DESCRIPTION:I Presentation by Angelina Yeboah Lartey | 04:15 - 05:00 p.m.\
 n«Invisibility in the Face of Visibility: The Trajectory of Ghanaian Wome
 n in Pentecostal/Charismatic Ministerial Leadership»\n\nThe presentation 
 explores emergent thematic codes derived from qualitative interviews with 
 women leaders within Ghana’s Pentecostal/Charismatic movement\, as part 
 of a broader doctoral study examining their ministerial trajectories. Draw
 ing from grounded theory's initial and focused coding methods\, some theme
 s have emerged with significant analytic weight. Rather than treating thes
 e as peripheral codes\, I argue for their development into full-fledged to
 pics\, given their deep entanglement with gendered power dynamics\, social
  recognition and invisibility\, socio-cultural expectations\, and religiou
 s legitimacy. These themes are not only recurrent across narratives but al
 so represent critical axes through which women navigate and negotiate auth
 ority in male-dominated ecclesial spaces. The presentation will outline th
 e coding process\, thematic significance\, and scholarly relevance of trea
 ting such codes as standalone analytic categories\, drawing on both field 
 data and relevant feminist and Pentecostal studies literature.\n\n\nII Pre
 sentation by Or Rubin | 5:00 - 5:45 p.m.\n«The Nature of Time and Space i
 n Ninth-Century Pahlavi Literature»\n\nThe concepts of time and space hav
 e an immense meaning in the Zoroastrian Cosmo-Eschatological scheme as it 
 is presented to us in the ninth-century Pahlavi literature. While it is ag
 reed that both concepts are essential for our understanding of the Zoroast
 rian view of the cosmos\, trying to grasp the whole meaning of time and sp
 ace raises some problems. One of the main difficulties is the fact that th
 e same terms are used in two distinct genres\, one with a more philosophic
 al approach to knowledge\, Denkard III\, and another with a more mythical 
 narrative approach\, the Greater Bundahisn. I would like to suggest a solu
 tion to this problem. I argue that to understand the use of time and space
  within the different genres\, we need to understand the particular form t
 hat time and space have in ninth-century Pahlavi literature. This task can
  be achieved by understanding philosophical and mythical not as literary g
 enres\, but as modes of thinking\, as Ernst Cassirer proposed. In addition
 \, the particular meaning of the concepts\, which in both genres is descri
 bed metaphorically\, can be dissected from the text and analysed with the 
 aid of conceptual metaphor theory. Thus\, I would like to present how the 
 concepts of time and space can be elucidated by understanding the philosop
 hical and mythical conflux of intellectual modes of thinking that can be f
 ound in ninth-century literature.
