Ideological Criticism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Ideological Criticism Section seeks papers on the following topics for the 2012 meeting 1) The Ideology and Ideological Use of Apocalypticism. In light of current topics couched in overtly apocalyptic rhetoric -- such as the 2012 hysteria and descriptions of the looming ecological disaster -- we are interested in papers that analyze the ideological nature of apocalypticism, particularly in its end-of-the-world form, both ancient and modern, religious and secular and that explore the use of apocalypticism in political, religious and cultural discourse. 2) The Bible and Economic Inequality. With the advent of the Occupy movements and other activist events we encourage papers that deal with the role of the bible in facilitating or resisting economic inequality both in ancient and modern times. 3) The Chicago School impact on Religious Studies. We invite papers that deal with the impact that the Chicago School has had on the discipline over-all.
