Call For Papers: For the 2012 meeting, the Apocalyptic Literature Section invites proposals in three areas:

  • We welcome paper proposals on all aspects of the study of ancient apocalyptic literature.
  • The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha Section will hold a joint session with the Apocalyptic Literature Section with the theme "Monstrous Bodies," including gigantic and hybrid bodies. This will be the first in a series of sessions over the next few years exploring bodies in the apocalyptic literature, apocrypha, and pseudepigrapha. We welcome papers utilizing a wide range of methodologies, including but not limited to historical and literary analysis, empire studies, cultural theory, body theory, and monster theory.
  • Finally, we invite proposals on the history of reception, interpretation and/or appropriation of ancient apocalyptic literature. We welcome proposals exploring the full range of reception history from ancient to modern, including but not limited to literature and visual arts.
