Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2015 we are planning three sessions. The first will be a pre-arranged session, co-sponsored with Religious World of Late Antiquity Section, on Robert C. Gregg’s book, Shared Stories, Rival Tellings: Early Encounters of Jews, Christians and Muslims (forthcoming from OUP). The second will also be a pre-arranged session on Mira Balberg's book, Purity, Body and the Self in Early Rabbinic Literature (University of California Press, 2014). For the third session, we seek proposals on the topic of Imperial Spaces of Conflict. We are particularly interested in papers focusing on the spatial dimension of agonic relations between individuals or groups that were subject to imperial power in late antiquity. We would also welcome papers that deal with spatial tensions (for example, borders, liminal settlements, contested resources, land use) between the Roman, Sasanian, or Byzantine empires and those who lived within their territories.
