Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We are planning several sessions for the Atlanta meetings and are seeking submissions around a number of themes. FIRST, we invite proposals for papers on any element of research related to the relationship(s) between "Paul" and "politics" (in the broadest sense of both of these terms. SECOND, we invite proposals that explore innovative methods for interpreting archaeological materials in conversation with Pauline texts, and especially those illuminating the intersections between rhetoric and archaeology. THIRD, we seek paper proposals engaging queer approaches to Pauline epistles or interpretations (using both of the terms "queer" and "Pauline" in capacious ways). A variety of approaches are encouraged, either to the "Pauline" (the person, the letters, their audiences and after-lives, ancient contexts and continuing impacts) or to the "queer" aspects of papers, but we are especially interested in proposals that foreground their theoretical conversation partners. Questions or further inquiries about these themes may be directed to either of the co-chairs, Joseph Marchal, at josephamarchal@gmail.com, or Diana Swancutt at dmswancutt@gmail.com
