    God made an incredible promise to Hagar in Gen 16.12; however, the beauty of the promise gets lost in translation. Our English Bibles typically render this promise in a pejorative manner, which has led to centuries of stigmatizing Arabs, primarily Muslim Arabs. The polyvalence of the Hebrew in the verse opens the door for significantly different renderings of God’s promise. Thus, the assumptions translators bring to the text can easily shape their understandings. This paper works through the Hebrew and proposes a suitable alternative to traditional renderings, one that is sensitive to the immediate narrative context and to the broader biblical record. Fresh reflection on this verse can lead to corrected translations and the intentional elimination of any sacred justification for this stigmatization.

  2. »Denn Ich ist ein Anderer«: Dereferenzialisierungsstrategien auf Produktions- und Rezeptionsebene innerhalb der sozialen Praxis Lyrik (mit einem Seitenblick auf Till Lindemann)

    Rimbaud’s formulation in his Lettre du voyant to Paul Demeny, »Car Je est un autre,« which has become famous in German as »Denn Ich ist ein Anderer« [For I is an Other/For I is someone else] (Rimbaud 1997, 20–21) can, in its formulaic nature, be read... more

     

    Rimbaud’s formulation in his Lettre du voyant to Paul Demeny, »Car Je est un autre,« which has become famous in German as »Denn Ich ist ein Anderer« [For I is an Other/For I is someone else] (Rimbaud 1997, 20–21) can, in its formulaic nature, be read as a motto for various practices which effect a dissociation between the addressee and the author of lyric texts. In this text, these dissociation processes are referred to as practices of dereferentialization. The first thesis of this article is that an ambiguization of the addressee reference – not only by means of epitextual authorial poetological statements according to the abovementioned reasoning, but indeed from within the texts themselves – can manifest itself as a strategy in poetry production which leads to a poem becoming ambiguous, that is, allowing for more possible interpretations and as a consequence acquiring a positive quality. That dereferentialization has also proved to be a strategy of literary reception (and more specifically within the practice of interpretation) whose goal is to secure a property that is considered constitutive of poetry forms the second thesis presented here. Both theses are based on the assumption that ambiguity is an axiological value within the social practice of ›lyric poetry‹. The article concludes with a discussion of whether the reception-side dereferentialization is sometimes performed too uncritically, with a view towards Till Lindemann’s Undank und Wenn du schläfst. ; Rimbauds Formulierung in seinem Lettre du voyant an Paul Demeny, »Car Je est un autre«, die im Deutschen als »Denn Ich ist ein Anderer« (Rimbaud 1997, 20-21) berühmt geworden ist, kann in ihrer Formelhaftigkeit als Motto für verschiedene Praktiken gelesen werden, die eine Dissoziation zwischen Adressat und Autor lyrischer Texte bewirken. In diesem Text werden diese Distanzierungsprozesse als Praktiken der Dereferentialisierung bezeichnet. Die erste These dieses Artikels lautet, dass eine Ambiguisierung des Adressatenbezugs - nicht nur durch ...
