Requirements for Participation

Space, Place, and Lived Experience in Antiquity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite paper proposals for a session dedicated to the relations of narrative and space. How does spatiality inflect narrative? How does narrative produce and alter material spaces and their attendant imaginaries? What role does narrative play in the use and misuse of space? How does sacred space rely on and/or defy narrative? Scholars working in literary and archaeological approaches to ancient religions are welcome to submit proposals. A second session of invited papers will discuss the edited volumes produced by this unit over the last decade in order to provide a retrospective and prospective review of the study of space, place, and lived religion in antiquity.
