Focalization in the Old Testament Narratives with Specific Examples from the Book of Ruth

What it is about

The thesis brings the narratological notion of focalization (Genette: whose knowledge restricts what the reader is told) to biblical narrative, which earlier biblical scholars mostly used as a loose synonym of "point of view". It builds a method on Schmid's three levels of narrative constitution — selection, composition, presentation — and Tjupa's theory of eventfulness. Applied to Ruth: 16 episodes form four events, each with a pivotal moment (1:16–17, 2:11–12, 3:11, 4:10); composition works through reported speech and what the author calls the "play of horizons", i.e. how much each participant (character, reader, narrator) knows at each point; presentation is mostly internally focalized. Dialogue is treated as "parallel focalization", external and internal at once. Finally, qatal verbs cluster in internally focalized passages, sorted into narrative (a series of qatal recounting a period from a character's view), evaluative (one qatal summing up an event) and referential uses; the author concludes the link is a tendency, not a rule.

Ideas

For Mova

I1 is a count for Discourse: narrative, speech and the shape of a text (background clauses, direct speech) using tools/macula/src/prag.rs output. I2 is a design point for the world built from the trees (participant tracking, 09-discourse.md), with Ruth-like Torah stories (Gen 24, Gen 37–45) as tests. I3 is a candidate episode-salience measure for the same chapter.
