Requirements for Participation

Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible will be hosting four sessions. We will have two joint sessions (invited papers): one with Israelite Prophetic Literature and the other with Wisdom in Israelite and Cognate Traditions. Our third joint session, co-sponsored with Bible and Popular Culture, is an OPEN call. We invite proposals exploring unexpected intersections between biblical texts and pop culture productions. Intertextuality puts two or more unlike things in conversation in order to illuminate each other and create new and unexpected "truths" via their dialogue. Understood in this way, we invite presenters to put the Hebrew Bible and pop culture into unsuspected dialogues that stimulate novel perspectives and ideas. For example, how might reading science fiction change the way we understand prophecy? What new modes of feminist literature could be inspired from the intersections of Beyonce and Judith? How might Tik Tokers and the biblical writers teach each other and future communicators about (un)effective storytelling? What does K-Pop have to do with the Deuteronomistic History? How might reading modern poets and Psalms together create new understandings of poetry? Presenters are encouraged to pursue creative lines of investigation that bring the Hebrew Bible and modern examples of popular culture into new and fresh dialogue. Our final session is OPEN to all proposals related to Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible with preference given to proposals related to the call for our joint session with Bible and Popular Culture (see above).
