Requirements for Participation

Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible will host four sessions in 2024. The first session will be a joint session with the "Exile (Forced Migration) Unit, focusing on intertextual engagement between reading the Book of Genesis and various exilic forms, return, or diaspora (OPEN Call). We would like to invite proposals for our second session (Invited Papers, joint with Genesis unit) and third session (OPEN Call) based on the theme of "Leaving Home, Returning Home, or Making Home: Reading Genesis Intertextually." We are particularly interested in proposals that explore the themes of family conflicts, separation, and reconciliation, exiles caused by various factors such as climate change, internal displacement, and involuntary migrations, as well as the lives of the diaspora in Genesis and how they relate to our present time. Regarding methodological engagement, we are interested in proposals dealing with the relationship between intertextuality and various reading strategies, which would occur in re-reading the book. They include source criticism, redaction criticism, literary and rhetorical criticism, gender studies, and contemporary cultural or intersectional connections. Papers that deal with intertextual reading in heuristic reading experiences will also be welcome. Our final session is OPEN to all proposals related to Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible, with preference given to the call for our joint sessions and the focus on the book of Genesis. We strongly encourage the participants to reflect on their concept or methodology of 'intertextuality.'
