Requirements for Participation

Chronicles-Ezra-Nehemiah


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Chronicles-Ezra-Nehemiah (CEN) section will hold four sessions in 2022. Session 1: An invited panel, "Reading Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah amid Early Jewish Literature," co-sponsored with the Pseudepigrapha Program Unit. Session 2: "Chronicles and Utopia," co-sponsored with the Utopian Studies Consultation. We welcome proposals that address questions regarding the category of utopia as it has been utilized to interpret Chronicles: How might we theorize the category of utopia in conjunction with the category of historiography, with Chronicles as the case study? What do we understand differently about Chronicles when it is put in conversation with other ancient or modern utopian works, and vice versa? Submissions for this session should attend to theoretical work from within the field of Utopian Studies. Session 3: A co-sponsored session with the Textual Criticism of the Historical Books Program Unit, focusing on text-critical and text-historical issues as they relate Chronicles to Samuel–Kings. This session is accepting proposals for any topic that fit under this rubric. Session 4: An open session. We welcome paper proposals on any topic relevant to the program unit, and we especially encourage early-career scholars to submit proposals to the open session.
