrine and liturgy explains the history of the EOTC’s biblical canon.
Reading from the End, Looking Forward
Authors: Behr John 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
A consideration of the way in which the Scriptures are used in Orthodox Liturgy, the history of how the proclamation of the gospel, “in accordance with the Scriptures (OT),” led to the writings of the Apostle and then the composition of the gospels, and the hermeneutics implied in this, leads to the conclusion that something like a perspectival or paradigm shift is required in our mental framework when reading Scripture, from that implied and imposed by the notion of the “Bible” divided into the Old Testament and the New covering separate temporal periods, both in the past, leading also to a more dynamic and immediate understanding of God’s activity of creation and the coming of the Christ.
Translation of the Bible into Armenian
Authors: Hambardzumyan Garegin 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The Armenian translation of the Bible is among the oldest translations. At the dawn of the fifth century AD Armenia was in the midst of geopolitical changes and cultural transformation. The formation of the Armenian alphabet made it possible to undertake a vast body of translation work from Greek, Syriac, and other languages and to create a unique literary culture. In translating the Bible into Armenian, the prominent clergy of the era created an environment in which both fluency in the native language and spiritual literacy were obtained first and foremost through the reading of the Bible. As a lasting consequence, the role of the Bible in the lives of the Armenian people goes beyond a simply religious application, it is perceived both symbolically and historically as the foundation of the Armenian Christian culture per se. The current contribution briefly touches on the historical formation of the Armenian translation of the Bible, the development of its canon, and its textually unique features.
The Bible and the Armenian Church
Authors: Hovhanessian Vahan 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The chapter presents a review of the use of the Bible among the Armenians through the centuries. The introduction of the chapter offers a brief review of key events associated with the Armenian Bible, such as the conversion of Armenia to Christianity, the invention of the Armenian alphabet, and the translation of the Bible into Armenian, highlighting the impact of the translation of the Bible on the Armenian people. The chapter then examines the interpretation of the Bible in the Armenian Church, hermeneutics, exegetical centers, and key commentators. The third part of the chapter offers an anthology of Armenian patristic writings to demonstrate how Armenians read and prayed the Bible, which was the source of their spirituality and prayer-life. The chapter ends with a brief exploration of the use of the Bible in the Armenian worship and liturgy.
The Modern Search for the Literal Sense
Authors: Seitz Christopher R. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Antiochene biblical interpretation (AI) has been viewed as a precursor of historical-critical reading. It has also been regarded as a keen foe of allegorical reading, such as emerged from the rival school of Alexandria. As such, it holds the potential for helping to focus on biblical hermeneutics in the present period (which has its own aversion to allegory). There is in the concerns of AI attention to proper historical appraisal. But because AI is a species of Christian interpretation in which the Old Testament is heard and applied in a second witness, that dimension remains critical to account for. Though their treatment at this level has been held to be anemic or even sub-Christian, this chapter hopes to show that, just in its provisionality, AI shows the challenge of coordinating the literal sense and extended sense-making, in the light of a two-testament biblical witness.
“Splendid Brilliancy”
Authors: Humphrey Edith M. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Orthodox views of the inspiration of Scripture have been variously expressed, and do not show a development or formalization over time, but a common approach that views the Bible as neither mechanically received nor merely anthropocentric. As with the incarnation, the Scriptures are understood to be “theanthropic,” so that divine inspiration and human illumination cohere together. A survey of both church fathers and contemporary Orthodox theologians discloses much variety, as interpreters adapt to varying situations, but also several common themes: the source and power of Scripture to show forth the Incarnate Word; the mutually interpretive relationship of Old and New Testaments; Scripture as the central core of Holy Tradition; and the practical and divinizing impact of the inspired Word. These insights place Orthodox theologians in a promising vantage-point for engaging with various scholarly approaches to interpretation and with the public perceptions and suspicion of its continued power.
The Coptic Bible
Authors: Takla Hany N. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The Coptic Bible is the version that was read primarily by the native population of Egyptian Christians, especially the monks. It formed the basis for the entire corpus of literary and liturgical heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The aim of this chapter is to present the origin of this version as primarily a translation from more ancient Greek manuscripts than have survived to date. It will also survey the early development history of the translation, the dialects it is preserved in, the scholarly research and publication over more than four centuries, the current state of preservation, and its value and limitations for biblical criticism.
Eastern Orthodox Views on Ancient Jewish Biblical Interpretation
Authors: Beck Bruce N. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines the history of Jewish biblical traditions received by Christians in antiquity. Selected encounters between Christian and Jewish leaders are assessed, including Justin Martyr, Origen, Jerome, and John Chrysostom. The difficult history of Christian–Jewish relations is given due attention. The impact of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery, and the theological reconstructions of Judaism by Christian scholars in the aftermath of the Holocaust, transformed many institutions of higher learning during the second half of the twentieth century. The ascendancy of Jewish Studies had a profound effect on several Orthodox scholars during their doctoral studies, who through their teaching and publications have demonstrated the benefits of consulting comparative Jewish sources in their publications. Three scholars are presented as cases of integrating comparable Jewish sources in biblical studies, patristic hermeneutics, and mysticism and transformation. Thus, the advantages of doing comparative scholarship are illuminated in sharp relief.
The New Testament in the Orthodox Church
Authors: Nikolakopoulos Konstantin 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The hermeneutical tradition of the Eastern church does not only allow for scientific research, but rather demands it. With this, however, the orthodox way of exegesis is not exhausted. In order to attain a comprehensive understanding of the New Testament, exegetes should approach the holy writings from various angles. In addition to their pedagogical function, all rhetorical texts of the holy authors contribute to the theological immersion in the redemptory sense of the writings. The use of rhetorical figures of thought hints at this fact, especially since, thanks to these rhetorical elements, pedagogical and consequentially anthropological-soteriological perspectives have to be attributed to the “spirit” of the writings. The exegete who participates in the liturgical life of the church and breathes the grace of the Holy Spirit, uses the methods as tools, and is aware that he does not conduct a personal, subjective exegesis, but instead continues the hermeneutic tradition of the whole church.
Byzantine Lectionary Manuscripts and Their Significance for Biblical Textual Criticism
Authors: Paulson Gregory S. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
While lectionaries make up approximately one-third of all surviving biblical Greek manuscripts, they have been largely neglected within the field of textual criticism. This chapter examines why lectionaries, as representatives of the Byzantine text, have been generally ignored by text critics for generations and regarded as inconsequential for textual criticism. While editors of critical editions do not usually state explicitly why they excluded lectionaries, it was likely due to their late date, their perceived uniformity, and their noncontinuous text form. In recent years, lectionaries have received new scholarly attention, combined with a paradigm shift in the field of biblical textual criticism. These developments have brought about a new understanding within textual criticism that noncontinuous text forms should be counted among a broad range of diverse witnesses and can help to determine manuscript relationships and offer evidence for the creation of variants. In this new era of lectionary research, scholars have recognized that the value of lectionaries also goes beyond the long-held desideratum of establishing the earliest attainable text; lectionaries offer a unique window into how the Byzantine church used scripture amid the rhythms and rituals of public worship.
Gay Guerilla
Authors: Kandler Zachary 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores the music of Julius Eastman, a Black and openly gay 20th century avant-garde classical music composer. He serves as a subject for composer studies in music therapy, which draws implications from the works of nonclinical musicians on the clinical field of music therapy. Eastman pushed stylistic boundaries and cultivated a queer aesthetic in the white and straight dominated world of avant-garde classical music, all the while resourcing music as a platform for social and political activism. These qualities in his music offer insight into the role of clinical music in queer and trans music therapy, in which music should help express the fluid and complex identities of clients, invite opportunities to reclaim power, and offer engagement in social justice activity. A queer and trans music therapy approach can learn from Eastman’s performative and compositional stance and inform how therapists may support clients to transcend binaries and social conventions.
The New Frontiers in the Narrative of María Luisa Bombal
Authors: Candia-Cáceres Alexis 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the novels La última niebla (The Final Mist, 1935), La amortajada (The Shrouded Woman, 1938), and House of Mist (1947) by Chilean author María Luisa Bombal. It studies the writer’s biographical journey as well as her break with the literary movements of the time, particularly naturalism, the critical reception of her work, the representation of women and eroticism, and the questioning of official religion, especially, Catholicism. Utilizing a series of resources from literary theory, literary criticism, philosophy, gender studies, and historical analysis, it proposes that Bombal’s writing has opened up new frontiers in contemporary Latin American narrative.
Latin American Narrative in the Late Twentieth and Early Twenty-First Centuries
Authors: Gallego Cuiñas Ana 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The Latin American narrative of the twenty-first century has its roots in the 1990s, when globalization, new technologies, and the processes of expansion and consolidation of the Spanish publishing conglomerates impacted on the book market. After 2001, there was a proliferation of many aesthetics and new turns (subjective, documentary, post-memory, neorealism, neofantasy, feminist, queer, nomadic, digital, neoruralism) that appealed to both national and global identities. Of all of them, those that have become the most relevant are feminist and queer literature, since writing by women, feminized bodies, and dissident subjectivities has taken an unprecedented center stage in the Latin American literary field during the last decade. Lastly, the most significant changes that have taken place in the modes of production, circulation, and reception of Latin American narrative concern material culture, including the growth of independent publishing, fairs, and festivals. The chapter also examines the remarkable “spectacularization” of the writer, the increasing precarity of the literary profession, and the professionalization of mediators, and the “Randomization” of Latin American literature.
Hull House Maps and Papers, 1895
Authors: Font-Casaseca Núria 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In 1895, Jane Addams and other residents of Hull House published Hull-House Maps and Papers, the result of a social survey led by Florence Kelley about the working conditions and social characteristics of families living in the Chicago’s 19th Ward. The book included some essays prepared by a group of residents and neighbors and two sets of detailed maps that showed the total weekly earnings for each household and the nationality of each inhabitant. A detailed analysis of the maps and essays and the context in which they were produced is relevant today, not only as a pioneer example of mixed-methods research, but also due to their innovative cartographic proposal and their effort to produce high-quality data and visual materials to be used as a tool to promote social and legislative changes. The sympathetic, relational, and experimental approach to social research developed by Addams transformed the settlement into a place where the social and ethical aspects of knowledge production were combined with a scientific attitude directed to achieve structural reforms and constitutes an inspiration for contemporary urban researchers committed to a feminist, participatory, and critical approach to diversity and inequality.
Making the Jane Addams Papers Accessible to New Audiences
Authors: Moran Hajo Cathy 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Scholars have been the only ones able to easily access primary sources on Jane Addams and her work for social justice, social work, woman suffrage, immigrants, and peace. Over the past 45 years, the Jane Addams Papers Project has been working to expand the audience for these critical papers. Whether through microfilm, print, or digital publication, the goal has been the same—to bring Addams’s words, ideas, and world to a large and varied public. With digital publication the project can significantly expand public access. It is developing tools to encourage creative use of the materials—lesson plans for middle school students, guides for National History Day projects, and crowdsourcing tools to enable the public to participate in the project. By making the data that underlies the edition accessible to digital humanities scholars, the project plans to develop datasets that can be used to analyze and interpret the papers. From maps that plot Addams’s correspondence and associates, to social-network visualizations and text analyses of her speeches and correspondence, the digital edition will encourage new questions and analysis that would not have been possible a short time ago.
Diversity Machines
Authors: Simone AbdouMaliq 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The chapter posits urban popular economy as a multidimensional process that identifies and assembles diverse facets of the urban environment—laws, policies, buildings, spatial uses, material resources, social compositions, styles of governance, and so forth in order to create territories of operation for poor, working class, and lower-middle-class residents whose lives are increasingly unsettled in precarious forms of livelihood. As residents circulate through more provisional emplacements in work and home, forms of livelihood and care are more dispersed across disparate urban geographies. This necessitates new forms of collaboration and political struggle, increasingly based on diversifying points of contact across the urban system.
Citizenship and Statelessness through a Superdiversity Lens
Authors: Sardelić Julija 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This chapter investigates citizenship and statelessness through the lens of superdiversity. Earlier scholarly literature defined citizenship as a legal status, which is a predisposition for individuals to possess certain rights. By contrast, statelessness was understood as a legal status lacking these rights. Later works have argued that not all citizens have equal access to citizenship rights, and that not all populations are equally vulnerable to statelessness. Several policy papers have connected this specifically to ethnic discrimination, since certain ethnic minorities have a hindered access to citizenship rights or to citizenship status altogether and end up as stateless. While not diminishing the importance of ethnic discrimination, this chapter argues that other factors should be considered when contemplating the connection between citizenship and rights, and between statelessness and rightlessness, most notably, how these factors are intertwined in dynamic power relations. The chapter applies a superdiversity approach to examine the factors that accompany ethnic inequalities and contribute to the dissociation of citizenship from rights. It also shows that statelessness entails different degrees of access to rights rather than simply being a state of rightlessness.
Power and AI
Authors: Lazar Seth 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
AI and related computational systems are being used by some to exercise power over others. This is especially clear in our online lives, which are increasingly structured and governed by computational systems using some of the most advanced techniques in AI. But it is also apparent in our offline lives, as computational systems using AI are used by powerful actors, including states, local government, and employers. Proponents of various principles of “AI Ethics” sometimes imply that the sole normative function of those principles is to ensure that AI is used to achieve socially acceptable goals. Drawing attention to the ways in which AI systems are used to exercise power demonstrates the inadequacy of this normative analysis. When new and intensified power relations develop, we must attend not only to what power is used for, but also to how and by whom it is used.
Structured Access
Authors: Shevlane Toby 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Structured access is an emerging paradigm for the safe deployment of artificial intelligence (AI). Instead of openly disseminating AI systems, developers facilitate controlled, arm’s length interactions with their AI systems. The aim is to prevent dangerous AI capabilities from being widely accessible, whilst preserving access to AI capabilities that can be used safely. The developer must both restrict how the AI system can be used and prevent the user from circumventing these restrictions through modification or reverse engineering of the AI system. Structured access is most effective when implemented through cloud-based AI services, rather than disseminating AI software that runs locally on users’ hardware. Cloud-based interfaces provide the AI developer greater scope for controlling how the AI system is used, and for protecting against unauthorized modifications to the system’s design. This chapter expands the discussion of “publication norms” in the AI community, which to date has focused on the question of how the informational content of AI research projects should be disseminated (e.g., code and models). Although this is an important question, there are limits to what can be achieved through the control of information flows. Structured access views AI software not only as information that can be shared but also as a tool with which users can have arm’s length interactions. There are early examples of structured access being practiced by AI developers, but there is much room for further development, both in the functionality of cloud-based interfaces and in the wider institutional framework.
Imaginary Geography
Authors: Müller Adalberto 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Geographical references are not used by Emily Dickinson as mere baubles. They belong to the structure of her poems, participating in the process of meaning, as it happens, whether she mentions birds or historical events. Understanding the “expansion” of Dickinson’s poetry toward distant landscapes might help her readers reconsider both her well-known “seclusion”—as she is constantly inviting readers to experience foreign spaces and “foreignhood”—and the way her everyday life was affected by international trade and geopolitics. Furthermore, reading translations of her works can show how important it is to understand the transformation of literary works outside the borders of their original languages, as species that travel abroad and return with messages from “spicy islands” and “routes of Evanescence.” This essay reads translations of Dickinson’s poems and poems written in response to Dickinson by outstanding poets of Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, including Juan Ramón Jiménez, Manuel Bandeira, Gilberto Owen, Jorge de Sena, Augusto de Campos, Silvina Ocampo, Ana Cristina César, and Ana Luísa Amaral. These poets invite us to consider the existence of a Dickinson latina.
