PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD - KIRSTEN MARIE HAR...

This study analyzes an oral performance of the entire Gospel of Mark  with emphasis on
involvement with characters and events  the emotional effects of such involvement  and how
these processes maintain or shape the identity of those who hear the Gospel. Insights from
cognitive poetics and psychonarratology are employed to illuminate the complex  cognitive
processes that take place when audience members experience an oral performance of the Gospel.
Consequently  this study expands previous research on the Gospel of Mark which was conducted on
the basis of narrative criticism  orality criticism  and performance criticism by including
cognitive aspects. Cognitive poetics and psychonarratology have to my knowledge not been
extensively employed to illuminate an oral performance of the Gospel of Mark previously. This
investigation provides: (1) An original  coherent theoretical and methodological framework  (2)
An analysis of mechanisms which promote involvement with characters and events in the Markan
narrative  (3) An examination of the prospective emotional effects of such involvement  (4)
Reflections on the potential of these mechanisms with regard to identity maintenance or
formation through cultural memory  (5) A cognitive poetic commentary on the entire Gospel of
Mark.
