DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag in englischer Sprache von Gerrit Lange (Philipps-U
 niversität Marburg)\n\nIn the Indian Central Himalayas\, several metaphor
 s are employed to conceptualize śakti\, the "force" or (emotional) intens
 ity of divine presence. When Naiṇī Mātā\, a village goddess of Pindar
  valley\, travels through the region for six months\, she takes the form o
 f a clothed bamboo pole - her niśān ("token") which is believed to be th
 e goddess herself\, and to be moved by her śakti. One among several forms
  in which this śakti emerges is ākarśaṇ\, an "attraction"\, "magnetis
 m" or "urge" hindering her carriers to carry her along and leave behind a 
 village to which the Goddess is said to feel emotional attachment. Both me
 chanical and emotional\, this "attracting force" oscillates between metaph
 or (the "magnetism" or "attraction" of love) and metonymy (an actual force
  which can be countered by the paraphysical mechanisms of mantras\, drum p
 atterns and songs used to make her move). Insofar these metaphors remain u
 nspoken\, can we speak of "nonverbal" metaphors? And is film editing\, its
 elf involving the nonverbal metaphors of montage\, an adequate means to an
 alyse such metaphors?\n\nDer Gastvortrag ist hochschulöffentlich und find
 et online statt. Um die Einwahldaten zu erhalten\, bitte ceres-coordinatio
