John's Apocalypse and Cultural Contexts Ancient and Modern


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2024, the John’s Apocalypse section will host four sessions, including one open call: (1) The first is an invited panel on the future of gender studies and the book of Revelation. (2) With the SBL Novum Testamentum Graece – Editio Critica Maior unit, we are co-sponsoring an invited session on the the publication of the Editio Critica Maior of the Book of Revelation. (3) With the Latina/o/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation section, alongside multiple AAR and SBL units, we invite papers that consider the impact and influence of the work of the late queer performance theorist José Esteban Muñoz on the study of religion and sexuality, especially since 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the publication of Disidentifications. We welcome attention to any facet of Muñoz’s work. In biblical studies, we are particularly interested in the intersections of his thought with latinidades, gender, sexuality, island hermeneutics, the apocalypse, and the utopian. (4) Finally, we invite papers for an open session on any topic related to John’s Apocalypse and Cultural Contexts Ancient and Modern.
