DESCRIPTION:Vortrag von Neda Mohtashami: A Primordial or an Infite Hell? T
 he Case of a Young Avestan Metaphor\n\nHybride Veranstaltung\n\nEschatolog
 ical ideas in Zoroastrianism are not evenly spread over the three millenni
 a of its emergence and evolution. While later Middle Persian literature ev
 idences a fully developed picture of both individual and collective eschat
 ologies\, the journey of the soul after death receives comparatively littl
 e treatment in the Young Avestan corpus and a minimum\, if any\, in the ol
 dest layer of Zoroastrian literature\, the Gathas. This presentation aims 
 to discuss some of the issues confronting Avestan scholarship regarding th
 e question of eschatology and its development. For this purpose\, the Youn
 g Avestan adjectival phrase anaγra- təmah-\, lit. ‘beginningless darkn
 ess’ is chosen as case study. It will be shown how the problem of transl
 ation imposes confusion in the determination of the target domain\, and th
 e extent to which our understanding of the possible connotation of this te
 rm is influenced by the limited occurrences of the concept of darkness (t
 əmah-) in the Old and Young Avesta.\n\n
