Representing Jerusalem in World Literature and Art: Sacred Space and Sacred History - Call for Book Chapters

updated: 
Tuesday, November 28, 2023 - 12:17pm
Harvard University
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, December 15, 2023

Jerusalem is the most sacred space in the world uniting mainstream religious traditions and representing various cultures and ethnicities; this city is the holiest for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Holy Jerusalem Itself is also a hierotopic place, presenting a spatial icon associated with God’s presence and the sacredness of history. Human history is not only the history of constant wars. It is the history of creation and ongoing spiritual work. Central to the Old and New Testaments, the Hebrew Bible emphasizes the Jewish sacred connection with the city. This holy space is also a cradle of Christianity. In this edited volume, Jerusalem and its representations will be explored through the lens of world literature, art, and films.

Cather and the Readerly Imagination

In her own time as in ours, Willa Cather’s books created vibrant and varied communities of readers. Cather’s literary works detail numerous acts of reading, and she herself was an avid reader with an acute awareness of the reading public. The 69th Annual Willa Cather Spring Conference seeks to celebrate and explore both the act of reading Cather and the presence of reading and readers within Cather’s fiction and letters. 

The directors invite papers on a variety of topics related to Cather, readers, and reading, including but not limited to the following areas.

 

  • Representations of readers and reading in Cather’s novels and short stories
