DESCRIPTION:Embedding Religions: Converting Figures and Conversion Stories
 \nPanelleitung: Carmen Meinert (CERES)\nThe panel presents the ongoing wor
 k of the interdisciplinary group “Buddhism in Motion” on conversion na
 rratives. Stories about the conversion of communities are understood as an
 alytical instruments to investigate ways of ‘making sense’ of the intr
 oduction of a religion in a specific region. The objective of the papers p
 resented at this panel is twofold: an investigation of the object-language
  level and one of the meta-language level.\nFirstly\, papers aim at charac
 terising the  dialectics of conversion accounts with respect to:\n\nagent(
 s) of  conversion and the strategies implemented\, \njustification of the 
  propagation of the religious faith\, \ndescription of the converted  othe
 r and \nrepercussions of the conversion. \n\nAs  narrated reconstructions 
 of the past\, conversion stories are not merely  an expression of the agen
 da of a religious community but also of  dynamics which go beyond the reli
 gious field. It is these underlying  strings that the group seeks to unrav
 el as a second step.\nMit: Stephen Eskildsen (ehem. KHK fellow)\, Lisa Wev
