Abstract

La théologie négro-africaine contemporaine apparaît comme la réponse pluridisciplinaire que les chrétiens africains donnent à la question qui leur a été posée par la pénétration coloniale du christianisme occidental en Afrique noire. Cette irruption hégémonique du christianisme missionnaire à partir de la Conférence de Berlin (novembre 1884 à février 1885) implique une rencontre conflictuelle et critique entre l'épistémologie de la modernité occidentale avec sa rationalité instrumentale (technique, militaire, graphique et physico-mathématique), d'une part, et l'épistémologie de la tradition africaine, avec sa rationalité symbolique (mythique, narrative, orale et holistique), d'autre part.La collision entre ces deux types de rationalité induit nécessairement un conflit d'hégémonie (suprématie) religieuse, culturelle, militaire, politique et économique. La tâche primordiale des théologies africaines contemporaines consiste à se réapproprier en profondeur, en largeur et en hauteur la Révélation de l'engagement public du Dieu Trinité dans l'histoire des hommes en faisant face aux questions brûlantes de la gestion responsable d'une triple crise : la crise postcoloniale, la crise de la mondialisation néolibérale et la crise de la prolifération des croyances, pratiques et pathologies attenantes au monde occulte des sorcelleries, des envoûtements et de la possession par les esprits partout en Afrique.

Abstract

Reimagining Hagar' illustrates that while interpretations of Hagar as Black are not frequent within the entire history of her interpretation, such interpretations are part of strategies to emphasize elements of Hagar's story in order to associate or disassociate her from particular groups. It considers how interpreters engage markers of difference, including gender, ethnicity, status and their intersections in their portrayals of Hagar. Nysaha Junior offers a reception history that examines interpretations of Hagar with a focus on interpretations of Hagar as a Black woman. Reception history within biblical studies considers the use, impact, and influence of biblical texts and looks at a necessarily small number of points within the long history of the transmission of biblical texts. This volume covers a limited selection of interpretations over time that is not intended to be a representative sample of interpretations of Hagar. It is beyond the scope of this book to offer a comprehensive collection of interpretations of Hagar throughout the history of biblical interpretation or in popular culture. Junior argues for the African presence in biblical texts; identifies and responds to White supremacist interpretations; offers cultural-historical interpretation that attends to the history of biblical interpretation within Black communities; and provides ideological criticism that uses the African-American context as a reading strategy. 'Reimagining Hagar' offers a history of interpretation, but also expands beyond interpretation among Black communities to consider how various interpreters have identified Hagar as Black.
