The Fifth Enoch Graduate Seminar, chaired by Lorenzo DiTommaso and Gerbern S. Oegema, will be hosted by Concordia University and McGill University in Montreal, Canada, from May 20 to 23, 2014. The two universities are located in the downtown core of the city, about eight blocks from each other under the famous Mount Royal. Ph.D. students and post-doctoral researchers working in all fields of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins are invited to participate and present papers. Papers proposals in English or French (500-1000 words) from all fields of Second Temple Judaism (Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Christian Origins, Jewish-Hellenistic literature, etc.) should be submitted to the Seminar secretary, Dr. Isaac W. Oliver, by December 15, 2013. Completed papers of 6000-10000 words should be submitted by the end of March 2014, to be distributed in advance among the invited Seminar participants. A number of new features will make the Fifth Enoch Graduate Seminar a unique experience. First, the meeting is bilingual, and we expect to have one session of papers composed in French (translators will be on site for the discussions if needed). Second, several invited speakers including Gabriele Boccaccini, James H. Charlesworth, André Gagné, Pierluigi Piovanelli, and Loren Stuckenbruck will deliver plenary lectures on topics of special interest. Third, revised versions of the best papers will be collected and published in the T&T Clark series "Jewish and Christian Texts in Contexts." Finally, a portion of the travel and lodging expenses for Seminar participants will be covered. For further information and application, please contact Dr. Oliver (ioliver@fsmail.bradley.edu).
La cinquième session du Enoch Graduate Seminar, présidée par Lorenzo DiTommaso et Gerbern S. Oegema, aura lieu aux universités Concordia et McGill de Montréal du 20 au 23 mai 2014. Les deux universités se trouvent au centre-ville, proche l’une de l’autre au pied du célèbre Mont Royal. Les doctorants et chercheurs postdoctoraux qui travaillent sur les champs du judaïsme du Second Temple et des origines chrétiennes (littérature apocryphe et pseudépigraphe, manuscrits de la Mer Morte, littérature du christianisme ancien, littérature judéo-hellénistique, etc.) sont invités à participer en présentant un travail de recherche. Les résumés des contributions (500-1000 mots) doivent être soumis au secrétaire Isaac W. Oliver le 15 décembre 2013 au plus tard. Les travaux complets seront distribués aux participants avant la conférence, à la fin du mois de mars 2014. Cette cinquième session du Enoch Graduate Seminar comportera différents aspects inédits. Tout d’abord, le colloque sera bilingue et inclura une session de présentations de travaux en français (des traducteurs seront disponibles sur place si nécessaire). Deuxièmement, plusieurs chercheurs invités, entre autres, Gabriele Boccaccini, James H. Charlesworth, André Gagné, Pierluigi Piovanelli et Loren Stuckenbruck donneront des conférences sur divers thèmes pertinents. Troisièmement, les meilleurs projets de la conférence seront rassemblés et publiés dans la série "Jewish and Christian Texts in Contexts" de T&T Clark. Finalement, une part des dépenses liées au voyage et au logement des participants sera prise en charge par la conférence. Pour plus d’information, contactez Isaac W. Oliver (ioliver@fsmail.bradley.edu).
