Requirements for Participation

Philology in Hebrew Studies


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2015, the Philology in Hebrew Studies consultation is actively soliciting papers on the theme “bilingualism and translation in antiquity.” Philology studies textual and linguistic communication; as part of the core procedures of the discipline, the boundaries between languages must be transgressed. But this linguistic “border-crossing” is not solely the project of modern philologists—it was already a common problem facing the peoples of antiquity, and was overcome in diverse and effective ways. We invite proposals that consider issues raised by the complications of inter-linguistic interaction, and that analyze the methods and contexts of translation in antiquity. Topics to be addressed potentially include: product- vs. process-oriented approaches in translation studies; bilingualism and/or translation in co-texts; and methods of assessing the translator’s technique in biblical and non-biblical translations. Although we especially encourage papers on this theme, we will continue to accept papers on any methodological or theoretical aspects of Philology in Hebrew Studies and, more broadly, in Northwest Semitic.
