Call for Proposals

This Group is seeking individual paper or panel proposals on the following topics:

Ethics and the limits of Holocaust representation, continuing our discussion of artistic license, culpable distortions, and Holocaust revisioning

Critical reflections on Michael Rothberg’s Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization (Palo Alto, CA: Stanford University Press, 2009) that address how we move beyond competing memories of genocide, racism, and colonialism, with a response by the author

Mutual perceptions of the Holocaust in the Muslim world and/or the Holocaust in the Mediterranean world (for a possible cosponsored session with the Study of Islam Section)

Proposals related to conscience/dissent, violence, microaggressions, and the use of language/metaphor

Proposals examining the queering of disability studies and religion (for a possible cosponsored session with the Lesbian-Feminist Issues and Religion Group)

Mission

This Group provides an academic forum to integrate the analysis of the Holocaust with past and ongoing problems of genocide around the globe. It asks critical questions about the implications of these legacies for the study of religion, building on Jewish and Christian theological, literary, and philosophical responses to the Holocaust.

Anonymity of Review Process

Proposals are anonymous to Chairs and Steering Committee Members during review, but visible to Chairs prior to final acceptance or rejection.
