Performance Criticism of the Bible and Other Ancient Texts


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2012, the Performance Criticism of Biblical and Other Ancient Texts group will offer two sessions devoted to the interaction between performer and audience during the performance of biblical or other texts in the ancient context. One will reflect this interaction focusing on the role of the performer, the other on the role of the audience. Papers are invited that reflect on this interaction from either perspective. The group will also will share a joint session with the Orality and Textuality in the Formation of the Hebrew Bible group devoted to memory, manuscript and performance in the composition and transmission of biblical texts. Papers are invited that focus on this topic as well. The Performance Criticism of Biblical and Other Ancient Texts group is intended to foster discussion about how the creation and interpretation of biblical and other ancient texts has been shaped by their oral transmission and aural reception by ancient communities, using the methods associated with performance criticism.
