Subject: Bible and Critical Theory Seminar 2011: final call for papers
Final Call for Papers: due date, 7 September 2011
If you have been holding back but wish to propose a paper for the Bible and Critical Theory Seminar this year, please do so before 7 September.
Details:
The Bible and Critical Theory Seminar will meet for its 14th year at the Boundary Hotel in Brisbane on the weekend of 5-6 November, 2011.
The seminar typically deals with papers at the intersections between biblical criticism and critical theory, which we understand in the broad sense to include poststructuralism, cultural analysis, feminism, marxism, ideological analysis, queer theory, postcolonialism, empire studies, and so on. However, we are also open to papers that deal with these areas and religion more generally. Up to 30 of us gather in a pub for a weekend somewhere in Australia or New Zealand, partake of papers, what the bar has to offer, explore plans, ideas, new directions. The seminar has become an internationally recognised hub of innovative research in Australia and beyond, with regular visitors from overseas.
Where: Boundary Hotel, Boundary Street, West End, Brisbane
When: Saturday-Sunday, 5-6 November 2011
Cost: $30 waged; $15 underwaged or unwaged
