„A Dalithos Reading of a
Markan Exorcism: Mark 5:1–20”, în
The
Expository Times, vol. 118, nr. 9, 2007, pp. 428–435. (pdf.)
An attempt is made to read the story of the Gerasene
Demoniac (Mark 5:1–20 ) using Dalithos, or the ethos of the Dalit community, as
a hermeneutical premise. Taking into consideration the subversive role of
‘possession’ as an accepted form of protest among the Dalit communities in
their highly constrained life situation, where other social mechanisms of coping
with oppression are few, employing Dalithos as a hermeneutical category helps
engage in a liberative appropriation of the passage for the Dalits. Certain salient
features of Dalithos – pragmatism, the primacy of community and solidarity, and
emancipatory re-mythologization – are used as parameters in appropriating the
story for the Dalit context.
