Requirements for Participation

Stylistics and the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Stylistics and the Hebrew Bible section invites submissions for three sessions in 2013. • The first and second session focus on the 2007 special issue of Prooftexts, entitled ‘Before and After “The Art of Biblical Narrative”’, a volume dedicated to the contributions of literary criticism in Biblical studies. In addition to a session with invited speakers, we also solicit papers for an open session on this topic. Scholars are invited to formulate critiques, responses and answers to the issues raised in the volume. Contributions that address developments in the field postdating 2007 are particularly welcomed. • A third session will explore various devices present in the Hebrew Bible text and focus on how they can enhance our understanding of the text. Papers should address a specific feature in any given book or combination of books. Features can be semantic, structural, grammatical or phonetic in nature or consist of a mixture of these elements (examples: hendiadys, (Janus) parallelism, geminate clusters, paronomasia …).
