Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Three sessions are planned for 2009. For the first, we welcome proposals on the topic of pilgrimage in the ancient world. Proposals might address the topic from theoretical, textual, or materials perspectives (or some combination thereof), or explore how the idea of pilgrimage informs the reading of texts and/or influences the reading of material culture. For the second session, we welcome all proposals related to the themes of this unit. A third session is being planned jointly with the Book of the Twelve Prophets section. "The Book of the Twelve Prophets Section and Space, Place, and Lived Experience in Antiquity Section welcome proposals addressing the question of the 'landscape' of the Twelve, with attention to how space is practiced, experienced, imagined, or construed within the Twelve, either within individual books or the corpus as a whole. Possible examples include the land of Israel/Judah, the city of Jerusalem, and the Jerusalem Temple." Please submit proposals for this session through the Book of the Twelve Prophets Section.
