Transcribing Wisdom:Transformations of the Joseph Legend from the Ancient Near East up until Islamic Times

“转录智慧”研究项目的目的是建立和制定涵盖犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教传统的圣经诠释学方法。调查的主题是约瑟夫在其各种和异构的记录从希伯来圣经，直到伊斯兰时代的叙述。新的诠释学方法的经文，从文化研究的见解，应补充历时的角度对不同的比喻约瑟夫在各种来源，从旧约，该项目提出了四种解释学方法，通过这些方法，文化研究中发展起来的元素被引入到古兰经注释和跨学科领域。对话之间的注释旧约，新约和古兰经是为了丰富。1. 新的光是洒在物体上发挥了关键作用，在不同的约瑟夫的故事，如国王的杯子，衣服，和作物。这些对象不被视为动机或文学元素，而是作为知识的对象，对历史性和身份的特定理解与传播和解释的背景不同。 性别和权力方面的数字突出在大多数约瑟夫的故事是分析和比较在历时的角度，并把上下文。 “深层心理学”的圣经诠释学方法是圣经研究中一种已经确立的（如果也有争议的话）训诂工具，但它根本没有被引入古兰经研究。约瑟夫的故事是比较深层心理学方法的完美出发点，因为它反映了在古代晚期文学中脱颖而出的个人转变和个性化的过程。4. 第四种方法是突出先知身体的不同形象和与之相关的神与人沟通的概念。通过关注不同轨迹的历时发展，该项目起到了示范作用。它强调不同的文化和宗教传统和地区之间的相互纠缠，通过展示犹太教、早期基督教和伊斯兰教背景下的文本和训诂的连续性和参与性，建立了一个启发性的概念，将不同的诠释案例联系在一起。更好地理解和描述约瑟夫故事在古代和古代晚期的连续性和多样性，适应，重复，否定和变化的模式的关键概念是：智慧和转录。

The research project "Transcribing Wisdom" aims at establishing and elaborating methodologies for scriptural hermeneutics embracing Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions. Subject of inquiry is the narrative of Joseph in its various and heterogeneous records from the Hebrew Bible up until Islamic times. New hermeneutical approaches to scripture, taking insights from cultural studies, shall supplement the diachronic perspective on the different figurations of Joseph in the variety of sources from the Old Testament, late antique commentary cultures and literary texts until the Quran and Islamic lore.The project suggests four hermeneutical approaches by which elements developed in cultural studies are introduced to the field of Quranic exegesis and interdisciplinary dialogue between the exegesis of Old Testament, New Testament and Quran is meant to be enriched.1. New light is shed on objects that play a crucial role in the different Joseph stories, such as the cup of the King, the garment, and the crops. Those objects are treated not as motives or literary elements, but as objects of knowledge, to which particular understandings of historicity and identity are attached that differ with the contexts of transmission and interpretation.2. Aspects of gender and power that figure prominently in most Joseph stories are to be analysed and compared in diachronic perspective and put into context.3. The method of „deep-psychological“ scriptural hermeneutics which is an established, if also controversially debated, exegetical tool in biblical studies, has not been introduced to Quranic studies at all. The Joseph story is a perfect point of departure for a comparative deep-psychological approach, because it reflects a process of individual transformation and individuation that stands out in the literatures of late antiquity. 4. A fourth approach consists in highlighting different figurations of the prophetic body and the notions of divine-human communication attached to it.By focussing on the diachronic development in the different trajectories, the project serves an exemplary function. It stresses reciprocal entanglements of supposedly distinct cultural and religious traditions and regions by showing continuity and participation in textual and exegetical practises from the contexts of Judaism, early Christianity and Islam.A heuristic concept was established to tie the different hermeutical case studies together. Key notions for better understanding and describing the continuity and diversity, the modes of adaption, repetition, negation and change of the Joseph stories in antiquity and late antiquity are: wisdom and transcription.
