Description
Summary:The article traces the dialectical unfolding involved in the Markan naked young man text (Mark 14:51-52). It follows the dialectical process of (1) Jesus’s seizure; (2) the young man’s seizure which diminishes the impact of Jesus’s seizure; (3) the young man’s non-seizure and absence; and (4) the young man’s return to presence through reification of his garment. Finally, it focuses on the last dialectical moment in which the Gospel of Mark text seizes the young man and Jesus.
