LGBTI/Queer Hermeneutics


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Apocalyptic Literature under a Queer Lens. The LGBT/ Queer Hermeneutics Sections invites papers exploring intersections between apocalyptic texts and LGBT/ Queer Hermeneutics. We welcome papers that offer queer readings of apocalyptic texts from across and around the canon, including Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Enoch, Apocalypse of Peter, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc, as well as papers that engage more general themes of biblical apocalypticism (e.g. dualism, hybridity, eschatology) through an LGBT/ Queer lens. For our second session, co-sponsored with the Program Unit on Gender, Sexuality, and the Bible, we invite submissions for papers that explore the prefixes of ‘inter-’ and ‘trans-’ in relation to bodies, gender, sexualities and the biblical texts and traditions. We encourage proposals to think broadly about these prefixes, exploring issues of intersex and transgender experiences alongside of or in relation to broad themes of intersection, transformation, transnational, etc.
