Call For Papers: The PSIAM unit accepts proposals for the 2024 international meeting, focusing on the theme "Space for Memory and Memory for Space." We are particularly interested in exploring the heritage of World War II in the unique location of ISBL, Amsterdam. The discussion topics will include dark tourism and its effect on expanding the horizons of visitors, the historical dynamics of tensions and conflicts in territorialization, de-territorialization, and re-territorialization of memory, especially concerning traumatic collective memory from various national and international outbreaks of violence, and the diverse power groups' efforts on making rhetoric on the events. These topics should be related to a new interpretation of biblical passages and spatial theories. Thus, intertextual and intersectional Bible readings are welcome. In summary, the PSIAM unit is looking for proposals that suggest how the spatially sensitive reading of the Bible can contribute to reshaping the space of remembrance in our time.
