“…It can be "abbreviated, or long and loving" (Kimmerer, 2013, p. 110), and there is no wrong way to deliver it (Porter, 2008, p. 9) because it is an offering that comes from the heart of the individual who shares it. Tom Porter (2008), Mohawk scholar, Elder, and spiritual leader from Akwesasne, currently residing in Kanatsiohareke, describes the action of the address as "put[ting] our thankfulness one layer after another layer" and then "pick[ing] it up and... carry[ing] it with us" (p. 12). The Thanksgiving Address, in simple and yet profound terms, is the living practice of thanksgiving every day and giving thanks is part of the original instructions given by the Creator for the Haudenosaunee people.…”

“…Greeting and giving thanks to the natural world for the ways that it supports life on Earth is a common global practice amongst many Indigenous peoples. Porter (2008) suggests that many pre-colonial societies also lived in relationship with land, and engaged in reciprocal relationships with all aspects of the natural world where thanks was offered. He states that giving thanks is the spiritual key of the ceremonial world of the Iroquois: the Mohawk, and the Oneida, the Onondaga, the Cayuga, the Seneca, and the Tuscarora.…”

This article aims to offer a broad theoretical engagement with the Haudenosaunee Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen (Thanksgiving Address) and the practice of giving thanks as a foundational Indigenous Knowledge education practice for elementary school age children. We propose a critical rethinking of the practice of the Land Acknowledgement and instead put forward the Thanksgiving Address as a way to center Indigenous Knowledge practices and education in school systems. We provide a brief overview of the history and practice of the Thanksgiving Address, and a critical examination of institutionalized land acknowledgments. The work of educators at the Jackman Institute for Child Study with land acknowledgements and the Thanksgiving Address offers insight into land and place-based pedagogical approaches that take up Indigenous knowledge education and challenges coopted practices of Indigenous education.

Hearths, Embers and Braziers: on the Role of Domestic Fire in the Odyssey

Despite the relatively limited presence of fire in the Odyssey, especially in comparison to the Iliad, the poem contains a conspicuous number of images related to the fireplace. I argue that, since the hearth embodies the ideas of “fire” and “home” and appears to highlight the most important moments of Odysseus’ homecoming, it serves to establish an emblematic connection with the returning hero, whose telos, like his fireplace, lies within the household sphere. The largely domestic setting of fire in the Odyssey reflects the nature of its hero: human, controlled, persistent, and thus the opposite of the bright but volatile flames of Iliadic warriors.

“…23 Some of the shared problems between classicists and biblical scholars include textual pluriformity, complex textual histories of their primary sources, situating those texts within their ancient literate and textual landscape, accounting for oral traditions and performances, et al Cf. The discussions of the object of study in Porter (2019) and Kozack (2017), who address some of these issues when approaching characterization in the epics through performance. My primary conversation partner here is Peter Kivy, from his work Kivy (2006); for the language of allographic and autographic, Kivy is drawing on the work of Goodman (1968).…”

Shifting Gears or Splitting Hairs? Performance Criticism’s Object of Study

In keeping with the call of this Special Issue, this article is but one voice in the midst of a much broader conversation, attending to whether the differences between narrative and performance criticism are a matter of degree or kind. Narrative and biblical performance criticisms are natural bedfellows. The two appear genealogically related as they share similar founders, attend to similar features, and to a degree share similar interests with regard to interpretation. In fact, their interests appear to be so closely aligned at several points that attempts to distinguish between these two approaches run the risk of simply “splitting hairs”. Yet, our recognition of these distinctions is essential for highlighting the unique contribution of each approach. In what follows, I suggest that the differences between performance and narrative criticisms are rather (at least theoretically) a “shifting of gears”, a progression toward a more complex understanding of how biblical texts work in various contexts and how we as scholars may approach them as objects of study. While the object of study in narrative criticism is relatively well established (again, at least theoretically), this is not necessarily the case for performance criticism. In short, by way of contrast, I will suggest that for performance criticism, its object is similar to yet distinct from the object of study of narrative criticism. Such a claim is by no means groundbreaking, especially among the performance critics, nor should it necessarily be viewed as controversial. Rather, in exploring the contours of each approach, this contribution aims to provide additional theoretical credence to certain areas within this conversation. In doing so, this inadvertently has implications not only for our thinking in this particular volume, but also perhaps more broadly for biblical studies.
