Theme: Cultural Production of “the Body” in Jeremiah
Key discursive moments in Jeremiah narrate the "body" of Judah and the "body" of the prophet Jeremiah. This panel seeks to theorize ways in which ancient and contemporary cultural production of "the body" (Jeremiah's, Judah's) inscribes relations of power and vulnerability. Interdisciplinary investigations of embodiment are encouraged.
