Paratext and Megatext as Channels of Jewish and Christian Traditions: The Textual Markers of Contextualization
ISBN: 9789004128828 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religious traditions are channeled to new audiences by textual markers, which inform their understanding and influence. Such markers are signs of contextualisation which belong to the paratext of a tradition: textual elements that do not belong to the core text itself but belong to their embedding and as such affect their reception. Alternatively, some texts function purposely in tandem with another text, and cannot be understood without that text. While the second text informs the way the first one is being understood, it can hardly function independently. The discussions...
