Second Announcement
DEFINING IDENTITIES: WHO IS THE OTHER? WE, YOU, AND THE OTHERS IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR QUMRAN STUDIES FIFTH MEETING, GRONINGEN NLThe topic of "We, You, and the Others" is intended to explore issues of self-definition of Jewish groups in relation to, or in reaction towards other groups within Judaism ("sectarian" identity, inner-Jewish discourses and polemics), but also to inquire into the development of Jewish identity vis-?-vis other non-Jewish persons, groups or peoples as reflected in the Scrolls. Hopefully, research on this topic will allow us to get a better understanding of the group or groups behind several compositions preserved in the Qumran collection.
Date
The Fifth IOQS meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2004 International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in Groningen.
