[csaa-forum] CFP: 13th Bible and Critical Theory Seminar, Perth, 13/12/08

[mnchr1 at student.monash.edu]

Dear colleagues,

Abstracts and expressions of interest are invited for the 13th Bible 
and Critical Theory Seminar. The seminar is an informal scholarly 
gathering in a pub, devoted to discussion of the intersection of 
critical theory and biblical studies. After recent gatherings in 
Melbourne and Auckland, a session will be held in Perth on Saturday 
the 13th of December (and possibly a further day, depending on 
interest). Papers are welcome on any relevant topic: Marxist, 
feminist, postcolonial, queer, ecocritical etc. readings of biblical 
texts; the ‘turn to religion’ and/or the new Paulinism; the influence, 
use and abuse of the Bible in contemporary cultural and literary 
texts, etc. (Those interested might wish to visit the affiliated 
journal at <http://www.epress.monash.edu/bc/about.html>.)

Anyone wishing to present a paper, or interested in attending, is 
asked to contact me at <Matthew.Chrulew at arts.monash.edu.au> by the 
31st of October. More details will be provided closer to the event. 
Please forward this CFP to any parties who may be interested. 

All the best,
Matt Chrulew
