Religion, Literature, and the Arts 2013
Sacrifice and the Terror of the Good
Sacrifice and the Terror of the Good
Sept 26-28, 2013
The 2013 Religion, Literature and the
Arts conference at the University of Iowa will focus on the relationship of
sacrifice to the terror of the Good. To this end, we will incorporates papers highlighting
individual components of this theme, defining any of the key terms, and/or
framing ways of conceptualizing how these terms relate. Rather than immediately
accepting the appeal of the Good and our desire for finding ourselves in line
with it, the conference will pause to reflect on the terrifying and terrible
aspect of the Good and particularly on how it influences our desire to
sacrifice what is dear—for good and for ill.
The complete CFP is available now at http://www.uiowa.edu/~rels-rla/2013/Call_for_Papers.html
Proposals are now being accepted. The call closes May 20, 2013. For more information or to submit a proposal, please email us at religion-rla@uiowa.edu.
