Requirements for Participation

Writing/Reading Jeremiah


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We welcome submissions for the following panels: 1) Historical, Literary, and Postmodern Signifying: A Case Study from Jeremiah. This panel will explore ways in which three interpretive axes -- historical context, literary signifying, and postmodern interpretive practices -- may cooperate to enrich our understanding of a thorny text even as they challenge each other's interpretive assumptions. The focus of proposals should be on one or more texts within the laments of Jeremiah, understood as a collection. Proposals should attend to the difference that method makes in our interpretive engagements. 2) Open session. Papers are invited on any interpretive issue related to the book of Jeremiah. Priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate a hermeneutical attentiveness that moves beyond, or seeks to complicate, traditional historicist interpretive paradigms.
