Apologies for cross-listing.
Call for submissions for a special issue of the Journal of Medieval and
Early Modern Studies on "Body, Spirit, Matter." Abstracts must be received
by 1 July. Final drafts will be expected by September, 1997, for
publication in 1998.
This special issue of JMEMS will explore the interconnections, antipathies
and correspondences of body, spirit and matter in religion, medicine and
social practice. Historical assessments of all aspects of the cultural of
Christian, Jewish and Islamic communities would be welcomed. Articles may
address issues such as alchemy, hylomorphism, witchcraft, sacramentality,
death, or any other theme which provides an opportunity for rethinking the
relations between body, spirit and matter in the medieval and early modern
periods.
