| description |
This exceptionally erudite and readable book examines the educational
curriculum in several ancient Near Eastern and Eastern Hellenistic cultures.
In the wake of the renewed scholarly interest in the interplay between orality
and textuality in pre-modern societies (especially the studies of Susan
Niditch on ancient Israelite literature), Carr’s study breaks new ground by
investigating the ways in which both writing and oral traditions worked in
tandem in shaping the social identities of literate elites.
Part I investigates the educational curriculums of two pre-alphabetic
cultures, Mesopotamia and Egypt, which are then compared to the alphabetic
cultures of early Israel and Greece. In cuneiform cultures the written media
of instructional texts have survived in large numbers and provide a wealth of
information pertaining to the subsequent revisions of the learning curriculum
over the course of more than two thousand years. Though less abundant, the
Egyptian educational materials demonstrate even more clearly how textuality
was used as part of a broader process of enculturation of literate elites. The
emphasis in both educational systems was not so much in preparing the
students for everyday scribal tasks, but rather on passing on the basic core of
“cultural texts”, which, as defined by Jan Assman, were highly authoritative
compositions by virtue of their extreme antiquity and numinosity... |
