SUMMARY:Make or Break the Man: Exploring the Silence Around Disabilities Ac
 quired in War
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: elin.lundell@genus.lu.se\n\nThis presentation is an ov
 erview of my doctoral research project\, which examines an “archival gap
 ” in the texts of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. While many texts deal 
 with war – both its glory and its devastation – there is an absence of
  descriptions/depictions of disabled individuals following warfare. Despit
 e the fact that the survival rates of war injuries were quite good conside
 ring the medical technology available\, the narratives we encounter in the
  Hebrew Bible is that a soldier either dies\, is captured and enslaved\, o
 r returns from battle unscathed. Where are the injured soldiers? Where are
  the disabled soldiers? Looking into this expected but largely absent elem
 ent\, I explore the ideological reasons for its exclusion from the narrati
 ve\, both what it means to be defeated on the battlefield and what it mean
 s to live as a disabled man in civil society. This is contrasted with the 
 view of participation in war as a rite of passage where boys become men\, 
 to show the tension present in the war ideology of the Hebrew Bible and wi
 der Ancient Near Eastern context.John Tallefors (he/him) is a doctoral stu
 dent of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible exegesis at the Centre of Theology and 
 Religious Studies at Lund University. His research project examines the bo
 dy as a site of ideological conflict and construction\, focusing on disabi
 lity and masculinity theories. Tallefors also holds a BA in Gender Studies
  from Lund University\, with his thesis being a comparative study of treat
 ment models for youth perpetrators of sexual violence. Aside from his rese
 arch project\, Tallefors serves as the review editor for the journal Svens
 k Teologisk Kvartalskrift and as a doctoral representative for the Swedish
  Exegetical Society (SES).Accessibility: The room is accessible for wheelc
 hair users (automatic doors\, elevator\, accessible toilet).Contact:&nbsp\
