Critical Approaches to Hip-Hop and Religion Unit and Tillich: Issues in Theology, Religion, and Culture Unit

Call for Proposals

Tillichian Cartographies and Hip-Hop Aesthetics 

The Tillich: Issues in Theology, Religion, and Culture and the Critical Approaches to Hip-Hop and Religion Unit seeks paper proposals for a cosponsored panel on the contemporary cultural and artistic scene's disclosure of intersections between Paul Tillich and religious sensibilities expressed within Hip-hop. The music of Kendrick Lamar would be a case in point. We invite papers exploring new cartographies in Tillichian thought that center a scholarly use of Hip-hop as a cultural resource for thinking and rethinking through Tillichian theological and methodological approaches in the study of religion. We are especially interested in papers that address the following issues: Hip-hop, culture, and correlation; theology of culture and embodiment; theology and aesthetics; complex subjectivity, estrangement, and the “New Being”; Christian existentialism and the Black radical tradition; racial narcissism and Black existentialism.
