Requirements for Participation

Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We are planning three sessions. One is a joint session with the Apocalyptic Literature program unit. This is an invited session that will explore how the Dead Sea Scrolls contribute to our understanding of sapiential and apocalyptic traditions. The theme of the second session is "The Dead Sea Scrolls: Thinking about the Relationship between Texts and Embodied Experiences." Some papers have been invited for this session. We welcome papers that engage methodological questions about embodied experiences in general and experience, emotions, and cognition in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls and literature associated with them. What specific role do texts have in mediating, solidifying, conceptualizing, prescribing, or describing embodied experiences? The session is especially interested in considering how cognitive- and neurosciences can help scholars formulate new questions about the study of the Scrolls. Speakers may also consider other material and contemporary textual evidence for the study of experience. In addition, for a third session we invite papers on any subject related to Qumran texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
