Collusion and Subversion: Luke's Representation of the Roman Empire. Kim & Sung, H. Ph.D. Thesis, Drew University, United States -- New Jersey, 2009. 00000abstract bibtex As a literary product of the colonial domination of the first century C. E. Roman Empire, Luke-Acts inevitably contains numerous traces of complicated interrelations and exchanges between the colonizers and the colonized. A careful reading of Luke-Acts thus reveals that both collusive and subversive materials are concomitant in it. Moreover, whereas the Lukan narrative sometimes parodies or mocks the Roman imperial/colonial rule, in other cases Luke tends to (unconsciously?) mirror or inscribe the "grand tradition" of the empire. In this sense, it can be argued that the text of Luke-Acts itself is fundamentally unstable, especially when representing Rome. In other words, Luke's perspective on the empire is not fixed, but oscillates between two extremes, i.e., attraction and repulsion. Luke-Acts is a very complicated book in terms of its representation of Rome, mainly because Luke himself is complicated in his stance on the empire.
