Identity Through Discourse: Narrative Technique In The Epistula Severi, Mark Pearsall Jan 2018

Identity Through Discourse: Narrative Technique In The Epistula Severi, Mark Pearsall

New England Classical Journal

This article analyzes the Epistula Severi, a fifth-century letter which describes the coercive conversion of Jews on the island of Minorca. Approaching the text on the level of narrative and rhetoric, rather than history alone, it argues that the letter’s framing and historical account serve to promote a discourse of binary opposition between Jews and Christians. In his presentation of the events, the letter’s author obscures Christian agency in anti-Jewish violence and argues for divine sanction of violent conversions. The historical dimension of the letter’s discourse is considered along with that of its content.

Lycophron’S Alexandra: “Restaging” The East-West Conflict, Akira V. Yatsuhashi Jan 2018

Lycophron’S Alexandra: “Restaging” The East-West Conflict, Akira V. Yatsuhashi

New England Classical Journal

This paper argues that Lycrophon’s Alexandra overwrites the model of Herodotus to condense the conflict between East and West and advocate for uniformly “Greek” cultural identity. As the idea of what it meant to be Greek or barbarian began to transform with the events of the early Hellenistic period, concurrent literary works like those of Lycrophon responded to cultural anxieties by redefining Hellenicity to unite displaced Greek-speaking peoples. Herodotus and Lycrophon both claim epistemological authority of their narratives, but unlike Herodotus, Lycrophon explores the individual motivations of historical actors and incorporates both poetic and prose traditions into his narrative.
