Israel and the Production and Reception of Authoritative Books in the Persian and Hellenistic Period (EABS)


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Thematic sessions may deal with individual books, collections of books; or may focus on some aspect of the production and reception of the relevant books. Papers will be invited, but members are also welcome to submit proposals.

The theme for 2012 is "Cities as Sites of Memory in the Persian and Early Hellenistic Period. What kind of memories were evoked by specific cities or by physical aspects, quarters, or structures of a city more generally? In which ways did these memories impact the social mindscape of the community? The deadline for submitting proposals for this session is Sept. 30, 2011. Depending on the response, we will decide whether to hold two sessions on this topic or only one. Although several papers will be invited, there will be sufficient space for new proposals and for a general discussion on the topic. This session follows in the footsteps of our very successful 2011 session on the matter, which included papers devoted to Jerusalem, Tyre, Samaria, Shechem, and Babyon. A volume will emerge from these sessions. For more information about this Research Programme please go to http://www.eabs.net/rgroupDetails.aspx?ID=21.
