Signifying
(on) Scriptures Series
This publication
series aims to foster multi-field, multi-disciplinary, comparative and
socio-politically engaged thinking, research and writing about
“scriptures”—what they are, why and how they were invented, what we
make them do for us, how they are represented, and what effects they
have (had) in society and culture. Proposals are invited from scholars
of any field, discipline or area of inquiry. Projects should revolve
around issues of interpretation—not of the content-meaning of texts
(narrowly defined), but having to do with how peoples make “texts”
“signify”/“signify on” “scriptures” as vectors for understanding,
establishing, communicating, sometimes undermining, sometimes securing
their identities, positions, agency and power in the world. For the
sake of advancing such a series as reflection of a compelling
social-cultural criticism, special but not exclusive focus is to be
placed upon the experiences, expressions and practices of historically
dominated peoples.
