Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The program unit encourages in particular applications from younger scholars and underrepresented groups. As always, the sole criterion for acceptance of papers will be their scholarly quality. For the 2021 annual meeting in San Antonio, the TCHB invites papers for one open session related to the theme of “Between Literal Rendering and Interpretative Translation: How the (Late) Ancient Versions Understood Their Vorlage/Base Texts.” Papers should explore the differences between literal and interpretative renderings in the context of both primary and secondary translations. Possible issues could include the general style of a primary or secondary translation, the literary style of a given translation, the question of translational characteristics restricted to specific biblical books, the hermeneutical characteristics of a given translation, and matters of translation technique. The program unit is also planning two invited sessions on the topics of 1) “Memory, Orality, and Textuality in the Textual History of the Hebrew Bible” and 2) “Difficult Heritage: Stereotypes and Rhetoric in Modern Literature Textual Criticism.”
