Forced-Return Migrations (Exile-Return) in Biblical Literature


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The forced migration and return migrations periods (exile-return) have been prominent for biblical literature. This new International Consultation fosters research and dialogue on displacement and resettlement issues pertaining to the 6th and 5th centuries B.C.E. We welcome traditional historical, literary, redactional, sociological, post-, paleoclimateological, theological and others methods toward a better understanding of these periods. Studies on the metaphor of exile or forced and return migration studies: im/migration, intergeneration, acculturation, assimilation, transnationalism, development induced displacement, internal displacement, refugee, repatriation, disaporic homecoming, ethnic return studies—are highly encouraged.
