DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThe workshop is the first part of series which examines
  the notion of texture with regard to its topicality for the research on t
 he dynamics in the history of religions.\nSigns\, scriptures and texts pro
 vide both the material for Religious Studies as well as guiding metaphors 
 which are used to describe general religious contexts. Therefore\, the the
 me ‚signs\, scriptures and texts‘ is not restricted to the so-called R
 eligions of the Book. For analytical reasons we differentiate between thre
 e major elements that are in fact always closely connected in reality. Sig
 ns\, scriptures and texts differ with regard to the degree of complexity r
 espectively communicativity\, scripture providing a texture of signs\, tex
 ts providing a texture of scripts. The texture used as a guiding metaphor 
 as well indicates the contact dimension within religions traditions.\nA si
 gn may be described analytically as the basic element (‚the letter‘) o
 f a texture comprising linguistic and non-linguistic signs. It does not on
 ly include the symbol or the indication of something but also the praxis o
 f indicating and assigning. Therefore\, a sign cannot be understood as a r
 epresentation or a mere carrier of information only\, but has to be interp
 retated with regard to possible action: as a texture of information and pr
 axis. In the workshop we take our pragmatic point of departure from a sign
 ificant sign\, i.e. the character (Schriftzeichen).\nThe main emphasis of 
 the workshop lies on the common work on the concrete material which aims a
 t the elaboration of a theoretical framework that might be used in the for
 ecoming workshops on scripture and texts. There will be two inputs by Beat
 e Hofmann (Bochum) on Egyptian hieroglyphs and Knut Martin Stünkel (Bochu
 m) on the phenomenology of signs.
