Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity American Academy of Religion Program Unit<\/p>\n

Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity is seeking paper proposals for four sessions for the annual meeting in Boston in November 2020.<\/p>\n

1) Middle Eastern Christianity and Others in the City of the Late Antique East (co-sponsored\u00a0with Middle Eastern Christianity)
\nThe Middle Eastern Christianity and the Traditions of the Late Antiquity East Units invite paper proposals that analyze Middle Eastern Christians in the city. This call is open to broad interpretation, such as: interaction with other religious communities, civic visions, city life, public engagement, civic movements, and any other ways that M.E. Christians have interpreted or engaged the city. The Call for Papers is open to scholarship from all academic fields. Successful proposals must present a clear thesis, explain the theoretical and methodological approaches of the research, and identify a specific body of evidence that the research will interpret.<\/p>\n

2) One will be an open session for which papers on any topic germane to the subject area of the\u00a0Program Unit may be proposed.<\/p>\n

3) For the second session, we will be pairing papers on particular themes across religious\u00a0traditions in the Late Antique East: Time, Space, and Text. Presenters will each offer a ten minute paper on the theme in one or more religious traditions or texts in the Late Antique East,\u00a0followed by discussion. To apply, please write a proposal detailing which theme you are\u00a0interested in presenting on, what religious tradition(s) or texts(s) you would like to explore, and\u00a0what features of the theme you are interested in highlighting. Organizers will pair interlocutors.\u00a0Proposals may explore Late Antique Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Mandaeism, Manichaeism,\u00a0eastern Christianities, early Islam, Iranian Buddhism<\/a>, and\/or any other religious traditions in the\u00a0Late Antique East.<\/p>\n

4) For the 2020 annual meeting, we are also inviting papers for a special joint session\u00a0cosponsored by Qur\u2019an Unit and the Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity Unit on Translation,\u00a0Transmission and Intertextuality. We are for paper proposals that reflect the problems and\u00a0methodologies encountered by the members of the Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity Unit\u00a0and the Qur\u2019an Unit while pursuing their research that involves translation, transmission and\u00a0intertextuality. If you have ideas for a contribution, please correspond with the co-chairs of the\u00a0two units as soon as possible to help us put together a strong and interesting panel.<\/p>\n

Mission Statement:
\nThis program Unit focused on Late Antiquity in the East aims to provide a home for the study of\u00a0religious traditions that are rooted in Mesopotamia, Persia, and western Asia, particularly those\u00a0parts that were outside the Roman cultural reach such as Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, and
\nMandaeism. While the Unit will focus on late antiquity, many of these traditions, and\u00a0particularly their extant texts come to us from much later periods, and this scholarly issue will\u00a0be part of our discussions. In addition, many of the traditions that were born in this time and\u00a0place also spread to other parts of the world, and the study of them in those forms and\u00a0contexts also has a place within this program Unit, as does investigation of their response to the\u00a0rise of Islam in the region. In addition, this Unit\u2019s focus is not exclusively on those traditions that\u00a0developed uniquely in this region, but also those which, when transplanted there, had\u00a0significant evolutions in that milieu that differ from their counterparts in other times and places
\n(e.g. Christianity, Judaism). We likewise encourage research which focuses on the interaction\u00a0between the various communities and traditions of this place and time.<\/p>\n
