    Mimesis: Foot Washing from Luke to John

    Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses 92/4 (2016) 655-670. doi: 10.2143/ETL.92.4.3183465 © 2016 by Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses. All rights reserved. Mimesis: Foot Washing from Luke to John Keith L. YODER University of Massachusetts at Amherst Introduction In this paper I argue that the Foot Washing of John 13,1-17, as literary composition, is a mimesis of the Sinful Woman narrative of Luke 7,36-501. Maurits Sabbe first proposed this mimetic association in 19822, followed by Thomas Brodie in 19933 and Ingrid Rosa Kitzberger in 19944, but the pro- posal dropped from view without ever being fully explored. Now a fresh comparison of the two texts uncovers a large array of previously unsurveyed parallels. Evaluation of old and new evidence will demonstrate that this is an instance of creative imitation, that combination of literary μίμησις (imi- tatio) and ζήλωσις (aemulatio) widely practiced by writers in antiquity5. Key directional indicators will point to Luke as the original and John as the emulation. I will here examine fifteen features in Luke that are paralleled in John. Throughout, I reference the internal tests for intertextual mimesis developed by Dennis R. MacDonald: the density, order, distinctiveness, and interpret- ability of the parallels6. Since external evidence pertinent to the relative dating of the Gospels of Luke and John is scarce and subject to debate, I will not address his tests of accessibility and analogy, but will focus instead on pointers of directionality arising from the internal evidence. 1. This paper was first presented at the March 2016 Annual Meeting of the Eastern Great Lakes Region of the Society of Biblical Literature, in Perrysville, Ohio, USA.
  • Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1

    Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1

    DAVID ROSEN THOUGHTS ON DIEGETIC MUSIC IN THE EARLY OPERAS OF ZANDONAI1 Diegetic music – «music that (apparently) issues from a source within the narrative» (Gorbman, 23)2 – plays an important role in Zandonai’s early operas: not only does it appear frequently, but it often pushes the action forward, eliciting responses from the characters who hear it. And some of its uses are unusual, if not unprecedented. In this essay I focus on Il grillo del focolare but make cross-references to diegetic music in L’uccellino d’oro, Conchita, and Melenis as well. Readers unfamiliar with these operas may want to consult plot summaries, for example, in Dryden (469-79). Table 1 lists the passages referred to in this essay. 1 I want to express my thanks to the Centro internazionale di studi «Riccardo Zan- donai», especially to Diego Cescotti, Irene Comisso, and Federica Fortunato for assistance of all sorts before, during, and after the conference. Thanks go also to Gary Moulsdale for his comments on an earlier version of this text, to Ann Beck- man and other friends on WM-L (my favorite online opera discussion group) for answering some questions about precedents for certain uses of diegetic music, and to Carol Rosen for having translated into Italian the version of this essay that I delivered at the conference. 2 Citations refer to the Selective Bibliography at the end of this essay. The category ‘diegetic music’ thus includes both ‘musica in scena’ and ‘musica di scena’ (for the distinction see, for example, Girardi, 101-102). That is, it may include music emanating from offstage (whether in the wings or from the orchestra pit) or on- stage in full view of the audience.

I have been privileged to conduct my work for four years in the Finnish Graduate School of Literary Studies under the direc- torship of Professor Bo Pettersson. He and the Graduate School’s Post-Doctoral Researcher Harri Veivo not only offered insightful and careful comments on my papers, but equally importantly cre- ated a friendly and encouraging atmosphere in the Graduate School seminars.

    Instrumental Rationality: a Reprise by Joseph Raz1 HE OPPORTUNITY

    JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY | SYMPOSIUM INSTRUMENTAL RATIONALITY: A REPRISE Joseph Raz Instrumental Rationality: A Reprise By Joseph Raz1 HE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLY to four challenging comments enables me not only to remove some misunderstandings, but also to Tdevelop some ideas regarding which “The Myth of Instrumental Ra- tionality” (“The Myth,” as I shall refer to it) was silent or even misleading. First let me set out the main theses of The Myth. Assuming, as I do, that facts about the value of kinds of action constitute reasons for or against them, and that “rationality” or “irrationality” (or de- grees of either) refer either to the capacity to appreciate and respond appro- priately to reasons, or (in other contexts) to the way it is exercised, I argued that:2 1) There are instrumental or as, for reasons given, I call them “facilita- tive” reasons: When we have an undefeated reason to take an action we have reason to perform any one (but only one) of the possible (for us) alternative plans which facilitate it.3 2) The rationality or lack of it displayed in our reactions to our own ends – in particular adopting what we believe are means to their realization, or our failure to adopt such means – consists in the exercise or failure to exercise properly the same capacity, and in conforming with or violating the same principles of rationality, which we exercise or fail to exercise, conform to or fail to conform to in other contexts. The supposition that there is a special type of rationality, or of rational principles, to which “instrumental rational- ity” refers is the myth of the title of my article.
