Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: One session of the Violence and Representations of Violence among Jews and Christians Section will involve an invited panel on the "fatal charades" and violent spectacles of the Roman Empire, highlighting the work of Prof. Kathleen Coleman, Harvard University, and including a response from her. The section also invites paper proposals for an open session on any topic dealing with violence and representations of violence among Jews and Christians (and others) in antiquity and late antiquity. Special consideration will be given to papers that engage trauma theory and/or the work of Susan Sontag on the "pain of others," as well as papers that include archaeological remains or art historical materials.
