Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Two sessions are anticipated, both consisting of a mix of invited and open papers.

  • The theme of the first session is 'Body and Space / Body in Space / Body as Space.' Papers investigating the experience of the body (or the self) in space and/or as space from different perspectives will be welcomed. Contributions from diverse fields, e.g. narratological, critical-spatial, feminist, sociological and psychological perspectives, will be considered.
  • The theme of the second session is 'Everyday Space in the Ancient World.' Papers investigating the everyday, or ordinary, spaces encountered, or implied, in ancient texts will be welcomed. How are such spaces (e.g. home, agora, etc.) and pathways represented in their own right, and how are they placed in relation to sacred spaces (which may also be everyday spaces themselves)? What does the investigation of everyday spaces tell us about the formation of identity in the ancient world? Again contributions from diverse fields will be considered. Contributions from the field of archaeology will be welcomed as well.
