Résumé
Re-Presenting the Johannine Community : A Postcolonial Perspective explores the characterization of the Johannine community in the Farewell Discourse of the Fourth Gospel from a postcolonial perspective. The community is scrutinized with the lens of an integrated literary-rhetorical and ideological-postcolonial approach. The disciples emerge as both the "Self", insofar as they resist an imperial reality represented by the "world", and the "Other", with respect to Jesus and the Father.
As such, far from immutable and bland, the Johannine community is portrayed as chameleonic and engaged in an emerging strategy of resistance.
