Call For Papers: The negotiation of authority, places, myth and memory.

How do human beings orientate themselves in the world, and how do patterns of human orientation reveal themselves in Biblical and related literature? This question is the focus of the 2012 sessions. The hypothesis is that human orientation takes place in negotiations of authority and through claims to places, myths and memory. Therefore, the sessions will focus on human orientation in the landscape and related to the native land and other belongings, as well as the linguistic means of identity formation and orientation: the creation of foundational myths and memory, the shaping of authoritative and normative texts, etc.
