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.
