The Law

Chapter 7 deals with one of the most traditional aspects of rhetoric, namely literature. It describes a basic law of literary rhetoric which accounts for the increasing problematicity of literary language in novels, poetry, and drama. This chapter also explains the evolution of literary criticism. The fact that literature is less and less linear in its narratives, and is increasingly enigmatic (Joyce or Kafka) is accounted for by the law of auto-contextualization of the problematic in the fictional answers. This law encourages the reader to provide the meaning of the text, even when it is considered as impossible or equivocal and pluralistic. The four main schools of literary interpretation correspond to our four basic operators of rhetoric: Mimetic for =, Hermeneutics for ±, Reception Theory for + (the reader is the “plus” of the interpretation of the text), and Deconstruction for –.

AbstractFormation constitutes the key link between reception theory, Jauss and scripture. The Bible shapes readers by showing them what lies beyond the self. Hans Robert Jauss (1921–97) remains the effective founder of reception theory or reception history. He was a literary theorist, who specialised in romance literature. Following Hans-Georg Gadamer, he insisted that texts carry ‘a still unfinished meaning’, and focused on their historical influence. The exposition of how communities or thinkers have received texts includes de-familiarisation; sometimes the ‘completion’ of meaning, as in much reader-response theory; and instances of when a text ‘satisfies, surpasses, disappoints, or refutes the expectations’ of readers. Reception theory can often trace continuity in the reception of texts, as well as disjunctions, reversals and surprises. It offers a more disciplined approach to scripture than most reader-response theories. Clearly horizons of expectation play a major role in the interpretation of biblical texts. I suggest six direct parallels with biblical interpretation. (1) Like Francis Watson and others, Jauss rejects any value-neutral objectivism in interpretation. (2) The readers’ horizon of expectation derives partly from earlier readings of the text. (3) Horizons can move and change, and thus transform readers as these change. (4) Biblical genres display all of Jauss’ accounts of the responses of readers. For example, parables of reversal may surpass what the Christian believer expects, or disappoint the unbeliever. (5) Like Gadamer, Jauss emphasises the importance of formulating constructive questions in approaching texts. (6) Jauss’ ‘levels of reading’ correspond closely with Bakhtin's notion of polyphony. I compare Ormond Rush's work on reception and otherness, and Luther's insistence that the Bible often confronts us as our adversary to judge and to transform us. Finally, we illustrate the history of reception from Ulrich Luz on Matthew, from Childs on Exodus, and from my commentaries on 1 Corinthians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians.

Abstract The translation policy model by González Núñez (2013, 475) comprises three elements, namely “translation management”, “translation practices”, and “translation beliefs”. While the first two elements of this model are straightforward and easy to study in top-down approaches, translation beliefs can relate both to policymakers and policy receivers. However, the distinction has not been clearly made in this model and the element of translation beliefs has been chiefly treated in the literature as though it comes from the top levels of policymaking, hence overlooking the bottom-up aspects of it (see González Núñez 2014, 2016; Li et al. 2017). In order to improve this model, the present paper draws on the audience reception theory (Hall 1973), and shows that the current translation policy model requires a fourth element that I would call ‘translation reception’. The paper draws on the findings of a reception-oriented case study on translation policies in provincial broadcasting in Iran. This study argues that a more inclusive model of translation policy should not only include the authority-level elements of translation management, translation practices, and translation beliefs, but also the element of translation reception on the part of policy receivers. This way, I hope, the end users’ involvement in and contribution to the translation policy network will not be overlooked in subsequent research.

AbstractWhile the discipline of International Relations (IR) has a long tradition of celebrating ‘great thinkers’ and appropriating their ideas for contemporary theories, it has rarely accounted for how these authors came to be seen as ‘great’ in the first place. This is at least partly a corollary of the discipline’s long-standing aversion to methodological reflection in its engagement with intellectual history, and it echoes IR’s infamous tendency to misportray these great thinkers’ ideas more broadly. Drawing on existing attempts to import the methodological insights of historians of political thought into IR, this article puts forward a unified approach to the study of great thinkers in IR that combines the tenets of so-called ‘Cambridge School’ contextualism with those of what broadly falls under the label of reception theory. I make the case for the possibility of developing a coherent methodology through the combination of what is often seen as separate strands of intellectual history, and for the value of such an approach in IR. In doing so, the article ultimately offers a more rigorous methodology for engaging with the thought of great thinkers in IR, for analyzing the way a specific author’s ideas come to have an impact in practice, and for assessing the extent to which these ideas are distorted in the process.

Reception Theory

Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί αφενός να διερευνήσει την αποτελεσματικότητα μιας παιδαγωγικής παρέμβασης στο πλαίσιο της επίσημης εκπαίδευσης, αφετέρου να προσαρμόσει τα ήδη υπάρχοντα σχετικά εργαλεία και να σχεδιάσει νέα, σύμφωνα με τις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες του μαθητικού κοινού στο οποίο απευθύνονται. Η παρέμβαση αυτή άρχισε το Μάρτιο και ολοκληρώθηκε τον Ιούνιο του 2004. Αφορούσε 43 μαθητές της Δ' τάξης δύο 6θέσιων σχολείων, της Περιφέρειας Πειραιά. Η μία τάξη λειτούργησε ως Πειραματική ομάδα (n1=22) και η άλλη ως Ομάδα Ελέγχου (n2=21). Η ερευνητική διαδικασία ακολούθησε τις αρχές της έρευνας δράσης [action research] και στηρίχθηκε στη θεωρία της πρόσληψης [reception theory]. Η παρέμβαση ακολούθησε την ομαδοσυνεργατική προσέγγιση, εστίασε στην τηλεόραση (ως μέσο) και στις διαφημίσεις (ως μεσοποιημένο προϊόν), ενώ κατά τη διάρκειά της τα παιδιά δημιούργησαν υλικό σύμφωνα με τις αρχές και τους στόχους της εκπαίδευσης στα μέσα. Για την αξιολόγηση της παρέμβασης χρησιμοποιήθηκε ο σχεδιασμός δύο ομάδων «πριν και μετά», ενώ αξιοποιήθηκαν ποσοτικά και ποιοτικά εργαλεία όπως: (α) ερωτηματολόγιο διερεύνησης της σχέσης των παιδιών με τα ΜΜΕ και της έκθεσής τους σε αυτά στο οικογενειακό τους περιβάλλον πριν την έναρξη της παρέμβασης (β) ομαδικές προβολές οι οποίες λειτούργησαν ως ερέθισμα για σχολιασμό των διαφημιστικών μηνυμάτων (γ) ομαδικές δομημένες συνεντεύξεις αμέσως μετά τις προβολές. Η δημιουργία Πειραματικής ομάδας και Ομάδας Ελέγχου μας επέτρεψε να συγκρίνουμε τα αποτελέσματα εντός και μεταξύ των ομάδων παρατηρώντας συνοπτικά τις εξής μετατροπές: Στην Πειραματική Ομάδα, οι μαθητές: (α) Έκαναν ολοκληρωμένες περιγραφές με μεγαλύτερη συνοχή, ενώ χρησιμοποίησαν λέξεις ειδικού λεξιλογίου. Η κριτική γνώση προς τα ΜΜΕ εκφράζεται και στη βελτίωση του ειδικού λεξιλογίου των παιδιών, το οποίο αντανακλά και την πιο επεξεργασμένη σκέψη τους ως αποτέλεσμα της παρέμβασης. (β) Εντόπισαν με περισσότερη σιγουριά και σαφήνεια το κοινό-στόχο, στο οποίο απευθύνεται το διαφημιστικό μήνυμα και δικαιολόγησαν τις επιλογές τους. (γ) Αναγνώρισαν ευκολότερα τις τεχνικές που χρησιμοποιούνται από την πλευρά των διαφημιστών για να προσελκύσουν το κοινό-στόχο, διατύπωσαν με περισσότερη σαφήνεια και υποστήριξαν τις επιλογές τους, ενώ επίσης χρησιμοποίησαν με μεγαλύτερη άνεση αυτές τις τεχνικές στη δημιουργία της δικής τους διαφήμισης. (ε) Συνέδεσαν τη σκηνοθετημένη πραγματικότητα των διαφημίσεων με άλλες ομοειδείς διαφημίσεις ενώ δεν ανέφεραν ομοιότητες με την πραγματική ζωή. (στ) Μείωσαν τις αναφορές στερεοτυπικού χαρακτήρα. (ζ) Συσχέτισαν με περισσότερη ευκολία την τιμή με την ποιότητα και το διαφημιστικό κόστος ενός προϊόντος πριν την τελική τους επιλογή. (η) Χρησιμοποίησαν τις ικανότητες που ανάπτυξαν ως προς ένα μεσοποιημένο προϊόν και γενίκευσαν αυθορμήτως και στην κατανόηση της κατασκευής άλλων μεσοποιημένων προϊόντων. Επίσης, στο σύνολο των παιδιών τα διαφημιστικά μηνύματα εντυπώνονται, μολονότι τα ίδια δήλωναν ότι δεν τα παρακολουθούν.

The paper focuses on complex research and description of creative reception theory and typology. There are provided definitions of such terms as reception, creative reception, creative reception strategies, and others. The author builds the typology of creative reception on the basis of works by E. V. Abramovskikh, S. Ye. Trunin, M. V. Zagidullina, V. I. Tyupa, and M. Naumann. This typology includes two types (or levels) of creative reception, defined as classic and postmodernist. Each of the types is characterized by a number of strategies, i. e. ways of representing an artistically received text in one’s own work. The classic type strategies (formal, authentic, neutral and antithetical) focus primarily on plot transformation. As for the postmodernist level, the author singles out two strategies: congenial and play. The theory and typology of creative reception is substantiated with some examples of reminiscences and allusions to English and world poetry. The examples under analysis are taken from the following prose works by the outstanding English postmodernist writer John Robert Fowles (1926–2005): the novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), the collection of long short stories The Ebony Tower (1974), the philosophic book The Aristos (1964), and also the lyric collection Selected Poems, published posthumously in 2012. The collection has not been translated into Russian yet. Therefore, the poem under analysis (Islanders) has been translated into Russian by the author of the present paper. The paper also deals with indirect Biblical reception which is found in the allusion to the ivory tower. The allusion gave the title The Ebony Tower both to Fowles’ long short story and collection as a whole. The author of the paper draws a conclusion about the dominant creative reception strategies in the literary works under analysis and also about the possible use of the presented creative reception typology in analyzing works by other writers.

Bomb explosions carried out by the ISIS network in Indonesia attracted the attention of the mass media, both local, national and international, including detik.com and republika.co.id. In covering the events, each media had a different perspective so that gave birth to the tendency in the news. Framing reporting aims to make the audience also have a similar tendency to the media read. The purpose of this study is: To find out the tendency of reporting on ISIS by detik.com and its implications for the reader's perception of the Islamic state. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of descriptive research that aims to explain the implications of detik.com framing related to ISIS terrorism news in Indonesia, especially regarding audience perceptions about the Islamic Caliph. Media framing was carried out through the analysis of Zondang Pan and Kosicki. For framing effects the reception theory is used. The speakers were activists of Islamic Student Organizations, IMM, KAMMI, HMI, HIMMAH and PMII. The results showed that detik.com's readers' perception of the Islamic State was a positive concept, but it did not have to be realized in a formal or forced form, especially in Indonesia. Detik.com readers also view the concept of Islamic sharia as something positive, but not made in formal form through statutory regulations. In detik.com news, it is more likely to be neutral by submitting field facts and opinion facts in the news without relating to matters related to Islam.
