Riassunto

The category of "reception" has undergone a retrieval in theology since Vatican II. The work of Hans Robert Jauss has been little used in that retrieval. This dissertation proposes Jauss' reception aesthetics and literary hermeneutics as helpful for understanding certain issues related to the nature of doctrine and its reception.
Jauss' theory focuses on the creative role of the reader in the interpretation of a literary work and highlights the importance of readerly reception in the history of literary tradition. With a focus on the creative sensus fidei of the receiver of doctrine for understanding, interpreting and applying doctrine from within daily life, the reception of doctrine (along with revelation, Scripture and tradition) is presented as analogous to the reception of a work of art. The many loci receptionis in the church are noted, in order to demonstrate the rich plurality of "receivers" who can aid the magisterium in the rejuvenating reception of doctrine through a consensus fidelium. A theological hermeneutics is proposed which appropriates certain principles from Jauss' literary hermeneutics, while also highlighting the distinctiveness of doctrinal texts.
