ISSUES OF LITERATE ACTION IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING OF THE PROLOGUE OF THE LETTER TO THE HEBREWS
Abstract
The Letter to the Hebrews is a biblical text with a hybrid font – Hebrew and Greek – interesting to observe the literacy resources used by the author under the perspective of intertextuality. The aim of this study is to point out marks of literate action in the prologue Hb 1.1-4, taken as a corpus for the analysis of linguisticdiscursive topics that converge from yesterday to today, in recurring social practices. In view of these issues, the study is based on the theoretical contributions found in Bazerman (2015a; 2015b) in the light of the “rhetoric of literate action” and in Street (2014) through the vision of literacy that underlines the social practice. Based upon a qualitative research, we reflect on the strategies of literate action in the prologue, focusing on research based on bibliographic corpus analysis. This procedure will reveal that literate action is not restricted to the privileged intellectual condition of members of a social group, but involves responsible participants in everyday activities.
