DESCRIPTION:Den ganzen Subkontinent umspannt ein Netzwerk von Orten\, die 
 als Schauplätze mythischer Ereignisse und als Heimstätten von Hindu-Gott
 heiten gelten. Im Zentralhimalaya ist dieses Netz besonders fein gesponnen
 : Jedes Tal und jedes Dorf hat sein eigenes Ensemble an Gottheiten. Manche
  von ihnen gehen auf Reisen\, um ihre menschlichen Verwandten zu besuchen 
 und sich die Herrschaft über ihr Territorium zu sichern. Durch die religi
 öse Praxis bekommt eine Gegend Gestalt: Nicht nur als „Mind-Map“ im k
 ognitiven Sinne\, sondern auch durch körperliche\, sinnliche und emotiona
 le Erfahrung.\n\nDer Vortrag findet im Rahmen der mit der VHS-Bochum veran
 stalteten Vortragsreihe "Religionen von Aha bis Zen" in deren Räumlichkei
 ten in der Innenstadt (Gustav-Heinemann-Platz 2-6\, 44787 Bochum\, https:/
 /maps.app.goo.gl/hNGNrHhe7fQ1Khk17) statt. Die Teilnahme ist kostenfrei. A
 us organisatorischen Gründen wird aber um eine Anmeldung über die Websit
 e der VHS gebeten. (Der Link hierzu folgt\, sobald das Vorlesungsverzeichn
 is für das Wintersemester 2026 vorliegt)

DESCRIPTION:Religiöse Influencer erreichen auf Instagram\, TikTok und You
 Tube Millionen Menschen – mit Gebeten und Alltagstipps\, aber auch mit z
 ugespitzten politischen und moralischen Aussagen. Damit bieten sie nicht n
 ur Orientierung für Menschen auf Sinnsuche\, sondern nehmen auch Einfluss
  auf gesellschaftliche Debatten. Doch ersetzt das Scrollen eigentlich den 
 Kirchen- oder Moscheebesuch und glauben junge Menschen Influencern mehr al
 s Priestern und Rabbis? Verändert die Vielfalt an Beiträgen\, die Gläub
 ige online zu sehen bekommen\, ihre Religiosität? Und warum scheinen pola
 risierende Stimmen dabei oft viel präsenter als moderate? Der Vortrag wid
 met sich diesen und anderen Fragen und stellt dabei religionswissenschaftl
 iche Forschungsergebnisse verständlich vor.\n\nDer Vortrag findet im Rahm
 en der mit der VHS-Bochum veranstalteten Vortragsreihe "Religionen von Aha
  bis Zen" in deren Räumlichkeiten in der Innenstadt (Gustav-Heinemann-Pla
 tz 2-6\, 44787 Bochum\, https://maps.app.goo.gl/hNGNrHhe7fQ1Khk17) statt. 
 Die Teilnahme ist kostenfrei. Aus organisatorischen Gründen wird aber um

SUMMARY:When the Devil Roasts Snakes on Your Heart: Religious Morality and

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Veronika Jávor-Szelid\, Assistant Professor 
 at the Department of American Studies at the Eötvös Loránd University 
 Budapest\n\nANGER is a core human emotion that plays an important role in 
 social interaction and moral evaluation. Research in Cognitive Linguistics
  has shown that emotions are conceptualized through systematic patterns of
  metaphor and metonymy grounded in bodily experience and culturally shared
  knowledge. Integrating perspectives from Cognitive Linguistics and Cultur
 al Linguistics\, the study examines the moral and religious dimensions of 
 ANGER across languages. The analysis draws on a large-scale comparative st
 udy of metaphors and metonymies of ANGER in 25 languages from 11 language 
 families (Kövecses\, Benczes\, and Szelid\, 2025)\, combining lexical and
  corpus-based data. The results show that religious and moral interpretati
 ons of ANGER vary considerably across cultures. \n\nIn some traditions\, 
 ANGER is conceptualized as an evil force\, sin\, or demonic possession\, w
 hereas in others such framings are absent or marginal. Alongside these neg
 ative evaluations\, some traditions construe ANGER as divine or morally sa
 nctioned wrath\, associated with justice and moral authority\, highlightin
 g the role of culturally available conceptual resources in shaping emotion
 al meaning.\n\n

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Four times a year\, the Museum Fünf Kontinente in Munich host
 s lectures that address key topics in ethnology and museology. The lecture
  series is named after the Indologist and museum director Lucian Scherman 
 (1864–1946)\, who shaped the institution from 1907 to 1933 before being 
 forced out of office due to his Jewish heritage following the National Soc
 ialists’ rise to power. Since 2012\, the Lucian Scherman Lectures have h
 onored the man whose research and collections—particularly those on Sout
 h Asia—laid the foundation for the museum’s current holdings. The Muse
 um Fünf Kontinente invites Dr. Patrick Felix Krüger to this year’s Luc
 ian Scherman Lecture. \n\nCan religions be exhibited—and if so\, how? S
 tarting from this question\, the lecture *Exhibiting Religion(s) at the In
 tersection of Cult\, Art\, and Museum* explores the complex relationship b
 etween museums and religion. In an era of declining religious affiliation\
 , churches are increasingly transforming into “museum-like” spaces\, w
 hile museums are staging exhibitions with a sacred atmosphere. These dynam
 ics are also evident in the context of Hinduism and Buddhism: religious ob
 jects are often removed from their ritual contexts in museums and presente
 d as works of art\, while temples simultaneously adopt museum-style presen
 tation methods. At the same time\, boundaries blur as museums permit relig
 ious practices and religious sites adapt exhibition logic.\n\nUsing select
 ed examples—particularly from the Indian context—the lecture discusses
  the possibilities and limitations of representing religion(s) through obj
 ects\, images\, and spaces\, as well as the diverse meanings of religious 
 artifacts between spiritual practice and museum interpretation.\n\nThe lec
 ture will be broadcast live. Online participation in the event is possible
  without registration via the museum’s YouTube channel.\n\nVenue:\nMuseu

 gue Gerrit Lange will be visiting Ghent: As part of the lecture series “
 More-than-human South Asia: Ecologies\, Knowledge\, Bodies\, and Senses\,
 ” he will present the latest insights from his research.\n\nHis lecture\
 , “A Family Meeting with Nagini Mata: Establishing Relations with the Se

 ses on non-human beings in the Hinduism of the Central Himalayas—includi
 ng trees\, rivers\, and serpent goddesses. Even seemingly insignificant ac
 tors such as cherry trees\, a mysterious grass\, and even the underworld m
 ake an appearance. Gerrit combines ethnographic perspectives with approach
 es from the aesthetics of religion as well as recent theories of animism.\
 n\nThus\, animism—in the sense of Graham Harvey\, for example—is no lo
 nger understood as a “primitive religion\,” but rather as a way of lif
 e in a world full of persons\, only some of whom are human.\n\nAll lecture

DESCRIPTION:Pilgern und Wallfahrt gehören zu den ältesten und zugleich d
 ynamischsten religiösen Praktiken des südasiatischen Raums. Bis heute zi
 ehen die großen Pilgerorte Hunderttausende oder sogar Millionen von Mensc
 hen an. Doch was macht die Anziehungskraft des Pilgerns in Südasien aus u
 nd wie entstehen überregional und international bedeutende Pilgerstätten
 ?\n\nAm Freitag\, 13. März 2026 spricht Dr. Patrick Krüger an der Akadem
 ie Völker und Kulturen in Sankt Augustin über Pilgern und Wallfahrt im i
 ndischen Raum. Der Vortrag beleuchtet Formen\, Bedeutungen und historisch
 e Entwicklungen religiöser Pilgerreisen auf dem indischen Subkontinent\; 
 besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den buddhistischen und jainistischen Tradit
 ionen.\n\nOb zentrale heilige Orte des Buddhismus wie Bodh Gaya – der Or
 t der Erleuchtung des Gautama Buddha – oder der bedeutende jainistische 
 Pilgerberg Shatrunjaya in Palitana - das Pilgern zu solchen Stätten präg
 t religiöse Erinnerung\, Raumkonzepte und Gemeinschaftsbildung. Der Vortr
 ag untersucht diese Prozesse unter Berücksichtigung klassischer Textquell
 en\, archäologischer und ethnographischer Perspektiven. Besonderes Augenm
 erk gilt den unterschiedlichen religiösen Bedeutungen des Pilgerns: Währ
 end im Buddhismus Orte des Lebens des Buddha eine zentrale Rolle spielen\,
  strukturieren im Jainismus heilige Berge und Tempelstädte die religiöse
  Landschaft. Gleichzeitig zeigen beide Traditionen\, wie Pilgerpraktiken 
 über Jahrhunderte hinweg bis in die Gegenwart Netzwerke\, Mobilität und 
 religiöse Identität geformt haben.\n\nDer Vortrag bietet damit einen ver
 gleichenden Einblick in Pilgertraditionen des südasiatischen Religionsrau
 ms und diskutiert\, wie religiöse Orte\, Rituale und Bewegungen im Buddhi
 smus und Jainismus miteinander verflochten sind.\n\nMehr Infos dazu unter:

DESCRIPTION:The project “Arcs of Time: Zoroastrian Philosophical Anthrop
 ology’ (AOT) has two goals: the first is to critically analyze how Zoroa
 strian thinkers theorized human psychophysical composition and its relatio
 n to human history\, and the second is to integrate scholars working on Zo
 roastrian Middle Persian literature and scholars working on Arabic literat
 ure\, since these Zoroastrians writing in Middle Persian were contemporari
 es with many well-known authors writing in Arabic. The “Seeing the Light
 ” workshop is designed to achieve the second goal. Participants are invi
 ted to explore the manifold ways Zoroastrians intersect with the wider Isl
 amic world. This includes the critical inheritance of Greek and Avestan th
 ought\; the ways the Sasanian state was remembered by Zoroastrians and Mus
 lims\, Persians and Arabs\; and also the ways local communities interacted
  apart from the central seats of power. We hope to foster dialogue on the 
 historical setting\, the philosophical issues\, the concrete debates\, and
  the sociopolitical structures beneath the texts.\n\nDownload the Workshop

DESCRIPTION:Engaging the Secular: Conceptions of the Future in Modern Chin
 ese Buddhism (Ming-Feng Wu)\n\nThis study explores how modern Chinese Budd
 hism crafted its vision of the future in the early twentieth century by re
 imagining the secular realm. Instead of viewing the secular as a fixed ent
 ity to be accepted or rejected\, the Chinese Buddhist community redefined 
 its significance through its engagement with the “mundane world.” The 
 research examines three concurrent dimensions of this redefinition: first\
 , the transformation of the mundane realm from a place of suffering into a
  space of potential liberation and meaning\; second\, Chinese Buddhist ref
 lections on the First World War\, which reshaped their understanding of Bu
 ddhism’s worldly role\; and third\, the emergence of social movements an
 d transnational networks that embodied these evolving interpretations. To
 gether\, these dimensions reveal that Chinese Buddhism’s vision of the f
 uture arose from actively redefining the secular's boundaries and meanings
 \, positioning it as the foundation for Buddhist fulfillment and shaping a
  distinctive vision of the future.

DESCRIPTION:A degree in religious studies opens up a wide range of career 
 paths—but what do these look like in concrete terms\, especially in the 
 field of research? Students and graduates are cordially invited to this ev
 ent to take a differentiated look at career prospects within university re
 search and at research-related activities outside of academia.\n\nThis eve
 nt is the third in the series “Religious Studies & Career Prospects\,”
  which has met with great interest in previous semesters. Once again\, int
 ernal and external guests with degrees in religious studies will provide i
 nsights into their individual career paths in the field of research and re
 port on institutional framework conditions\, key requirements\, and necess
 ary skills. Afterwards\, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and
  engage in conversation.\n\nThe series of events is aimed at Bachelor's an
 d Master's students in all semesters as well as interested graduates. In a
 ddition to providing inspiration in terms of content\, the event expressly
  offers opportunities for personal exchange and networking.

DESCRIPTION:PhD Defence by Floriana Marra. \n\nIranian Manichaean and Zor
 oastrian Cosmos in Inter-Religious Discourse. Formation\, Development\, an
 d Exchange\n\nThe present thesis undertakes a study of the development of 
 cosmogonical and cosmological narratives in late ancient Manichaean and Zo
 roastrian texts. These are considered to be the result of a development ro
 oted in the same Iranian background\, and occurring during the Mesopotamia
  of the 3rd century CE. Regional specialities of Iranian Manichaeism are a
 nalysed\, and the process by which different systems of belief and knowled
 ge that came into contact and coexisted with Manichaeism were acculturated
  within Manichaeism itself is investigated. Comparing the cosmogonical and
  cosmological knowledge of the two Iranian religions\, the analysis points
  out their shared reference points in the Avesta and older Iranian traditi
 ons in general\;  both Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism subsequently develo
 ped these sets of ancient ideas (religious in the strict sense and non-rel
 igious) further\, and put them into coherent\, contemporary belief systems
 \, at the same time influencing each other. The present thesis deals with 
 the study of Manichaean cosmology and cosmogony as presented in the Manich
 aean fragments written in Middle Iranian languages (Middle Persian\, Parth
 ian\, and Sogdian). \n\nContrasting with previous studies\, whose attentio
 n was mainly placed on collecting all the preserved material pertaining to
  the topic\, the present thesis aims to address them in the context of a 
 “bigger picture”\, analysing the Manichaean Iranian tradition\, and co
 mparing it with the Zoroastrian Middle Persian cosmogonical and cosmologic
 al literature\, mainly Bundahišn (‘Primal Creation’) in its both reda
 ctions\, Smaller and Greater\, and the Anthology of Zādspram (Wizīdagīh
 ā ī zādspram).

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Dr. Fabian Horn (LMU Munich)\n\nIn cognitive 
 linguistic metaphor theory\, the traditional trope of metaphor was reexami
 ned and its scope has been expanded considerably. Thus it has been argued 
 that metaphor is not merely a form of stylistic embellishment\, but a proc
 ess of cognition by which we think\, speak\, and make sense of our environ
 ment\, especially when it comes to abstract\, difficult\, or otherwise ina
 ccessible concepts. One such difficult concept is the idea of death\, whic
 h has been demonstrated to be frequently and predominantly conceptualized 
 metaphorically.\nAfter some introductory remarks on conceptual metaphor th
 eory\, I will present examples of the copious metaphorical language of dea
 th in Early Greek epic poetry\, particularly drawn from the Homeric poems\
 , our earliest extant works of Ancient Greek literature. In a second step\
 , I will consider the relationship between metaphor and mythology and argu
 e that many Greek mythological ideas about death and the realm of the dead
  seem to be metaphorically motivated.

DESCRIPTION:Die Ausstellung „Missionssammlungen ausgepackt“ widmet sic
 h einer lange unbeachteten Sammlungspraxis: dem Sammeln von Objekten durch
  katholische und evangelische Missionsgemeinschaften – vor allem im 19. 
 und frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Im Zentrum stehen Objekte\, die aus weiten Te
 ilen der Welt nach Nordrhein-Westfalen gelangten. Heute befinden sie sich 
 in Einrichtungen der missionierenden Gemeinschaften\, teilweise auch in Mu
 seen in öffentlicher Trägerschaft oder Universitätssammlungen.\n\nWas e
 rzählen diese Objekte über die kolonialen Machtverhältnisse\, in denen 
 sie gesammelt wurden? Welche Rolle spielten Missionar*innen in der Erfassu
 ng\, Klassifizierung und Weitergabe materieller Kultur? Und was bedeutet d
 as für den Umgang mit diesen Sammlungen? Anhand von Exponaten aus verschi
 edenen evangelischen und katholischen Sammlungen aus NRW wird die Vielfalt
  dieser Bestände sichtbar. Ziel der Ausstellung ist es\, mehr Öffentlich
 keit und Transparenz für das Thema zu schaffen – und auch auf Leerstell
 en in der bisherigen Aufarbeitung aufmerksam zu machen.\n\nDie Ausstellung
  entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Centrum für Religionswissenschaftlich
 e Studien (CERES) der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Sie möchte zur kritischen
  Auseinandersetzung mit Missionssammlungen beitragen – und zu mehr Sicht

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Dr Ulrike Steinert (JGU Mainz)\n\nCuneiform t
 exts written in Akkadian\, one of the oldest known Semitic languages\, use
  different linguistic constructions to describe emotional experiences in w
 ays that reflect underlying conceptual structures and metaphors. Akkadian 
 emotion expressions attribute to experiencers varying degrees of control o
 r agency over their body and self. Descriptions of emotional episodes can 
 range from active performance to total loss of control. In the latter case
 \, emotions are often constructed as agents or forces that can at times as
 sume the status of a personified or superhuman power. \nRelated to this c
 onceptualization is the culturally salient idea of divine or demonic agenc
 y as a force that can cause a range of changes in a human person’s state
  of being. Affliction by deities or demons connected to a loss of agency o
 r control in the afflicted person can manifest in various forms of illness
 \, altered states of consciousness and in overwhelming emotional experienc
 es. The boundaries between these conceptual domains are thus fuzzy\, which
  is reflected in comparable expressions: superhuman agents\, diseases and 
 emotions are equally said to “seize” or “overwhelm” a person. More
 over\, emotional experiences are sometimes likened to altered states of co
 nsciousness\, for example\, when a person overwhelmed by emotion is compar
 ed to a raving ecstatic who is under the control of a deity.\nThe talk pre
 sents an overview of different metaphors\, modes of description and the co
 nceptualization of agency and control in emotional experiences and related
  states of being\, through the discussion of selected Akkadian cuneiform s
 ources from the second and first millennium BCE.

DESCRIPTION:In this colloquium\, two doctoral researchers will provide ins
 ights into their ongoing dissertation projects.\n\nThe Cosmology of Animal
  Sacrifice in Ancient India and Iran (Elia Weber)\n\nVedic ritual practice
  has been described as a re-enactment of mythological actions first perfor
 med by divine beings. A famous example is constituted by the myth of the c
 reation of the world through the primordial human sacrifice\, which the Ve
 dic tradition ultimately regards as the origin of the animal sacrifice. S
 imilar ideas have been applied to the difficult-to-reconstruct mythology o
 f the Avesta and its implication for the rituals performed in the Avestan 
 language\, above all by representatives of the so-called “ritual school
 ” in Avestan studies. Amir Ahmadi\, on the other hand\, has recently arg
 ued against the notion of a cosmogonic sacrifice for the ancient Zoroastri
 an religion. He doubts that the Avesta provides direct evidence for this h
 ypothesis\, and points out the scarcity of supporting data in the Middle P
 ersian corpus. Against the backdrop of these two alternative hypotheses\, 
 the presentation will review the available Middle Persian evidence for ani
 mal sacrifice as a cosmogonic ritual\, and seek to answer the question whe
 ther a picture similar to the one given by the Indian sources emerges from
  the Avestan mythology of the cow.\n\nMaterielle Dimension des Kultur- und
  Religionskontaktes am Bespiel der Sammlung der Afrikamissionare (Belinda 
 Peters) [held in German]\n\nIn vielen Niederlassungen christlicher mission
 ierender Gemeinschaften in Europa finden sich Missionssammlungen. Die Obje
 kte dieser Sammlungen werden seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts von Missionar
 :innen in den sogenannten „Missionsgebieten“ zusammengetragen und nach
  Europa geschickt. Dort werden sie von den Missionsgesellschaften für mis
 sionarische Zwecke genutzt. Die Afrikamissionare (Weiße Väter) sind eine
  katholische missionierende Gemeinschaft\, deren Mitglieder ebenfalls Obje
 kte in den jeweiligen Einsatzgebieten gesammelt haben. Für nahezu alle (e
 hemaligen) Niederlassungen der Afrikamissionare in Deutschland ist eine Sa
 mmlung nachweisbar. \nGegenstand der hier vorgestellten Forschung sind di
 e Missionssammlungen der inzwischen aufgelösten Niederlassungen der Afrik
 amissionare in Köln und München\, die dem CERES für wissenschaftliche F
 orschung überlassen wurden. Diese werden unter der Fragestellung erforsch
 t\, was sie über den Kontakt zwischen den Afrikamissionaren und den lokal
 en religiösen Traditionen aussagen. Materialität und Kontakt sind damit 
 zwei zentrale Aspekte der Forschung. Der Beitrag bei diesem Kolloquium ber
 ichtet über work in progress\, konkret die Überlegungen\, wie der Kontak
 t-Begriff auf das Forschungsmaterial angewandt werden soll.

DESCRIPTION:Masterclass with Camilla Di Biase-Dyson (Macquarie University\
 , Sydney)\n\nAbstract\nThis lecture examines the cognitive processes that 
 may play a role in understanding ancient Egyptian ‘tomb models’\, whic
 h are miniature scenes made of plastered wood that portray scenes of food 
 preparation\, weaving\, boating and other activities. The proposed approac
 h draws on semiotics\, figurative (i.e.\, metaphorical and metonymic) thin
 king and communication theory\, taking into account the priorities of both
  the theoretical sender/artist and the theoretical receiver/viewer. In thi
 s way\, we can embed the discussion about the production and use of models
  in a more precise theoretical and methodological framework and gain new i
 nsights into the communicative power of these objects. \n\nFormat and pro
 cedure\nThe 90-minute masterclass consists of an initial input lecture fol
 lowed by an interactive section with guided discussion. As preparation\, p
 articipants are asked to read the following text: Di Biase-Dyson C. Buildi

  and their presentation are silent witnesses of multi-faceted contact betw
 een missionaries and local societies – in positive and negative ways. To
  make them speak and tell their histories is one goal of an exhibition in 
 the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum in Cologne that presents these collections 
 and their stories (October 2nd\, 2025\, to February 8th\, 2026). The Missi
 emuseum Steyl is one of the partners of this exhibition and a few of their
  objects are on display in Cologne. We take this opportunity to present th
 e exhibition’s topic in Steyl. Experts from the Missiemuseum Steyl and R
 uhr-University Bochum will introduce the exhibition’s general topic\, an
 d then guide visitors to a few selected objects whose biographies illustra
 te the idea of “missionary museums as contact zones.”\n\nFree admissio

 ns (16th-19th c.)\n\nGuest Lecture by Céline Redard\, Lecturer (Maître 
 de conférences) for the Institute of History of Religions at the Universi
 ty of Strasbourg.\n\nThe ritual actions accompanying the recitation durin
 g the performance of the long liturgy have been transmitted in the written
  tradition and have also been preserved in the living performance. In the 
 Indian tradition\, ritual directions in Gujarati language are found in lit
 urgical manuscripts dating back to the 16th century\, have continued into 
 the early printed editions of the 19th century\, and are part of the prese
 nt priestly training manual.\n\nBy comparing the ritual directions of sele
 cted passages in the oldest Indian Yasna Sade manuscripts (mss. 100_B3\, 1
 10_K11\, 234_G26b ) with printed editions and the current practice\, this 
 talk discusses the transmission history of the ritual directions in the In
 dian liturgical tradition. Moreover\, a comparison with the Iranian practi
 ce will highlight some differences between the two ritual traditions.

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Prof. Dr. Anja Becker (University of Bremen)\
 n\nMitte des 12. Jahrhunderts verfasst eine Frau einen Erzählzyklus\, der
  sich um das Leben Jesu gruppiert und dieses heilsgeschichtlich perspektiv
 iert. Eine zentrale Position innerhalb dieses erstaunlich eigenständigen 
 Werks nimmt der Heilige Geist ein\, dessen Herabkunft die Dichterin Ava eb
 enso ausführlich beschreibt wie sie dessen sieben Gaben detailliert spiri
 tuell-theologisch deutet. Unter Rückgriff auf neuere Metapherntheorien so
 ll zunächst nachgezeichnet werden\, dass die (literarische) Rede vom und 
 zum Heiligen Geist auf einem überschaubaren Kern kognitiver Leitmetaphern
  basiert\, die fast alle in den biblischen Texten wurzeln. Dann soll gezei
 gt werden\, wie Ava diese traditionellen Metaphern in ihrem Werk intention
 al wiedergebraucht und wie sie deren Potentiale für ihre poetisch-argumen
 tative Strategie nutzt. Mittels des produktionsästhetischen Verfahrens de
 r Remetaphorisierung erzeugt Ava ein distinktes kognitives Konzept des Hei
 ligen Geistes\, eröffnet vielfältige Sinnebenen und vermittelt eine klar
 e Botschaft an ihre Rezipierende

DESCRIPTION:Was hat Religion mit der Verkehrswende zu tun? In dieser inter
 disziplinären Veranstaltung im Rahmen der Berlin Science Week 2025 treffe
 n Mobilitäts- und Religionsforschung aufeinander. Gemeinsam erkunden wir\
 , wie Mobilität kulturell\, religiös und gesellschaftlich geprägt ist 
 – jenseits technischer Lösungen.\n\nZwischen Alltag\, Politik und Glaub
 enssätzen diskutieren wir\, wie Mobilität in verschiedenen religiösen T
 raditionen betrachtet wird. Kommt man mit dem Auto in den Himmel? Zugleich
  stellen wir die Frage\, inwieweit der Diskurs um die Verkehrswende in qua
 si-religiösen Dogmen verhaftet ist und welche religiösen Metaphern ihn p
 rägen – vom Fahrradjünger bis zum Verkehrsapostel. \n\nWelche Perspek
 tiven eröffnen sich\, wenn wir Mobilität neu denken: nachhaltig\, sinner
 füllt und offen für Vielfalt? Was kann man dabei von Religionen lernen u
 nd wo stehen sie dem Wandel entgegen?\n\nDie gemeinsam von CERES\, SFB 147

 : Auf der Überholspur zur Erlösung? Mobilität und Fortbewegung in Lehre
  und Praxis südasiatischer Religionen\n			Dr. Patrick Krüger\, Centrum f
 ür Religionswissenschaftliche Studien\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum\n			In d
 en südasiatischen Religionen Hinduismus\, Jainismus und Buddhismus ist Mo
 bilität ein großes  Thema. Götter bewegen sich in fliegenden Palästen
  oder auf ihnen zugeordneten Reittieren\, aber auch Asketen und buddhistis
 che Mönche streben nach übermenschlichen Fähigkeiten\, die es ihnen bei
 spielsweise erlauben\, zu fliegen. Jainistische Mönche und Nonnen bewegen
  sich hingegen nur zu Fuß\, da ihre Lehre die Nutzung von Fahrzeugen jegl
 icher Art untersagt.\n			\n		\n		\n			17:30\n			\n			Impuls: Transformatio
 n der Stadt: Verkehrswende als kultureller Wandel\n			Dr. Christoph Golbec
 k\, Mobilitätshaus GmbH \n			It‘s the Mindset\, Stupid! Gatekeeper auf
  dem Weg in Richtung Verkehrswende sind weder Reichweitenangst noch fehlen
 der Wetterschutz. Unser innerer Schweinehund verstellt den Weg zu neuen Mo
 bilitätskulturen. Die Verkehrswende sieht sich mit Paradigmen konfrontier
 t\, die nur mit religiösen Glaubenssätzen vergleichbar sind. Die Widersp
 rüche dieser können auch dort aufgelöst werden\, wo sie entstehen – i
 m Autohaus. Verkehrswende als kultureller Wandel ist auf die Weiterentwick
 lung von Kfz-Werkstätten zu assoziativen Transformationsagenturen angewie
 sen. \n			\n		\n		\n			17:45\n			\n			Impuls: Bildung als Schlüssel für
  Veränderung: über die Plakatausstellung ‚Grüne Religion?! Klima\, Um
 welt und Natur in den Religionen‘ (on-site und online)\n			Anja Lüpken\
 , Wissenschaftlerin am Institut für Religionswissenschaft\, Universität 
 Münster und Dr. Judith Stander-Dulisch\, Klimakommune Saerbeck\n			Nachha
 ltige Entwicklung ist abhängig von verschiedenen Faktoren: technische Lö
 sungen\, politische Leitlinien und gesellschaftliche Transformation. Infor
 mation und Bildung sind Schlüssel für Veränderungen wie die Verkehrswen
 de. Das Projekt ‚Grüne Religion?!‘ ist ein Beitrag zur Bildung für n
 achhaltige Entwicklung (BNE). Es stellt Beispiele aus den Religionen vor: 
 von der Schöpfungsbewahrung in Judentum\, Christentum und Islam über Tra
 ditionelles Ökologisches Wissen indigener Gruppen bis hin zur Naturspirit
 ualität. Die Themen geben Informationen und Möglichkeiten für Reflexion
 \, z. B. über die Verantwortung des Menschen gegenüber der Natur. Die Pl
 akatausstellung wurde mit Studierenden der Religionswissenschaft entwickel
 t und 2023 in der Klimakommune Saerbeck sowie 2024 in Münster gezeigt. Er

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Prof. Dr. Stefan Hartmann (HHU Düsseldorf)\n
 \nThis talk introduces the project "Mocking Metaphor: The construal of tra
 nscendence in parody religions"\, which is envisaged as project B07 for th
 e second phase of CRC 1475. Parody religions are constructed belief system
 s that are usually devised as a satirical means of mocking the idea of rel
 igious belief per se\, and/or certain elements that are (perceived to be) 
 characteristic of extant religions. They present a particularly interestin
 g and challenging test case for better understanding the role of metaphori
 city as the central principle of religious meaning-making. The main goal o
 f the project is to explore how the transcendence/immanence divide is meta
 phorically construed in parody religions\, how parody religions make use o
 f deliberately incongruent metaphorical mappings for satirical purposes\, 
 and what this tells us about the perception of religion from a (largely) "
 outside" perspective.

 phor and Meaning-Making: What role do metaphors play in the emergence of r
 eligious language? How is metaphor connected to notions such as ‘holy la
 nguages?’\n	Comparative Metaphor Studies: How do different religious tra
 ditions (e.g.\, Buddhism\, Christianity\, Daoism\, Islam\, Zoroastrianism)
  utilize similar or divergent metaphors to address themes of salvation\, c
 onduct of life\, or imaginaries of the divine? For example\, to what exten
 t do we find metaphors of Light\, Way\, or the Human Body across different
  traditions?\n	Cognitive (and) Linguistic Approaches to Religious Metaphor
 : How do cognitive linguistic theories of metaphor (e.g.\, mapping and ble
 nding theories) illuminate the unique challenges of religious language?\n	
 Historical and Cultural Shifts in Religious Metaphors: What historical and
 \, in particular\, interreligious factors shape the development and transf
 ormation of specific religious metaphors? How do metaphors adapt or reconf
 igure in response to cross-cultural encounters?\n	Digital and Computationa
 l Approaches to Metaphor Analysis: Which new methods can be employed to an
 alyze religious metaphors at scale\, particularly across languages and cul
 tures? How can digital humanities tools enhance our understanding of metap
 hor in religious contexts?\n	Materiality and Visuality in Metaphors: How d
 o metaphors extend beyond language to religious artifacts\, images\, and o
 ther media? What are the methodological challenges in analyzing metaphors 
 in non-verbal religious contexts?\n\n\nDownload the conference program her

 ußwort Bürgermeister Dr. Elster\n2. Grußwort Dr. Oliver Lueb\, Leiter d
 er Wissenschaftlichen Abteilung RJM\n3. Grußwort Prof. Dr. Volkhard Krech
 \, Direktor CERES\n4. Redebeitrag Annith Klink\, Outreach and Community\, 
 Madang\, Papua-Neuguinea (in Englisch\, keine Übersetzung)\n5. Kurzeinfü
 hrung in die Ausstellungsthematik durch das Kurator*innenteam von CERES un
 d RJM \n\nEinlass in die Ausstellungsräume ab 18:30 Uhr\n\nDie Ausstellu
 ng „Missionssammlungen ausgepackt“ widmet sich einer lange unbeachtete
 n Sammlungspraxis: dem Sammeln von Objekten durch katholische und evangeli
 sche Missionsgemeinschaften – vor allem im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunde
 rt. Im Zentrum stehen Objekte\, die aus weiten Teilen der Welt nach Nordrh
 ein-Westfalen gelangten. Heute befinden sie sich in Einrichtungen der miss
 ionierenden Gemeinschaften\, teilweise auch in Museen in öffentlicher Tr
 ägerschaft oder Universitätssammlungen.\n\nWas erzählen diese Objekte 
 über die kolonialen Machtverhältnisse\, in denen sie gesammelt wurden? W
 elche Rolle spielten Missionar*innen in der Erfassung\, Klassifizierung un
 d Weitergabe materieller Kultur? Und was bedeutet das für den Umgang mit 
 diesen Sammlungen? Anhand von Exponaten aus verschiedenen evangelischen un
 d katholischen Sammlungen aus NRW wird die Vielfalt dieser Bestände sicht
 bar. Ziel der Ausstellung ist es\, mehr Öffentlichkeit und Transparenz f
 ür das Thema zu schaffen – und auch auf Leerstellen in der bisherigen A
 ufarbeitung aufmerksam zu machen.\n\nDie Ausstellung entstand in Zusammena
 rbeit mit dem Centrum für Religionswissenschaftliche Studien (CERES) der 
 Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Sie möchte zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mi
 t Missionssammlungen beitragen – und zu mehr Sichtbarkeit für ein schwi
 eriges Kapitel unserer Sammlungsgeschichte.\n\n(Text ist dem Terminkalende

SUMMARY:„Was machen wir mit den Sachen?“ Außereuropäische und missio
 nsgeschichtliche Sammlungsbestände in regionalen Museen und die metaphori
 sche Dimension der Objekte

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Museen für Ethnologie und außereuropäische Kunst befinden s
 ich gegenwärtig in einem tiefgreifenden Wandel\, der geprägt ist von str
 ukturellen und inhaltlichen Veränderungen sowie der Aufarbeitung der Gesc
 hichte der Sammlungen vor dem Hintergrund möglicher kolonialer Verstricku
 ng. Der öffentliche Diskurs\, der diese Prozesse einrahmt\, konzentriert 
 sich insbesondere auf die großen Häuser und ist häufig mit aktivistisch
 em Eifer verbunden\, dessen Blick sich auf Provenienz und Restitution der 
 Objekte verengt.\n\nIn dieser Debatte wird übersehen\, dass nicht nur die
  bekannten ethnologischen Museen über Sammlungen außereuropäischer Kult
 urgüter verfügen\, sondern auch in kleineren Museen solche Bestände zu 
 finden sind. Im Umgang mit diesen Beständen stellt sich für die Museen d
 ie Frage\, ob die Bedeutung der Objekte nur auf den kolonialen Kontext red
 uziert werden soll\, oder ob sie auch noch anderen musealen Vermittlungszi
 elen dienen dürfen – beispielsweise zur Ausstellung außereuropäischer
  Religionen. Für die universitäre Forschung stellt sich hingegen die Fra
 ge\, ob und in welcher Weise Religionen durch Artefakte repräsentiert wer
 den. Die Frage einer Ausstellbarkeit von (außereuropäischen) Religionen 
 wurde am CERES in der Vergangenheit bereits diskutiert\, u.a. in einer Wor
 kshop-Reihe mit dem Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum.\n\nMetaphern und/im Museum
 : Im Museum begegnet man Religion(en) auf vielfältige Weise\, insbesonder
 e durch die Objekte\, die dort ausgestellt sind. Anhand dieser religiös k
 onnotierten\, oft als „heilig“ betrachteten Objekte werden\, auch durc
 h bestimmte Arrangements\, Geschichten erzählt und tiefere Bedeutungen ve
 rmittelt\, die über ihre materielle Form hinausgehen. Auf diese Weise fun
 gieren Objekte in Ausstellung und Vermittlung oft als Metaphern für Glaub
 enssysteme\, kulturelle Praktiken und menschliche Erfahrungen\, die in ver
 schiedenen Epochen und Gesellschaften entstanden sind.\n\nReligion und/im 
 Museum: Eine Herausforderung für Museen ist neben dem wissenschaftlichen 
 Anspruch der sensible Umgang mit Fragen der Religion. Während Wissenschaf
 t auf Empirie\, Beweisbarkeit und rationale Erklärungen setzt\, bietet Re
 ligion Raum für das Bedenken spiritueller und existenzieller Fragen. Die 
 gegenwärtige Ausstellungspraxis zeigt\, dass beide Perspektiven im Museum
  koexistieren sollten\, um den Besuchern zu ermöglichen\, sowohl die hist
 orischen und kulturellen Kontexte der Objekte zu erfassen als auch die dam
 it verbundenen Glaubensvorstellungen zu erschießen und zu reflektieren.\n
 \nVor diesem Hintergrund soll der geplante Workshop einen Austausch zwisch
 en Museen und universitärer Forschung anstoßen\, wobei der Blick auf den
  Sammlungen kleinerer und regionaler Museen liegt. Objekte\, die beispiels
 weise von Reisenden oder Missionaren an die Sammlungen übergeben wurden\,
  spiegeln einen ganz anderen Blick auf die außereuropäischen Kulturen al
 s die gezielt nach typologischen oder kulturspezifischen Gesichtspunkten z
 usammengetragenen Sammlungen der größeren Häuser wider. Diese verlangen
  zudem nach „authentischen“ Artefakten\, die in den Herkunftsgesellsch
 aften einst rituell oder im Alltagsleben verwendet wurden und nicht als 
 ‚Reisesouvenir‘ erworben werden konnten. Die ausgestellten Objekte als
  Metaphern für Glaubenssysteme\, kulturelle Praktiken und menschliche Erf
 ahrungen können entsprechend eine ganz andere Gestalt annehmen als in gro
 ßen Sammlungen.\n\nIn vielen außereuropäischen Regionen seit Mitte des 
 19. Jahrhunderts wurden eine Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Gegenstände für 
 eine heterogene Abnehmerschaft hergestellt\, die zuweilen ihren Weg in die
  Museen fanden und die heute die entsprechenden Sammlungsbestände gerade 
 kleinerer Museen prägen. Diesen Häusern fehlt es häufig an entsprechend
 er Expertise\, und so wird häufig die im Titel genannte Frage geäußert\
 , wie das Museum mit solchen Objekten umgehen soll. Der Workshop will dazu
  beitragen\, die Möglichkeiten für Ausstellung und weitere Forschung unt
 er besonderer Berücksichtigung der metaphorischen Dimension der Dinge auf
 zuzeigen.\n\nDer Frage ‚Was machen wir mit den Sachen?‘ so in einem kl
 einen Kreis nachzugehen ist das Ziel des Workshops. Dabei liegt der Schwer
 punkt auf Austausch und Diskussion. \n\nHier geht es zum Workshop-Program
 m\n\nDer Workshop wird in Kooperation mit der Sammlung Kulturen der Welt d
 er Hansestadt Lübeck realisiert.\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nDer zweite Teil
  der Veranstaltung wird am 22. und 23. September 2025 in Lübeck stattfind
 en. Mehr dazu zeitnah hier:

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Dr. Camilla Di Biase-Dyson (Macquarie Univers
 ity\, Sydney)\n\nThis paper will discuss colour metaphors used to describe
  emotional states in the Ancient Egyptian language and try to account for 
 the predominance of the colour red. It is proposed that red’s prevalence
  as a figurative expression of emotion could be tied to embodied sensation
 s of emotion\, not just in Ancient Egyptian but in other languages from th
 e Ancient Near East and Ancient Mediterranean. It is also proposed that th
 e status of dšr 'red' as a relatively basic colour term could also play a
  role in its popularity as a metaphor. In short\, it can be shown that Anc
 ient Egyptian helps us synthesise tendencies in the expression of emotion 
 that are present in many world languages.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Metaphors of being “ridden” by anxiety\, “overwhelmed”
  by sorrow or “carried away” by “enthusiasm” point to a curious re
 semblance between metaphors for emotions\, and expressions for spirit or d
 eity possession.\n\nIn religious traditions as far apart as the Himalayan 
 Hinduism and Haitian Voudoun\, the beings that “come over” or “enter
 ” the human body are referred to as riders of their human vehicle\, or a
 s “Divine Horsemen” (Maya Deren). In ancient Sanskrit texts\, the “e
 ntering” (āveśa) of a human person can as much refer to an emotion as 
 to a deity or demon (see Frederick Smith 2006\, The Self Possessed). Argua
 bly\, both emotions and spirits/deities are hard to “grasp” by words a
 nd concepts\, and even harder to control. To talk and think about such for
 ces and entities which are “beyond our reach”\, we need metaphors whic
 h construct similarities – for instance\, by implying that emotions and 
 deities alike “enter”\, “ride” or otherwise “drive” the human 
 body.\nThis workshop examines phenomena such as possession and enthusiasm 
 not only through bodily symptoms or sociopolitical agency but also through
  their conceptual implications: They define the body and the immaterial as
 pects of the self by defining\, shifting\, or opening the borders that mak
 e up the “inner” and “outer” worlds.\n\nThis gives rise to questio
 ns such as the following:\n\n\n	Is the self “entered” or “seized” 
 by emotions coming from “within”\, by spirits or other beings coming f
 rom “outside” the limits of control or rule by the self\, or by some d
 ivinity which is already “within” the individual’s body\, heart or s
 oul?\n	What do the seemingly contradictory images of a Self being “ridde
 n” and being “entered” by these forces tell us about the conceptuali
 zation of the Self itself?\n	Do these metaphors have implications about th
 e integrity\, (in-)dividuality or isolatedness of the Self?\n	Are emotions
  or spirits conceived of as “immaterial” forces? Is the “immaterial
 ” located “inside” the body? If so\, why?\n	How “embodied” are t
 hese forces when they are not yet / not anymore “within” (or around) t
 he possessed body?\n

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lena Sadovski (Austrian Academy of Sciences)\n\nThis lectu
 re explores the religious diversity and interreligious dynamics in Southea
 stern Europe between the 15th and the 18th century. The Balkans have long 
 been – and continue to be – a region marked by profound complexity in 
 terms of politics\, language\, ethnicity\, and religion. This diversity wi
 ll be illustrated through two case studies\, drawing on an extensive range
  of archival materials from Venice\, Zadar\, the Vatican Apostolic Archive
 \, and the archives of Propaganda Fide and the Inquisition. We will see ho
 w Jewish otherness persisted in Venetian Dalmatia – and how it could be 
 weaponized – despite conversion and deep integration into the local Cath
 olic society. Moving from west to east\, the second case study addresses t
 he Catholics in Ottoman Bulgaria\, who lived under Muslim rule within a ma
 jority Orthodox Christian society. Here\, we will investigate how the miss
 ionaries attempted to enforce ‘correct’ Catholic beliefs and practices
  when confronted with ‘schismatic’ or ‘pagan’ rituals such as anim
 al sacrifice. Ultimately\, the talk will highlight the everyday significan
 ce of religion and religious identity in these diverse and contested space

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by PD Dr. habil. mult. Velizar Sadovski (Disting
 uished Research Fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences)\n\nIt is not u
 nknown that in archaic Indo-European mythological traditions a large part 
 of the deities have names that more often than not correspond to (personif
 ied) abstract nouns\, nom-ina actionis and nomina agentis\, or directly re
 present tropes such as metaphor\, metonym\, more rarely synekdoche. This i
 s an inherent onomasiological feature characterizing the Latin gods (e.g. 
 the Sondergötter listed in the indigitamenta kept by the Collegium Pontif
 icum and invoked for public prayers) and the Old Greek pantheon\; as W. Bu
 rkert put it once\, “the Archaic Greek personifications come to assume t
 heir distinctive character in that they mediate between the individual god
 s and the spheres of reality\; they receive mythical and personal elements
  from the gods and in turn give the gods part in the conceptual order of t
 hings”. Thus\, Themis ‘Order’ and Mētis ‘Wisdom’ are wives of Z
 eus\, whose daughter is Dikē ‘Justice’\, Aphrodite is accompanied by 
 Erōs ‘Love’\, Himeros ‘Yearning’\, Peithō ‘Persuasion’\; the
  oldest daughter of Okeanos\, the river Styx\, is mother of Zēlos ‘zeal
 ’ and Nikē ‘Victory’\, Kratos ‘Power’ and Biē ‘Force’. Sim
 ilar theonyms enumerated in the catalogues of Hesiod’s Theogony and visi
 ble in action in Homer’s epic poems are a legion.\nWhat is less well kno
 wn is that in a number of Indo-European religions such divine names and ep
 ithets combine to form whole systems of partial characteristics of a divin
 e power which\, taken together\, form a whole which is not a mechanical su
 m of the individual items in the set\, but has added value and often serve
 s as a starting point for the formation of higher levels of theological an
 d cosmological taxonomies. Such clusters start with “dual deities” (li
 ke Ares’ sons Deimos and Phobos ‘Terror and Fear’)\, divine triads (
 like the Hōrai Thallō ‘Sprouting’\, Karpō ‘Fruiting’ and Auxō 
 ‘Growing’)\, to end up with double triads or hexads like the six Titan
 s and the six Olympic Gods in Greece\, the six high deities of the Vedas (
 the Ādityas) and the six-plus-one in the Avesta (‘Best Rightness’\, 
 ‘Good Thought’\, ‘Royalty Worthy to be Chosen’\, ‘Holy Right-Thi
 nking’\, ‘Integrity’\, ‘Immortality’ plus the Supreme God Ahura 
 Mazdā ‘Lord Mind-Setting/Wisdom’)\, or dodekads like the Roman Dii Co
 n-sentes. Moreover\, such theonyms form the Indo-Iranian catalogues of div
 ine epithets (the 50 names of Ahura Mazdā\, the 100 of Rudra\, the 1000 o
 f Viṣṇu and the 1000 of Śiva)\; sometimes they resume the names of ol
 d\, forgotten gods\, sometimes\, vice versa\, they serve as a basis for th
 e consolidation of whole new (classes of) deities\, and not rarely they en
 ter the sphere of anthroponymy as theophoric personal names.\nThe present 
 lecture will discuss several common Indo-Iranian theonyms and the “meta-
 tropology” behind them\, with a specific emphasis on metaphoric and meto
 nymic designations that rose to the rank of divine names in various Indo-E
 uropean cultures.

 ienna / Oslo / Rome)\, represented by its speaker Velizar Sadovski and a n
 umber of its founding members and partners from Norway\, Great Britain\, I
 taly\, and Switzerland.\n\nThe Center for Religious Studies (CERES) where 
 parts of the CRC are located\, and the Multilingualism Research Group (MRG
 ) share a series of research interests. The key topics “Multilingualism
 ” and “Listenwissenschaften”\, represented in several MRG conference
 s between 2008 and 2024\, bring additional inputs to the research themes: 
 cognitive aspects of the relation between language and social experience\;
  lexical and terminological differentiation and the history of knowledge\;
  religious experience and social pragmatics in the context of ancient soci
 eties\; relevance of linguistic forms of expression for the questions of s
 ocial message\, institutional communication and “invention of traditions
 ” within a specific socio-political system\, e.g. in the dialectic condi
 tions of a multilingual state\; social dimensions of literary genres\; way
 s of addressing the use and misuse of languages for establishing group ide
 ntities\, focussing on antagonistic social groups on various levels of a s
 ociety\, etc.\n\nWithin this research framework\, the workshop\, “Taxono
 my\, Differentiation Processes and Metaphor in the History of Knowledge\, 
 including Religion” is designed to foster dialogue among scholars of rel
 igion and philologists. The workshop invites exploration of various captiv
 ating topics\, including differentiation processes\, metaphors\, and taxon
 omies.\n\nThe keyword “differentiation” refers to the fact that\, with
  increasing complexity\, societies begin to differentiate themselves inter
 nally according to spheres such as politics\, law\, economics\, medicine\,
  art\, and religion\, each of which fulfills a specific societal function.
  This process ends in the modern\, functionally differentiated society\, b
 ut already began in the early societies of antiquity. The differentiation 
 process finds its linguistic expression in corresponding text documents\, 
 so that the respective societal structure can be inferred from them. In th
 is way\, philology\, historical linguistics\, and sociology can cooperate.
 \n\nThe detailed program will follow soon.

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk PD Dr. Marius Rimmele\, University of Konstanz\n
 \nMetaphors manifest in diverse forms and at various levels within religio
 us imagery\, shaping both their design and reception. Some metaphors creat
 e striking moments of disruption\, drawing attention to their presence\, w
 hile others function as familiar elements within the depicted discourse. A
  third category operates subtly\, as influential yet often unconscious rep
 resentational strategies. Additionally\, certain metaphors influence the m
 ateriality of the image itself\, shaping how it is understood and engaged 
 with by viewers. This lecture aims to differentiate between these forms th
 rough a schematic framework and examines the potential effects of metaphor
 s within and beyond the image. Particular attention is given to their role
  in artistic representation\, their persuasive power\, and their influence
  on personal practices of piety. To this end\, several theoretical approac
 hes are evaluated for their analytical and explanatory potential.

 rof. Asad Q. Ahmed (University of California\, Berkeley) entitled “The L
 egacy of Avicennism in Nineteenth-Century South Asia”.\n\nAbstract: The 
 lecture examines the reception of the famous Avicennian “essence-existen
 ce” distinction in nineteenth-century South Asia.  The focus is on nine
 teenth-century South Asia. The point of reference is a treatise on simple 
 and compound generation\, which sets out the various philosophical and the
 ological issues involved in advocating and rejecting the distinction.  Th
 e treatise spans quite a wide chronological range: it takes us from the Il
 luminists and Peripatetics to the debates in Isfahan and Shiraz and finall
 y to the philosophers and theologians of South Asia.  The lecture will cl
 osely examine some of the technical arguments and assumptions underlying t
 he acceptance or rejection of the distinction\, the technical capabilities
  of some solutions\, and the late and dynamic South Asian contributions to
  this debate. It will conclude with reflections on why this subtle point o
 f philosophy mattered in the broader South Asian context.\n\nMore informat

  der ‚Weitermetaphorisierung‘ bezeichnen) genauer untersuchen.\nIn ein
 er ersten\, noch vorläufigen Annäherung zeichnen sich in systematischer 
 Hinsicht drei Bereiche ab\, in denen sich besonders aufschlussreiche Fäll
 e solcher metaphorischen Adaptionen erwarten lassen:\n\n\n	im Kontext des 
 intertextuellen Rückgriffs auf traditionelle Motive und Metaphern (z.B. a
 us biblischen oder antiken Traditionen)\,\n	in Zusammenhang mit Prozessen 
 sprachlicher Übersetzung\, z.B. im Übergang vom Lateinischen zu den Volk
 ssprachen\,\n	im Kontext religiöser Pluralisierung und religiösen oder p
 ublizistischen Debatten\, in denen sich oftmals Formen der Umschrift\, kri
 tischen Aneignung oder ironischen Inversion überlieferter Metaphern beoba
 chten lassen.   \n\n\nDas Interesse des Workshops gilt dabei einerseits 
 der Funktion jener metaphorischen Prozesse für die religiöse Semantik un
 d religiöse Sprache\, andererseits ihrer Bedeutung für die literarische

DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dunja Sharbat Dar.\n\nAtmospherically Differen
 t? Contemporary Japanese Christian Worship Services in Comparison\n\nWorsh
 ip services are different in different churches. Based on denomination\, l
 iturgy\, church design\, and theological orientation as well as preference
 s of church leaders\, most churches celebrate the weekly ritual in their o
 wn way. As religious situations\, worship services also have certain atmos
 pheres that emerge in an interplay of materiality\, sociality\, and affect
 . Since the constellation of these elements is usually unique to each chur
 ch\, I explore in this presentation whether atmospheres of worship service
 s at different churches are distinct from each other. By presenting result
 s of my analysis of Japanese worship services\, I intend to compare the so
 cio-spatial arrangements and atmospheres of a few exemplary cases in order
  to examine the potential of atmospheres as influential components of iden
 tity and boundary making practices of churches in Japan.

DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Dr. Jacob Hesse\, RUB\n\nMetaphor research ha
 s grown increasingly complex and diverse. To bring clarity and structure t
 o this field\, I propose a distinction between verbal\, conceptual\, and v
 isual metaphors. Verbal metaphors\, the traditional focus of theories of m
 etaphor\, are instances of figurative language in which words are interpre
 ted in ways that significantly diverge from their standard interpretations
 . Conceptual metaphors\, by contrast\, are not primarily understood as for
 ms of figurative use of language but as mappings of different conceptual d
 omains. Finally\, visual metaphors\, distinct from both verbal and concept
 ual metaphors\, manifest as specific types of visual objects or particular
  ways of interpreting them. My central argument is that none of these type
 s of metaphors can be reduced to another\, as each resists full explanatio
 n in terms of the others. Furthermore\, I will explore the epistemic and r
 eligious significance that each of these types of metaphor exhibits.

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.

 e Frage nach der Übertragbarkeit des christlichen Konzepts ‚Passion‘ 
 und dessen Nachvollzug als Bewegung im Raum: Wo können aus spezifischen S
 zenologien und (theatralen) Körper-Raum-Verhältnissen konzeptmetaphorisc

 hen Metaphern als sprachlich manifestierbares Äquivalent für das ineffab

 licher Alltagsrealität und metaphorisch erschlossener Transzendenz sind m
 etaphorische Prozesse funktional auf ‚religiöse‘Szenen und Performanz

 introduction to the thesis\, followed by the presentation of the Manichaea
 n creation in terms of the Cosmic Trap. The Manichaean cosmos is conceived
  as a purifying machine for the divine light\, which is swallowed up by th
 e demons\, and trapped in the mixture. In addition\, the Manichaean creati
 on is also structured as a cosmic trap for the power of darkness. The pres

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Marjan Afshari Rad.\n\nMetaphor analysis often prio
 ritizes identifying the source domain in a given text. However\, with reli
 gious texts\, in many cases\, the source domain is already apparent\; the 
 key challenge lies in understanding how words associated with it function 
 within the text. Simply recognizing metaphorical expressions with a known 
 source domain is insufficient. A more rigorous approach requires analyzing
  how words related to a semantic domain behave within the text and how the
 y interact with other sentence components.\nFrame semantics offers a syste
 matic method for addressing this challenge. This presentation will introdu
 ce frame semantics as a methodological tool and discuss FrameNet\, an anal
 ytical platform that aims to 'build a lexical database of English that is 
 both human- and machine-readable\, based on annotating examples of how wor
 ds are used in actual texts.'\nFrameNet’s semantic frames help identify 
 how words contribute to meaning construction by situating them within a st
 ructured network of relationships. This allows a more nuanced understandin
 g of how metaphorical expressions operate within a given textual framework
 .\nBy applying these methods\, we can develop a more refined understanding
  of metaphorical language in religious discourse. This talk will outline t
 he theoretical and practical implications of this approach and its advanta
 ges over conventional metaphor analysis.

  on the Book of Job (1826) constitute a sustained argument about the probl
 ems and possibilities of divine representation. Blake’s multimodal engra
 vings combine word image to explore the transformation of Job’s percepti
 on of the divine. The work advances different representations of the divin
 e – for example\, God as lawgiver\, as providential overseer\, and as di
 stant father – only to critique and expose them as warped projections of
  the pious mind. The ultimate disappearance of any visible God-figure from
  the work is central to Blake’s theological argument about the represent
 ability of the divine.

 le (University of Amsterdam)\n\nMultimodality and semiotics scholarship is
  in need of an inclusive model of communication that takes into account th
 e identities of the communicator\, the audience\, as well as their relatio
 n\, and that does not privilege specific media and/or modes over others. T
 he contours of such a model exist in relevance theory/RT (Sperber/Wilson 1
 995)\, whose central claim is that each act of communication comes with th
 e presumption of optimal relevance to the envisaged audience. Conversely\,
  the envisaged audience expects each act of communication aimed at it to b
 e optimally relevant.\nHitherto RT scholars (typically: linguists) have al
 most exclusively analysed face-to-face exchanges. To fulfil RT's potential
  to develop into an inclusive theory of communication\, it is necessary to
  explore how it can be adapted and refined to account for (1) messages in 
 other modes than (only) the verbal mode\; and (2) mass-communication. In F
 orceville (2020) I propose how RT works for mass-communicative messages th
 at involve static visuals. The presentation will specifically focus on how
  RT approaches the key issue of which factors have an impact on the interp
 retation of a picture or a multimodal message\, discussing this issue by d
 rawing on examples from different genres (logos & pictograms\, advertiseme
 nts\, and cartoons)\n\nThis lecture is part of the Master Class on “Mult
 imodal Metaphor Analysis” with Dr. Charles Forceville (University of Ams
 terdam). The Master Class will comprise daily lectures\, discussions and w
 orking sessions\, organized by the Metaphor & Materiality working group.\n

DESCRIPTION:SFB 1475 MASTER CLASS\n\nGuest Lecture by Dr. Charles Forcevil
 le (University of Amsterdam)\n\nMetaphors in films differ from those in st
 atic images because (1) the target and a source of a metaphor can be cued 
 after each other rather than having to be recognizable synchronically\; (2
 ) films can draw not only on visuals and written language\, but also on sp
 oken language\, sound\, and music. In this presentation some scenes with c
 reative film metaphors will be shown and discussed\, as well as some insta
 nces of the deeply entrenched conceptual metaphors GOOD IS LIGHT and BAD I
 S DARK. If and when we are aware of these latter in artistic film narrativ
 es\, we may even judge them mere clichés. That said\, the medium of cinem
 a need not resort to cliché-varieties of the LIGHT/ DARK source domains. 
 By playing around with shades of light and dark\, and with shifts from lig
 ht to dark or vice versa\, the conceptual metaphors may trigger creative m
 appings that contribute to the narrative’s story-line and to the cueing 
 of affective states.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Master Class on “Mul
 timodal Metaphor Analysis” with Dr. Charles Forceville (University of Am

 le (University of Amsterdam)\n\nVisual and multimodal metaphor can be crea
 tive (following Black 1979)\, but also structural (following Lakoff & John
 son 1980\, Johnson 1987). According to Johnson (1987)\, the Source-Path-Go
 al schema underlies the conceptual metaphor X IS A JOURNEY or\, formulated
  more technically\, PURPOSIVE ACTIVITY IS MOVEMENT TOWARD A DESTINATION. F
 orceville (2006\, 2011) explores this metaphor in some documentary films t
 hat feature journeys\; Forceville (Forceville & Jeulink 2011\, Forceville 
 2013\, 2017) extend these analyses to the medium of animation films. The p
 resentation discusses some examples of wordless fictional animated “road
  movies” in terms of this central metaphor.\n\nThis lecture is part of t

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Dr. Charles Forceville (University of Amsterd

 s\n\nMetaphor\, according to Lakoff and Johnson\, is “primarily a matter
  of thought and action\, and only derivatively a matter of language” (19
 80: 153). If this is correct\, then metaphor should occur in other modes t
 han only the verbal mode. And that\, indeed\, turns out to be the case. Th
 is presentation focuses on two genres in which visual and multimodal (here
 : verbo-pictorial) metaphors are used abundantly: Advertising and politica
 l cartoons. While across the two genres\, the metaphors’ formal appearan
 ce does not differ much\, the genres steer the viewer and analyst into dif
 ferent interpretation strategies. After briefly (re)visiting some of the b
 asics of metaphor theory as developed by Max Black and Lakoff and Johnson\
 , I will present many examples of metaphors in both genres.

DESCRIPTION:David Atwood (ZRWP\, Zürich)\n\n"The Sovereign's Body: Metaph
 ors of the Third between Politics and Religion"\n\nThe metaphor of the sov
 ereign’s body—whether embodied by the king or the people—has persist
 ed in Western thought for centuries. Historian Ernst Kantorowicz famously 
 distinguished between two aspects of the king's body: the "body natural" a
 nd the sublime\, eternal "body politic." While his work has profoundly inf
 luenced scholarship on medieval and early modern sovereignty\, questions r
 emain regarding the continuity of the "body politic" in the context of mod
 ern sovereignty. This paper addresses these questions by exploring the con
 cept of a "Third" within this metaphorical framework. Drawing on Lacanian 
 psychoanalysis and cultural studies\, and synthesizing insights from Pierr
 e Legendre and Eric Santner\, this analysis proposes a new perspective on 
 the "Third" as a bridge between politics and religion.

 h crown had highly destructive effects on autochthonous cultures\, languag
 es\, practices and cosmovisions. Conflicts in recent decades\, e.g. over r
 esources\, are also a result of the imposition of European languages\, leg

 sequences of European worldviews (e.g. related to the exploitation of natu
 re) increases interest in a deeper exploration of indigenous cosmovisions.
  Since metaphors can help to make abstract things tangible\, metaphor rese
 arch could make an important contribution to this. However\, it is confron
 ted with different challenges. The lecture will try to outline some of the
 m\, using the example of Andean cosmovisions\, and discussing the followin
 g questions: Does the extent to which a metaphor is identified as such dep
 end on the researcher's worldview? How does the researcher deal with the p
 roblem of the - often oral cultures - being transmitted in Spanish? Does t
 he often very logocentric approach of metaphor research do justice to the 
 study of indigenous cultures?

DESCRIPTION:In our Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1475 “Metaphors o
 f Religion”\, we investigate religious meaning-making in language\, and 
 we assume that metaphors have a fundamental share in this process. Two fur
 ther assumptions guide us as broad principles in our research. Firstly\, a
 s a working basis\, we borrow from Lakoff (1986) the model according to wh
 ich in metaphors\, meaning is transferred between semantic domains. Second
 ly\, applying this model to religion\, which cannot directly articulate it
 s ultimate subject (the transcendent)\, we operate with the assumption tha
 t religion in its meaning-making process draws from its semantic environme
 nt (source domain)\, transferring meaning to its own domain (target domain
 ).\n\nIn the conference\, our focus is on light as one of the basal metaph
 ors in religious communication pointing to transcendence. A ground-breakin
 g contribution was Hans Blumenberg’s ([1960] 2010) analysis of light as 
 an absolute metaphor that\, due to its high degree of abstraction lacks a 
 real reference to metaphors in the material world and cannot be explained 
 through other metaphors. He thus declared it to be unsuitable as a source 
 domain. The conference aims to challenge this assumption and invites contr
 ibutions to test Blumenberg’s hypothesis.\n\nWe aim to approach textual 
 and visual sources from different religious traditions and compare them th
 rough the four dimensions: experience\, its bodily dimension\, organizatio
 n into knowledge\, and translation into action (e.g. through rituals or ot
 her means of regulation) as dialectical processes between the mental and t
 he social.\n\nPoster "More Light on the Metaphors of Light"\n\nProgramme

 and in hand with the strengthening of the Christian missionary movement fr
 om the mid-19th century\, especially in Europe. They primarily consist of 
 objects collected by Christian missionaries during their commitment in the
  missionary field. In the missionaries´ countries of origin\, missionary 
 societies used the collected objects for various purposes\, including publ
 icity for their work and societies. Due to their range of influence\, the 
 presentation of missionary collections had significant effects on the perc

 ns as a source of religious and cultural contact is currently under acute 
 threat. In 2021 and 2023\, CERES took over two collections from a Catholic

DESCRIPTION:Gudrun Reijnierse (VU Amsterdam)\n\n"Navigating Ambiguity: Ana
 lyzing linguistic\, conceptual and deliberate metaphors in discourse"\n\nI
 n recent years\, three levels of metaphor analysis have gained prominence 
 in metaphor studies: the linguistic level\, the conceptual level\, and the
  communicative level. Whereas many studies take a top-down approach to ana
 lyse metaphors on these three levels\, relying on predefined categories or
  mappings\, I will argue that such approaches overlook the inherent ambigu
 ity of metaphors in real-world discourse. Senders may intentionally exploi
 t the multiple meanings and mappings of metaphors\, leaving room for vario
 us interpretations. Similarly\, recipients may interpret metaphors differe
 ntly\, depending on topic salience\, contextual factors\, and prior knowle
 dge. To account for these possible ambiguities\, I will discuss a number o
 f methods that aim to identify\, annotate\, and analyse metaphors in syste
 matic and flexible ways\, thus allowing to examine how metaphors are strat
 egically used and interpreted and revealing their full communicative poten
 tial.\n\n \n\n

DESCRIPTION:The Figurative Construction of Literal Meanings: Metaphor and 
 Etymology\n\nWorkshop together with Lucien van Beek (University Leiden)\, 
 organized by subproject A04.\n\nThe CMT posits that humans tend to employ 
 more concrete (more familiar) concepts to conceptualize more abstract (les
 s familiar) ones. Although this perspective is accurate from a synchronic 
 perspective on language\, it encounters some challenges when viewed from a
  diachronic perspective. An abstract concept may not remain consistently a
 bstract\; it can be employed as a more concrete concept in subsequent hist
 orical periods to conceptualize new abstract concepts. A brief examination
  of the etymology of numerous concrete concepts reveals how they were conc
 eptualized in earlier periods. The consideration of etymology within the f
 ramework of CMT\, however\, presents new challenges. For instance\, if the
  etymology of a word demonstrates its figurative meaning\, does this imply
  that it is not concrete but figurative? How should we approach lexemes fo
 r which the literal meanings are known only through etymology and which ar
 e not attested in their literal meanings in a given corpus? Should they be
  considered metaphorical\, or not? This short workshop addresses these que
 stions by focusing on a few small case studies drawn from different text c
 orpora.\n\nFor more information about the workshop and if you are interest
 ed in attending\, please contact Kianoosh Rezania.

 nceptual Metaphors and the Origins of Juridical Terminology\n\nWhat is the
  conceptual relation between straightness and justice? In which ways can c
 rimes be conceptualized? In my presentation\, I will study material from a
 ncient juridical texts and vocabulary to shed light on these and similar q
 uestions. I will illustrate how insights from Conceptual Metaphor Theory\,
  in combination with lexical and etymological analysis\, may help us under
 stand how early juridical thought developed in the (pre)history of Indo-Eu
 ropean languages\, and how vocabulary in this domain was coined.

 eer | studio\nEintritt frei\n\nAm 05.11. entscheidet sich die USA zwischen
  Donald Trump und Kamala Harris. Wenn wir aus den vergangenen Wahlen etwas
  gelernt haben\, dann ist es\, dass der Wahlausgang trotz aller Umfragen u
 nd Prognosen auch im Wahlkampf-Endspurt ungewiss bleiben kann. Im Ringen u
 m noch unentschlossene Wählergruppen ist die sogenannte „Christian Righ
 t“ eine der lautesten und einflussreichsten Befürworter Trumps. Christl
 iche Metaphern\, die Bezugnahme auf Gott und den persönlichen Glauben sin
 d in der US-amerikanischen Politik und Gesellschaft kein unbekanntes Motiv
 . Dennoch wird Religion im Kontext der „Christian Right“ auf besondere
  Weise instrumentalisiert – zwischen Trump-Bibeln\, Lobbyismus\, Grassro
 ots-Wahlmobilisierung und „God made Trump“-Kampagnen.\n\nDie christlic
 he Rechte\, christlicher Nationalismus\, evangelikaler Fundamentalismus 
 – in der Berichterstattung werden diese Begriffe oft fast synonym benutz
 t. Doch wer verbirgt sich tatsächlich dahinter? Woher kommt der Einfluss 
 einer Wählergruppe\, die sich zwischen der Rückbesinnung auf „christli
 ch-konservative“ Werte\, der Ablehnung von Frauenrechten\, Evolutionsthe
 orie und Gleichberechtigung auf einem Spektrum von konservativ bis gewaltb
 ereit radikal bewegt? Und wie kann es sein\, dass gerade Donald Trump im K
 ontext einer mit christlichen Metaphern überladenen Präsidentschaftskamp
 agne als eine Art Messias inszeniert wird? Handelt es sich hierbei um ein 
 „amerikanisches Phänomen“? Wie sind ähnliche rechtskonservativ-chris
 tliche politische Strömungen in Deutschland im Vergleich einzuordnen? Las
 sen sich hier überhaupt Parallelen ziehen?\n\nIm Gespräch mit Dr. Maren 
 Freudenberg und Dr. Martin Radermacher\, die am CERES – Centrum für Rel
 igionswissenschaftliche Studien an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum unter ande
 rem zum US-amerikanischen Christentum forschen\, wollen wir diesen Fragen

 eer Researchers"\nA dissertation with a few hundred pages and even more fo
 otnotes can make Microsoft Word a nightmare to work with. But what are the
  alternatives? Learn LaTeX in addition to everything else? Or just embrace
  the chaos?\n\nThis workshop will introduce Early Career Researchers to wr
 iting with Markdown. Markdown is a lightweight formatting language that of
 fers a simple and intuitive way to write text. And even if you do not plan
  to ditch your familiar word processor at this stage of the writing proces
 s\, Markdown is used in various contexts and useful to know about: from ca
 sual communication (Element chats support simple text formatting using Mar
 kdown) to personal note-taking (many note-taking and knowledge organizatio
 n programs or wikis support Markdown) and rigorous academic writing (the M
 etaphor Papers are all typeset using Markdown).\n\nParticipants will begin
  by learning the basics of Markdown syntax\, including how to create headi
 ngs\, lists\, links\, images\, and more. We will explore how Markdown can 
 be used in everyday scenarios\, such as formatting text chat messages or T
 RAM tickets. The workshop will then delve into more advanced uses\, such a
 s note-taking\, creating presentation slides\, and even write entire disse
 rtations. Examples will include generating footnotes\, and bibliographies\
 , and converting Markdown documents to various formats (PDF\, DOCX\, etc.)

DESCRIPTION:Leo Weiß\n\n"Surgical Instruments of Indian “oculists” in
  the late 19th and early 20th Century"\n\nThe Karl Sudhoff Institute for t
 he History of Medicine in Leipzig houses a collection of Indian surgical i
 nstruments donated by the Indologist A.F. Rudolf Hoernle between 1907 and 
 1913. The subject of this talk is a part of this collection that supposedl
 y belonged to “two practicing Indian oculists from Benares” and their 
 provenance. Unfortunately\, there are no textual sources written by these 
 oculists\, who\, according to the colonial discourse about them\, were lar
 gely illiterate. The primary textual sources on these subaltern health pra
 ctitioners are publications by Indian Medical Service doctors\, who primar
 ily viewed them as both unwanted competition as well as a public health ha
 zard. According to these sources\, they were commonly called suttiah or va
 idya and were hereditary practitioners who almost exclusively practiced th
 e couching of catharact.\nWhile there are no written sources on these ocul
 ists their instruments have been collected both at the KSI as well as in v
 arious UK collections. I will therefore attempt to develop a closer unders
 tanding of the social position these so-called ‘oculists’ occupied by 
 closely examining the material sources available. What becomes apparent is
  that the collected instruments contain not only those that were used for 
 couching but also those used for other medical procedures unrelated to opt
 halmics. Furthermore\, a significant number of instruments are quite evide
 ntly of Western manufacture\, hinting at a complex entanglement between co
 lonial and indigenous healing practices.

 ister Perspective\n\nReligious language is characterised by a high amount 
 of metaphors. While a part of them is motivated by the need ‘to refer to
  unavailable transcendence by immanent means’ (Krech et al. 2023)\, it w
 ill be argued that not all metaphors in religious language can be explaine
 d in this way. Instead\, a register-based approach to metaphor will be emp
 loyed to analyse a concrete religious text type (sermons) and to contrast 
 it against other\, non-religious text types in a German corpus of 180K tok
 ens from six different text types.\n \nReferences:\nVolkhard Krech\, Tim

SUMMARY:By the Tongue of the Heart: Role and Development of Metaphors in S
 ufi Literature

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Within the wide range of literary genres of the Sufi tradition
  – mystical prose\, didactic poems\, poetry\, Qur’anic Tafsir\, etc. 
 – metaphors play a central role in conveying the meaning of mystical ide
 as. This workshop shall investigate the variety\, composition\, and functi
 ons of such mystical metaphors and how they developed over time and within
  different doctrinal currents inside Arabic and Persian Sufi literature.\n
 The workshop is jointly organized by two subprojects of the Collaborative 
 Research Center Metaphors of Religion (Ruhr University Bochum)\, which inv
 estigates the role of metaphors in religious meaning-making across religio
 us traditions. The two subprojects A01 "Path and Guidance: Interpretations
  of Qur’anic Metaphors of Space and Movement in the Tafsīr Literature" 
 and C01 "Grammar as a Religious Metaphor"\, both of which also partly focu
 s on religious metaphors in Sufi literature. A01 discusses the metaphor of
  the “straight/solid road” (al-s ̣̣ira ̄ t ̣ al-mustaqi ̄̄m) and
  other WAY-metaphors also from the perspective of Sufi Qur’anic exegesis
  and Moulana Rumis opus magnum the Masnavi and C01 asks how grammatical te
 rms and concepts are used in the work the "Grammar of Hearts (Naḥw al-qu
 lūb)" penned by the 11th-century Sufi scholar Abū l-Qāsim al-Qushayrī.
 \nThe CRC approaches metaphors from the perspective of Conceptual Metaphor
  Theory and other related theories\, such as the conceptual blending theor
 y. According to the Conceptual Metaphor Theory\, first introduced by the l
 inguists George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in Metaphors We Live By (1980)\, 
 “a conceptual metaphor is understanding one domain of experience (that i
 s typically abstract) in terms of another (that is typically concrete).”
 \nThe Workshop is hence mainly dedicated to discussing the metaphorical us
 e of conceptual domains which are central to the Sufi discourse such as th
 e domain HEART\; LOVE\; TASTING\; UNITY/UNION\; RETURN\; DEATH/LIFE\; ANNI
 HILATION/DISSOLUTION or WAY/JOURNEY.\n\nDownload the workshop program

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation explores the architectural heritage of Malab
 ar\, southwestern India\, renowned for its rich biodiversity\, vibrant cul
 ture\, and historical religious pluralism. The study investigates historic
 al traditions of building sacred spaces — temples\, mosques\, churches\,
  and synagogues — from c. 13th/14th centuries to the 17th century\, emph
 asising the convergences of architectural practices across religious divid
 es.\n\nWhile previous scholarship has acknowledged the visual parallels am
 ong these religious edifices\, it has largely overlooked the historical ev
 olution of building traditions and their intricate interplay across cultur
 es shaping Malabar’s architectural landscape. This dissertation challeng
 es two widely prevailing perspectives in architectural studies: first\, th
 e notion that non-Hindu religious architectures in Malabar borrowed from 
 “Hindu” building traditions\; and second\, the belief that global arch
 itectural exchanges began with Portuguese influences in the 16th century\,
  primarily evident in church architecture. These views have led to uncriti
 cal acceptance of binary oppositions such as Indic vs. non-Indic and Easte
 rn vs. Western traditions\, often oversimplifying the multifaceted evoluti
 on of architectural traditions over centuries.\n\nThis dissertation transc
 ends such categorisations by utilising the theoretical and methodological 
 framework of Transculturality. The framework provides a comprehensive appr
 oach to understanding cultural interactions\, exchanges\, and transformati
 ons across different spaces\, moving beyond traditional approaches that em
 phasise fixed boundaries and essentialist notions of cultural identity. It
  enables a nuanced understanding of historical building practices and thei
 r inherent diversity\, demonstrating the dynamic and transformative nature
  of building traditions. Furthermore\, it recognises historical (dis)conti
 nuities and adaptability of traditions across religious divides\, allowing
  for the nuanced exploration of connections\, patterns\, convergences\, an
 d divergences of architectural practices.\n\nThrough meticulous analysis o
 f nearly eighty edifices\, Sanskrit building treatises\, and other archiva
 l sources\, the dissertation situates historical building traditions withi
 n the regional socio-cultural and political context of Malabar while conne
 cting them to the broader cultural exchanges of the Indian Ocean World. Th
 is study contributes by establishing a robust analytical framework and pro
 viding comprehensive architectural analyses that reframe architectural tra
 ditions and practices as the shared heritage of multiple cultures within a
  region. It enriches existing scholarship across the fields of Art and Arc
 hitectural History\, Archaeology\, and Cultural & Religious Studies\, open
 ing up avenues for inquiry into historical architectural practices of plu
 ralistic cultures beyond Malabar.

  Approach\n\n \n\nBy moving beyond the walls of monumental religious arch
 itecture\, this talk adopts a city-lens approach to the investigation of l
 ived Buddhism in the third-century cities of northern Gandhara. Based on t
 he evidence available for the city of Barikot (Swat\, N Pakistan)\, the la
 yered complexity of urban religiosity is approached here through a context
 ual analysis of the built-up environment and intra-site spatial distributi
 on of artefacts. \n\nThe aim is to (a) highlight the everyday religious
  practices in domestic spaces and (b) observe how the city space and urba
 n life might have fostered changes in terms of architecture\, practices a
 nd media of religious communication used by the 'urban' samgha. \n\n \n

 eekers of communion and spiritual experience to satisfy their compulsion o
 f proximity with both the sacred and other believers/worshippers\, enablin
 g proximization on a vertical and horizontal level respectively. In the ce
 nter of this mechanism – cognitive in nature and necessarily social in i
 ts implications – we place the techno-discursive manipulations of severa
 l dimensions of distance\, viz. spatial\, temporal\, epistemic\, axiologic
 al\, and emotional ones\, contingent\, among others\, on metaphorical conc
 eptualizations and technological affordances of various media\, which make

 f #SupportCAA\n\n\nIn December 2019\, the Indian parliament implemented th

  the CAA has garnered support and provoked protests in equal measure. My t
 alk explores the manifold contradictions\, paradoxes and counteractions in
  the way the CAA has been "engineered" and set in motion\, how this echoes
  in the digital public sphere\, and how #SupportCAA constantly negotiates 
 between two parallel objectives: first\, to achieve a pan-national unifica

DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag von Dr. Lars Frühsorge (Direktor der Sammlung Kul
 turen der Welt\, Lübeck)\n"Das Depot als spirituelles Endlager? Religiös
 e Metaphern in der ethnologischen Museumsarbeit"\n\nEine besondere Herausf
 orderung für ethnologische Museen ist der Umgang mit religiös bedeutsame
 n Beständen. So können bestimmte „Objekte“ aus Sicht der Herkunftsge
 meinschaften als lebendige Wesen\, als machtvoll oder sogar gefährlich ge
 lten. Sie dürften entsprechend nur Männern\, Eingeweihten einer Glaubens
 gemeinschaft oder überhaupt nicht gezeigt werden. Auch Rückgaben sind ni
 cht immer erwünscht\, etwa wenn das Wissen um den richtigen rituellen Umg
 ang durch den Kolonialismus vernichtet wurde oder sich die Gemeinschaften 
 selbst heute als rein christlich verstehen. All diese Zuschreibungen sind 
 im Zeichen von Kolonialismus und Globalisierung keinesfalls statisch\, es 
 sind sowohl (post-)koloniale Prozesse der Desakralisierung als auch Zuschr
 eibungen neuer religiöser Bedeutungen bei vormals eher profanen Objekten 
 nachweisbar. Ähnlich komplex verhält es sich mit sterblichen Überresten
 \, die unter oft problematischen historischen Bedingungen ihren Weg nach E
 uropa fanden. Ihr Verbleib in den Museen aber auch ihre Rückgabe machen b
 isweilen die Entwicklung neuer religiöser Ausdrucksformen erforderlich. 
  Sowohl Mitarbeitende der Museen als auch Gäste aus den Herkunftsgemeinsc
 haften bedienen sich dabei einer Fülle von Metaphern\, um ihren Perspekti
 ven in diesem ebenso dynamischen wie komplexen Spannungsverhältnis von Wi

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Oleg Yarosh\n\nWestern Sufism at the Crossroads: Re-Islami
 zation\, Authority\, and Community\n\nAbstract This presentation will focu
 s on contemporary trends within Western Sufism\, emphasising Sufi communit
 ies that have either originated in or been contextualized in the West.\nSi
 nce the 1980s\, Sufism in the West gradually underwent re-Islamisation\, c
 onforming to the global norm and identifying Sufism primarily with Islam (
 Sedgwick 2019) or ‘turn to authenticity’ when followers and communitie
 s undermine syncretism and eclecticism previously shared by them and embra
 ce more ‘authentic’ forms of ‘Sufi life’ (Klinkhammer 2009). Howev
 er\, this dynamic is neither linear nor uniformly applicable across differ
 ent groups. It can be reversed or reconsidered depending on the authority 
 and prevailing attitudes within the particular group.\nThe typical leaders
 hip model for Sufi communities is charismatic authority\, a model within w
 hich religious authority is derived from the charisma of the Shaykh. This 
 ‘redemptive sociality’ (Werbner 2001) or collective solidarity based o
 n bonds with a charismatic Sufi Sheikh as a living saint who is able to tr
 ansmit ‘supernatural powers’ to the community is the basis for the mor
 al order and shared beliefs\, values and activities within the Sufi commun
 ities. The charismatic authority in the conditions of privatization and in
 dividualization of religiosity in the West provides a ‘base platform of 
 certainty’ for the religious community\, legitimizing beliefs and practi
 ces. (Hervieu-Léger 2006) This social bonding and mutual relationship wit
 h the Shaykh inside Sufi communities are reinforced through regular religi
 ous ceremonies\, teaching\, training and shared social activities. The pre
 sentation will examine how authenticity\, charismatic authority\, and disc
 ipleship are navigated within Western Sufi communities.

 rn translations of the New Testament into the languages of the former Sovi
 et Union are practically not described in the scientific literature. The p
 aper is intended to fill part of this gap and to report on some typical pr
 oblems in translating metaphors as they look from a cognitive perspective.
  It is particularly difficult to translate such metaphors that are based o
 n social institutions and practices that are absent or poorly known in the
  culture of the target language\, e.g. slavery or patronage. A separate is
 sue is the translation of such words and expressions\, which are originall
 y metaphorical in nature\, but today are perceived as theological terms\, 
 especially if the translation is made into the language of a people with I
 slamic tradition\, e.g. “redemption” (based on the practice of manumis
 sion). The paper will present concrete examples and make cautious generali
 zations.

 'Eternal Salutations: Memorials of Digambara Jaina Ascetic Lineages from W
 estern India'\, the outcome of a research project supervised at CERES by P
 rof. Jessie Pons from 2020 to 2024. The event is open to the general publi
 c\, and all are welcome to attend.\n\nBuilt around a survey of funerary mo
 numents and an analysis of their epigraphic\, architectural\, iconographic
 \, and ritual aspects\, the dissertation presents a study of Digambara Jai
 na ascetic lineages flourishing in Western and Central India during the Su
 ltanate (1206-1526 CE) and Mughal (1526-1857 CE) periods. The bhaṭṭār
 akas which led the Digambara mendicant lineages at the time are now often 
 conceived of as mere ‘clerics’ or ‘corrupted ascetics’. Memorials 
 and other sources however make it clear that the bhaṭṭārakas were ven
 erated as paramount ascetics and led sometimes considerably large mendican
 t communities. The remaining memorials are also uniquely helpful in recons
 tructing the geographical distribution of the ascetic lineages and studyin
 g their subsequent relocations between various towns and regions. Far from
  fleeing from the Indo-Muslim polities\, bhaṭṭārakas often seem to ha
 ve been attracted to them\, undoubtedly following in the wake of lay commu
 nities migrating there in search of professional opportunities. These find
 ings debunk notions prevalent both in prior scholarship and among contempo
 rary Jains concerning the decline of Jain and other South Asian religious 
 traditions due to persecutions by supposedly fanatical\, Islamic rulers. A
 lthough often long abandoned and left to dilapidate\, Digambara memorials 
 stand to remind us that Jaina communities flourished\, statt withered\, in
  the Indo-Muslim states.\n\nThe doctoral defence committee consists of:\n\

DESCRIPTION:Biographies of objects and metaphors: The Example of the Jain 
 shrine from Las Vegas\n\n\n    One of the highlights of the Louisiana P
 urchase Exposition—better known as the World’s Fair—held in St. Loui
 s in 1904 was the Jain Temple in the East India Building. It was said to b
 e a one-eighth size teakwood replica of a marble temple at Palitana\, the 
 Jain pilgrimage site in Gujarat in western India. The East India pavilion 
 was organized by the Indian Tea Association to promote the drinking of tea
  by Americans\, so that a visitor could “drink tea from India served by 
 natives in Oriental dress.” After the Exposition closed the temple remai
 ned out of sight for fifty years. It resurfaced in 1963 as the Temple of L
 uck at the Castaways Hotel\, a casino on the Las Vegas strip. When the Cas
 taways closed in 1987\, Jains from the Los Angeles area bought the temple.
  In 2008 the new Jain Center of Southern California opened in San Mateo\, 
 and the Jain temple has a prominent place in the Center.\n    In this t
 alk Cort follows the complicated lives of this temple from India for over 
 a century in the United States\, from being an object of imperial Oriental
 ist display to being a symbol of mid-century American fantasies to now bei
 ng an object of pride for the recently immigrated Jain community.\n \n\nJ
 ohn E. Cort is Professor Emeritus of Asian and Comparative Religions in th
 e Department of Religion at Denison University in Granville\, Ohio\, USA\,
  where he also taught in the International Studies\, Environmental Studies
  and East Asian Studies programs. His research has focused on the ritual\,

 1801\n\nDr. Carlo Marchetti (University of Rome\, 'La Sapienza')\n"Interdi
 sciplinary Approaches to Middle Persian Studies"\nAlmost two hundred years
  have passed since the start of methodologically grounded investigations o
 n Zoroastrian Middle Persian (Book Pahlavi). Yet\, a comprehensive approac
 h to all the aspects involved in this research\, albeit firmly rooted in s
 olid theoretical frames\, is still being refined. This presentation wishes
  to provide some reflections concerning three general aspects\, highlighte
 d by some notable examples: philological problems relating to critical tex
 tual editions (morphology\, lexicon\, syntax)\, specifically from manuscri
 pt MK\; palaeographical studies on Pahlavi codices\, in particular\, K20 a
 nd MK\; Zoroastrian manuscript production and transmission\, regarding esp
 ecially the information preserved in (multilingual) colophons attributed t
 o Mihraban i Kayhusraw. The general perspective used to tackle these three
  issues is to consider manuscripts not only for their literary contents bu
 t also as transmitters of cultural evidences\, as the two aspects are mutu
 ally intertwined. While in other comparable fields of study (e.g. Sanskrit
 \, Avestan\, Greek\, Latin)\, such general aspects have become disciplines
  in their own regard\, a Pahlavi researcher still needs to be proficient i
 n all of them to present a coherent result\, be it a critical edition\, th
 e description of a manuscript\, or the study of a cultural/religious conte
 xt.\n\nAngelica Gaspari (PhD Candidate University of Rome\, 'La Sapienza')
 \n"Manuščhir on Movement"\n\nManūščihr’s Dādestān ī Dēnīg is a
  complicated and multifaceted text in which identifying the sources of the
  author and the references to his contemporary milieu can be extremely cha
 llenging. In this talk\, I will discuss a very unique question\, pursišn 
 90. We will analyze the question\, underline the differences with other te
 xts\, try to understand the source of Manūščihr and try and prove not o
 nly that Manūščihr’s idea of movement is of apparent Aristotelian des
 cent (Physica III\, VI and VIII\; De Caelo I) but also that paragraphs 5 t
 o 9 are probably a translation from Greek. This section of the Dādestān 
 ī Dēnīg was previously edited by B.T. Anklesaria in 1964. However\, the
  edition lacked an exhaustive commentary\, which is probably why this ques
 tion still has not received the interest it deserves. Manūščihr replies
  to a question regarding the nature and the disposition of the sky\, but a
 fter a short comment\, the focus of the author shifts to movement. In para
 graph three\, there is a brief account of how things began to move after t
 he Drūž’s attack\; it is important to note that the adjective that the
  author uses to express the idea of movement linked to the Evil Spirit is 
 čandenag. In paragraph four\, we find the first reference to the dānāg
 ān (dānāgān čiyon-šān guft ku)\, whose opinion is quoted to explain
  motion\, and again\, the term used is čandenag. The most interesting par
 t of the question begins in paragraph  five and continues until paragraph
  nine\, where dānāgān is mentioned again (če rošn o dānāgān tisan 
 parwarend). It’s clear from the structure of the question that in these 
 chapters Manūščihr is quoting a source: the ideas change and so do the 
 terms used. For 37 times in just four paragraphs\, we find an incredible v
 ariety of nouns and verbs created from the root jumb-. The idea expressed 
 in these paragraphs is linked to\, but different from the chapters in Denk
 ard III on movement (147\, 371\, 380).

DESCRIPTION:Prof. emerit. John E. Cort (Denison University)\n\n"God as Kin
 g or God as Ascetic? Ornament in the Material Culture of Jain Icons"\n\nAB
 STRACT  A fundamental sectarian divide among the Jains is that between th
 e Digambaras (“Sky-Clad”) and Shvetambaras (“White-Clad”). The for
 mer hold that true world renouncers should even renounce clothing\, and so
  live in a state of nudity. The latter reject such an extreme interpretati
 on of renunciation and hold that true world renouncers can wear simple whi
 te robes. This difference in doctrine and practice is seen clearly in the 
 icons of the Jinas found in Jain temples. Digambara temples enshrine image
 s of the Jina as nude\, whereas the images in Shvetambara temples depict t
 he Jina as wearing a robe. But this is not the most obvious visual differe
 nce between temple images. Whereas the Digambara images underscore the Jin
 a’s nudity with a stark\, unornamented style\, Shvetambara images are el
 aborately ornamented. The symbolism is obvious: Digambara images depict th
 e Jina as an ascetic renouncer\, and Shvetambara images depict the Jina as
  a king. In this talk\, Cort explores both the symbolism and the interpret
 ations of Jina images that underlie this key element of the material cultu
 re of Jain temple images.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Catalina Iricinschi\n\n"Metaphor and the Huma
 n Mind: Cognitive Frameworks for Figurative Language in Religion"\n\nStudi
 es in linguistics and language processing have consistently approached met
 aphor as somewhat of an exception to the ‘mainstream’ literal language
 . Far from being a fringe linguistic phenomenon\, metaphors are ubiquitous
  in all human languages. Descriptions of existing formal and functional th
 eories of language – grammars – are used here to highlight three dimen
 sions that are fundamental to metaphoric language: the status of semantics
  within the grammar\, the psychological reality of the proposed grammar\, 
 and the ability of the grammar to incorporate contextual information. As c
 ontext-dependent meaning mappings\, metaphors may indeed lie outside the s
 cope of certain formal grammar theories.\n\nHowever\, empirical evidence f
 rom cognitive psychology indicates that metaphor comprehension is not sign
 ificantly different from the processing of literal expressions\, with one 
 notable exception: metaphors of religious phenomena. As research data indi
 cate\, conceptual mappings elicited by religious metaphors result in cogni
 tively dissonant processes\, most likely due to the absence of perceivable
  referents.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:BuddhistRoad Guest Lecture Series by Neil Schmid (Dunhuang Ac
 ademy)\n\nThe lecture will be available live at Zoom. Please pre-register 
 until 30 January 2024\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berli
 n\, Rom\; Vienna).\n\nLecture Series Overview:\n\nChinese scholarship on t
 he Dunhuang Caves and materials from the so-called Library Cave\, one of t
 he greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century\, has expanded rapidl
 y over the past twenty years. An ever-increasing number of academics\, res
 earch projects\, and publications have provided a wealth of scholarly reso
 urces for the field. This corpus of research merits more attention from we
 stern scholars\, not just in Dunhuang Studies but from across a variety of
  disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This series of six tal
 ks will explore this breath of Chinese scholarship and provide a guide to 
 major areas within Dunhuang Studies\, its key scholars\, publications\, re
 search projects\, institutions\, and trends.\n\nThis series of talks also 
 takes an ethnographic approach on two levels. The first is that Dunhuang m
 aterials\, given their range and diversity\, can be viewed as a coherent d
 ataset\, the closest we have to an ethnographic collection for medieval Ea
 stern Central Asia. In this sense then\, they should be valued in their co
 mplex\, interdisciplinary entirety. Second\, concentrating on Chinese Dunh
 uang research in the 21st century\, these talks also engage an ethnologica
 l approach to the academic realm in order to examine how subfields of Dunh
 uang Studies are delineated in light of institutions and ongoing social fo
 rces. Availing my position as someone in the field of Dunhuang Studies wor
 king at a Chinese research institute\, I will provide on-the-ground observ
 ations through discussions with members of the scholarly community in Chin
 a (i.e.\, ‘thick description’)\, with an emphasis on the explanation o
 f behaviour and agency that accepts emic categories of division of Dunhuan
 g resources and analyses their origins and usages\, as well as how those c
 ategories may enhance or constrain research together with the production o
 f knowledge and its dissemination.\n\nEach of these lectures will systemat
 ically cover the following areas: \n\n\n	compilation and editing of prima
 ry source materials for all fields\n	major scholars and publications\, coo
 perative projects\n	research trends (themes and topics)\n	reference and re
 search tools\n\n\nFinally\, given the framework and sponsor of these talks
 \, the resources explored will be keyed to the seven thematic research clu
 sters of the BuddhistRoad Project (Center for Religious Studies\, Ruhr-Uni
 versität Bochum) to further scholarship on topics within the context of E
 astern Central Asia and their relation to Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nT
 he final talk in the series ties together a variety of themes and topics i
 n previous lectures through the exploration of Chinese scholarship on mate
 rial culture. Picking up from the previous lecture\, this presentation rev
 iews recent and ongoing projects digitising and cataloging Dunhuang caves 
 and their contents. In the context of Chinese Dunhuang Studies\, the categ
 ory of material culture also extends to objects illustrated within cave mu
 rals\, ranging from furniture to clothes to musical instruments\, all of w
 hich have become research topics in their own right. Another rich area of 
 research\, spanning image and realia\, are textiles and fabrics\, as well 
 as votive objects such as banners from the Library Cave. In addition to st
 udy on the visual programmes of Dunhuang Caves and their contents\, Chines
 e scholars have increasingly focused on the degree to which material cultu
 re documents the transmutation of Buddhism in its transmission from India 
 to China via Central Asia. The talk will close with summary of primary tre
 nds and future directions in Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nNeil Schmid is
  Research Professor at the Dunhuang Academy. His scholarship centres on Du
 nhuang and explores a range of topics\, including the role of Buddhist lit
 erature in ritual and art\, medieval economic development\, Esoteric Buddh
 ism (Chin. mijiao\, 密教)\, and the ritual aesthetics of painting and ar
 chitectural space of the Mogao Caves. He is currently at work on several m
 onographs\, including From Byzantium to Japan: Ritual Objects and Religiou
 s Exchanges Across Eurasia in Late Antiquity\, tracing the flow of exotic 
 goods and ritual paraphernalia along the Silk Road\, and the first-ever cr
 itical bibliographical survey of Dunhuang materials\, entitled The Compreh
 ensive Guide to Scholarly Resources for Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nTo join the

 \nThe Tibetan Dunhuang manuscripts from the 8th to 11th centuries are pivo
 tal for understanding early Tibetan religions\, centered around mountain g
 od worship\, seen as earthly manifestations of the celestial gods (Tib. lh
 a). These divine celestial beings were thought to bestow divine rulership\
 , deity systems\, laws\, and societal foundations upon humanity. The texts
  from Dunhuang (and other early Tibetan texts\, such as Stod lha rabs) del
 ineate three evolving relationships between celestial gods and mountain go
 ds and the rulers:\n\n\n	Tibetan pre-imperial period (up to ca. 600): Loca
 l rulers (Tib. rgyal po) revered mountain gods for safeguarding and as sym
 bols of their rule.\n	Tibetan imperial period (ca. 600–850): Mountain go
 ds were personal deities (Tib. sku bla) of divine kings (Tib. btsan po)\, 
 essential in royal ceremonies but also capable of forsaking kings. Subjuga
 ted rulers were compelled to honor the Tibetan king’s personal deity.\n	
 Additionally\, the renowned mountain gods of central Tibet\, the nine moun
 tain gods (Tib. lha dgu)\, were depicted as paternal relatives to the sacr
 ed Tibetan king\, both descendants of the celestial Phyva class.\n\n\nThes
 e narratives trace the mountain gods’ transformation from local guardian
 s to divine relatives of the Tibetan sovereigns\, mirroring the shifting p
 olitical and power dynamics of the era. The study concentrates on two emin
 ent Tibetan mountain gods\, Tanglha yazhur (Tib. Thang lha ya bzhur) and Y
 arlha shampo (Tib. Yar lha sham po)\, exploring the ideological and regal 
 facets of pre-Buddhist Tibet.\n\nYuewei Wang is Post-doctoral researcher a
 ssociated with Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l’Asie orien
 tale\, Paris\, and Ph.D. holder of École Pratique des Hautes Études-Pari
 s Sciences et Lettres. Her research interests focus on the Tibetan religio
 us history in textual resources and social practices\, the evolution of Ti
 betan mountain cults amidst societal changes\, and the comparative religio
 us theory. Her recent works include: “The Cult of the Mountain God Gnyan

 of material objects having the capacity to become a source for studying cu
 ltural and religious contact. The focus is on material objects that are pa
 rt of missionary collections. These collections are a corollary of intensi
 fied missionary activities of Christian orders and congregations starting 
 around the middle of the 19th century. At present\, their number is rapidl
 y decreasing. Against this background\, the missionary collection of the s
 o-called White Fathers congregation\, which was handed over to CERES in 20
 21 and will serve as a case example\, is a stroke of luck. My first presen
 tation on the topic will focus on a brief introduction to missionary colle
 ctions\, especially of the collection of the White Fathers kept at CERES\,
  the capacity of objects and missionary collections\, in general\, to cont
 ribute to the study of religious contact\, the planned methodological appr
 oach as well as a summary of the status quo.\nThe presentation will be hel
 d in German.

 -of-Life Option of Voluntarily Stopping of Eating and Drinking: An Ethical
  Argument to Consider the Jain Practice of Fasting to Death as Different f
 rom Suicide\n\n\nJains have a wide constellation of different types and le
 ngths of fasts. Within this constellation\, sallekhanā\, or the soteriolo
 gical practice of fasting to death\, is the summum bonum. While the rite w
 ent uncontested for over two millennia\, in recent years it became a matte
 r of the courts. Declaring death by sallekhanā as an unnatural death\, th
 e Rajasthan High Court criminalized the practice as illegal on 10 August 2
 015. Soon after the Supreme Court of India stayed the ban on sallekhanā. 
 While the final ruling is still pending\, the Rajasthan Court case brought
  to the foreground pertinent questions around fasting and the ethics of dy
 ing. Is\, for instance\, sallekhanā a form of suicide? Or also\, does the
  support of a sallekhanā-aspirant constitute assisted suicide? In this le
 cture\, I make an ethical argument to consider the Jain practice of fastin
 g to death (known as sallekhanā) as different from suicide. To this end\,
  I bring the Jain fast into conversation with the practice of ‘Voluntari
 ly Stopping of Eating and Drinking’ (VSED)\, an end-of-life option\, ava
 ilable in various countries for competent adults\, to hasten the end of li
 fe by consciously choosing to not eat and drink. From a medical and legal 
 point of view sallekhanā can be considered a form of VSED. Although diffe
 ring in terms of intent and historical context\, the two practices are sim
 ilar insofar that they relate to capable and sound individuals who volunta
 rily forego food and water until death. Showing the critical similarity be
 tween VSED and sallekhanā\, I argue that the grounds put forward by major
  medical associations and legal societies to differentiate VSED from suici
 de are equally applicable to the case of sallekhanā.\n\n\nClaire Maes stu

 degree in 2015 from Ghent University with a dissertation that examines the

 tember 2021\, she is an assistant professor at the Department of Indology

 lin\, Rom\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast)\n\nLecture Series 
 Overview:\n\nChinese scholarship on the Dunhuang Caves and materials from 
 the so-called Library Cave\, one of the greatest archaeological finds of t
 he 20th century\, has expanded rapidly over the past twenty years. An ever
 -increasing number of academics\, research projects\, and publications hav
 e provided a wealth of scholarly resources for the field. This corpus of r
 esearch merits more attention from western scholars\, not just in Dunhuang
  Studies but from across a variety of disciplines in the humanities and so
 cial sciences. This series of six talks will explore this breath of Chines
 e scholarship and provide a guide to major areas within Dunhuang Studies\,
  its key scholars\, publications\, research projects\, institutions\, and 
 trends.\n\nThis series of talks also takes an ethnographic approach on two
  levels. The first is that Dunhuang materials\, given their range and dive
 rsity\, can be viewed as a coherent dataset\, the closest we have to an et
 hnographic collection for medieval Eastern Central Asia. In this sense the
 n\, they should be valued in their complex\, interdisciplinary entirety. S
 econd\, concentrating on Chinese Dunhuang research in the 21st century\, t
 hese talks also engage an ethnological approach to the academic realm in o
 rder to examine how subfields of Dunhuang Studies are delineated in light 
 of institutions and ongoing social forces. Availing my position as someone
  in the field of Dunhuang Studies working at a Chinese research institute\
 , I will provide on-the-ground observations through discussions with membe
 rs of the scholarly community in China (i.e.\, ‘thick description’)\, 
 with an emphasis on the explanation of behaviour and agency that accepts e
 mic categories of division of Dunhuang resources and analyses their origin
 s and usages\, as well as how those categories may enhance or constrain re
 search together with the production of knowledge and its dissemination.\n\
 nEach of these lectures will systematically cover the following areas: \n
 \n\n	compilation and editing of primary source materials for all fields\n	
 major scholars and publications\, cooperative projects\n	research trends (
 themes and topics)\n	reference and research tools\n\n\nFinally\, given the
  framework and sponsor of these talks\, the resources explored will be key
 ed to the seven thematic research clusters of the BuddhistRoad Project (Ce
 nter for Religious Studies\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum) to further scholars
 hip on topics within the context of Eastern Central Asia and their relatio
 n to Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nThis lecture begins with a review of C
 hinese scholarship on Dunhuang manuscripts that offers key insights into t
 he vibrant exchange of medical and scientific knowledge across Eurasia\, o
 ften embedded in religious discourse. These exchanges influenced multiple 
 domains of life at Dunhuang\, including the astral sciences and calendrics
 . Over the last twenty years work in China has begun showing an increasing
  interest in these areas and\, as well as in the relationships between rel
 ated texts and visual materials in Dunhuang caves. One of the strengths of
  recent scholarship has been research on the festival and seasonal year\, 
 which fundamentally configured lay and religious life at Dunhuang. In keep
 ing with the topic of the quotidian\, this lecture will also examine recen
 t scholarship on fundamental issues concerning the death and the life cycl
 e\, including karmic\, together with the role of these play in the constru
 ction of Dunhuang caves.\n\n\nNeil Schmid is Research Professor at the Dun
 huang Academy. His scholarship centres on Dunhuang and explores a range of
  topics\, including the role of Buddhist literature in ritual and art\, me
 dieval economic development\, Esoteric Buddhism (Chin. mijiao\, 密教)\, 
 and the ritual aesthetics of painting and architectural space of the Mogao
  Caves. He is currently at work on several monographs\, including From Byz
 antium to Japan: Ritual Objects and Religious Exchanges Across Eurasia in 
 Late Antiquity\, tracing the flow of exotic goods and ritual paraphernalia
  along the Silk Road\, and the first-ever critical bibliographical survey 
 of Dunhuang materials\, entitled The Comprehensive Guide to Scholarly Reso
 urces for Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register at

DESCRIPTION:Emy Merin Joy\n«The Paravur Dialogues: Understanding the Firs
 t Interreligious Dialogues in Early Modern Kerala»\n\nMy presentation int
 ends to introduce an eighteenth-century Garshuni Malayalam manuscript\, fo
 und in St Joseph’s CMI Monastery Mannanam (MS Mannanam Syr. 74 = MS MalG
 ar 2)\, Kerala\, India\, which contains various polemical dialogues and tr
 eatises. The first work in the manuscript\, which is called the Paravur Di
 alogues contains five dialogues between a certain Jewish Rabbi Jacob\, a J
 ew\, a Pagan (Hindu)\, a Christian and a Muslim\, on various theological t
 opics. The context of this debate is set in the Paravur Synagogue in centr
 al Kerala\, which was originally believed to have been built in 1616 and d
 estroyed and rebuilt several times later. The manuscript is a treasured pi
 ece of writing attributed to the legendary indigenous bishop\, Joseph Kari
 attil (1735/42- 1786) which is proven wrong through my research. The Dialo
 gues must have been the brainchild of a Catalan Jesuit priest\, Francisco 
 Roz S.J (1599-1624)\, who was the first European Archbishop of the diocese
  of Angamale-Cranganore. I will present a brief context of the Dialogues\,
  debates on the question of dating and authorship and a short historical b
 ackground of the Jesuit mission in Kerala in the early modern period.

 Stavrelis\, Department of Indology\, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Univers

 l Thought of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar\n\nThe fact that many members of India’s
  untouchable Mahar caste see in the figure of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar both a so
 cial liberator and a spiritual savior is no chance anomaly. Ambedkar’s e
 fforts at social reform deftly tied religion\, law\, and politics into a p
 rogram for overcoming caste discrimination in Indian society. This was bot
 h a consequence of Ambedkar’s recognition of the potency of religious be
 lief as a catalyst for social action\, and a result of his own sincere\, l
 ife-long religious probing. In this talk\, I will be focusing on Ambedkar 
 as a theologian\, giving primacy of place to his thoughtful and thought-pr
 ovoking analyses of Hinduism\, Buddhism\, and religion in general. In cont
 rast to the majority of existing research on Ambedkar\, which tends to sub
 ordinate his statements about religion to his role as a Dalit leader\, thi
 s talk presents Ambedkar as a “jurist-theologian\,” both to highlight 
 the underappreciated religious inventiveness of his writings and to give n
 ew insights into the theology of law.\n\n \n\nThe lecture will take place

 tern Thousand Buddha Caves\, and Wugemiao) which\, together with their ma
 terial culture and textual resources\, are fundamentally Buddhist in natur
 e. Given that much of 21st century Chinese scholarship on Dunhuang has foc
 used on Buddhism\, this talk first examines the rich corpus of research on
  Buddhist texts\, doctrines and ritual. Research over the past twenty year
 s has also increasingly turned to non-Buddhist religions and practices\, r
 anging from Syriac Christianity to Manichaeism. We then examine how at the
  heart of this interest is the ever-increasing contemporary Chinese focus 
 on the Silk Road as a conduit of transmission that served to establish rel

DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag von Prof. Dr. Jens Schlieter (Universität Bern)\n
 \nErwachte der Buddha\, oder wurde er zum Erleuchteten? Schon oft ist dara
 uf verwiesen worden\, dass die Sanskrit-Begriffe buddha\, bodhi usf.\nals 
 „der Erwachte“\, „erwachen(d)“\, „aufwachen(d)“ übersetzt wer
 den sollten. Ein Bezug zur Lichtmetaphorik findet sich nicht. „Erwachen
 “ als unvermittelter Übergang „Schlafen/Wachsein“ ist insofern eine
  absolute Metapher im Sinne Blumenbergs. Sie setzt lediglich das Vermögen
  des „von sich wissen“\, d.h. eine selbstreferentielle Beobachtung des
  Bewusstseins voraus. Dennoch werden bis heute bodhi und buddha sehr oft m
 it „Erleuchtung“ bzw. „der Erleuchtete“ übersetzt. Ist dies der G
 leichlesung verdankt\, die das Erwachen durch die Perspektive einer christ
 lichen Metaphorik eines Erleuchtet-Werdens durch Gott versteht? Oder gibt 
 es auch in den frühbuddhistischen Texten eine soteriologische Lichtmetaph
 orik\, bzw. eine meditationsbezogene und hagiographische „Lichtglanz“-
 Symbolik?\n\nHans Blumenbergs Methodik der Metaphorologie aufgreifend soll
 en einerseits metaphorische Konkurrenzen analysiert werden\, die sich auf 
 unterschiedliche modi deceptivi (Traum\, Schlaf\, Illusionen\, Halluzinati
 onen\, Dunkelheit und den „Staub in den Augen“) beziehen. Andererseits
  soll die Metaphernanalyse als „illuminativer Vergleich“ (Freiberger) 
 die zentrale Metaphorik des Lichts und „Erleuchtet-werdens“ (bei weitg
 ehender Absenz der Erwachens-Metaphorik) in den hagiographischen Tradition
 en des spätantiken und mittelalterlichen Christentums herauszustellen hel
 fen.\n\nDer Vortrag bildet den Auftakt des Workshops Metaphern in Kunst\, 
 Religion und Wissenschaft\, der in Kooperation mit dem Hans Kilian und Lot

DESCRIPTION:South Asian Section\, Guest Lecture Series\n\nLecture by Dr. S
 ara Mondini\, Humanities Academy. Gent University\n\nThe Mosques of Kerala
 : a new project on identity-building of Muslim communities in Southern Ind
 ia\n\nThis lecture aims to discuss the premises and preliminary results of
  an ongoing project on the mosques on the Malabar coast of India in the pe
 riod that ranges from the initial spread of Islam in this region to the la
 te 19th century. The research promises to be extremely innovative since th
 e production in question has been generally neglected by studies and only 
 some of these structures have been published. From a scholarly perspective
 \, these mosques are of great interest for a variety of reasons: some of t
 hem are among the oldest mosques in India\; their construction would appea
 r to be connected to the first communities of merchants settled in the reg
 ion and generally they display a unique style borrowed from other Muslim r
 egions and fused with elements drawn from local vernacular and temple arch
 itecture. This project aims at having an impact on our knowledge of both a
 rt-historical scenarios\, in the region and in the Islamic world\, and soc
 io-religious scenarios\, enabling us to understand patronage patterns\, so
 cio-cultural dynamics and exchanges across the Indian Ocean. \n\n \n\nTh
 e lecture will take place in situ and on Zoom.

 Dunhuang (敦煌) was a regional center of Tibetan Buddhism during its hey
 day in the 10th century\, attracting Tibetan-speaking Buddhists from neigh
 bouring regions. Because scholars of Tibetan Buddhism at Dunhuang have bee
 n primarily focusing on Tibetan manuscripts from Mogao Cave 17 (a.k.a. the
  Library Cave\, Chin. Mogao ku 莫高窟)\, few have attempted to address 
 the question of how Tibetan Buddhism existed at Dunhuang after the sealing
  of the ‘Library Cave’ around 1006. To complicate the matter\, althoug
 h the Tibetan manuscripts from the Northern-Sector Caves at the Mogao site
 \, some of which have been recently published\, can shed light on this iss
 ue\, it seems that the dating of these manuscripts needs to be reconsidere
 d and re-established as a first step. This talk will use some of the post-
 10th-century Tibetan manuscripts and inscriptional evidence to discuss how
  Tibetan Buddhism continued to survive from the 11th century to the 16th c
 entury.\n\nYi (Allan) Ding is Assistant Professor at the Department of Rel
 igious Studies at DePaul University\, Chicago. He has published several ar
 ticles that deal with Buddhist materials from Dunhuang or Buddhism between
  Tibet and China\, including “‘Translating’ Wutai Shan into Ri bo rt

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Renée L. Ford\, PhD\, Aarhus University\, De
 nmark\n“Heart Openings Project” (ERC starting grant)\n\nThe presentati
 on focuses on Longchen Rabjam’s (1308–1364) homage to Buddha Samantabh
 adra in his Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission\, a commentary on hi
 s root text Treasury of Basic Space. Renée Ford will show how the metapho
 rs used within this verse and other related acts of homage may be expressi
 ons of experience for Longchenpa and for others who engage in contemplativ
 e practices that incorporate devotion.\n\nFirstly\, the lecturer will expl
 ain how Longchenpa’s devotion to Samantabhadra is reflexive\, due to his
  “view” of Dzogchen. This reflexivity incorporates the metaphors used 
 to express the ultimate view in the homage. Secondly\, she explores the re
 lationship of “compassion responsiveness” (thugs rje) in the triad ess
 ence responsiveness\, nature responsiveness\, and compassion responsivenes
 s (ngo bo\, rang bzhin\, thugs rje) found throughout Dzogchen and Mahāmud
 rā.\n\nRenée Ford concludes by reading Longchenpa’s homage alongside a
  few specific microphenomenology interviews\, which focus on very short mo
 ments of experience of contemporary practitioners “feeling the presence 
 of their teachers.” The rigorous analysis procedure of these interviews 
 allows for an interviewer to interrogate a moment of experience\, and allo
 wing the interviewee to express concrete dimensions of that experience.\n\
 nIn this presention\, the lecturer hopes to add to the conversation that J
 an-Ulrich Sobisch began in Do you speak Mahāmudrā? by discussing how met
 aphors allow for the “inexpressible” to become tangible and how they a
 re experienced in meditation (Sobisch\, p. 46). In this way\, Longchenpa
 ’s homage\, and related texts to be examined in future\, may reveal simi
 lar structures and patterns to those in these contemporary interviews.

 cts of Christian Worship in Japan»\n\nWhen studying the socio-spatial arr
 angements of Christian worship services in Japan\, it is crucial to take t
 he material\, sensory and affective dimensions into consideration. Part of
  these are sonic elements such as music\, sounds or voices that are promin
 ent elements of Christian worship (e.g.\, hymns\, the pastor's sermon etc.
 ). In this presentation\, I would like to talk about one Evangelical churc
 h's worship service and discuss methods and approaches to music and sound 
 within the framework of an empirical study of religious atmospheres of Jap
 anese Christian practice. After a brief presentation of methods that could
  be used in order to make the sonic aspects of worship services available 
 for analysis\, I want to discuss ways of how to evaluate music\, sounds\, 
 and voices appropiately.

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Rodrigo García Bergareche (Complutense Unive
 rsity of Madrid)\n\nAbstract\n\nDuring the presentation\, I will resume my
  research\, which mainly reflects on metaphors\, meaning and the grasping 
 of an understanding beyond the limits of the intellect. The mystic Spanish
  Golden Age corpus will be used to carry out this work.\n\nMy investigatio
 n looks at ineffability and the mystical paradox of address\, which is a c
 entral issue in mystical discourse. On many occasions\, Santa Teresa de Je
 sús and San Juan de la Cruz\, who are both discalced Carmelites monks and
  important representatives of Spanish mystical poetry of the 16th century\
 , mentioned the lack of words in their theoretical writings or even in the
 ir artistic works. Ultimately\, Miguel de Molinos\, a theologist and mysti
 cal poet of the 17th century and promoter of Quietism\, even advocated for
  surrendering to silence. Therefore\, I address the mystical ineffability 
 through metaphors. My main line of research follows the classic bibliograp
 hy based on Ricoeur and Blumenberg\, who stated metaphors as a re-descript
 ion of the world\, which is essential when it comes to conceptualising som
 e aspects of reality. In this context\, the cognitive school of Lakoff and
  Johnson will be examined since conceptual metaphors are indispensable for
  the production and communication of knowledge (even more when the referen

 ish mystic poets from this cognitive perspective. Taking into account both
  the tradition from which they come and their unique aspects.

DESCRIPTION:Workshop for PhDs and Early Career Postdocs\n\nWriting researc
 h proposals is a special genre. To successfully acquire research funding -
  be it for a doctoral thesis or a postdoc - there are a few things to cons
 ider. In this workshop\, we want to introduce doctoral students and early 
 career postdocs to the basics and strategies of research proposals to acqu
 ire third-party funding for their research. The workshop will focus on the
  German Research Foundation (DFG) funding schemes.\n\nFirst\, the workshop
  will give an overview of the DFG programmes and go into the “Dos and Do
 n'ts” of grant writing. We will then examine two concrete examples of DF
 G research applications and their reviews. Based on these examples and int
 eractive discussions\, you will learn how to develop a research idea into 
 a project proposal and match it with the objectives of a specific DFG fund
 ing programme. Further\, you will learn how to structure proposals to comp
 ly with the funding conditions of the respective funding programme and con
 sider the reading behaviour of reviewers.

DESCRIPTION:When in September 2022 people\, especially women and girls\, t
 ook to the streets in Iran for the first time under the slogan "Woman\, Li
 fe\, Freedom" and used a wide variety of protest actions\, gestures and wo
 rds to stand up not only against the hijab law\, but also against systemat
 ic gender discrimination\, for political participation and the rights of m
 arginalized groups\, the world public was taken by surprise. However\, the
  courageous resistance in the streets did not come overnight. Even before 
 that\, a new self-confidence had grown among many people\, for which philo
 sophy also played a decisive role.\n\nRoman Seidel will show how the story
  of freedom began in philosophy\, what preconditions it found in the Islam
 ic revolution of 1979 and later in the failure of the reform movement. Abo
 ve all\, his lecture will make clear which philosophical voices accompany 
 and reflect the revolutionary movement today.\n\nThe lecture will be held 
 in German.\n\n\nDr. Roman Seidel conducts research at the Institute of Ara
 bic and Islamic Studies at the RUB as part of the Collaborative Research C
 enter SFB 1475 "Metaphors of Religion" in the sub-project "Path and Guidan
 ce: Interpretations of Qur'anic Metaphors of Space and Movement in the Taf
 sīr Literature". He is also the director and co-initiator of the DFG netw
 ork "Philosophy in the Islamic Modern World." From 2018-2022\, he was enga
 ged in research and teaching at the Institute for Islamic Studies at the F
 ree University of Berlin and also held teaching positions at the Universit
 ies of Zurich\, Bern\, and Siegen. Previously\, he worked as a postdoctora
 l fellow at Humboldt University and Freie Universität Berlin. He received
  his PhD from the University of Zurich in 2011 with the study "Kant in Teh
 ran. Beginnings\, Approaches\, and Contexts of Kant's Reception in Iran" (
 De Gruyter 2014). His research focus is on philosophy and intellectual his
 tory of the Islamic world\, with special emphasis on Iran and the Persian-
 speaking world from the nineteenth century to the present. He is one of th
 e main authors of the Iran section of the compendium History of Philosophy
  in the Islamic World vol IV.2\, nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Turke
 y\, Iran and South Asia).

 of the documentary My Favorite Job and a conversation with Sashko Protyah\
 , the film's author.\n\nIn the spring of 2022\, the Ukrainian city of Mari
 upol was surrounded by Russian troops. Every day they used weapons of mass
  destruction against civilians. In mid-March\, volunteers began evacuating
  people from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia. After each trip\, they gathered to 
 exchange information\, support each other and talk about their traumatic e
 xperiences.\n\nThe film contains videos of volunteers filmed on mobile pho
 nes\, the director's personal archive and animated models: images that by 
 their very presence testify to the ban on filming Mariupol due to the host
 ilities. Any documentation made under the extreme danger of being killed b
 y the occupying army\, as these photos or videos may contain evidence of w
 ar crimes. The videos of mass destruction were recorded and filmed at the 
 operators' own risk.\n\nWe invite you to join the event\, spread the word

  Ghana: The Trajectory of Women in Ministerial Leadership"\n\nABSTRACT\n\n
 At the dawn of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement in Ghana in the ea
 rly 20th century\, the path of women’s roles and leadership took a diffe
 rent turn. Women were no longer invisible but in the limelight and steered
  affairs. My PhD study explores\, discusses\, and analyzes women’s ongoi
 ng leadership pathways in Ghana’s Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. The 
 Pentecostal/Charismatic movement has witnessed remarkable growth and influ
 ence in Ghana over the past few decades\, and my research focuses specific
 ally on the role of women within this religious landscape.\n\nThrough an e
 xamination of historical developments\, religious perspectives\, and socie
 tal factors\, I seek to shed light on the changing dynamics and challenges
  faced by women seeking leadership positions within Pentecostal/Charismati
 c churches in Ghana. In my presentation\, I explore the factors that have 
 facilitated or hindered their rise to ministerial leadership and examine t
 hese developments' impact on Ghana's larger socio-religious fabric. By ana
 lyzing empirical data and engaging with existing literature\, the research
  contributes to a better understanding of the gender dynamics and power st
 ructures within Ghana’s Pentecostal/Charismatic movement in Ghana\, ulti
 mately aiming to promote gender equality and inclusivity in religious lead
 ership.

DESCRIPTION:The DiF workshop attempts to scrutinize the role of the concep
 t WAY in the construction and development of religious meaning in differen
 t Eurasian cultures and in different historical periods. The significance 
 of WAY for the construction of religious meaning in this regard is twofold
 : On the one hand\, WAY is strongly linked to the concept TRAVEL or can be
  regarded as its subdomain. Concept TRAVEL lends itself to the representat
 ion of TRANSCENDENCE\, and by this\, seems to be crucial for the represent
 ation of the transcendence-immanence-distinction\, the central component o
 f the CRC’s definition of religion. The importance of the source domain 
 WAY is further shown by the fact that in several religious traditions (e.g
 . Daoism\, Christianity)\, it becomes the target domain and therefore an a
 bstract name to denote the transcendence. On the other hand\, WAY is assoc
 iated with metaphor because it links a departure point to a destination as
  conceptual metaphor maps a source domain to a target domain. The very con
 cept of WAY\, thus\, seems to be an ideal candidate to scrutinize the meta
 phorization processes involved in the religious sense-making.\n\nWhile met
 aphors pertaining to the source domain of WAY are present in many religion
 s and religious texts\, concrete conceptualizations might differ. The work
 shop is interested in all religious conceptualizations via the semantic so
 urce domain of WAY.\n\nIf you are interested in taking part\, please conta

 “the Conceptual Domain of the Way” in Divan of Hafez\nSamira Bakhtyari
  Nasab (Shiraz University)\n\nHafez is an Iranian poet and mystic of the 1
 4th century AD. It is known that he was aware of the divan of poets before
  him and enjoyed them. From the conceptual metaphor perspective\, this mea
 ns that he has well understood the metaphoric and thought system of the po
 ets before him. Examining the conceptual metaphors of his divan also confi
 rms this. One of the most important conceptual fields in his divan is WAY\
 , which is combined with other conceptual fields to explain his thoughts a
 bout the concept of WORLD. Hafez understands love as a way from pre-existe
 nce to eternity and this world as a home amid this beginningless and endle
 ss path. A home whose most important feature is “transience.” To expla
 in this transience\, Hafez uses the conceptual field of WAY in two forms. 
 In other words\, from the influence of conceptual domains viewpoint\, the 
 concept of TRANSIENCE affects the conceptual domain of way in Divan Hafez 
 in two forms:\n1. The conceptual field of WAY expands in combination with 
 the concept of TRANSIENCE\; The metaphorical composition rāhzan-e dahr (t
 he world's bandit) is the result of this kind of influence\;\n2. To explai
 n other concepts related to TRANSIENCE\, he combines the conceptual domain
  of WAY with other conceptual domains\, such as WAR and DRUNKENNESS.\n \n
 \nMetaphor of WAY in Moulānā Rūmī’s Masnavi as Qur’anic Tafsīr. T
 he Tale of The Parrot and the Merchant and its Metaphorical Significance\n
 Nayereh Mirmousa (Beheshti Univ. Tehran) & Roman Seidel (A01)\n\nThe Mas̱
 navi of Moulānā Rūmī is one of the most influential mystical works of 
 poetry in the Islamic world. The WAY of the soul between the material and 
 the spiritual world is among its central themes. The specific features of 
 this WAY are portrayed in a sophisticated web of multilayered metaphorical
  images\, that are based on both the Qurʾān as a Hypotext of the Mas̱na
 vi and Moulānā’s mystical world view. In the Mas̱navi the WAY occur b
 oth on the level of target and source domain and is conceived as horizonta
 l\, vertical\, and circular. In this talk\, following a brief explanation 
 in what way the Mas̱navi can be considered as a qurʾānic Tafsīr of its
  own kind\, we shall discuss Moulānā’s understanding of the WAY based 
 on an overview to the central characteristics of his Mysticism. We shall t
 hen illustrate his use of metaphors for WAY by taking a\ncloser look at so
 me passages of one of the most famous stories of the Mas̱navi\, the Merch
 ant and the Parrot\, and show how the WAY plays a central role in a variet
 y of prominent conceptual metaphors in this Work.\n \n\nBridge as a Way W
 hich Can Make or Break the Connection to the Transcendence\nYusef Saadat (
 A04)\n\nAccording to a Zoroastrian eschatology\, the Bridge Činwad leads 
 from this world to hereafter and must be crossed by the souls of the depar
 ted. Some Middle Persian texts represents Činwad as a movable bridge. Thi
 s evidence can consequently evince the existence of movable bridges in Ira
 nian communities\, even though the scholars couldn’t find trace of them 
 in the historical and archaeological accounts. The paper discusses the imp
 lications of using this metaphorical picture for the representation of the
  “bridge” to the hereafter and searches for traces of movable bridges 
 in history.\n \n\nWeg-Metaphern im frühen Jainismus (Way Metaphors in An
 cient Jainism)\nPatrick Krüger (B04)\n\nEarly Jainism (ca. 500 BCE - 500 
 CE) is characterized by the textualization of previously orally transmitte
 d doctrine and the consolidation of community structures. In contrast to l
 ater texts\, the literature of this period contains numerous examples of p
 ath metaphors The paper shows how “paths\,” “roads\,” and “fords
 ” are used in metaphorical terms in the literature of Jainism and also d
 iscusses the philological problems that arise in the analysis.\n \n\nTaki
 ng Thoughts as the WAY\nJan-Ulrich Sobisch (A03)\n\nIn Buddhist Mahamudra 
 practice one either directly perceives the nature of the mind\, which puts
  an end to uncotrollable rebirth (=liberation)\, or\, when one is of lesse
 r capacity\, one watches the arising of thoughts in one‘s mind and takes
  that as the WAY. The metaphor is also applied to other phenomena like “
 suffering\,” “sickness\,” and “death\,” which can all be made 
 “the path.” The metaphor of “taking ... Aas the path” constitutes 
 one of the core metaphors of high level meditation practice in Mahayana Bu
 ddhism.\n \n\nOn the WAY to the Temple of Mens – The Metaphorical Setti
 ng of Cusanus‘ Idiota de Mente\nKnut Martin Stünkel (C03)\n\nIn many ca
 ses\, everyday metaphors have concrete objects\, actions and persons as a 
 source domain. In my presentation\, I would like to explore the role and p
 articularities of concrete and highly specified metaphors in the theologic
 al thinking of Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464). In his dialogue\nIdiota de 
 mente from the year 1450\, Cusanus employes the metaphor of the WAY in a s
 ignificant manner\, i.e. he uses a ‘real’ way as a metaphor to describ
 e the mind’s progress toward the divine.\n \n\nThe World Travelled by S
 ea\nGina Derhard-Lesieur (Associated CRC member)\n\nIn late antique texts\
 , religious conversion is often conceived as a journey on land or as seafa
 ring. In my input\, I would like to examine a treatise by Ambrose of Milan
  (4th c.)\, whose title de fuga saeculi (on the flight from the world) alr
 eady mentions the source domain WAY. Within this treatise\, the fuga saecu
 li is explained through the metaphor of a sea voyage\, a metaphor that tak
 es its origin in the very same domain of WAY.

DESCRIPTION:As part of the Year of Science 2023\, a book reading for child
 ren will take place on Thursday\, June 29\, 2023 from 2 - 3 p.m. at the Ch
 ristuskirche\, Platz des europäischen Versprechens 1 in 44787 Bochum\, Ge
 rmany. \n\nThe Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of the RUB invites to
  listen to the voices of children's book authors* and learn "how the stars
  came to the sky". The half-hour reading followed by a handicraft activity
  is suitable for children in grades 4 and up.\n\nThe subject is the questi
 on: How did the world actually come into being? The storybook "How the Sta
 rs Came into the Sky" follows brother and sister Dina and Mika as they ask
  themselves important questions one evening: Why is there day and night? H
 ow did humans and animals come into being? To find answers\, they embark w
 ith their father on an enchanting journey to different cultures and religi
 ons. \n\nA special highlight: the "Mars Finds a City" project brings the 
 Red Planet to Earth: seven meters in diameter\, printed with original NASA
  photographs\, the Red Planet travels in orbit through nine science cities
  in Germany as a work by British artist Luke Jerram. In Bochum\, Mars will
  make a stop at the "Christuskirche - Church of Cultures" in the city cent
 er from June 27 to July 13\, and will thus also be on display during the r
 eading at the Christuskirche.\n\nRegistration is not required. Admission i
 s free. Reading is in German.\n\nWe look forward to your visit. \n\nMore

DESCRIPTION:One day\, three events \nStudy orientation\, rummage sale and
  live music: On June 15\, 2023\, there will be a total of three events for
  university members and guests on campus.\n\nThe RUB invites you to enjoy 
 live music and cold drinks on the lawn in front of Q-West from 2 pm. On tw
 o stages there will be a DJ set and live music with up-and-coming bands.\n
 \nFlea market\n\nAt the same time\, a sustainability flea market will take
  place on the North Forum around the University Library\, organized by the
  Asta. Old clothes and used everyday items can be exchanged and sold at 60
  booths.\n\n\nIn the Lecture Hall Center East and in many faculties\, the 
 focus is on student advising. In lectures and workshops\, prospective stud
 ents will learn why Siri can't bake a cake or what Netflix actually has to
  do with religious studies. Student advisors and student representatives w
 ill be available at information booths to answer any questions.\n\nFrom 2 
 to 8 p.m.\, the Long Evening of Student Advising will provide information 
 on all study programs at the Ruhr-Universität\, as well as introductory l
 ectures\, lab visits\, and informational presentations. The CERES student 
 advisory service will also be present at the HZO on this day.\n\nIn additi
 on\, Dunja Sharbat Dar will give a lecture on "Netflix & Pray - Religion i
 s Everywhere" from 6 to 7 p.m. in lecture hall HZO 80. Here's what to expe
 ct at this talk: \n\nReligion is everywhere - really everywhere! It alrea
 dy starts with new media. Hollywood\, Netflix and Amazon\, but also Ubisof
 t or Sony regularly use religious themes. Series like Supernatural\, Good 
 Omens or Midnight Mass are very popular and captivate many viewers. In the
  anime Saint Young Men\, Buddha and Jesus live in a shared apartment and w
 e join them on their short vacation in Tokyo. Games like Dead by Daylight 
 play with Mesopotamian elements - after all\, the character "the Plague" w
 as a Babylonian priestess in her former life.\n\nAt the Center for the Stu
 dy of Religions\, CERES\, the subject of religion is treated very comprehe
 nsively. We look at Indian deities\, ancient myths from e.g. West Asia\, r
 eligion and politics in America or notorious new religious movements from 
 different perspectives. Within the program\, a distinction is made between
  the areas of systematics (theories and methods)\, history of religion\, a
 nd profiling. In all of this\, the focus is on providing students with the
  most comprehensive education possible\, which can only be achieved if var
 ious aspects (theories\, methods\, history\, internships\, research) are i
 ncluded.\n\nSo be there when the RUB invites you to a professional exchang
 e and common chill-out.

DESCRIPTION:The works of Nicholas of Cusa (1401 – 1464) distinguish them
 selves by an extensive range of metaphors spanning from things and circums
 tances of everyday life and aspects of the natural world to cosmological p
 henomena and more abstract geometrical and mathematical images. Many of th
 ese metaphors challenge the reader due to their often unusual and daring c
 ombination of elements which appear to be semantically incongruous or remo
 te from each other.\n\nIn the workshop\, we want to take up this challenge
  and further explore both the scope and the particularities of Nicholas’
  figurative language. In this attempt\, the presented case studies will al
 so serve as test cases to investigate conceptual issues of metaphor analys
 is\, such as the relations of source and target domains and the mapping pr
 ocess.\n\nYou can register here: https://eveeno.com/sfb1475-cusanus-worksh

 iscusses some aspects of the role of metaphors in religious language and t
 he study of metaphors in religious texts. It shows that religious metaphor
 s are not only useful for expressing concepts that are difficult to articu
 late directly\, but they also provide a way to make complex ideas accessib
 le and memorable. It argues that research efforts to explore and analyze t
 hese metaphors\, including the use of digital tools and interdisciplinary 
 approaches\, are not only a significant contribution to the study of the h
 istory of ideas\, but have the potential to change the reception of Buddhi
 sm among accademics and in the Western world."\n\nFind more on: www.iak.un

DESCRIPTION:Veronika Eufinger\n\n"Spaces of urban religion as public space
 s? A comparative study of cases from Germany and the United States"\n\nAbs
 tract\n\nThe study of urban religion often focusses the appropriation of p
 ublic space as its central characteristic (Orsi\, 1999\; Rüpke\, 2020). A
 ccordingly\, the overlapping of the production of religious and secular sp
 aces\, as well as the processing of resulting conflicts are often the focu
 s of research. Contrary to this\, in cases of new urban centralizations\,
  in which new centers and associated peripheries are formed (Lefebvre\, 20
 14)\, religious actors appear as producers and partly as owners of public 
 space: In the context of new development areas and decentralized shopping 
 centers in Germany the Christian majority churches are strongly involved i
 n the production of public space through private investors or neighborhood
  managers. In the United States congregations even become the owners of so
 -called Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) for example through property 
 associations.\n\nBased on three cases from Oberhausen\, Hamburg and New Yo
 rk City\, I explore the extent to which these public spaces supported by r
 eligious congregations are spaces of public religion in the sense of its d
 eprivatization (Casanova\, 2008)\, if those churches act as parts of the c
 ivil society and if the phenomenon is to be considered as a sign of the po
 st-secular city (Knott\, 2010\; Beaumont & Baker\, 2011) or as a sacraliza
 tion (Krech\, 2011) of public space. This needs to be taken in the light o
 f a change in urban spatial logic\, which is characterized in urban develo
 pment research as the Americanization of the European city\, also referred
  to as the market orientation of public planning (Jessen\, 2002). Last but
  not least\, the problem needs to be addressed if religious communities ca
 n produce public spaces at all if the criteria of the incomplete integrati
 on of the individual in the public sphere (Siebel\, 2007) and the commonal
 ity of the public (Arendt\, 1960) are compared to the comprehensive religi
 ous integration of the human being (Gabriel\, 1999).

DESCRIPTION:On June 12\, we welcome Indian filmmaker Harsha Vinay to CERES
 . He will show four short films about Jainism\, providing an insight into 
 this fascinating religion.\nThe films deal with the ritual practices of th
 e Jains\, the production of manuscripts and their use\, temples\, pilgrima
 ges\, and the everyday life of Jain ascetics in India.\n\nBetween the film
 s\, there will be a Q&A session and a discussion with the director.\n\nThe
 se are the films that will be shown (the order may vary):\n\nVihāra – a
  path to salvation\n\nA group of nuns and a naked monk walk bare foot for 
 hundreds of kilometers through changing landscapes along centuries old pil
 grimage routes\, visiting Jain temples and sacred sites in South and Centr
 al India.\nThe process of pilgrimage\, the do’s and don’ts\, the ways 
 of travel\, the times of travel and the differences between a pilgrimage b
 y a monk and a pilgrimage by lay people are some of the topics that this f
 ilm presents.\n\nAsceticism - a day in the life of …\n\nMonks and nuns\,
  known as Munis and Mataji’s describe their daily routines that are rigo
 rously followed during pilgrimage journeys. One witnesses how they live an
 d practice their values of nonviolence\, compassion\, tolerance\, in every
  action of the day: standing\, walking\, eating\, resting\, reading\, etc.
 \n\nJain Texts of Knowledge – manuscripts\n\nArtisans write verses of an
 cient Jain texts in a calligraphic style on evenly sized handmade paper wi
 th gold ink. The actions of dipping into the ink pot\, the smooth flow of 
 gold ink on paper require caution and control. One witnesses the slow\, me
 ticulous and meditative writing technique that produces beautiful\, styliz
 ed texts or manuscripts.\n\nConversations with Jains from India\n\nJains f
 rom across India speak about how they practice their faith in daily life.\
 nPriyank and Shwetha Jain are architects who design a community space in M
 athura\, North India\, using what they call\, non-violent architecture. A 
 producer of organic vegetables and foods\, Rohit Jain\, discusses the chal
 lenges of farming and the Jain faith\, while the CEO of a large constructi
 on company\, Pradeep Jain\, shares his ideas on ecology and environment.

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mai Lin Tjoa-Bonatz will be our guest at CERES and will gi
 ve a lecture as part of the project "mission history collections". She wil
 l present her project "Provenance Check at the Werl Museum" in a Lunchbox 
 Lecture from 12.00-1.45 pm. \n\nThe Forum der Völker in Werl\, a Francis
 can mission museum\, is not only the largest anthropological museum in Wes
 tphalia\, but also the largest collection among some 80 such religious col
 lections from the mission areas in Germany. The collection goes back to th
 e Mission Museum in the Franciscan monastery in Dorsten\, which was opened
  in 1913. Objects from the mission areas were used for missionary training
 .\n\nNow\, the collection of the museum\, which was opened in Werl in 1962
  and comprises more than 14\,000 objects\, is being examined with regard t
 o sensitive colonial-era object holdings. An initial provenance check is b
 eing carried out to determine whether there could be any unlawful acquisit
 ion circumstances or unlawful contexts. The collection holdings from Asia\
 , Oceania\, Africa\, and the Americas include items from the colonial peri
 od\, but also come from post-colonial contexts\, the art trade\, and estat
 es. The research project lays the foundation for a possible deeper provena
 nce research on object histories and offers a first orientation regarding 
 the handling of objects of mission history.\n\nMai Lin Tjoa-Bonatz\, art h
 istorian (Dr. phil. 2001\, Technical University Darmstadt) conducts a prov
 enance initial check at the Museum\, Forum der Kulturen\, in Werl. She was
  an advisor to the Directorate of the National Museums in Berlin\, at the 
 Ethnological Museum and Museum of Asian Art in the Humboldt Forum. She als
 o teaches at various universities on the culture and history of Southeast 
 Asia in Germany and abroad: currently at Humboldt University Berlin\, and 
 previously as a visiting professor at the National University of the Phili
 ppines. She has been involved in excavation projects in Syria and Indonesi
 a. As a curator\, she has worked in exhibition projects on mission history
 \, maritime heritage\, toys or ancient gold.\n\nThe lecture will take plac

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Forough Parsa\, Institute for Humanities & Cu
 ltural Studies\, Tehran\n\nIslam and the Quran created a significant chang
 e in the status of women 15 centuries ago by providing cultural\, social\,
  political\, and economic rights for women. However\, throughout history\,
  women have not fully benefited from these rights. The emergence of femini
 st movements in the West had a significant effect on the Islamic world\, l
 eading women in various Islamic countries such as Egypt\, Iran\, and Turke
 y to organize and fight for equal rights and an end to gender discriminati
 on. In Iran\, women played an active role in the constitutional struggle\,
  with various women's associations and communities formed to defend the co
 nstitutional revolution and achieve equality and the elimination of oppres
 sion of women.\n\nHowever\, the constitution approved in 1285 ignored many
  women's rights\, including the right to vote. During the first and second
  Pahlavi eras\, women's organizations continued to advocate for legal dema
 nds. During the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic Re
 public\, women had a significant presence and influential role\, with incr
 eased social and political participation compared to previous decades. Wom
 en have made significant strides in various fields\, including education\,
  research\, arts\, economics\, and society. However\, after four decades\,
  many social and political demands of women remain unmet.\n\nThe social mo
 vements of Iranian Muslim women are influenced by the idea of re-reading r
 eligious teachings and transforming religious ideas to meet modern require
 ments. Theorists of this movement believe that none of the Quranic verses 
 ignore women's civil and social rights. Today\, numerous associations and 
 communities in Iran continue to fight for equal social\, economic\, and po
 litical rights for women\, with the hope of achieving their goals in the n
 ear future.

DESCRIPTION:Floriana Marra \n\n"Some Reflections on the Religious Encounte
 rs in Manichaean Cosmological Texts"\n\nManichaean cosmology and cosmogony
  are considered to be one of the pillars of the religion founded by Mani i
 n 3rd century Mesopotamia. Material on the cosmogony and the description o
 f the universe\, particularly in sources written in Iranian languages\, sh
 ows a wide range of knowledge and beliefs related to different religions. 
 In the studied fragments\, the generally widespread Zoroastrian background
  is complemented by knowledge from diverse religious traditions located be
 tween the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Subcontinent.\nIn my presentati
 on\, after a brief summary of my doctoral project and its main goals\, I g
 ive a general overview of the texts studied to date\, mainly the fragments
  in Sogdian language and in Manichaean and Secular script. Then\, I presen
 t some case of studies that show a close relationship between different re

  which take into account the work still to be done.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Annika Weber (Universität Trier) \n\n"Die Sammlungstätigkeit
  der Afrikamission im 20. Jahrhundert in geschlechterhistorischer Perspekt
 ive"\n\nAbstract\n\nSeit dem 19. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich inner- und a
 ußerhalb Europas ein regelrechter Sammelhype. Neben Kaufleuten\, Händler
 :innen und Kolonialherren:innen waren auch Missionar:innen an der Sammelt
 ätigkeit beteiligt. Letztere bewahrten Objekte nicht nur als Erinnerungss
 tücke in privaten Einrichtungen auf\, sondern nutzten diese auch zur Anwe
 rbung neuer Missionsanwärter:innen. In der Öffentlichkeit\, aber auch in
  der Forschung\, dominiert jedoch immer noch das Bild des männlichen Fors
 chers als Sammler.\n\nMeine Studie wird demgegenüber erstens den Blick we
 iten und Missionsangehörige als Sammelnde untersuchen und zweitens demons
 trieren\, dass in der Mission neben Männern auch Frauen als forschende Sa
 mmler:innen aktiv waren. Erste Beobachtungen haben gezeigt\, dass sich Mis
 sionsangehörige für zahlreiche Objekttypen und Materialien interessierte
 n\, die sie in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise im Missionswesen einsetzten. D
 ie Untersuchung wird dabei zwei miteinander verbundene Missionsorden exemp
 larisch in den Blick nehmen\, die Gesellschaft der Missionare von Afrika (
 Weiße Väter) und den Orden der Missionsschwestern Unserer Lieben Frau vo
 n Afrika (Weiße Schwestern).

DESCRIPTION:Olga Tytarenko\n\n"Semjon Gamaleja auf der Suche nach christli
 cher Konkordanz: Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Ökumenismus im Osteuropa 
 der Aufklärungszeit"\n\nAbstract\n\nSemjon Gamaleja (1743-1822) gilt als 
 eine der bedeutendsten Gestalten in der osteuropäischen Geistesgeschichte
  der Aufklärungszeit. Der gebürtige ukrainische Orthodox aus einer Kosak
 enfamilie der eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Beamter gemacht hat\, war unt
 er Zeitgenossen für sein frommes Leben bekannt. Heute wird er vor allem a
 ls religiöser Philosoph und Schriftsteller geschätzt. Er zählt zu den p
 roduktivsten Übersetzern der deutschen religiösen Literatur (insb. der O
 pera omnia Jacob Böhmes) in das Russische. In seinen Briefen verschmilzt 
 Gamaleja in verschiedenen Konfigurationen Aspekte der Orthodoxie mit Ideen
  der devotio moderna und den naturtheologischen Konzepten von Johann Arndt
 \, Jacob Böhme und den Pietisten.\nSeine Briefe eröffnen einen bis heute
  kaum erforschten Raum von Metaphern und didaktischen Praktiken\, die es g
 estatten\, sein Schrifttum im Hinblick auf die Spuren des Ökumenismus zu 
 beleuchten. Besonders angesichts der aktuellen Problematik religiöser Fre
 iheit in Osteuropa\, ist eine Beschäftigung mit Gamalejas Werk und seiner
  Person von Relevanz. Im Vortrag werde ich zum einen den Werdegang Gamalej
 as als Denker vorstellen sowie diverse Schriften analysieren\, die bis heu
 te in Deutschland kaum bekannt sind. Zum anderen werden Fragmente aus sein
 en Briefen betrachtet\, die speziell ins Deutsche übersetzt wurden.  \n\

DESCRIPTION:BuddhistRoad Guest Lecture by Joanna Bialek (Berlin)\n\nThe le
 cture will be live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 18 April 2023\, 12 p
 m. Zoom lecture time: 2 pm (CEST)\n\nThe story of books coming from the sk
 y is presented in native Tibetan historiographies and histories of religio
 n as the first appearance of Buddhist teachings in the Yarlung Kingdom (?
 –6th c.) and as such it became an indispensable element in western textb
 ooks on Tibetan Buddhism. Its standard formulation has a set of books cont
 ained in a casket that falls down from the sky and lands on the roof of a 
 royal palace during the reign of king Lha Totori Nyentsen (Tib. Lha Tho th
 o ri gNyan bTsan). The story in its earliest known variants consists of at
  least three originally independent motifs that were linked to each other 
 and woven into one topos most probably not earlier than in the 11th or 12t
 h century. The motifs are: (1) the first encounter with Buddhism during th
 e reign of Lha Totori Nyentsen\; (2) books falling from the sky\; and (3) 
 valued works enclosed in a casket. Even though questioned by Nelpa Paṇ
 ḍita (fl. 13th c.\, Nel pa Paṇḍita)\, the historical value of the st
 ory has been rather widely acknowledged by Tibetan scholars and should rec
 eive additional support from the analysis presented in the paper. I attemp
 t to elucidate two main problems related to the story: (1) the presumed in
 dependent origins of the single motifs\; and (2) the historical events vei
 led behind the seemingly legendary account. Moreover\, textual and linguis
 tic analyses shall support the hypothesis that some parts of the story mus
 t have originated in a multicultural and multilingual environment for whic
 h Central Asian oases would be an ideal candidate. A comparison of this sh
 ort account across various sources provides interesting insights on the so
 cio-historical background of the compositions\, informing our understandin
 g of the processes of social and cultural change.\n\nJoanna Bialek receive

DESCRIPTION:Landscape painting is generally considered an invention of Eur
 opean art. It is largely unknown\, however\, that landscape and natural sp
 ace were also common in the painting schools of Asia as an independent sub
 ject or at least as a formulaic reference to a specific place.\n\nThe lect
 ure "Indian World Views - Nature\, Environment and Landscape in Jainist Mi
 niature Painting" by Dr. Patrick Felix Krüger follows on from the exhibit
 ion "World Views" by contrasting the Western perspective shown there with 
 an Indian\, or more precisely a Jainist view of nature and landscape.\n\nO
 n the basis of exhibits of the exhibition "Jain sein. Art and Life of an I
 ndian Religion" (https://rietberg.ch/ausstellungen/jain_sein)\, a cooperat
 ion project with the Center for Religious Studies\, the function of nature
  and landscape in the Jainist painting traditions will be explained in a g
 enerally understandable way and the symbolism of landscape and natural ele
 ments will be discussed.\n\nThe lecture will start at 12.00 p.m. in the li
 brary of Situation Kunst\, Nevelstraße 29d\, 44795 Bochum in Schlosspark 
 Weitmar.  \n\nFollowing the approximately 1-hour lecture\, Dr. Patrick Kr
 üger will offer a tour of the "World Views". He will take a closer look a
 t Asian landscape painting in the field of tension between religion and ar
 t and discuss questions of the influence and relevance of religious world 
 views on landscape representations.  \n\n\nIllustration: Jainist communit

 so to speak. We would therefore like to create new opportunities for excha

 w potential for cooperation.\n\nAgainst this background\, on 24.02.2023 we
  would like to try out a new format: The CERES-Jour+. This is in reference
  to the old CERES Jour\, which used to take place regularly and represente
 d a casual reporting round\, which can no longer be implemented due to the
  large number of people. As the “+” indicates\, this format is intende
 d to encompass more than spontaneous reports and\, accordingly\, take long
 er. In addition\, we would like to hold the upcoming elections for the CER
 ES committees (Directorate\, etc.) at the end of the event.\n\nThe current
  draft program envisages starting on Friday\, February 24th\, at 1:00 p.m.
  with short presentations from the CERES departments (teaching\, knowledge
  transfer\, support for ECRs\, administration). Afterwards there will be p
 oster presentations on ongoing projects and initiatives.  The committee e
 lections would then start at 4:00 p.m.\, and the necessary information wil

DESCRIPTION:BuddhistRoad Guest Lecture by Alla Sizova (St. Petersburg)\n\n
 The lecture will be available live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 21 F
 ebruary 2023\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture time: 2 pm (CET).\n\nThe Uṣṇīṣav
 ijāyadhāraṇīsūtra is one of the most widespread and popular texts of
  its genre. In the Tibetan Buddhist canon\, it is represented by five diff
 erent versions (Derge no. 594–598). Another version of this Dhāraṇīs
 ūtra was discovered among the Tibetan texts from Karakhoto kept at the In
 stitute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It can
  be found in two sources: (1) an almost complete text is included in the m
 anuscript under call number Kh. Tib. 126/159\, (2) fragmentarily the same 
 text is preserved in the famous Tibetan block print under call numbers Kh.
  Tib. 67 and Kh. Tib. 63/68.\n\nIn both cases\, the colophon is preserved 
 only partially. It contains the name of the paṇḍita Jayānanda\, who h
 eld the position of the state preceptor (Chin. guoshi 國師) during the r
 eign of Emperor Renzong (r. 1139–1193\, 仁宗). Besides\, it provides t
 he name of the translator\, Gyurjékyi lotsaba Garanakarita (fl. 12th c.\,
  Tib. Sgyur byed kyi lo tsa ba ’gar a na k-ri ta).\n\nThe version of U
 ṣṇīṣavijāyadhāraṇīsūtra produced in the Tangut Empire bears a
  resemblance to the earliest translation found in the Tibetan Buddhist can
 on that was made by Jinamitra (mid-8th c.–early-9th c.)\, Surendrabodhi 
 (fl. early-9th c.)\, and Yéshé Dé (mid-8th c.–early-9th c.\, Tib. Ye 
 shes sde) (Derge no. 597). It is the only canonical version where Indra ac
 ts as the protagonist\, who urges the Buddha to utter the Uṣṇīṣavij
 āyadhāraṇī.\n\nThe lecture will outline the results of a study of the
  Tibetan version of the Uṣṇīṣavijāyadhāraṇīsūtra found among 
 Karakhoto texts: in particular\, utilising this example underexplored orth
 ographic and lexical features of the translations produced in the Tangut E
 mpire will be shown. In addition\, the lecturer will present the results o
 f the comparison between the translation from Karakhoto and the version of
  Jinamitra\, Surendrabodhi and Yéshé Dé (Derge no. 597)\, conducted to 
 obtain indirect data on the unity or similarity of their Sanskrit sources.

  Tibetan Dunhuang manuscripts on Avalokiteśvara and post-dynastic materia
 ls from the Tibetan Plateau\, where this bodhisattva would attain unparall
 eled standing. Mapping how Avalokiteśvara acquired his paramount status i
 n Tibet\, the talk combines Dunhuang materials with detailed study of pivo
 tal Tibetan works from the early second millennium\, chief among which the
  bKa’ chems ka khol ma [Pillar Testament] and the Ma ṇi bka’ ’bum 
 [Collected Works on the Maṇi (Mantra)]\, in which the bodhisattva plays 
 an outsize role. The textual histories of these early writings\, some rece
 nt strides notwithstanding\, remain largely unexplored. Bringing new insig
 hts into their past\, Reinier Langelaar will illustrate how the Tibetan my
 thology and cult of Avalokiteśvara developed. To what extent did they pig
 gyback on pre-existing traditions that circulated in surrounding areas\, s
 uch as Dunhuang? And when and how did innovative Tibetan twists\, if any\,
  come about?\n\nReinier Langelaar is a Tibetologist. He is a postdoc at th

 ; 8 pm (Peking)\, 8 am (East Coast)\n\nAs was shown by Kirill Solonin\, th
 e cult of Vajravārāhī\, a wrathful female yidam deity\, belonged to one
  of the major stems of Esoteric Buddhist. It was natural to assume that Ti
 betan influence played an important role in regard of this cult\, but unti
 l recently\, no Tibetan texts of this kind were identified. However\, it b
 ecame possible only after 2017\, when the P.K. Kozlov collection of Tibeta
 n texts from Karakhoto kept at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts\, the
  Russian Academy of Sciences\, became an object of the thorough analysis a
 nd cataloguing. A number of fragments that deal with Vajravārāhī were i
 dentified and a sample taken from the item ХТ-177 (Kh. Tib. 177) was pub
 lished. In his lecture\, Zorin is going to discuss all the relevant ritual
  texts identified in St. Petersburg\, trying to reconstruct the features o
 f the Tibetan cult of Vajravārāhī as it was known to Tanguts in Karakho
 to.\n\n\nAlexander Zorin is a scholar of Tibetan literature\, Tibetan boo

DESCRIPTION:Ignacio Serrano del Pozo talks about his project with the titl
 e "Re-Understanding the "Culture of Abuse" from the Idea of 'Atmospheric A
 uthority': The Kentenich Case."\n\nThe purpose of this research is to anal
 yse the phenomenon of spiritual abuse within religious communities from 
 the approach provided by "atmospherology" of authors such as Hermann Schmi
 tz\, Tonino Griffero and Martin Radermacher. Until now\, religious abuse h
 as been understood --in general-- using the same conceptual tools as those
  applied to sexual abuse\, that is\, as a form of domination and transgres
 sion by an aggressor against his victim. It seems to us that such an under
 standing does not do justice to the domination exercised by a religious at
 mosphere\, which power is neither personal nor episodic\, but much more di
 ffuse and invasive. On the contrary\, if one tries to understand the "spir
 itual forces field" produced\, for example\, by the feeling of fascination
  with a charismatic personality\, the effervescence of shared rituals and 
 practices\, a messianic narrative\, or a sense of guilt consciousness\, it
  may be much more clarifying and operational to do so from the idea of "au
 thority of the atmosphere"\, rather than in a dualistic way restricted onl
 y to the action of a manipulative personality over that of a manipulated o
 ne.

 linguistic contacts between Tocharian and Khotanese has uncovered a new co
 rpus of Khotanese loanwords in Tocharian. The majority of the loanwords ca
 n be dated before the diffusion of Buddhism in the Tarim Basin. Another gr
 oup of loanwords\, however\, can be traced back to the historical period o
 f attestation of Tocharian and Khotanese manuscripts (5th–10th c.). In t
 his group\, several Buddhist technical terms of Khotanese origin are to be
  found. The overall aim of this talk is to sketch possible scenarios of tr
 ansfer between the North and the South of the Tarim Basin: why were these 
 words borrowed into Tocharian and under what historical circumstances? Can
  they tell us something on the transfer of religious practices from Khotan
  into Tocharian speaking territories? To answer these questions\, I will f
 irst test the hypothesis that these linguistic traces of religious exchang
 e may be connected with the alleged presence of a Khotanese religious miss
 ion in Šorčuq around the 5th c. Successively\, I will examine several Kh
 otanese manuscript fragments of religious content that were found in Šor
 čuq itself and in the Kuča area.\n\n\nFederico Dragoni holds a PhD in Li

 gists - Talk with Flavio A. Geisshuesler\n\nTitle: Framing the Sky: Great 
 Perfection Meditation and the Tibetanization of Buddhism\n\n\nThis study o
 ffers an introduction of the famous Tibetan practice known as “Direct Tr
 anscendence” (thod rgal\, Tögal) in order to explore its origins\, deve
 lopment\, and relevance for the study of meditation more generally. In wha
 t is likely one of the world’s most extraordinary techniques of meditati
 on\, yogis sit on top of mountains and gaze into the dark blue of the open
  skies above Tibet until they start to perceive specks of light that grow 
 into complex mandalic shapes until they finally swirl back into empty spac
 e.\n\nDrawing on a vast range of primary sources (such as Dunhuang manuscr
 ipts\, 10th-century tantras of the Dzogchen tradition\, 14th-century comme
 ntaries\, as well as other mythical-ritual texts belonging to the Ancient 
 School of Buddhism and Tibetan Bön)\, it not only reveals the unexpected 
 origins of this practice—demonstrating that it likely originated amongst
  shamanic practitioners prior to the introduction of Buddhist to Tibet in 
 the 7th century—but also asks larger questions regarding the nature of m
 editation. Indeed\, despite its esoteric character\, scholars have compare
 d the Tibetan sky-gazing technique to mindfulness meditation\, which has b
 ecome phenomenally popular across Western societies in recent decades. It 
 has not only been argued that these types of practices share a frame of mi
 nd characterized by freedom\, but also a series of closely related traits\
 , such as present-centeredness\, relaxation\, or a non-judgmental attitude
 .\n\nThis study contextualizes Tögal practice within a larger contemplati
 ve system\, which includes mythical-historical narratives of origin\, anat
 omical descriptions of our subtle bodies\, and philosophical speculations 
 about the nature of language\, in order to show that meditation is not sim
 ply dominated by freedom. On the contrary\, this research project provides
  the reader with a series of “frames” that not only demonstrate that m
 editation frequently confines our freedom\, but also suggest that its trul
 y liberating power stems from increasing our awareness of the various limi
 tations that make up human existence. Amongst many other things\, it shows
  that present-centeredness requires us to be aware of our pasts\, relaxati
 on involves an appreciation of our bodily energies\, and a non-judgmental 
 attitude calls for an understanding of how our brains are inherently geare
 d towards structure and meaning- making.

DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately the Lunchbox Lecture by Flavio A. Geisshuesler m
 ust be cancelled. The event is rescheduled for a later this year.\nInforma
 tion about the new date will be published soon.\n\n\nTitle: Between Predic
 tion and Surprise: Tantric Buddhism and the New Paradigm of Meditation Res
 earch\n\n Meditation\, particularly in the form of mindfulness-based prac
 tices stemming from Buddhism\, has become a spectacularly popular phenomen
 on in our times. It is not only practiced by many strata of society\, but 
 also studied empirically as part of a multidisciplinary research field ref
 erred to as “contemplative science” or “contemplative studies.” Am
 idst this enthusiasm\, it is quite easy to forget that this seeming famili
 arity with meditation is hiding a surprising fact\, namely that our cultur
 e’s appreciation of these Buddhist contemplative practices is rather sup
 erficial. This relative immaturity has given rise to critical voices\, bot
 h amongst students of the cultural-historical forms of meditation\, as wel
 l as amongst scientists investigating the cognitive-psychological effects 
 of the practice.\n\nScholars of Buddhism not only caution that the modern 
 concept of mindfulness diverges from classical definitions of meditation\,
  but also point out that it represents a relatively minor practice amongst
  the many contemplative exercises performed by Buddhists throughout the ag
 es. Neuroscientists\, in turn\, have gradually started to shift their inve
 stigation to include other techniques\, allowing them to investigate the r
 ole of memory\, perception\, imagination\, or arousal in contemplative pra
 ctices.\n\nThis project capitalizes on these existing discourses and bring
 s them together in a revolutionary manner to make sense of meditation in i
 ts manifold dimensions. More specifically\, the project offers an interdis
 ciplinary study of meditation practices in India and Tibet by moving diale
 ctically in between a classical historical-philological analysis of Sanskr
 it and Tibetan texts\, on the one hand\, and emergent theories from the co
 gnitive sciences\, on the other.\n\nThis methodology gives me the instrume
 nts necessary to achieve this study’s two primary objectives: 1) to pres
 ent “predictive coding” as a unified theoretical framework that can be
  applied to the bewildering range of different contemplative exercises fou
 nd in Buddhism (and beyond)\; 2) to apply the predictive coding paradigm t
 o the context of Indo-Tibetan tantra in order to outline a taxonomy of key
  practices found in this cultural-historical context.

DESCRIPTION:Project Presentation by Dmitry Biriukov\n\nPhysical paradigms 
 in the Christological controversies in Byzantium\n\nThis report aims to in
 vestigate how in the religious polemic between the Byzantine authors\, sid
 ing with the Chalcedonian creed and the Monophysites\, the representatives
  of the competing parties willing to establish and clarify their Christolo
 gical views used opposing physical paradigms of mixing physical bodies. Su
 ch paradigms are: (a) the Stoic teaching of the total blending of physical
  bodies\, widely used by the Chalcedonians for the purposes of supporting 
 their views on Christology\; (b) a teaching about the mixing of bodies\, w
 hich was typical for Aristotelian and Platonic authors\, who decisively cr
 iticized the Stoic pattern of total blending. The latter was adopted by th
 e Monophysite authors when they argued in favor of their Christological do
 ctrine and polemized with Chalcedonian Christology. In studying this probl
 em\, I ask whether the Chalcedonian or Monophysite Christologies imply a c
 ertain physical view of the world\, and would it be possible that such a v
 iew of the world is at least one of the reasons why Medieval Christian thi
 nkers settled with one or another Christological doctrine?

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Johannes Steinbach\, subproject C01\n\nMit seinem
  Traktat Donatus spiritualis leistet der bedeutende französische Theologe
  und Gelehrte Jean Gerson (1363-1429) einen innovativen Beitrag zur jahrhu

 80)\, indem er\, sich formal an dessen Ars minor\, einer für junge Schül

 kalische Termini (nach Möglichkeit auf Basis ihrer Semantik) spirituell i
 nterpretiert\, um richtiges christliches Handeln der Menschen – sowohl u

  unabdingbar für das Funktionieren des menschlichen Zusammenlebens sowie 
 für das Gedeihen jedes individuellen Lebens darzustellen. Inwieweit man b
 ei Gersons Deutungen tatsächlich von Metaphern sprechen und sie annotiere
 n kann\, ist fallabhängig und teils sehr schwierig zu beurteilen. Von Don
 atus spiritualis liegen lediglich zwei unzureichende Editionen aus den Jah

DESCRIPTION:Published in exile\, Prison Memoirs (Khāterāt-e zendān\, Sw
 eden 1996) by Shahrnush Parsipur serves as a rare example of testimonial l
 iterature written by both a member of the literati and a sociologist.\n\nB
 ased on the author’s experience of four terms of imprisonment\, once und
 er the shah (1974) and then during the Islamic Republic (between 1981-1986
 )\, it bears witness to the revolution\, which devoured its own children a
 nd pays homage to the executed victims of the ‘mandatory paradise’ bui
 lt by the theocratic regime.\n\nWell-versed in world literature and its my
 thical and epic background\, the author aims at communicating her carceral
  experience in the manner of a detached observer rather than a literary he
 ro. Hence\, in her non-fictional prose\, Parsipur avoids emotional and pla
 intive diction and resorts to the rhetoric of sincerity\, self-restraint a
 nd irony instead of self-heroization. Yet\, in this highly conscious self-
 writing\, one can find traces of the epic hero’s quest that makes Parsip
 ur’s story a compelling piece of literature.\n\n

 13. December 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, R
 om\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Beijing)\; 8am (East Cost)\n\nThis lecture will focus
  on the clay-based sculptural production from Buddhist archaeological site
 s along the Northern Silk Road in Eastern Central Asia. Their rediscovery 
 in the course of international so-called research expeditions at the begin
 ning of the 20th century led to the transfer of a large number of art and 
 cultural objects to various collections worldwide. Analysis of material an
 d technical aspects in the production of clay-based sculptures from the Tu
 rfan Collection at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Berlin\, can lead to
  a better understanding of the historical networks and cultural contexts.
  By considering the material itself as an important source of information
 \, local patterns can be identified and compared\, so that transregional c
 onnections regarding the production of these sculptures can be explored.\n
 \n\n\nBirgit Angelika Schmidt is Graduate Conservator and Research Fellow 
 at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Berlin and doctoral candidate at the
  Institute for Near Eastern Archaeology at the Freie Universität\, Berlin
 . Her research interests include archaeological and conservation sciences\
 , focusing on Central Asian clay-based artefacts and the study and scienti
 fic investigation of their materials and manufacturing techniques.\n\nAt t
 he Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)\, Berlin she h
 as gained considerable experience in the implementation of scientific anal
 yses of art and cultural heritage. Her practical and field working activit
 ies include the conservation of the Tsatsapuri Temple in Ladakh\, India. N

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Hossein Najari (Shiraz University\, Iran)\n\n
 As Kövecses (2010) mentions\, if metaphors are primarily conceptual\, the
 n they must manifest themselves in other than linguistic ways. That is\, i
 f the conceptual system that governs how we experience the world\, how we 
 think\, and how we act is partly metaphorical\, then the (conceptual) meta
 phors must be realized not only in language but also in many other areas o
 f human experience. Some metaphors are grounded in correlations in our exp
 erience and in some others there is a perceived structural similarity (res
 emblance). It is worth nothing that many conceptual metaphors derive from 
 conceptual metonymies and have a metonymic basis or motivation.\n\nOne of 
 the mostly non-verbal manifestations of metaphor is in architecture. In th
 e architectural discourse\, the 'metaphor' is a 'carrying over' from one i
 dea to another\, a transgression\, a metamorphosis of categories\, and it 
 goes to the heart of architecture's secrets. It is the transformation proc
 ess from abstracts into material or visual image. Forceville (2008) believ
 es that Pictorial (or visual) metaphor is the most examined nonverbal mode
  of metaphor. They are monomodal: their target and source are entirely ren
 dered in visual terms.\n\nThe application of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (C
 MT) and determination of some visual /pictorial metaphors\, and also extra
 ction of some metonymical conceptualizations in Persepolis\, capital of Ac
 haemenid Empire (550-330 B.C.)\, is the aim of this lecture\, where we wil
 l put a mirror in front of the nature and the way of thinking in ancient I
 ran and get acquainted with the conceptualization processes that work even
  today and also their aspects of universality.\n\nThe lecture will also be
  available via Zoom. To participate\, please pre-register until 9 December
  2022 at: https://eveeno.com/gl-sfb1475-12-12-2022\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Dunja Sharbat Dar\n \n\n"Inside Japan's Churches - Findings a
 nd Tentative Conclusions from my 1st phase of Fieldwork"\n\n \n\nAbstract
 \n\nMy dissertation project is concerned with the constituents of atmosphe
 re in Japanese church spaces. I therefore conducted interviews and partici
 pant observation in three churches in Tokyo and three churches in Fukushim
 a\, Sonobe and Shizuoka in the summer of 2022. During my three-month long 
 fieldwork trip (phase 1 out of 2)\, I was able to not only participate in 
 a variety of different church services and document them photographically 
 for later image analysis\, but also gather important information on how th
 e participants and pastors/priests think about each church’s atmosphere 
 from their personal or professional perspective. In my presentation\, I wi
 ll present my case studies and first tentative results from my analysis of
  the pictorial and textual material.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dorota Wójciak\, CERES guest researcher\n\nAbstr
 act\n\nThe Podhale highlanders (Górale podhalańscy) constitute the most 
 recognizable ethnic group in Poland. They are known for their lively folkl
 ore\, commitment to tradition and collective Catholic rituals celebrated w
 ith great splendour. During my field research in the Podhale region\, I at
 tended many religious ceremonies and conducted dozens of individual and gr
 oup interviews with highlanders about their attitudes to various forms of 
 celebrating religious rituals and holidays and the transformation of relig
 iosity in their parishes. The focus of my interest was the attitude of Pod
 hale highlanders towards the specific information communicated in the ritu
 al: the information about its participants (both as individuals and as a g
 roup).  Although such information is not covered by the canon\, it is an 
 important part of any collective ritual. Inspired by Charles Sanders Peirc
 e's concepts\, American anthropologist Roy Rappaport called the messages i
 n which the above-mentioned information is communicated self-referential m
 essages and noted that they rely primarily on indices. In my presentation\
 , I will outline what kind of self-referential messages are recognized and
  discussed by the Podhale highlanders and how they made an axiological ass
 essment of such messages communicated in the ritual. I will also point out
  some differences in the assessments made by believers of different ages.\

DESCRIPTION:Gleb Stukalin\n\n"This is a Very Big Tabarruk. Ritual Objects 
 and Sense of Community in the Muslim Saint Veneration Culture of Northern 
 India"\n\nAbstract\nBased on ethnographic fieldwork in northern India (Del
 hi)\, I analyze the role of sacred objects (tabarruk) in the ritual practi
 ce of saintly veneration in Indian Islam. While the use of eatables and ot
 her small objects during pilgrimage seems to be common in almost all relig
 ious cults\, it became institutionalized in a particular way in Indian Isl
 am. Tabarruk (which most often consists of sweets and rose petals) continu
 ously change their status: a pilgrim buys them in a shop near the tomb\, c
 arries them to the grave\, and puts them on the tombstone. Pilgrims exchan
 ge sweets among themselves\, and the tomb’s employees return some of the
  tabarruk to the pilgrims. A number of questions arise here: At what momen
 t do these insignificant objects become bearers of saintly charisma? What 
 particular transformations do they undergo and how? In my presentation\, I
  will reflect on the functions of tabarruk in the context of the social an
 d economic structure of Muslim saint veneration in northern India.\n\n

  seeks medical metaphors in German texts of the Middle Ages. Healing of th
 e soul is central to Christianity. While in narrative texts illness is mos
 tly a sign of lack or sin\, the five wounds of Jesus are highly revered in
  the Middle Ages. For this reason\, the project starts the search for meta
 phors of healing with the lemma Wunde. The data basis is formed by the "Re
 ferenzkorpus Altdeutsch“ (ReA\, Humboldt-Universität Berlin) and "Refer
 enzkorpus Mittelhochdeutsch“ (ReM\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum\, Universit
 ät Bonn)\, which are part of the joint project "Deutsch Diachron Digital"
 . These corpora will be presented\, as well as the annotation tool INCEpTI
 ON (TU Darmstadt\, Klie et al. 2018)\, in which both syntax and semantics 
 of metaphors can be annotated. Using the example of a short MHG text\, cor
 pus query\, dependency annotation and metaphor annotation will be shown. F
 inally\, an outlook will be given on a further corpus of late medieval nun
 s' letters from the Benedictine convent of Lünen.

DESCRIPTION:This talk by Indrek Peedu will focus on some of the complex is
 sues that surface when one attempts to determine the religiosity of people
  in an increasingly secularized society. Once traditional institutionalize
 d religions are no longer adhered to by a significant proportion of the so
 ciety and newer trends and developments are still only in their constantly
  changing\, formative stages\, problems arise with determining what should
  count as religiosity – what kind of a behaviour or discourse should jus
 tify categorizing someone as a representative or as aa supporter of a move
 ment\, a worldview or a practice that is conceptualized as religious?\n\nT
 o analyse such issues\, particular focus will be on the religious situatio
 n in Estonia – a place that is oftentimes called the least religious cou
 ntry in the world. Particular focus will on the debate regarding the appli
 cability of the concept ‘vicarious religion’ (as initially proposed by
  Grace Davie) in contemporary Estonian study of religion. In recent years\
 , the adequacy of this concept to describe Estonians’ ambivalent attitud
 e towards Christianity has been actively discussed. This particularly inte
 resting debate makes it possible to take a closer look at the use of conce
 pts in the study of indeterminate and ambiguous (religious) attitudes and 
 practices. Thus\, in light of the situation in Estonia the talk will parti
 cularly focus on the use and role of concepts in such a research situation
  and thereby on the methodological issues in the study of ‘visible’ an
 d ‘hidden’ aspects of religiosity.

 at can metaphors in Bhutanese pre-modern legal codices and religious histo
 ries tell us about social differentiation between the spheres of religion 
 and politics and Buddhist cosmology in the Tibetan cultural area? What fun
 ctions do metaphors fulfill in these works and\, how have they become so p
 otent in creating meaning\, identity\, and authority within the Buddhist p
 olity in Bhutan? In other words\, what do metaphors tell us about the tran
 scendence-immanence distinction in the Tibetan cultural area? In this talk
 \, Dagmar Schwerk will reflect on these questions based on a textual analy
 sis of different metaphors from the Bhutanese Legal Code from 1729 and rel
 ated Bhutanese (and Tibetan) works.\n\nAs a background\, Bhutan provides a
  unique historical and analytical setting for two reasons. First\, Bhutan 
 is the only country in the Tibetan cultural area that still possesses a pr
 e-modern structural continuity in the form of the “Joint Twofold System 
 of Governance” (Tibetan: chos srid gnyis ldan/chos srid zung ’jug/chos
  kyi rgyal srid). It represents a pre-modern form of differentiation betwe
 en the societal spheres of religion\,\npolitics\, and economy common in th
 e Tibetan cultural area. However\, today\, Bhutan is the only surviving ex
 ample as Sikkim and Tibet no longer exist independently. Second\, Bhutan
 ’s societal elites have always been intensely engaged in cultural encoun
 ters with Asian and later Western nations and colonial powers\, but Bhutan
  was never colonized. Therefore\, Bhutan is a unique case in point with it
 s continued Tibetan Buddhist form of governance—albeit in a modernized w
 ay institutionalized in the Bhutanese constitution.\n\nHence\, for an addi
 tional diachronic and contemporary perspective in our discussion\, Dagmar 
 Schwerk will also briefly address both the relationship between metaphors 
 and Bhutan’s sustainable development model of “Gross National Happines
 s” (GNH) and\, more broadly\, the conceptual centrality of these metapho
 rs in understanding the complexity of the unique relationship between the 
 spheres of religion and politics in Bhutan today.\n\nThe lecture will also
  be available via Zoom. To participate\, please pre-register until 11 Nove

DESCRIPTION:Online Discussion hosted by the BuddhistRoad project\, CERES.
  \n\nThe discussion will take place online via ZOOM on 9 November 2022 at
  5 pm (CET).\n\nAn online discussion between Robert Sharf (Berkeley)\, Nob
 uyoshi Yamabe (Tokyo)\, Carmen Meinert and Henrik H. Sørensen of the Budd
 histRoad Project concerning Buddhist usage and practice in the cave sanctu
 aries located along the Northern Part of the Silk Road in Central Asia. Th
 e discussion takes the views presented in Sharf’s paper “Art in the Da
 rk\,” and the response by Henrik Sørensen in “Light on Art in the Dar
 k” as the points of departure.\n\nIn the past decade there has been an o
 ngoing debate as regards form and function of the Buddhist cave-sanctuarie
 s located along the Silk Road\, i.e.\, were they temples\, places of activ
 e practice and worship\, or were they mostly\, ancestral commemorative spa
 ces that were not visited\, but rather left in darkness as monuments of pi
 ety and prestige? If they were places of worship and practice\, how did th
 at express itself\, if the caves functioned as actual temples with a monas
 tic population living in them\, what is the evidence for this\, and if pla
 ces of meditation\, on the basis of what may this be established? Is it at
  all possible to gauge function from the physical forms or decoration of t
 he caves? Were there different types of usage depending on the cultures th
 at used them? The discussion will centre on these issues\, and the partici
 pants will present their respective views and argue for them on the basis 
 of their research. Those attending the meeting are invited to participate 
 in the discussion\, and to the extent possible have prepared questions or 
 comments.\n\nIn order to follow the discussion and the presentations\, it

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sebastian Reimann\, subproject C04\n\nAbstract\n\
 nIn project C04\, we have collected large amounts of text from religious o
 nline forums that provide an ideal basis for applying machine-learning bas
 ed methods to retrieve potentially interesting metaphors. Unfortunately\, 
 most such efforts to date have concentrated on English texts and have\, so
  far\, not been applied to online forum data or other types of computer-me
 diated communication. Moreover\, no system has considered a further distin
 ction of deliberate metaphor\, which are particularly relevant for the CRC
 \, and other types of metaphor. Instead\, a previous survey by Neidlein et
  al. (2020) even showed significant weaknesses in detecting novel metaphor
 \, an important sub-type of deliberate metaphor. In my talk\, I will prese
 nt ideas on how existing methods for automatic metaphor detection can be i
 mproved\, especially when it comes to the detection of novel metaphor and 
 ultimately deliberate metaphor. Furthermore\, I seek to show how the relat
 ionship between deliberate metaphor and its communicative functions in dis
 course could be explored\, and finally\, I would like to demonstrate how t
 he detection of hate speech in online forums could benefit from the automa
 tic detection of deliberate metaphor.

 m. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rom\, Stockholm\, Vienna
 )\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (New York\, Toronto\, Miami)\n\nAfter the collaps
 e of the Tibetan Empire in the mid-ninth century\, transgressive tantric e
 lements started to be absorbed into Tibetan Buddhism and rapidly spread in
  Tibetan-speaking areas. As a result\, the Dunhuang corpus features a uniq
 ue set of tenth-century gaṇacakra-related rituals texts that reveals the
  importance of the Sarvabuddhasamāyoga and the existence of Tibetan adapt
 ation. This talk explains the early forms of the Tibetan gaṇacakra in th
 ese ritual texts and the ritual logic of the gaṇacakra as a communal lit
 urgy. These Dunhuang texts also shed light on the gaṇacakra-related Nyin
 gma texts preserved in the Peking Tengyur.\n\n\nYi (Allan) Ding is Assista
 nt Professor at the Department of Religious Studies at DePaul University\,
  Chicago. He has published several articles that deal with Buddhist materi
 als from Dunhuang or Buddhism between Tibet and China\, including “‘Tr

 "\n\nAbstract\n\nIran\, with its religious plurality and its conversion fr
 om Zoroastrianism to Islam\, provides rich opportunities for studying the 
 interactions between different religious communities. My dissertation atte
 mpts to provide a better understanding of the relationship between Zoroast
 rians\, Christians and Jews in the late antiquity by examining the encount
 ers between their religious specialists\, and the changing nature of their
  interactions as the Persianate world shifted from Zoroastrian to Islamic 
 rule. The focus of this presentation is to discuss the encounter\, overlap
 ping power and competition between Zoroastrian\, Jewish and Christian reli
 gious specialists based on the discourse of ‘magic’. I seek to study a
 ) how institutional religious specialists such as Zoroastrian priests\, ra
 bbis and bishops demonized their opponents and employed ‘magic’ accusa
 tions as a rhetorical strategy to marginalize their opponents and draw the
  borderlines of their own religious identity and b) to examine the consequ
 ences of magic labels for interreligious relations in this era and area an
 d how they were used as a polemical tool to create boundaries and marginal
 ize the religious others.

 ademy)\n\nThe lecture will be available live at Zoom. Please pre-register

 n\, Rom\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast)\n\nLecture Series Ov
 erview:\n\nChinese scholarship on the Dunhuang Caves and materials from th
 e so-called Library Cave\, one of the greatest archaeological finds of the
  20th century\, has expanded rapidly over the past twenty years. An ever-i
 ncreasing number of academics\, research projects\, and publications have 
 provided a wealth of scholarly resources for the field. This corpus of res
 earch merits more attention from western scholars\, not just in Dunhuang S
 tudies but from across a variety of disciplines in the humanities and soci
 al sciences. This series of six talks will explore this breath of Chinese 
 scholarship and provide a guide to major areas within Dunhuang Studies\, i
 ts key scholars\, publications\, research projects\, institutions\, and tr
 ends.\n\nThis series of talks also takes an ethnographic approach on two l
 evels. The first is that Dunhuang materials\, given their range and divers
 ity\, can be viewed as a coherent dataset\, the closest we have to an ethn
 ographic collection for medieval Eastern Central Asia. In this sense then\
 , they should be valued in their complex\, interdisciplinary entirety. Sec
 ond\, concentrating on Chinese Dunhuang research in the 21st century\, the
 se talks also engage an ethnological approach to the academic realm in ord
 er to examine how subfields of Dunhuang Studies are delineated in light of
  institutions and ongoing social forces. Availing my position as someone i
 n the field of Dunhuang Studies working at a Chinese research institute\, 
 I will provide on-the-ground observations through discussions with members
  of the scholarly community in China (i.e.\, ‘thick description’)\, wi
 th an emphasis on the explanation of behaviour and agency that accepts emi
 c categories of division of Dunhuang resources and analyses their origins 
 and usages\, as well as how those categories may enhance or constrain rese
 arch together with the production of knowledge and its dissemination.\n\nE
 ach of these lectures will systematically cover the following areas: \n\n
 \n	compilation and editing of primary source materials for all fields\n	ma
 jor scholars and publications\, cooperative projects\n	research trends (th
 emes and topics)\n	reference and research tools\n\n\nFinally\, given the f
 ramework and sponsor of these talks\, the resources explored will be keyed
  to the seven thematic research clusters of the BuddhistRoad Project (Cent
 er for Religious Studies\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum) to further scholarshi
 p on topics within the context of Eastern Central Asia and their relation 
 to Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nThis lecture focuses on the wealth of 
 Dunhuang Buddhist resources\, which extends to enacted texts such as sūtr
 a exegesis and performed narratives. This lecture reviews Chinese scholars
 hip on Buddhist exegetical texts and narratives together with their perfor
 mative contexts. It then turns to the wide array of research on popular li
 terature\, much of which was influenced by both Chinese and Central Asian 
 Buddhism and their roles in the vernacularisation of language and literary
  forms. Finally\, we examine how Dunhuang textual resources also offer a r
 ich corpus for linguistic and manuscript studies\, with a growing number o
 f Chinese scholars focusing on the linguistic diversity of the Dunhuang ma
 nuscripts and regional exchanges. \n\n\nNeil Schmid is Research Professor
  at the Dunhuang Academy. His scholarship centres on Dunhuang and explores
  a range of topics\, including the role of Buddhist literature in ritual a
 nd art\, medieval economic development\, Esoteric Buddhism (Chin. mijiao\,
  密教)\, and the ritual aesthetics of painting and architectural space o
 f the Mogao Caves. He is currently at work on several monographs\, includi
 ng From Byzantium to Japan: Ritual Objects and Religious Exchanges Across 
 Eurasia in Late Antiquity\, tracing the flow of exotic goods and ritual pa
 raphernalia along the Silk Road\, and the first-ever critical bibliographi
 cal survey of Dunhuang materials\, entitled The Comprehensive Guide to Sch
 olarly Resources for Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please r

 going research applying the theories of linguist George Lakoff.\nDuring he
 r research on modern postural yoga\, she used the theories of the embodime
 nt of meaning – including Lakoff's theory of conceptual metaphor and his
  understading of idealised cognitive models – to indicate\, how particul
 ar forms of movement experienced during postural yoga practice influence t
 he interpretations of religio-philosophical concepts legitimising this pra
 ctice. This research (summarised in a monograph called Thinking in Āsana:
  Movement and Philosophy in Viniyoga\, Iyengar Yoga\, and Ashtanga Yoga) l
 ead Matylda Ciołkosz to observe\, that different styles of yoga practice 
 also correspond to different forms of social interactions and different et
 hics regulating them. This observation awoke to her interest in the relati
 on between embodiment and morality\, that she intends to expand in two sep
 arate projects – one applying Lakoff's theory of moral politics to analy
 se the discourse about LGBTQ+ people in Poland\, and another investigating
  the relation between movement and morality in modern postural yoga.\n\n

 ebab ‘heart’\, functioning as the seat of cognition\, volition and emo
 tion and as the organ “guiding” human behaviour. Heart metaphors play 
 a major role in the Book of Jeremiah including a number of passages that a
 re central to the problem of increasing individualization and interiorizat
 ion of religion in post-exilic times. Taking as an example the metaphoric 
 expressions describing God as “the examiner of heart and kidneys” (Jer
  11:20\; 12:3\; 17:10\; 20:12)\, I will try to show how the modifications 
 of a (conceptual) metaphor may reflect tendencies shifting the focus away 
 from the nation towards the individual as the subject of moral agency and 
 choice in the religious discourse of early Judaism.

 ure is a hybrid event. To participate via Zoom\, please pre-register until
  14 September 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\,
  Rom\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Cost)\n\nEarly Dzogchen though
 t is characterised by its uncompromising insistence on an effortless mode 
 of meditative practice. There is a certain paradox entailed in this positi
 on\, which can be stated as follows: Given that all forms of training invo
 lve some form of effort\, how is one to learn to practise in an effortless
  manner?\n\nTaking stock of this paradox\, this talk will look at the noti
 on of effortlessness from two complementary angles. First\, Dr. Esler will
  consider how effortlessness serves to demarcate Dzogchen from the tantric
  approach of Mahāyoga through rhetorical deconstruction and symbolical tr
 ansposition. Second\, he will seek to show that\, when examined in a conte
 xt-sensitive way\, effortlessness is also more than just a rhetoric of dec
 onstruction. This will lead us to explore the implications of effortlessne
 ss for an understanding of the contemplative path or of what might be term
 ed\, from a comparative point of view\, a transcending process.\n\nTextual
 ly speaking\, the talk will be based on a set of hitherto unstudied commen
 taries by\n\nNupchen Sangyé Yéshé (ca. 844 to mid-10th c.\, Tib. gNubs 
 chen Sangs rgyas ye shes)\, a pivotal figure in the codification of Buddhi
 st lineages in early Tibetan history. His commentaries are devoted to four
  of the so-called ‘eighteen texts of the mind section’ (Tib. sems sde 
 bco brgyad) and they are among the earliest works to articulate a systemat
 ic exposition of Dzogchen thought.\n\n\nDylan Esler is a scholar and trans
 lator of Tibetan Buddhist texts. He holds a PhD in Languages and Literatur
 e from the University of Louvain and an MA in Buddhist Studies from SOAS\,
  London. He presently works at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of
  the Ruhr-Universität Bochum on the project An Enquiry into the Developme

 bchen Sangye Yeshe (10th century)\, which is sponsored by the Federal Mini

 on early Nyingma expositions of Dzogchen and Tantra. His recent publicatio

 the annotation procedure in CRC 1475 requires the identification of potent

 ead to more consistent annotations than relying on intuition alone. Howeve
 r\, MIPVU was originally developed for contemporary English texts and has 
 only been applied to a limited number of other languages\, which excludes 
 many of the CRC’s source languages as well as historical text genres. Th
 is workshop will firstly explain MIPVU as a method and its steps\, and sec
 ondly discuss issues to be considered when applying MIPVU to texts within

DESCRIPTION:The DIF workshop aims at bringing together the different subpr
 ojects that make up section A of the CRC\, as well as other interested mem
 bers\, by looking at the diverse concepts of WAYs present in their respect
 ive sources.\n\nWhile metaphors pertaining to the source domain of WAY are
  present in all the subprojects\, concrete conceptualizations might differ
 : from the straight path laid out by God (in Islam) to the way of salvatio
 n (in Daoism)\, from a path made up of successive steps (in Tibetan Buddhi
 sm) to a bridge (in Zoroastrianism). We will ask how these different types
  of ways are metaphorized in concrete terms. For instance\, one cannot onl
 y proceed on a path in a forward direction\, but one can also turn around 
 (with positive or negative connotations) or go astray. A way can be even o
 r ascending\, it might be circular or crooked. Besides that\, the way can 
 have a clear destination\, link different realms (e.g.\, this world and th
 e hereafter)\, or moving on it could be an end in itself. Is it possible t
 o find metaphors that situate the way in specific landscapes\, such as mou
 ntains\, deserts\, towns\, or even heaven? Another question would be the t
 arget domain: what does the way stand for in the various religious traditi
 ons? It may be religion as such (the Dao)\, a pious life\, an inner state\
 , a spiritual transition\, and much else besides.\n\nThese and further que
 stions will be discussed in a comparative manner as a first exchange betwe
 en subprojects to individuate commonalities and divergences and find start
 ing points for subsequent common research.\n\nPlease contact the coordinat
 ion team if you want to take part in the workshop.

 -register until 12 July 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\
 , Berlin\, Rom\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast)\n\nCan histor
 ical network analysis contribute to our understanding of Chinese Buddhism?
  The talk will describe some of the methods and data currently available f
 or the application of formal network analysis. Formal network analysis in 
 this context denotes the analysis and visualisation of clearly defined\, c
 omputable network data. After an introduction to network analysis as a met
 hod\, the lecture will describe its application with the help of two case 
 studies. First\, we will look at a network region spanning the late 3rd an
 d early 4th centuries. The “Dao'an-Huiyuan-Kumārajīva Triangle” is a
  stable reference point\, which\, from a network perspective\, emerges as 
 the actual fountainhead of Chinese Buddhism. It will be argued that this f
 ormation was the immediate cause for the firm establishment of Mahāyāna 
 as the dominant form of Buddhism in China. Second\, a closer look at the n
 etwork region modeling the late 16th early 17 century reveals two distinct
  stages in the late Ming (1368–1644\, 明) Buddhist revival. Following t
 he Wanli (萬曆) revival brought about by a group of well-studied\, famou
 s monks\, the network perspective asserts the centrality of Miyun Yuanwu (
 1567–1642) and his students who came to dominate 17th century East Asian
  Buddhism. It can be argued that the Buddhism of Miyun's lineage differed 
 considerably from the syncretic\, inclusive Buddhist discourse of the “g
 reat monks” of the Wanli era.\n\n\nMarcus Bingenheimer is Associate Prof
 essor of Religion at Temple University\, Philadelphia. He specialises in t
 he history and historiography of Buddhism\, early sūtra literature\, and 
 computational approaches to research in the humanities. He has published a
  handful of books and more than fifty articles.\n\n\nTo join the lecture\,

DESCRIPTION:How has technology changed how we understand and perceive the 
 world? How we connect with each other and manage ourselves as individuals?
  As a global society\, we are only beginning to get to grips with tentativ
 e answers to these questions – and figuring out what the most useful que
 stions are to ask …    \n\nReligious movements have taken a variety o
 f approaches to new media\, sometimes being ‘early adopters of technolog
 y’ and using the media to great effect. Some social movements\, which ar
 e based almost entirely in online social networking spaces\, have been ide
 ntified as ‘cultic groups’ and ‘new religions’ in themselves.  \n
 \nImagery has an important role to play in the most recent forms of new me
 dia and new religiosity. Younger generations have claimed TikTok and Insta
 gram as ways to self-represent new forms of their own self-understanding a
 nd religiosity\, fostering an environment of support and positivity. Meanw
 hile some groups displaced by identity politics have embraced images of ed
 gy ‘cool’ encompassing a visual identification with white supremacist 
 and esoteric religious symbols\, while not necessarily interacting with es
 tablished religious organisations.  \n\nImagery plays a key factor for al
 l these internet representations\, as it is known to have an impact and in
 terpretive power over the viewer. Along with language\, imagery is noted a
 s the most important sign-mediating instrument of representation\, interpr
 etation\, and appropriation of the world. Yet\, the academic study of the 
 relationship between imagery\, new media and new forms of religiosity is o
 nly just beginning. This seminar will bring new and established researcher
 s together with practitioners and those helping survivors of ‘spiritual 
 abuse’ to address the following questions:  \n\n\n	What role does the v
 isual have on contemporary religious identification and practice?  \n	Wha
 t can we learn about new media and new religiosity from studying the image
 ry they employ?\n	How does the imagery in virtual forums relate to embodie
 d and material experiences\, protests\, activism and ‘real world’ choi
 ces?\n\n\nFor further information and registration please visit: https://i

 erview of the research project\, including its methodology and results\, 
 will be presented. The research focuses on the combination of various indi
 vidual and collective identities (religious\, sexual\, and feminist) and e
 xplores the personal experience of modern Ukrainian believers (present or 
 former) who self-identify as feminists and/or LGBT. When they experience s
 ome kind of “identity crisis” on a personal level\, do they turn to th
 eir respective religious communities for help or do they prefer to withdra
 w from them\, knowing that religious communities do not always tolerate fe
 minists or LGBT people? What strategies do feminist and LGBT believers use
  to reconcile competing identities? Are religious communities in Ukraine o

 ude them? These and other issues will be discussed in the presentation\, w
 hich will also include a brief introduction on the religious and human rig

DESCRIPTION:What makes the study of religion a scientific enterprise? Atte
 mpts to offer satisfying answers to this question have been part of the ac
 ademic study of religion ever since the end of the 19th century. However\,
  as one might suspect\, one can find very different views with regard to t
 his.\n\nIn this presentation the lecturer will concentrate on two particul
 arly interesting examples. First\, how the scientificity of research is un
 derstood in the evolutionary and cognitive study of religion and secondly\
 , how it is understood in an older tradition that could be described as th
 at of the comparative history of religion. These two are particularly inte
 resting because they are also in direct and critical dialogue with each ot
 her.\n\nFurthermore\, he will also show how this is far from being merely 
 a theoretical debate and instead does have clear methodological consequenc
 es and even more interestingly\, has become an issue of disciplinary ident
 ity in the study of religion. Subsequently\, in the second part of the pre
 sentation\, the lecturer will highlight some of the ways how the study of 
 the history of the discipline has become more and more intertwined with di
 sputes over the scientific identity of the scholar. One can seriously ques
 tion the accuracy of such historical depictions\, but one also needs to as
 k what an academic discipline is actually like from a historical perspecti
 ve and therefore\, what the history of a discipline should actually focus 
 on.\n\nOverall\, it will be shown how concerns about the identity of the s
 cholar\, about the true scientific character of the researcher and about t
 he relevant history of the discipline are clearly intertwined in contempor
 ary study of religion.\n\nThe lecture will be conducted as a hybrid event.

 ademy)\n\nThe lecture will be available live at Zoom. Please pre-register
  until 28 June 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\
 , Rom\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast)\n\nLecture Series Ove
 rview:\n\nChinese scholarship on the Dunhuang Caves and materials from the
  so-called Library Cave\, one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 
 20th century\, has expanded rapidly over the past twenty years. An ever-in
 creasing number of academics\, research projects\, and publications have p
 rovided a wealth of scholarly resources for the field. This corpus of rese
 arch merits more attention from western scholars\, not just in Dunhuang St
 udies but from across a variety of disciplines in the humanities and socia
 l sciences. This series of six talks will explore this breath of Chinese s
 cholarship and provide a guide to major areas within Dunhuang Studies\, it
 s key scholars\, publications\, research projects\, institutions\, and tre
 nds.\n\nThis series of talks also takes an ethnographic approach on two le
 vels. The first is that Dunhuang materials\, given their range and diversi
 ty\, can be viewed as a coherent dataset\, the closest we have to an ethno
 graphic collection for medieval Eastern Central Asia. In this sense then\,
  they should be valued in their complex\, interdisciplinary entirety. Seco
 nd\, concentrating on Chinese Dunhuang research in the 21st century\, thes
 e talks also engage an ethnological approach to the academic realm in orde
 r to examine how subfields of Dunhuang Studies are delineated in light of 
 institutions and ongoing social forces. Availing my position as someone in
  the field of Dunhuang Studies working at a Chinese research institute\, I
  will provide on-the-ground observations through discussions with members 
 of the scholarly community in China (i.e.\, ‘thick description’)\, wit
 h an emphasis on the explanation of behaviour and agency that accepts emic
  categories of division of Dunhuang resources and analyses their origins a
 nd usages\, as well as how those categories may enhance or constrain resea
 rch together with the production of knowledge and its dissemination.\n\nEa
 ch of these lectures will systematically cover the following areas: \n\n\
 n	compilation and editing of primary source materials for all fields\n	maj
 or scholars and publications\, cooperative projects\n	research trends (the
 mes and topics)\n	reference and research tools\n\n\nFinally\, given the fr
 amework and sponsor of these talks\, the resources explored will be keyed 
 to the seven thematic research clusters of the BuddhistRoad Project (Cente
 r for Religious Studies\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum) to further scholarship
  on topics within the context of Eastern Central Asia and their relation t
 o Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nThis second talk explores recent Chinese 
 scholarship on the social contract at Dunhuang: governing structures\, sta
 tecraft\, foreign and ethnic relations\, economic compacts and trade\, as 
 well as lay-clerical relations. Also discussed is research on aspects of 
 ‘civil society’ which\, in the context of Dunhuang\, was largely organ
 ised through kinship relations as well as social and religious association
 s. At the heart of much of this research is a focus on the fundamental shi
 ft during the Tang and Guiyijun periods (7th–11th c.) that witnessed an 
 increasing vernacularisation in terms of patronage together with a shift f
 rom aristocratic elites with connections to the Chinese heartland to more 
 bureaucratic and local modes of governance.\n\n\nNeil Schmid is Research P

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Percy Arfeen-Wegner: Building Traditions of Sacred 
 Spaces in Kerala: Some Insights on Elevations\n\nHybrid Event\n\nAbstract\
 n\nSacred spaces in the Indian subcontinent have been predominantly classi
 fied according to religious affiliations\, whereby\, Brahmanical (Hindu)\,
  Buddhist and Jaina spaces are considered ‘Indic’ whilst mosques\, chu
 rches\, and synagogues\, are ‘foreign’. Considering epigraphic evidenc
 e of the presence of these communities in the Malabar can be traced back t
 o at least a millennium\, this research questions if sacred spaces can be 
 approached as distinct categories at all\, in a pluralistic society like t
 hat of the Malabar which has witnessed a symbiotic existence of varied rel
 igious communities. This presentation aims to contextualize mosques\, chur
 ches\, and synagogues in premodern and early modern Malabar (c. 13th- 17th
  centuries) vis-à-vis that of the so-called ‘Indic’ sacred spaces. Th
 e presentation will demonstrate that building traditions of sacred spaces 
 were deeply rooted in regional knowledge bases\, that were never divided i
 nto categories that could only be accessed through exclusive religious aff
 iliations. However\, considering that the Malabar engaged in sustained mar
 itime trade relations since premodernity\, there is also a remarkable tran
 scultural influence which is reflected in building traditions of these spa
 ces. These influences cannot be merely described as ‘transfer’ of tech
 nology as each and every technique and style has undergone prolonged phase
 s of experimentation before being customized to the specific needs of the 
 land\, be it climatic or aesthetic. The presentation will describe one cas
 e study to elucidate these networks.

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Neda Mohtashami: Conceptual Metaphor in the Zoroast
 rian Young Avestan Corpus: A Preliminary Study\n\nHybrid Event\n\nEschato
 logical ideas in Zoroastrianism are not evenly spread over the three mille
 nnia of its emergence and evolution. While later Middle Persian literature
  evidences a fully developed picture of both individual and collective esc
 hatologies\, the journey of the soul after death receives comparatively li
 ttle treatment in the Young Avestan corpus and a minimum\, if any\, in the
  oldest layer of Zoroastrian literature\, the Gathas. This presentation ai
 ms to discuss some of the issues confronting Avestan scholarship regarding
  the question of eschatology and its development. For this purpose\, the Y
 oung Avestan adjectival phrase anaγra- təmah-\, lit. ‘beginningless da
 rkness’ is chosen as case study. It will be shown how the problem of tra
 nslation imposes confusion in the determination of the target domain\, and
  the extent to which our understanding of the possible connotation of this
  term is influenced by the limited occurrences of the concept of darkness 
 (təmah-) in the Old and Young Avesta.

DESCRIPTION:BuddhistRoad Guest Lecture by Gábor Kósa (Budapest)\n\nThe 
 lecture is live available at Zoom. Please pre-register until 14 June 2022\
 , 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rom\, Stockholm\, 
 Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast) \n\nMānī (216–ca. 277 AD)
 \, the founder of Manichaeism\, was brought up in a Jewish-Christian commu
 nity at the end of the Arsacid Dynasty (247 BCE–224 CE). After several p
 rivate revelations\, he established his own religion\, which he and his di
 sciples propagated in the newly established Sasanian Iran. During his life
 time\, Mānī was surrounded by various religious traditions of the ancien
 t world and these traditions naturally left their traces on his religious 
 system. In 242 CE\, during his first mission to the eastern borders of the
  Sasanian Empire (224–651)\, Mānī encountered both Hindu ascetics as w
 ell as Buddhist and probably Jain monks. These encounters must have furthe
 r contributed to his approach to self-denial and self-discipline.\n\nSprea
 ding along the Silk Road\, Manichaeism arrived in China in 694\, where it 
 remained basically a religio licita until 842. After the Huichang persecut
 ion (842–845\, 會昌)\, Manichaeans found a relatively safe harbor in t
 he southeastern regions\, especially in Zhejiang (浙江)and Fujian (福
 建) provinces\, where they survived for centuries\, as reports from the S
 ong (960–1279\, 宋)\, Yuan (1279–1368\, 元) and Ming (1368–1644\, 
 明) Dynasties attest.\n\nDuring the 4th–9th centuries\, when Manichaean
  missionaries spread their teachings along the Silk Road\, Buddhism once a
 gain had a huge impact on the terminology of Manichaean scriptures that\, 
 meanwhile\, were translated into Parthian\, Chinese\, and Uyghur. These Ma
 nichaean translators used a translation technique that Mānī himself had 
 declared during his lifetime: one should make the original Manichaean cont
 ent sound familiar to the local inhabitants\, thus these newly translated 
 scriptures are replete with the unique expressions of the then highly popu
 lar Buddhist tradition(s).\n\nIn his presentation\, Kósa explores some Ch
 inese Manichaean scriptures from Dunhuang that use Buddhist and Buddhist-l
 ike metaphors\, as well as some Manichaean paintings that likewise apply B
 uddhist iconography to express their Manichaean message.\n\n\nGábor Kósa
  is a Historian of religion. He is Associate Professor at ELTE University 
 (Budapest)\, and specialises in Chinese religions. His recent publications
  include: Gábor Kósa\, “A Manichaean Pure Land. The Buddhisized Descri
 ption of the Realm of Light in the Chinese Manichaean Hymnscroll (cols. 26

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Domenico Agostini\, Tel Aviv University\n\nSp
 eculations about the end of days form an integral part of the Zoroastrian 
 tradition. In the Iranian context\, however\, apocalypse can have a narrow
 er definition\, that is\, it can be a genre strictly related to prophecies
  ex eventu of historical\, pseudo-historical\, and mythical events that wi
 ll occur at the end of the millennium of Zoroaster (the tenth out of twelv
 e according to a Zoroastrian history of the world). Apocalyptic narrative\
 , found mostly in Late Pahlavi literature (ninth-tenth century CE) also in
 cludes a series of characters and geographical references which reflect re
 al episodes in the history of Iran in the Late Sasanian and Early Islamic 
 period\, while being incorporated into the mythical frame of the coming of
  Ušēdar\, the first of the three future saviors.\n\nThis paper would tak
 e stock of the state of research so far\, remind you of some of the contro
 versial open questions that can be also related to other traditions\, and 
 give some examples of my current research methodology in the context of La
 te Antique and the Early Islamic Iranian apocalypse.\n\nThe lecture will b
 e conducted as a hybrid event.\n\nThis is the Zoom link.\n\n \n\n

 to explore\, discuss\, and analyze the ongoing path of women in leadership
  in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement in Ghana The main intent of my re
 search is to systematically analyze the stance taken by both the Ghanaian 
 classical and neo-Pentecostal/Charismatic traditions on women in ministry 
 and leadership roles. In addition\, I will point out parallels between the
 se two traditions of women’s leadership and how the leadership roles of 
 women have evolved over the years. I will then attempt to answer the quest
 ion of whether the different viewpoints are conditioned by culturally embe
 dded societal male hegemony. My work also seeks to dissect the Ghanaian so
 cio-cultural atmosphere and belief systems\, and its direct effects on the
  ability of women to climb the leadership ladder. Another important aspect
  is to present notable evidence of women’s achievement in ministerial an
 d leadership offices.

 n.\n\n_________________________________\n\nAbstract\n\nKorean elites of th
 e late Chosŏn period undertook journeys to places of natural beauty or hi
 storical significance to “leave the dust” of their mundane lives. Many
  personal records of such temporary escapes from everyday life are transmi
 tted in the form of travel- and place-related texts. Some of them recount 
 experiences of awe - a complex emotion felt in non-quotidian encounters wi
 th something vast\, such as looking down from a mountain or seeing a spect
 acular sunrise. Awe\, described by some as a self-transcendent emotion\, h
 olds the potential to change a person’s view of life and the self. Thus\
 , the texts are valuable sources for investigating how the individual conc
 eptualized the self in relation to the world\, what kind of language was u
 sed for this purpose\, and which (non-)religious traditions informed it. T

DESCRIPTION:Mit der Einwanderung jüdischer Kontingentflüchtlinge nach De
 utschland schließt sich ein Kreis. Sie kamen zurück in die deutschen Lan
 de\, aus denen ihre Vorfahren vor langer Zeit während und nach den Pogrom
 en der mittelalterlichen Kreuzzüge und der großen Pest geflohen waren. "
 Aschkenas" steht bei jüdischen Gelehrten des Hochmittelalters für die de
 utschen Lande\, das erste Siedlungsgebiet von Jüdinnen und Juden in Nordw
 esteuropa\, vor allem an den Ufern des Rheins. Das Jubiläum über mehr al
 s 1700 Jahre jüdisches Leben in Deutschland muss diesen Ausgangspunkt jü
 disch-aschkenasischer Kultur in das historische Gedächtnis zurückrufen.\
 n\nAuch die Zeit mit ihrer wechselvollen Geschichte im Aufnahmegebiet von 
 Polen-Litauen und den späteren Ansiedlungsrayons des Zarenreiches gehöre
 n wie das Schicksal der sowjetischen Juden in der Shoah und nach dem Krieg
  heute zur Geschichte jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland. Deutschland hat se
 it 1990 ungefähr 2\,5 Mill. Menschen aus den Staaten der ehemaligen Sowje
 tunion aufgenommen. Neben den russlanddeutschen Spätaussiedler:innen kame
 n - aufgrund einer ursprünglich am Runden Tisch der DDR geborenen Idee - 
 auch ungefähr 200.000 Jüdinnen und Juden als Kontingentflüchtlinge in d
 ie Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Neben dem Anspruch "der Verantwortung unser
 er eigenen deutschen Geschichte" gerecht zu werden\, gehörte auch die "Re
 vitalisierung des jüdischen Elements im deutschen Kultur- und Geisteslebe
 n" zu den Wünschen\, die die deutsche Politik mit der Aufnahme verband.\n
 \nBei den damaligen politischen Entscheider:innen wie auch in der Öffentl
 ichkeit war neben der Shoah im Übrigen über die Geschichte und Herkunft 
 des aschkenasischen Judentums aus der Sowjetunion\, ihre mittelalterliche 
 Flucht- und Wanderungsgeschichte so wenig bekannt\, wie über die antijüd
 ischen Verfolgungen unter Stalin\, die sowjetische Tabuisierung des Gedenk
 ens an die Opfer der Shoah und die aufgeheizte antisemitische Stimmung zum
  Ende der Sowjetunion. Russlanddeutsche und aschkenasische Jüdinnen und J
 uden sind zwei verschiedene soziale Gruppen und keinesfalls identisch. Abe
 r betrachtet man die kulturelle und geografische Herkunft beider Gruppen\,
  ihre Schicksale nach Weltkrieg und Shoah rechtfertigt dies eine Schlechte
 rstellung jüdischer Kontingentflüchtlinge nicht.\n\nDie Fachtagung wird

 until 24 May 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, 
 Rom\, Stockholm\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Peking)\; 8 am (East Coast) \n\nLecture
  Series Overview:\n\nChinese scholarship on the Dunhuang Caves and materia
 ls from the so-called Library Cave\, one of the greatest archaeological fi
 nds of the 20th century\, has expanded rapidly over the past twenty years.
  An ever-increasing number of academics\, research projects\, and publicat
 ions have provided a wealth of scholarly resources for the field. This cor
 pus of research merits more attention from western scholars\, not just in 
 Dunhuang Studies but from across a variety of disciplines in the humanitie
 s and social sciences. This series of six talks will explore this breath o
 f Chinese scholarship and provide a guide to major areas within Dunhuang S
 tudies\, its key scholars\, publications\, research projects\, institution
 s\, and trends.\n\nThis series of talks also takes an ethnographic approac
 h on two levels. The first is that Dunhuang materials\, given their range 
 and diversity\, can be viewed as a coherent dataset\, the closest we have 
 to an ethnographic collection for medieval Eastern Central Asia. In this s
 ense then\, they should be valued in their complex\, interdisciplinary ent
 irety. Second\, concentrating on Chinese Dunhuang research in the 21st cen
 tury\, these talks also engage an ethnological approach to the academic re
 alm in order to examine how subfields of Dunhuang Studies are delineated i
 n light of institutions and ongoing social forces. Availing my position as
  someone in the field of Dunhuang Studies working at a Chinese research in
 stitute\, I will provide on-the-ground observations through discussions wi
 th members of the scholarly community in China (i.e.\, ‘thick descriptio
 n’)\, with an emphasis on the explanation of behaviour and agency that a
 ccepts emic categories of division of Dunhuang resources and analyses thei
 r origins and usages\, as well as how those categories may enhance or cons
 train research together with the production of knowledge and its dissemina
 tion.\n\nEach of these lectures will systematically cover the following ar
 eas: \n\n\n	compilation and editing of primary source materials for all f
 ields\n	major scholars and publications\, cooperative projects\n	research 
 trends (themes and topics)\n	reference and research tools\n\n\nFinally\, g
 iven the framework and sponsor of these talks\, the resources explored wil
 l be keyed to the seven thematic research clusters of the BuddhistRoad Pro
 ject (Center for Religious Studies\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum) to further 
 scholarship on topics within the context of Eastern Central Asia and their
  relation to Chinese Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nThis talk provides an overview
  of Dunhuang Studies in China as it stands in 2022\, laying the groundwork
  for the five talks to follow\, each of which will cover specific fields o
 f research in China\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong. Beginning with a brief overv
 iew of the development of Dunhuang Studies in China in the 20th century\, 
 this lecture then explores how Chinese scholarship is situated in a series
  of academic frameworks\, including research networks\, trends\, instituti
 ons\, and government-funded projects. The second part of the talk then exa
 mines recent research in the fields of geography and history\, that will i
 n turn establish a foundation for the five following lectures.\n\n\nNeil S
 chmid is Research Professor at the Dunhuang Academy. His scholarship centr
 es on Dunhuang and explores a range of topics\, including the role of Budd
 hist literature in ritual and art\, medieval economic development\, Esoter
 ic Buddhism (Chin. mijiao\, 密教)\, and the ritual aesthetics of paintin
 g and architectural space of the Mogao Caves. He is currently at work on s
 everal monographs\, including From Byzantium to Japan: Ritual Objects and 
 Religious Exchanges Across Eurasia in Late Antiquity\, tracing the flow of
  exotic goods and ritual paraphernalia along the Silk Road\, and the first
 -ever critical bibliographical survey of Dunhuang materials\, entitled The
  Comprehensive Guide to Scholarly Resources for Dunhuang Studies.\n\n\nTo

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Chris I. Beckwith\n\nScholars have long attem
 pted (on the whole\, unsuccessfully) to make sense out of the somewhat ran
 dom information available in Herodotus and other ancient sources on Scythi
 an religion.\n\nAt the same time\, the topic of Scythian philosophy has be
 en ignored\, presumably because it is assumed that there was no such thing
 . However\, the first attested philosophers (in the modern sense of the wo
 rd) were all Scythians\, and their rather advanced philosophical methods a
 nd conclusions appear to have developed out of traditional Scythian religi
 ous ideas.\n\nThis lecture first analyzes the Scythians’ traditional rel
 igious thought based on the ancient sources. It then considers the thought
  of their earliest philosophers: Anacharsis the Scythian (fl. ca. 592–58
 9 BC)\; Zoroaster (fl. ca. 620 BC)\; Gautama  Buddha ‘the Scythian Sage
 ’ (Śākyamuni\, fl. ca. 500 BC)\; and Laotzu\, a Hu (胡) ‘Scythian
 ’ who taught in China (fl. ca. 400 BC)\, based on the earliest attested 
 reports.\n\nThe connections and distinctions between the Scythians’ meta
 physically focused religious beliefs and their logical-epistemological phi
 losophical thought will be discussed.\n\nPlease contact Sabrina Finke if y
 ou want to participate in the lecture.

 _____________________________\n\nAbstract\n\nMy project is about metaphors
  of conversion in Latin Late Antiquity (mid-3rd to mid-6th century AD). It
  understands 'conversion' as the religiously interpreted process of holist
 ic reorientation („religiös gedeuteter Prozess ganzheitlicher Umorienti
 erung“\, Bischofberger [1998] 1228) of an individual\, which is expresse
 d in conversion to another conception of god(s) (e.g. Paganism\, Manichaei
 sm\, Christianity\, New Platonism)\, an interreligious grouping (e.g. Vale
 ntinianism\, Gnosticism\, Montanism)\, a (more radical) religious way of l
 ife such as (desert) asceticism or consecration to virginity\, or a change
  of life brought about by repentance. Metaphors are thereby examined as el
 ementary components of the linguistic toolkit for communicating ideas of c
 onversion. In this presentation\, I will share some of my current reflecti
 ons: I will single out two source domains\, seafaring and childbirth\, and
  offer reflections on their literary use. These examples will lead to some
  broader questions regarding theoretical and methodological issues in hist
 orical metaphor theory.

DESCRIPTION:Veronika Eufinger: Production of Urban and Rural Christian Spa
 ces. Contemporary Case Studies from Gemany and the United States\n\nHybrid
  event\n\nZoom-Link\n\nMeeting-ID: 643 3690 7423\nPasswort: 112702\n\n____
 __________________\n\nAbstract\n\nToday’s talk offers a glance into the 
 second case study from my dissertation on Urban Spaces of Christianity. Ba
 sed on the sociological assumption of the social production of space\, I r
 econstruct the way Christianity produces urban space and how Christian spa
 ces are shaped by the city. In this regard\, the (contested) religious sem
 anticization and actualization of space as well as the occupance of space\
 , the collision and the overlapping of spaces in one place are concerned. 
 Based on Lefebvre’s theory of the three-part production of space (Lefebv
 re\, 2015) and his definition of urbanity by centrality as it’s social f
 orm (Lefebvre\, 2016) the case studies are analyzed by sequence analysis f
 rom the methodological vantage point of objective hermeneutics with refere
 nce to Oevermann’s foundations.\n\nIn last year’s colloquium\, I talke
 d about The Pope’s homily on the ethics of urbanity and Jesuanic socio-s
 patial practices as the model of a Christian city topology: The homily und
 erlined two fundamental orders of the case structure of urban Christian sp
 ace production. First\, the basic Christian motive of meaning making\, the
  reversal of values\, also reverses the secular order of centrality and pe
 riphery by establishing a model of Christian centrality. Second\, the mode
 l operates with a dynamic of spacing and de-spacing of religion.\n\nToday\
 , I will talk about three cases from Stuttgart\, Hamburg and Chicago to en
 compass the delimiting background\, which is (implicitly) used to define t
 he urbanity of urban Christian spaces. Urbanity gains its meaning through 
 the demarcation from a historically changing counter-position (Sonne\, 201
 7) and urban religion historically arose through a process of interchange 
 with "non-urban practices and ideas\," with city and country standing "in 
 continuity as well as competition\, as attraction or as antithesis" (Rüpk
 e\, 2019).

 ID: 643 3690 7423\nPasswort: 112702\n\n___________________________________
 ___________\n\nAbstract\n\nMy PhD project examines both Manichaean cosmolo
 gy and cosmogony as such and in comparison with that of Zoroastrianism. Th
 e topic is significant because it concerns not only individual salvation\,
  but the entire religious system. Since its discovery\, Manichaeism has be
 en predominantly considered as an "imitator"\, especially towards Zoroastr
 ianism: in accordance with this view\, Manichaean cosmology has also been 
 considered as a mere copy of the Zoroastrian conception of the cosmos\, th
 e description of which we find in the Pahlavi books\, especially in the Bu
 ndahišn. The project attempts to find a common background between these t
 wo religions and to clarify how Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism shaped cosm
 ological knowledge into two different systems. After an introduction to Ma
 nichaean cosmogony and cosmology and some preliminary remarks on the simil
 arities and differences with Zoroastrianism\, the presentation will focus 
 on explaining the project and discussing its methodology\, theoretical fra
 mework\, and research goals.

 intrinsic\, relative\, and absolute.This lecture aims to identify the old 
 Iranian absolute frame of reference. After a short explanation of differen

 how that the ancient Iranians did not use the four geocentric cardinal poi
 nts of east\, west\, south and north as the cardinal directions of their a
 bsolute frame of reference\, as research has implicitly taken for granted 
 so far. The evidence\, conversely\, suggests that the old Iranian absolute
  frame of reference was constituted by the sunrise and sunset points of th

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Prof. Dr. Carmen Meinert (Central Asian Religions) 
 as part of the lecture series "Eine Religion kommt selten allein: Streifz
 üge durch die Religionsgeschichte". The online lecture will be presented 
 in German. After the lecture English questions\, however\, are welcomed in
  the CERES YouTube channel.\n\nThe misconceptions about what lies behind t
 he term Tantra are very numerous in contemporary Western societies. With o
 ffers such as ritual massages and introductions to spiritual sexual practi
 ces\, certainly  one can earn a lot of money\, but one does not necessari
 ly accomplishes salvation\, the attainment of Buddhahood. What did Tantric
  Buddhist ritual practice look like in the 12th century\, as it was practi
 sed in the caves of Dunhuang and in other remote places\, perceived as sac
 red spaces\, along the so-called Silk Road in Central Asia? I would like t
 o take you on a journey through time and give you an impression of Buddhis
 t reality of life and religious experience by applying the concept of tran
 scendence-immanence distinction developed in the KHK to historical visual 
 and textual materials from Central Asia.\n\n\nCarmen Meinert is Professor 
 for Central Asian Religions and PI of the ERC project BuddhistRoad at CERE
 S\, Ruhr-Universität Bochum\, Germany. Trained in Buddhist Studies\, Tibe
 tan Studies\, and Sinology\, she aims to develop the field of Central Asia
 n religions more systematically and to integrate Central Asian and Tibetan
  Studies in the larger framework of Comparative Religious Studies. Her rec

DESCRIPTION:The first DiGA workshop aspires to establish and consolidate d
 ialogue among scholars variously engaged in South Asian studies and Digita
 l Humanities. Drawing sharp borders between disciplines and fields of rese
 arch negatively affects the progress of knowledge\; at DiGA we advocate fo
 r interoperability and exchange. \n\nThe DiGA project does not intend to 
 exist in isolation\; it aims at exploring similar initiatives\, focusing o
 n the common objective of bringing collections to the Digital Space. The f
 irst DiGA workshop wants to showcase examples of best practice in South As
 ian studies in connection to the use of digital tools for dissemination\, 
 sharing and preservation of cultural heritage. Such an approach has long b
 een adopted for manuscripts studies both in Buddhist and Brahmanic context
 s\; these results and ongoing endeavors cannot be ignored by archaeologist
 s and art historians. This is particularly relevant when bridging collecti
 ons of images and texts\, one of DiGA's objectives. Key to the interoperab
 ility between databases of collections originally in various media is the 
 implementation of vocabularies.\n\nThe DiGA workshop is organized in four 
 thematic sessions and includes two roundtables for end of the day discussi
 ons. Our project will be introduced at the opening\, then the floor for th
 e following sessions is left to invited experts. The first session\, devot
 ed to Gandharan studies\, will present recent studies and projects dedicat
 ed to this specific cultural area from the point of view of material cultu
 re. In the second session renowned experts in Digital Humanities will shar
 e their best practices and present a range of digital possibilities that h
 ave the potential to improve research in Gandharan studies and more broadl
 y in South Asian studies. The third session includes projects focused on S
 outh Asia to surpass over-compartmentalization and aiming at a full interc
 hangeability of data. The fourth and last session\, is dedicated to curren
 t projects of Digital Humanities in Greater Gandhara and Central Asia\, an
 d shows how this field continuously progresses into the Digital Space. DiG
 A is already part of a network of DH applied to Buddhist studies\, but int
 ends to further cultivate its network\, opening to other facets of digital
  South Asian studies\, archaeology\, art history\, Indology. The sessions 
 are split over two days\, and\, on both days\, discussions will be concent
 rated in group roundtables that will invite participants to converse about
  selected topics. A key objective of the roundtables is to generate a netw
 ork of scholars sharing common views on the future of South Asian studies 
 and to build a community with a common interest in the intersection betwee
 n South Asian Studies and Digital Humanities.\n\n\nPlaces are only availab

DESCRIPTION:Vortrag von Licia DiGiacinto im Rahmen der Online-Ringvorlesun
 g "Eine Religion kommt selten allein: Streifzüge durch die Religionsgesch
 ichte"\n\nDaoismus — die Lehre des Weges oder daojiao 道教 — ist heu
 te eine der fünf offiziell anerkannten Religionen der Volksrepublik China
 s und bildet eine starke religiöse Gemeinde in Taiwan. Auch im Westen (vo
 r allem in den USA) findet man Zentren und Hallen\, die dieser Religion ge
 widmet sind.\n\nDer Daoismus blickt auf eine lange Geschichte zurück\, ei
 ne Geschichte die\, die chinesische Kultur massiv geprägt hat und die Ima
 gination des Westens fasziniert hat. Die Rekonstruktion dieser Geschichte 
 stellt auf mehreren Ebenen eine Herausforderung dar: Bereits im 19. Jahrhu
 ndert\, als Friederich Max Müller (1823-1900) sein Projekt Sacred Books o
 f the East startete begann und James Legge (1815-1897) die Übersetzungen 
 von den Grundtexten des Daoismus — vor allem das Laozi — anfertigte\, 
 wurde die frühe Geschichte des Daoismus als eine Umwandlung von Philosoph
 ie zu Religion gelesen. Dieser Ansatz ist allerdings in der letzten Zeit i
 mmer wieder problematisiert worden.\n\nIn der Auseinandersetzung mit Theme
 n wie Mystik oder frühe religiöse Praktiken des Daoismus wird deutlich\,
  dass es mehr Kontinuitäten zwischen der postulierten Zeit der "Philosoph
 ie" (die letzten Jahrhunderte v. u. Z.) und der Epoche der Religion (ab de
 m 2. Jh.) gab. Die zentrale Frage\, wie der Daoismus enstanden ist\, kann 
 mit Hilfe der Religionssoziologie und einem Blick auf Kommunikation als Le
 itkategorie neu beantwortet werden. Wenn Religion religionssoziologisch ge
 dacht als Sphäre der Gesellschaft\, die durch Kommunikation entsteht und 
 operiert\, zu verstehen ist\, dann ist die Entstehung des Daoismus auch al
 s Bildung und Entwicklung von religiösen Inhalten (als Kommunikationsbaus
 teine) nachvollziehbar. Und wenn die religiösen Inhalte als grundlegend g
 elten\, dann ist die Geschichte des Daoismus eine äußerst verflochtene G
 eschichte\, eine Geschichte die nicht ohne den Blick auf interreligiöse K
 ontakte zwischen Daoismus\, Konfuzianismus und Buddhismus  rekonstruierba
 r ist.\n\nDer Vortrag versucht anhand dieses religionssoziologischen Ansat
 zes die Entstehung des Daoismus neu zu bewerten und zwischen jenen\, die e
 ine Zäsur zwischen der philosophischen Frühphase und der Religion sehen\
 , und jenen\, die allein die Kontinuitätslinie unterstreichen\, zu vermit
 teln. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:Vortrag von Kianoosh Rezania (Westasiatishe Religionsgeschicht
 e) im Rahmen der Online-Ringvorlesung "Eine Religion kommt selten allein: 
 Streifzüge durch die Religionsgeschichte"\n\nEs gibt Vorstellungen\, die 
 scheinen einfach unsterblich. Dieser Vortrag widmet sich einer solchen rel
 igiösen Vorstellung vom Tode\, in der die Seele der Verstorbenen ihren tu
 gendhaften Taten in Gestalt einer wunderbaren Jungfrau\, der sogenannten S
 chauseele Daēnā\, begegnet. Entstanden ist diese Vorstellung in der zoro
 astrischen Individualeschatologie des antiken Persiens und sie nahm ihren 
 Weg ab der Spätantike in andere Religionen wie den Manichäismus und dem 
 Islam. Diese Vorstellung überlebte - freilich mit Veränderungen - mehrer
 e tausend Jahre.\n\nDer Iranist Kianoosh Rezania führt zunächst in die r
 ituelle Konzeption des Zoroastrismus ein\, die dieser Vorstellung von dem 
 was nach dem Tode passiert\, zugrundeliegt. Er zeigt dann auf\, wie sich d
 araus eine zoroastrische Individualeschatologie in der Antile entwickelte.
  Chronologisch zeigt der Vortrag anhand des sasanidischen textlichen und i
 konographischen Materials die Verbreitung und die Beliebtheit der postmort
 alen Begegnung der Seele mit der Daēnā in der Spätantike - einer Zeit\,
  in der diese Vorstellung auch Eingang in die religiösen Traditionen des
  Manichäismus und wenig später in den frühen Islam fand\, wo sie bis h

 oom lecture times: 4 pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rom\, Stockholm\, Wien)\; 10
  pm (Peking)\; 10 am (New York\, Toronto\, Miami)\n\nThe selling and buyin
 g of human beings as slaves were highly sensitive\, controversial\, and pr
 ofitable on the trading networks along the Silk Road. Manuscripts excavate
 d from Cave 17 in Dunhuang (敦煌) and tombs in the Astana graveyard in T
 urfan contain records documenting how Buddhist institutions and individual
  monks and nuns were involved in the slave trade as buyers\, owners\, sell
 ers\, and transaction witnesses.\n\nExamining lawsuits\, contracts\, and d
 eathbed testaments concerning slave ownership related to Buddhist monks an
 d nuns\, this article explores what roles the Buddhist clergy had played i
 n the slave trade on the Silk Road\, and the legal implications of such in
 volvement. It shows that despite disapproval of slave ownership in Buddhis
 t canon law and strict regulations on slave trade in laws of the Tang Dyna
 sty (618–907\, 唐)\, Buddhist monks and nuns showed little concern over
  these restrictions when participating in the trading of slaves in the loc
 al markets in Dunhuang and Turfan.\n\nWhen ownership of their personal sla
 ves was challenged\, they were not reluctant in seeking legal intervention
  by initiating lawsuits in the lay court. In these practices\, such Buddhi
 st monks and nuns have received evident support from the secular legal sys
 tem. The local government not only placed official seals on a Buddhist mon
 k’s market certificate of slave purchase filled with abusive terms\, but
  also ruled in favor of a Buddhist nun to protect her rights as the adopti
 ve mother but ignored her enslavement of a free commoner’s daughter\, a 
 severe crime against the Tang law.\n\n\nCuilan Liu is a scholar of Buddhis
 t studies. She is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the Universi
 ty of Pittsburgh. Her research focuses on the legal interaction between Bu
 ddhism and law. Her recent publications include: “Buddhism in Court: Cle
 rical Privileges and the Jurisdiction of the Buddhist Clergy in Indian Bud

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Chung-pui Tai (Hong Kong)\n\nThe lecture is a
 vailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 07 December 2021\, 12 pm.
 \n\nVajravārāhī is often the object of visualisation in the Six Yogas o
 f Naropa (Tib. nA ro’i chos drug) and the Mahāmudrā\, the pillars in t
 he Kagyu (Tib. bka’ brgyud) teaching of Tibetan Buddhism. The cult of Va
 jravārāhī became popular among the Tanguts with the introduction of Tib
 etan Buddhism between the 11th and 13th centuries. A Vajravārāhī Cave w
 as built at Liangzhou (涼州)\, on the outskirt of the present-day city o
 f Wuwei (武威)\, in 1130 CE during the reign of Emperor Chongzhong (r. 1
 087–1139\, 崇宗). This cave is a good illustration of the cult of Vajr
 avārāhī in the Tangut territory. The thangkas discovered among the Tang
 ut antiques from Khara-Khoto also contain images of Vajravārāhī alone o
 r paired with Cakrasaṃvara. However\, the most critical evidence of the 
 cult of Vajravārāhī is the Tangut translation of Buddhist texts on Vajr
 avārāhī. This talk aims to provide an overview of Tangut Buddhist manus
 cripts related to Vajravārāhī. The talk will explore the content of the
 se manuscripts. It will also discuss the role of Tangut Buddhism in the tr
 ansmission of the cult of Vajravārāhī in the region.\n\n\nChung-pui Tai
  is a Tangutologist and a Teacher Educator. He is Assistant Professor at t
 he Faculty of Education of the University of Hong Kong and specialises in 
 Tangut manuscripts and Chinese language education. His recent publications
  include: Chung-pui Tai\, “Decipherment of Tangut Fragment with Tibetan

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Cécile Ducher (Paris)\n\nThe lecture is avai
 lable live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 24 November 2021\, 12 pm.\n\
 nThe spread of Buddhism to Central Asia in the early second Millennium\, a
 nd particularly the introduction of Tibetan tantric traditions from the La
 ter Spread (Tib. phyi dar) within the Tangut State is one of the fields st
 udied at the CERES. This presentation aims to give insights into one of th
 ese traditions\, the Ngokpa Kagyü (Tib. rNgog pa bKa’ brgyud)\, that pl
 ayed an important role in Central Tibet in the 12th and 13th centuries\, a
 nd is now shown to have had some influence on the Tangut Buddhist culture.
  Ngok Chödor (1023–1090\, Tib. rNgog Chos rdor) was one of Marpa Lotsab
 a’s (1000?–1081?\, Tib. Mar pa lo tsā ba) four main disciples\, along
  with Milarépa (1040–1136\, Tib. Mi la ras pa)\, whose disciple Gampopa
  (1079–1153\, Tib. sGam po pa) had many disciples who gave rise to the v
 arious Kagyü (Tib. bKa’ brgyud) sub-schools (one of them\, the Barom Ka
 gyü (Tib. ’Ba’ rom bka’ bgryud) and its representative\, Tishri Ré
 pa (1164/65–1236\, Tib. Ti shri Ras pa)\, was especially active among th
 e Tanguts). Chödor had a son\, Ngok Dodé (1078–1154\, Tib. rNgog mDo s
 de)\, who became Marpa’s main successor and established the Ngok traditi
 on as the legitimate holder of Marpa’s teaching\, in the form of a famil
 y lineage based in Central Tibet. Several of his successors travelled to E
 astern Tibet and may have at that time encountered Tangut disciples who la
 ter spread the Ngok approach in their country.\n\nThe presentation will be
  divided into two main parts. First\, some elements of the history of the 
 Ngok lineage will be shared with the hope to shed some light on how the Ng
 ok tradition may have entered the Tangut State and how influent it was at 
 that time in Tibet in general. Then\, the main transmissions taught and pr
 acticed in the Ngok lineage\, the so-called ‘seven maṇḍalas of the N
 gok\,’ will be presented\, with a particular emphasis on what characteri
 zes each of these tantric teachings and the main features of its iconograp
 hy.\n\n\nCécile Ducher is a Tibetologist and independent researcher assoc
 iated with the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l’Asie orien
 tale (CRCAO) in Paris. She specialises in the study of religious history a
 nd Tantric Buddhism\, particularly of the Marpa Kagyü tradition. Her rece

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by David Pritzker (Chicago)\n\nThe lecture is av
 ailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 09 November 2021\, 12 pm.\
 n\nIn keeping with aims of the BuddhistRoad project the present lecture wi
 ll explore the relevance of the Silk Road in the establishment and present
 ation of Buddhism and Kingship in West Tibet. The end of the Tibetan Empir
 e’s Pugyal Dynasty (Tib. sPu rgyal\, 7th to 10th c.) and the beginning o
 f the kingdom of Tö Ngari Korsum (Tib. sTod mNa’ ris skor gsum) in West
  Tibet is symbolically embodied in the escape of the royal son Kyi de Nyim
 a Gön (Tib. sKyid de Nyi ma mgon\, d. ca. 930) from the maelstrom of revo
 lt and collapse in Central Tibet. As the bridge between old and new\, Kyi 
 de and his heirs carried the authority and legacy of the Pugyal Tsenpo (Ti
 b. spu rgyal brtsan po) towards the Highlands of West Tibet (ca. 910). But
  this was not simply a direct transfer from Central Tibet to West Tibet\, 
 rather on closer examination of textual and art historical material it bec
 omes clear that this transformation was one that was directly informed by 
 the major Buddhist centers along the Silk Road\, from Dunhuang and the Hex
 i Corridor in the East to greater Kashmir and the Wakhan Corridor in the W
 est. In this light\, the presentation will uncover a West Tibetan kingdom 
 deeply influenced by the Silk Road.\n\n\nDavid Pritzker is the director of
  the Pritzker Art Collaborative\, Chicago\, and is also a Research Fellow 
 at the Art Institute of Chicago. Most recently he has co-curated the exhib
 ition "Cultural Exchange Along the Silk Road: Masterpieces of the Tubo Per
 iod (7th – 9th Century)"\, with Wang Xudong\, director of the Palace Mus
 eum and former director of Dunhuang Academy. The exhibition opened on July
  2\, 2019 and ran until October 22\, 2019 at the Dunhuang Academy Exhibiti
 on Center. More than 461\,000 people visited the show. He received his PhD
  from the University of Oxford with a focus on early textual history and h
 istoriography in Tibet. Since 1996\, in collaboration with China’s Natio
 nal Cultural Heritage Administration and together with Sichuan University\
 , Pritzker has been exploring\, documenting\, and researching early sites 
 of the Purang-Guge Kingdom (Tib. sPu hrangs Gu ge\, ca. 10th c.) in West T
 ibet.\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register here https://ruhr-uni-boc

  the ruler of East Uyghur Khanate (ca. 744–840\, also known as Uyghur St

 hur elite continued to embrace this tradition even when their empire on th

 . But around the year 1000\, the Uyghurs converted to Buddhism\, the domin
 ant religion among their subject peoples—the Chinese\, Sogdians\, and To
 charians—and would remain Buddhist until their conversion to Islam centu
 ries later.\n\n\nJohan Elverskog explores the Uyghurs’ conversion in the
  larger context of Eurasian geopolitics and the contemporary messianic bel

 The Mogao Caves (Chin. Mogao ku 莫高窟) contain dozens of miniature cav
 es dating from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods. Though at 1/10th the s
 ize and thus too small to hold any ritual practice\, these miniature caves
  replicate in perfect detail the visual programs of larger caves. Scholars
  have neglected these diminutive creations as a distinct phenomenon\, and 
 as of yet no research exists on the topic. This talk provides the first th
 orough analysis of these small-scale caves\, outlining their typologies an
 d content\, as well as their distribution among larger caves. Crucial to t
 his exploration is the concept of scale in medieval Chinese religion and a
 rt\, and its importance in revealing how such caves functioned conceptuall
 y and ritually. Finally\, through a detailed comparison of form and visual
 ity\, we explore how it is impossible to fully understand the Mogao Caves 
 as a sacred site without full consideration of these striking miniatures.\
 n\n\nNeil Schmid is Research Professor at the Dunhuang Academy. His schola
 rship centres on Dunhuang and explores a range of topics\, including the r
 ole of Buddhist literature in ritual and art\, medieval economic developme
 nt\, Esoteric Buddhism (Chin. mijiao\, 密教)\, and the ritual aesthetics
  of painting and architectural space of the Mogao Caves. He is currently a

DESCRIPTION:Dzogchen is a Tibetan Buddhist contemplative tradition that em
 phasizes effortlessness as a key fea-ture of its doctrinal architecture an
 d meditative programme. Non-striving thus represents one of the central re
 search questions examined in the “Dzogchen” project\, which is sponsor
 ed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and is based a
 t the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum
 . The present workshop seeks to explore this theme in a broader framework\
 , by looking at it comparatively from the viewpoints of a number of religi
 ous traditions.\n\nMany traditions of contemplative practice\, whether the
 y be Buddhist or of other religious origin\, emphasize the need to purify 
 the tendencies towards outer and inner forms of distraction. This leads to
  a state of (outward) solitude\, which can (but need not necessarily) be t
 emporarily and spatially delimited. Solitude thus provides a framework for
  actual contemplation or absorption\, the central task of the contemplativ
 e life (= inner solitude). Although contemplation is usually presented as 
 the result of a strenuous process of gradual renunciation and effort\, the
  higher stages of contemplative practice often underscore the fact that wi
 lful striving can be an obstacle to true contemplation. In such an optic\,
  wilful striving eventually gives way to a suspension of effort and opens 
 up to a state of inner letting-be.\n\nThe meaning (and the precise order) 
 of this threefold structure (solitude – contemplation – letting-be) is
  presented differently according to various contemplative traditions. It p
 rovides a fruitful field for a comparative religious enquiry\, one in whic
 h both the commonalities and differences between traditions of mystical pr
 axis can be explored. This workshop will provide a forum for experts to di
 scuss this theme from the perspectives of the following traditions of myst
 ical praxis: Dzogchen\, Tantra\, Mahāmudrā\, Chan/Zen\, Pure Land Bud-dh
 ism\, Daoism\, Kashmiri Shaivism\, Judaism\, Christianity\, and Sufism.\n\

 ailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register here until 21 July 2021\, 12 pm.
 \n\nSince Paul Demiéville published his study on the Dunwu dasheng zhengl
 i jue 頓悟大乘正理决 [The Judgement on Sudden Awakening Being the T
 rue Principle of Mahāyāna] in Le concile de Lhasa in 1952\, many scholar
 s have contributed to the discussion about related issues by closely study
 ing relevant Tibetan materials\, which include PT 823/1\, PT 827/2\, PT 11
 6\, bSam gtan mig sgron [The Eye-Lamp for Meditation]\, Cig car ’jug pa 
 rnam par mi rtog pa’i bsgom don [The Meaning of the Sudden Entry into No
 n-Conceptual Meditation]\, dBa’ bzhed [The Testament of Wa]\, etc. This 
 presentation demonstrates that the Tibetan materials have enabled us to re
 evaluate the composite nature of the Judgement and to extrapolate a ‘deb
 ate’ process underneath the seemingly disorderly questions and answers. 
 For instance\, a large portion of the Judgement should be understood as Ch
 inese translations of original Tibetan queries\; owing to the existence of
  translation procedures\, miscommunication between Kamalaśīla (ca. 740
 –795) and Moheyan (fl. 786–794\, 摩訶衍) did at times happen. A mor
 e nuanced understanding of the Judgement also makes it possible to reconci
 le the narrative in the Judgement with some of the elements in the now wel
 l-studied dBa’ bzhed.\n\n\nYi (Allan) Ding is Assistant Professor at the
  Department of Religious Studies at DePaul University\, Chicago. He has pu
 blished several articles that deal with Buddhist materials from Dunhuang o
 r Sino-Tibetan Buddhism\, including “‘Translating’ Wutai Shan into R
 i bo rtse lnga (‘Five-Peak Mountain’): The Inception of a Sino-Tibetan
  Site in the Mongol-Yuan Era (1206–1368)” Journal of Tibetology 18 (20

 ses on the zhai feast and relevant liturgical scripts from the sixth to th
 e tenth century.\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register here https://r

DESCRIPTION:This is the 3rd and final conference of the BuddhistRoad proje
 ct\, which has been creating a new framework to understand the dynamics of
  cultural encounter and religious transfer across premodern Eastern Centra
 l Asia. This conference shares these aims\, with first a new focus on the 
 complex interactions between Buddhism and non-Buddhist traditions\, and se
 cond a deepening of the traditional focus on Buddhist doctrines. Between t
 he 6th and 14th centuries\, as Buddhism continued to spread along the so-c
 alled Silk Road and strengthen its position in many of the nodes along the
  way\, it encountered other religions\, from both east and west\, indigeno
 us traditions of interacting with superhuman beings\, and novel non-religi
 ous technologies. Buddhist travellers\, missionaries and converts had to n
 egotiate\, accept\, adapt\, or reject these influences\, and they all had 
 impacts on local forms of Buddhism to a lesser or greater extent. A key pa
 rt of the new Buddhist traditions created by these processes were altered 
 worldviews\, beliefs and creeds that were authorised by means of teaching 
 and the passing down of orthodoxy. Thus\, although doctrines and the impac
 t of non-Buddhist influences are discussed on separate days of this confer
 ence\, there is much scope for dynamic overlapping of topics and exciting 
 cross-fertilisation of dialogue throughout\n\nThe conference is held onlin
 e and on invitation only.\n\nConference programme

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Charles DiSimone (Ghent)\n\nThe lecture is av
 ailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 07 July 2021\, 12 pm\n\nTh
 e three-hundred-year period spanning the 6–8th centuries of the Common E
 ra was a time of Buddhist predominance throughout the area known as Greate
 r Gandhāra encompassing modern Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan and Nort
 hern India. A testimony to the strong Buddhist influence in this period ma
 y be seen in the numerous manuscript materials from this time and area tha
 t have been uncovered throughout the last century\, and which are still ap
 pearing into the present. These manuscripts were copied in two distinct sc
 ripts\, Gilgit/Bamiyan Type I (sometimes referred to as Round Gupta Brāhm
 ī) and Gilgit/Bamiyan Type II (also known as Protośāradā) and may be r
 eferred to collectively as ‘Gilgit/Bamiyan Type Manuscripts’. They wer
 e produced on birch bark folios with carbon-based ink by an unclear number
  of what appear to have been professional scriptoria located variously aro
 und Greater Gandhāra\, and the manuscripts were then collected into cache
 s. The content of the manuscripts comprise Buddhist works of both Mahāyā
 na (predominantly sūtras) and Mainstream (predominantly āgama\, vinaya\,
  and avadāna) views. Taking examples from a number of collections of thes
 e Gilgit/Bamiyan Type Manuscripts\, in this talk I will present observatio
 ns on the methods and techniques employed by scribes in the copying of the
 se manuscripts\, the production of the birch bark folios that made up the 
 material support of the manuscripts\, and the spread of these manuscripts 
 both within Greater Gandhāra and beyond.\n\n\nCharles DiSimone is an FWO 
 Postdoctoral Researcher at Ghent University. He received his doctorate fro
 m Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and has held positions at the B
 uddhist Digital Resource Center\, LMU Munich\, and Mahidol University. His
  research primarily focuses upon the applications of philological\, codico
 logical\, and critical analysis of Buddhist sūtra manuscripts and literat
 ure\, both Mahāyāna and Mainstream. Recent publications include research
  on scribal practices in the Gilgit area and Greater Gandhāra and a forth
 coming book on the (Mūla-)Sarvāstivāda Dīrghāgama manuscript (Wisdom 
 2021).\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register here https://ruhr-uni-bo

DESCRIPTION:After twelve fruitful years of exploring\, discussing\, and cl
 assifying religious contact phenomena\, the research program of the Käte 
 Hamburger Kolleg Dynamics in the History of Religions between Asia and Eur
 ope came to its natural end in March 2020.\n\nThe KHKʼs final conference 
 “Step Back and Look Beyond: Studying Religion after 2020” has two aims
 : First\, it provides a platform on which to reflect on the KHKʼs achieve
 ments\, the benefits of its contact-centered approach as well as related c
 hallenges. Second\, the conference brings together an international group 
 of renowned scholars who will take a step back from their current research
  and reflect upon the theoretical paradigms and methodological approaches 
 that enrich their own research. The conference thus gives a place to ponde
 r about the ways in which these approaches fit into the general study of r
 eligion and its rich history. Will these ways continue to shape the field 
 in the future? What other promising ways to do research on religion are on
  the horizon? How do such new approaches fit into the field as a whole?\n\
 nPresentations will either focus on one particular approach or paradigm (a
 nd its empirical usage) or reflect on the overall state of the field and i
 ts possible future.\n\nLatest version of the conference program here (as o

 ntil 8 June 2021\, 12 pm.\n\nAmong the many Tangut Buddhist texts discover
 ed in Karakhoto there is one entitled sew2 ˑjij1 ˑo2 śjij1 dźju1 sji2 
 lju̱2 tshjịj2 -------- [The Ornament which Clarifies the Introduction t
 o Speculative Thinking]\, recorded as Tang. 314 in catalogues of Tangut Bu
 ddhist texts. The work is attributed to Master Bodhi-Diligence of Central 
 Tibet (Tang. lji2 phə1 gu2 lhjịj2 po1 tjɨj1 ˑjɨr2 dzji̱j2 --------)
 \, which attests to its Tibetan origin. The fact that several fragments of
  different manuscripts of this work have been identified bespeaks the popu
 larity of this work in the Tangut Tangut Empire (ca. 1038–1227\, in Chin
 ese sources known as Xixia 西夏). This work\, consisting of at least eig
 ht volumes in its Tangut translation\, was presumably a long Tibetan treat
 ise. With regard to the authorship\, we are probably on relatively solid g
 round to argue that this work was composed by the renowned Kadam (Tib. bka
 ’ gdams pa) master Maja Jangchup Tsöndrü (d. 1185\, Tib. rMa bya Byang
  chub brtson ’grus). Therefore\, the Tangut translation sheds important 
 light on the Buddhist histories of the Tangut Empire and Tibet during the 
 12th and 13th centuries\, especially on the transmission and assimilation 
 of the early Kadam scholasticism. Remarkable features of the fragments\, s
 uch as the Chinese numerals and Tibetan letters alongside the Tangut lines
 \, reveal to some degree the practice of such scholasticism in the Tangut 
 Empire as well.\n\nZhouyang Ma is currently a PhD. candidate in Inner Asia
 n and Altaic Studies\, Harvard University. His dissertation project examin
 es the rise of Tibetan Buddhism in the Tangut Empire in the 12th and 13th 
 centuries\, focusing on the transmission of the Sangphu (Tib. gsang phu) s
 cholasticism. He has been trained as a scholar in Tibetan Studies ever sin
 ce his undergraduate education. He also became interested in Tangut Studie
 s because the tons of Tangut manuscripts embody the gate to a fascinating 
 world of intellectual exchanges\, cultural innovations\, and social plural
 ity.\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register at  https://ruhr-uni-bochum

 .\n\nIn Tibetan classical sources\, the two Chinese princesses arrived in 
 Tibet during the 7th and the 8th centuries are consistently presented as h
 aving played critical roles in introducing and promoting Buddhism in Tibet
 . These sources\, dating as early as the 11th and the 12th centuries\, pro
 vide an image of two the princesses as active patrons of Buddhism and thus
  perpetuate an image of two women incarnating the role of legitimisers of 
 Buddhism’s presence in Tibet up to the present. Nevertheless\, old Tibet
 an sources\, in particular Dunhuang Tibetan documents and Chinese sources\
 , official histories as well as other official texts\, never mention the p
 roclivity of Princess Wencheng and Princess of Jincheng towards Buddhism n
 or detail any specific religious activities of the two princesses. This pr
 esentation surveys references to the two princesses in early Tibetan and C
 hinese sources in order to go beyond this fundamental discrepancy between 
 ancient and classical sources and to understand the continuities and diver
 gences lying behind these texts. The goal of this presentation is also to 
 provide the evolution of the image of Princess Wencheng and Princess of Ji
 ncheng in Tibetan and Chinese historiography.\n\nEmanuela Garatti is resea

 vailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register here until 25 February 2021\, 1
 2 pm.\n\nStein painting 3 (Ch.xxxviii.005) at the British Museum is a silk
  painting with a symmetrical composition of two Avalokiteśvara figures fa
 cing each other. With 147.3 × 105.3 cm in size\, this is among the larger
  paintings from Dunhuang. At the top centre of the composition\, between t
 he two figures is a donor inscription inside a yellow cartouche. The inscr
 iption contains no date but has been dated to the mid-ninth century on the
  basis of a supposed reference to the Tibetan control of the region. Imre 
 Galambos examines the inscription and argues that it does not refer to th
 e Tibetan rule of Dunhuang but is simply about a woman who lives away from
  her original home. His presentation also shows that we can improve on th
 e reading of the inscription\, which in turn modifies our translation. In 
 view of these considerations\, the manuscript almost certainly dates to th
 e tenth century.

 ermas had interpreted the history of social and philosophical modernizatio
 n as “linguistification of the sacred”. In his most recent major work 
 Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie (2019)\, he places a clearly differen
 t emphasis on the role of the phenomenon of the sacred for the development
  of modern societies. The so-called "sacred complex" is now seen as an ant
 hropological deep-seated mechanism\, which in the event of crises of commu
 nicative socialization can assume a kind of “deficiency guarantee” in 
 terms of ritual performances.

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Assoc.-Prof. Dr. Roy Tzohar (Tel Aviv Univers

 , paradoxically seen as both obstructive and necessary for liberation. As 
 a case study\, this talk will present the ingenious response to this tensi
 on from the Yogācāra school of Indian Buddhism\, arguing that all langua
 ge-use is metaphorical. Exploring the profound implications of this claim\
 , as well as its broader Indian scholastic context\, Tzohar will make the 
 case for viewing the Yogācāra account as a full-fledged theory of meanin
 g\, one that is not merely linguistic\, but also applicable both in the wo
 rld as well as in texts.\n\nThe lecture is open to all members of the univ

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Alberto Cantera (Free University Be
 rlin).\n\nIt is a feature of the Indo-Iranian pantheon the deification of 
 a series of abstracts nouns like Vedic arámati-\, Avestan ārmaiti "fiiti
 ng though\, devotion". In the last years\, it has been proposed that some 
 of these abstract nouns designate specifically some ritual attitudes or ac
 tions. Thus\, it has been proposed that the frauuaṣ̌i\, the pre-existent
  immortal soul of human beings\, refers exactly to the recitation of the F
 rauuarāne\, a section that opens each Zoroastrian ritual and in which the
  priest announces his ritual "elections" (for which god he is performing t
 he ritual\, according to which model\, at what time and with which priestl
 y college). Some years ago\, Cantera proposed that one of the most complex
  concepts of the Zoroastrian tradition\, daēnā\, refers originally to a 
 ritual process. Av. daēnā has an astonishing broad semantic range\, from
  "a woman that appears to the soul after death"\, to "tradition" or even "
 religion". According to my interpretation\, it refers to the "vision" obta
 ined in the course of the main Zoroastrian liturgy\, in which the intervie
 ws between Ahura Mazdā and Zaraθuštra are "seen" which are the basis of
  the whole Zoroastrian textual tradition. Furthermore\, the pre-senter is 
 going to advance a new interpretation of the name of the main Zoroastrian 
 god\, mazdā\, according to which it also refers to a specific attitude of
  the priest during the ritual.

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Gerrit Lange (Marburg University)\n\nIn the 
 Indian Central Himalayas\, several metaphors are employed to conceptualize
  śakti\, the "force" or (emotional) intensity of divine presence. When Na
 iṇī Mātā\, a village goddess of Pindar valley\, travels through the r
 egion for six months\, she takes the form of a clothed bamboo pole - her n
 iśān ("token") which is believed to be the goddess herself\, and to be m
 oved by her śakti. One among several forms in which this śakti emerges i
 s ākarśaṇ\, an "attraction"\, "magnetism" or "urge" hindering her carr
 iers to carry her along and leave behind a village to which the Goddess is
  said to feel emotional attachment. Both mechanical and emotional\, this "
 attracting force" oscillates between metaphor (the "magnetism" or "attract
 ion" of love) and metonymy (an actual force which can be countered by the 
 paraphysical mechanisms of mantras\, drum patterns and songs used to make 
 her move). Insofar these metaphors remain unspoken\, can we speak of "nonv
 erbal" metaphors? And is film editing\, itself involving the nonverbal met
 aphors of montage\, an adequate means to analyse such metaphors?\n\nThe le
 cture is open to all members of the university and academic audiences. Ple

 ognitive theories of metaphor\, as well as other theoretical discussions o

 hnographic case studies that cosmologies not only shape pollution beliefs\

 mologies. The metaphorical bases of cultural cosmologies and taxonomies of

 \n\nManuscripts are not only bearers of texts but also artefacts. Beyond c

 g through the manuscripts falling into Chos grub’s intellectual ‘legac

 pts with this certain type of script and\, moreover\, serves as the benchm
 ark for further recognition of Chos grub’s works.\n\nChanna Li is curren
 tly a Post-doc Research Associate in IKGA\, the Austria Academy of Science
 s. With a Ph.D. at Leiden University in 2019\, her fields of interest rang
 e widely from the Buddhist cultures and materials along the Silk Road (esp
 . Dunhuang\, Kizil)\, to the significance of Buddhist narratives in helpin
 g us visualise the ideological history of Buddhism in ancient India\, Chin
 a\, and Tibet. She also focuses on Buddhist Mahāyāna translations made b

DESCRIPTION:St. Yared is one of the most renowned local saints of the Ethi
 opian Orthodox Church. He traditionally lived during the reign of the 16th
  century Ethiopian monarch Gäbrä Mäsqäl and is credited with the compo
 sition of numerous elements of Ethiopian Orthodox liturgical music and hym
 ns. The Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jews) identify this holy man as a membe
 r of the Betä Ǝsraʾel community. According to both the Ethiopian Orthod
 ox and the Betä Ǝsraʾel religious tradition\, he spent the last years o
 f his life in (or near) the Sǝmen Mountains. These mountains were\, betwe
 en the 15th and 17th centuries\, partially governed by Betä Ǝsraʾel ru
 lers\, and the site of wars waged between the Betä Ǝsraʾel and the Chri
 stian Ethiopian Solomonic kingdom. Various sites in these mountains are as
 sociated with St. Yared.\n\nThis lecture will examine and compare the Ethi
 opian Orthodox and Betä Ǝsraʾel religious traditions regarding St. Yare
 d. An attempt will be made to identify and pinpoint the various sites in t
 he Sǝmen Mountains dedicated to him\, and to determine the role of these 
 sites with regards to both religious communities. In addition it will show
 case how to do field reserach in times of a pandemic: Youtube\, Facebook\,
  and by e-mails.

DESCRIPTION:Event canceled \n\nDeutsches Haus at NYU and University Allian
 ce Ruhr present a discussion among Courtney Bender (Columbia University)\,
  Martin Radermacher (Ruhr-University Bochum)\, and Avinoam Shalem (Columbi
 a University) on the evolution of religious architecture in New York City 
 and the Ruhr area and the transformations in society that drive these chan
 ges in the urban landscape.\n\nThe architectural presence of places of wor
 ship such as synagogues\, churches\, or mosques is often taken for granted
  due to its material persistence. Nonetheless\, in contested urban space r
 eligious communities often need to make and claim space\, keeping up with 
 transformations of their urban environments and societal contexts. While i
 n cities such as New York religious plurality seems self-evident\, the pos
 ition of built religion is not at all straightforward. Real estate decisio
 ns\, for example\, always carry theological and religious valences. In Ger
 many’s metropolitan Ruhr area\, massive demographic and societal transfo
 rmations have affected religious diversity and the ways in which religious
  actors interact with each other in the urban space. But the current lands
 cape of built religion on both sides of the Atlantic is not merely a resul
 t of demographic and real estate developments. The construction of new mos
 ques\, a reorientation in synagogue architecture\, the sale\, demolition o
 r reuse of former places of worship have all contributed to a changed visi
 bility of religious architecture and its place in contemporary urban areas
 . Religious studies and art history experts from New York and the Ruhr are
 a will take a comparative look at the material forms of religious traditio
 ns in contemporary urban space and discuss the social and cultural context
  from which these religious architectures have evolved.\n\nMore informatio
 n here.

 t nutzen digitale und soziale Medien\, um ihre Inhalte zu verbreiten. In O
 nline-Computerspielen werden religiöse Inhalte behandelt und inszeniert. 
 Religion ist in den digitalen Medien angekommen. Der Papst twittert\, die 
 Gebets-App klingelt und religiöse Szenarien in digitalen Spielen sind kei
 n Einzelfall. In dem Workshop beschäftigen wir uns damit\, wo Religion in
  digitalen Medien auftritt\, warum religiöse Gruppen das Internet nutzen 
 und wie Religion im Internet untersucht werden kann\n\nDer Boys' Day richt
 et sich an Schüler der Klassenstufen 8 bis 10.\n\nMehr Informationen hier

 \nThe course taught at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) in winter 
 term of 2019/20 covers the urban conditions of religious formations with a
  special focus on New York City. It relates to research activities of CERE
 S and is also of thematic interest in the Department of Religion (Columbia
  University). During the course\, students have developed individual resea
 rch questions about which they can do fieldwork when coming to NYC. The ci
 ty is one of the most religiously diverse places in the world\, and home t
 o religious communities from Roman-Catholic Christian\, a variety of Hindu
  or Muslim traditions\, to New Age and spiritual movements\, or adherents 
 of more recent deities like Santa Muerte (“Our Lady of Holy Death”).\n
 \nAt the end of term\, the Bochum class travels to New York City. Besides 
 doing individual field research\, they will meet up with students and staf
 f at Columbia University\, presenting each others’ projects and discussi
 ng the urban presence of religions in New York City. They will also take p
 art in a public lecture event at New York University\, organized in cooper
 ation with New York Office of the University Alliance Ruhr.\n\nThe partici
 pation is limited to students that enrolled in the course.

 welve fruitful years of exploring\, discussing\, and classifying religious
  contact phenomena\, the research programme of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg 
 Dynamics in the History of Religions between Asia and Europe will come to 
 its natural end in March 2020.\n\nThe final conference has two aims: First
 \, it wishes to provide a platform on which to reflect on the KHK's achiev
 ements\, the benefits of its contact-centered approach as well as related 
 challenges. Second\, the conference brings together an international group
  of renowned scholars who will take a step back from their current researc
 h and reflect upon the theoretical paradigms and methodological approaches
  that enrich their own research. The converence thus gives a place to pond
 er about the ways in which these approaches fit into the general study of 
 religion and its rich history. Will these ways continue to shape the field
  beyond 2020? What other promising ways to do research on religion are on 
 the horizon? How do these approaches fit into the field as a whole? Will t
 hey continue to shape the field beyond 2020?\n\nPresentations will either 
 focus on one particular approach or paradigm (and its empirical usage)\, o
 r reflect on the overall state of the field and its possible future.\n\n

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The Sasanian Empire and the territories both controlled or inf
 luenced by later\, various Iranian dynasties\, were host to numerous relig
 ious groups\, who interacted on multiple levels within the religious field
 : in magical practices\, concerns for purity\, prayers for rain and other 
 rituals\, often in their efforts to create clear boundaries between one co
 mmunity and another.\n\nThis workshop examines the relationship of Jews in
  west and central Asia from late antiquity to the nineteenth century in or
 der better understand the patterns of encounter between various denominati
 ons of Jews (Rabbanite\, Karaite\, and Isawiyya)\, and Jews with Zoroastri
 ans\, Manichaeans\, and various types of Christians and Muslims. The role 
 of religious affiliation and competition in trading partnerships\, ritual 
 practice\, popular literature\, magic\, among other topoi\, are all potent
 ial foci\, however\, of particular interest is the cross-fertilization bet
 ween Jewish ideas and movements and those of other religious affiliations.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Victor Khroul (Moscow/Bochum)\n\nExamining th
 e 'digital' as a challenge to one of the most traditional sphere of privat
 e and public life of Russians\, the lecture is focused on institutional as
 pects of the religion digitalization in the theoretical frame of mediatiza
 tion. Normatively\, digitalization as such does not contradict the dogmati
 c teaching of any traditional for Russia religion\, in Christianity\, Juda
 ism\, Islam and Buddhism theologically it is being considered as a neutral
  process with good or bad consequences depending on human will. Therefore 
 functionally digital technologies are seen by religious institutions as a 
 shaping force\, one more facility (channel\, tool\, space\, network) for e
 ffective preaching. The distinction between 'religion online' and 'online 
 religion' evidently shows the domination – in terms of quantity and qual
 ity – of ‘religion online’ with packaging old content into new forma
 ts and adjusting it up to new channels and platforms while the core of rel
 igious practices still remains based on non-mediated interpersonal communi
 cation.

SUMMARY:Interreligious Relations in Early Southeast Asia: Encountering Bud

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two or three decades\, scholarship on Southeast 
 Asia has largely contributed to the reappraisal of the process of ‘India
 nisation’ of the region. Though not standardized and having changing mea
 ning according to Indian and Western academic cultures\, this paradigm can
  be broadly understood as the diffusion and adoption of Indian cultural va
 lues to Southeast Asia from the first few centuries following the turn of 
 the Common Era onwards. Critical of this India-centric model\, scholars ha
 ve proposed alternative approaches to the study of interactions between So
 uth and Southeast Asia which have oscillated between two poles: that of ex
 ternalist influence on the one hand and that of the local or autonomous sp
 ecificity on the other hand.\n\nThese reflections are fed by archaeologica
 l discoveries and advances in the knowledge of textual and art historical 
 sources which have highlighted a continuum in exchanges between South and 
 Southeast Asia since at least the 5th century BCE. Furthermore\, archaeolo
 gical findings bear witness to the importance of Southeast Asian agency in
  the diffusion of local models across Asia. In consequence\, in the last d
 ecade\, approaches have encouraged to focus on the circulatory dynamics of
  transfer of cultural\, religious\, diplomatic and economic values through
  maritime trade routes across Asia. Some have even posited a new “Monson
  Asia” or “Maritime Asia” paradigm which conceives South and Southea
 st Asia as part of an integral cultural oikumene with a shared background 
 of human\, intellectual\, and environmental history.\n\nAgainst the framew
 ork of these second-order reflections\, the workshop will investigate diff
 erent levels of relationship between Hindu\, Buddhist and non-Indic religi
 ons during ancient and early medieval times. It will examine issues relate
 d to the multi-directional transfer of mythologies\, belief-systems\, prac
 tices and material culture between the Indian sub-continent and what is co
 mmonly referred to as Southeast Asia. In this respect\, it aims at sheddin
 g further light on the agencies in the spread of religious concepts and ma
 terial objects\, the dialectics between their received and assigned or rei
 nterpreted meaning\, and the modifications brought about by their adoption
  and/or adaptations.\n\nWorkshop programme

 ate academic documents including footnotes and automatically formatted bib
 liographic references which can be converted into various formats includin
 g DOCX\, high-quality PDF\, and HTML. The online journal Entangled Religio
 ns now uses Markdown to format all incoming submissions and create the fin

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on a virtually unstudied topic: how did 
 Muslim thinkers perceive and imagine Jewish-Christian interaction? Whereas
  studies on Muslim views of Christianity and Muslim views on Judaism aboun
 d\, there are no studies dealing with the questions of whether and how Mus
 lims authors (historians\, exegetes\, legal scholars\, littérateurs etc) 
 reflected on the historical and imagined relations between Jews and Christ
 ians.\n\nRecent research suggests that the Qur’an alludes to and critici
 zes Jewish-Christian polemical exchanges\, which would not be surprising c
 onsidering the vehemence of Jewish-Christian confrontation in the 6th-7th 
 century Near East. In later centuries the relation between Judaism and Chr
 istianity was discussed by Muslims in the context of discussions about the
  corruption of scripture\, the Qur’an’s denial of Christ’s crucifixi
 on and the possibility of naskh\, abrogation of religious laws\, while in 
 modern times Muslim thinkers have explored links between Western Christian
 s and Zionism.\n\nThe workshop will bring together scholars of different a
 reas within Islamic and Arabic studies\, who will discuss relevant writing
 s\, in the hope of furthering our understanding of interreligious interact
 ion in the Islamic world and of the development of Islam’s self-image in
  relation to competing religious communities.\n\nWorkshop program

DESCRIPTION:The workshop will explore the ways in which tales\, whether ex
 pressed in written\, oral\, theatrical or other visual form\, were transfo
 rmed as they crossed from one cultural realm to another\, and then were us
 ed as a way of explaining\, incorporating or resisting other cultures. In 
 particular we wish to examine ways in which dominant\, often invading cult
 ures attempted to insert themselves into the cosmologies of those they wis
 hed to conquer\, and how in turn\, these cultures transformed their own co
 smological understandings to account for and often resist the rhetoric of 
 the others\, designed to push for changes in religion\, rituals\, and mora
 l behaviors.\n\nWorkshop program

DESCRIPTION:Discussions and disputes about the reality\, role and importan
 ce of analytic constructs such as ‘world-view’\, ‘religious traditio
 n’\, or ‘culture’ seem endemic to the academic study of religion. De
 spite decades of often harsh critique\, such concepts seem to be idealizat
 ions hard to do without\, functioning as they do\, as means to capture and
  direct attention towards apparent conceptual and behavioral continuities.
  But how do we model these local stabilities without falling into the trap
  of reification and cultural determinism? Taking its point of departure in
  the so-called “epidemiology of representations” proposed by Dan Sperb
 er\, this lecture will investigate an understanding of religion as an exam
 ple of an (emerging) “culturo-immunological” system\, that regulates t
 he boundaries of human cooperative and communicative units. Inspired by di
 scussions in theoretical biology of what constitutes and organism and by n
 eurocognitive models of ‘Predictive Processing\,” I shall tentatively 
 present a model of how cultural systems\, such as religions\, stabilize an
 d how specific cognitive and social processes immunize these systems again
 st both internal semantic decay and external destructive forces.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The workshop addresses these questions from an interdisciplina
 ry perspective. Resulting from the joint organizational effort of CERES (C
 enter for Religious Studies) and CAIS (Center for Advanced Internet Studie
 s) of Ruhr Universität Bochum\, it will put in conversation scholars in t
 he field of religion and in the field of media studies\, offering opportun
 ities to bring together and confront different methodological and theoreti
 cal approaches:\n\nReligion in contemporary Europe is undergoing dynamic a
 nd compelling changes: for example\, migrations are changing the religious
  landscape\, creating the need for minorities to enter in public debates\;
  discrimination and racism compel scholars to reflect on the role of media
  and free speech\; the risk of radicalization of certain minorities is an 
 urgent social and political issue. These changes often regard contacts bet
 ween religious groups\, involving minorities that have to confront mainstr
 eam religiosity and different religious traditions that coexist in the sam
 e environment.\n\nDigitalization has a central impact on these religious c
 hanges. As digital media became increasingly pervasive in the European pub
 lic sphere\, interpersonal relations and cultural actions are inevitably c
 onditioned by the presence of the Internet. Religious groups address each 
 other and frame their identities through digital spaces\, which are often 
 intertwined with physical spaces.\n\nHowever\, scholars still need to find
  compelling methods and theories to address the ethical and social consequ
 ences of digitalization on religious groups and religious contact. While\,
  in certain circumstances\, existing methods and theories in media and rel
 igious studies can prove useful\, there are some questions to be explored:
  How can scholars collect data about digital religion and analyse them? Wh
 ich framework can better capture the role of the Internet in relation to r
 eligious contact? What kind of impact does digitalization have on religion
 \, and how can it be analyzed?\n\nWorkshop Program

DESCRIPTION:The workshop will be opened by Edward G. Slingerlands talk on 
 "Body and Mind in Early China: Embodied Cognition\, Digital Humanities\, a
 nd the Project of Comparative Philosophy". It is commonly claimed that min
 d-body dualism is entirely foreign to China—or “the East” more gener
 ally. This talk will explore how engaging with the cognitive sciences and 
 digital humanities undermines claims such as this\, and more broadly can h
 elp us to do our work as scholars of comparative philosophy. Embracing an 
 embodied view of human cognition gets us beyond strong social constructivi
 sm and its accompanying cultural essentialism. In addition\, new tools fro
 m the science and digital humanities can\, in combination with traditional
  archaeological and textual evidence\, allow us to more accurately and rig
 orously assess claims about the philosophical and religious historical rec
 ord. Specifically\, Prof Slingerland will focus on novel large-scale textu
 al analysis techniques\, online databases for sharing scholarly knowledge\
 , and work in contemporary evolutionary anthropology and cognitive science
  relevant to the mind-body issue. Prof slingerland will conclude by consid
 ering how early Chinese views of mind-body relations do\, in fact\, differ
  from some modern Western conceptions\, and how taking a more reasonable v
 iew of cultural differences can allow us to genuinely learn from other cul
 tures.\n\nWorkshop programme

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:This workshop brings together scholars in the fields of late a
 ntique and medieval magic and Kabbalah in the Mediterranean world and West
 ern Asia to study the role of religious contacts in their historical conte
 xts. The conference advances a three-fold programmatic approach:\n\n\n	Fir
 st\, its participants are invited to consider the composite nature of prim
 ary sources of ancient\, late-antique\, and medieval of “magic” and Ka
 bbalah as texts documenting the accumulations of practices and ideologies 
 underlying rituals of power. As a result\, the first approach aims to unco
 ver paths of circulation and patches of accumulation of these documents.\n
 	Second\, the scholars are invited to discuss historical instances of late
 -antique and medieval magic and Kabbalah as instances of mutual influence\
 , exchanges\, and appropriations among various historical religious tradit
 ions. As such\, this approach encourages the participants to explore the m
 alleable role of “tradition” and “change” in the discourses associ
 ated with practices of ritual power and invocations of divine names.\n	Thi
 rd\, the scholars are invited to undertake analyses of the materiality ass
 ociated with rituals of power in various ancient and medieval Jewish and C
 hristian traditions. In doing this\, the third programmatic approach seeks
  to highlight the role of materiality in the transmission of occult religi
 ous traditions\, such as magic and Kabbalah.\n\n\nThe outcome of this work
 shop will be a special issue dedicated to the above approaches\, to be pub
 lished in the Journal Entangled Religions in 2020.\n\nWorkshop Program

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The word text derives – as it is commonly known – from lat
 . texere\, to weave. Letters often consist of or are arranged in lines\, a
 nd the Latin word linea\, we learn from anthropologist Tim Ingold\, origin
 ally appears to have meant a thread made from flax\, linum. „If line“\
 , Ingold assumes\, „began as a thread rather than a trace\, so did text 
 begin as a meshwork of interwoven threads.“ (Ingold 2007:61). In differe
 nt parts of the world\, religious tradition is called a „thread“: in C
 hinese\, for example\, the word for „canon“ is related to the vertical
  threads of a cloth.\n\nIn German\, we speak of the „red thread“ witho
 ut which any narration or argument would fall apart. Red threads\, on the 
 other hand\, are distributed to Jewish visitors of the Western Wall in Jer
 usalem and brought along to all parts of the world. In Islamic theology\, 
 the foundations of creed are called ʿaqīdah\, a word derived from the ve
 rb ʿqd meaning „to make knots“. Knots (ʿuqad) are also mentioned in 
 the penultimate Surah of the Qur’an\, where refuge is sought from the wo
 men who perform magic by ‚blowing on the knots‘. From Eastern Europe t
 o Central Asia one can find the tradition of binding pieces of cloth or th
 read into trees\, and in the hills of Istanbul\, there is a saint called T
 elli Baba\, father with the threads\, from whose grave pilgrims cut pieces
  of silver thread to come back later\, when a prayer has been accepted\, i
 n order to leave a piece of thread on the grave themselves.\n\nMany more e
 xamples for the importance of threads and textiles in religious practices 
 and for weaving\, knotting\, spinning\, binding and untying as recurrent m
 etaphors in religious texts could be mentioned. While networks\, fabric an
 d other textile metaphors are prominent in the metalanguage of the social 
 sciences (think e.g. of Clifford Geertz’ definition of man as an „anim
 al suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun“)\, the wide ra
 nge of textile metaphors in religious communication is only rarely dealt w
 ith in its own right. The aim of this workshop is therefore to shed light 
 on textile aspects of religion (from textile to text and back) by focusing
  both on threads and textiles as vital elements in religious practices and
  on textile terminologies in religious texts. The workshop will start with
  the guest lecture by Prof. Tim Ingold (Chair of Social Anthropology\, Uni
 versity of Aberdeen\, author of Making: Archaeology\, Anthropology\, Art a
 nd Architecture\, 2013 and Lines: A Brief History\, 2007). Prof. Ingold wi
 ll also be present during the sessions of the following day. All CERES res
 earchers are most welcome to contribute by presenting a part from their ow
 n work related to textile.\n\nWorkshop programme

DESCRIPTION:Guestlecture by Ruixuan Chen (Heidelberg)\n\nThis talk present
 s some preliminary findings of a codicological and historical investigatio
 n of a pair of wooden tablets that used to function as the covers of the m
 ain manuscript of the famous Book of Zambasta. While the book is well know
 n as one of the most important sources for Khotanese Buddhism\, the covers
 \, bearing bilingual inscriptions which are every bit as interesting as th
 e book itself\, have not yet received due attention. This talk approaches 
 this pair of book covers as written artifacts having social lives in their
  own right. Drawing parallels from a variety of Buddhist manuscript cultur
 es in the trans-Himalayan regions\, efforts will be made to shed new light
  on their materiality and its relevance to the persistent exchanges of rel
 igious ideas and material cultures across the Pamir mountain ranges throug
 hout the second half of the first millennium.\n\nPicture: © Depositum der

DESCRIPTION:At the present moment\, Russian national identity seems to sol
 idify around the celebration of Slavic civilisation\, Orthodox Christianit
 y\, conservative values and a new imperial consciousness. In this emerging
  image of the nation\, little recognition is given to the ethnic and relig
 ious minorities with their respective histories and traditions. Although n
 ewer studies exist that take a critical view of the colonial past and the 
 (post-)colonial present\, certain pre-conditions are taken for granted\, t
 hus rarely causing scholars to engage with questions about the political r
 esponsibility for the ethnic minorities\, their rights and possibilities o
 r the imagination and (re-)making of the land and its peoples. In the fram
 ework of this conference\, we wish to focus on instances of contact betwee
 n different ethnic and religious groups and particularly between Orthodox 
 Christianity on the one hand and Islam\, but also Buddhism and animistic t
 raditions on the other\, as these situations capture the clash of contrary
  outlooks\, the negotiation of culture and history and the struggle for th
 e right to define specific territories. The papers to be presented reflect
  upon constellations of ethnic and religious contact both in contemporary 
 times and the Soviet period\; yet in some instances they also conjure the 
 Tsarist imperial past.\n\nWorkshop programme

DESCRIPTION:In early modern times the Baltic region was a contested territ
 ory. Situated between the Lutheran kingdoms of Sweden and Denmark\, Cathol
 ic Poland-Lithuania\, and the Orthodox Russian empire\, the region itself 
 did not belong to any single domain entirely. The only constant factor was
  the local Baltic German Lutheran nobility\, which retained its privileges
  in the administrative\, judicial\, and religious sphere.\n\nAs elsewhere\
 , there have been numerous studies focusing the various religious minoriti
 es that existed in the region. However\, rather little research has scruti
 nized inter- and intra-religious contacts\, most of which included the pri
 vileged Lutheran Church of the Baltic Germans. The workshop aims at reeval
 uating the early modern Baltic region as an eminent place for the study of
  religious contact\, including case-studies covering regions from Königsb
 erg to Ingria during the time period between 1500 and 1780.\n\nWorkshop pr

DESCRIPTION:The aim of this\, the 2nd conference of the BuddhistRoad proje
 ct\, is to investigate different aspects of material culture and transfer 
 in and between the Central Asian Buddhist communities during the 6–14th 
 centuries\, as well as dealing with issues relating to ritual and religiou
 s practices. Material transfer includes the exchange of iconographical mod
 els and religious imagery\, book culture\, cave sanctuaries\, etc. Ritual 
 practices as conceived here is meant to focus on the transmission\, formul
 ation and re-formulation of salient forms of ritual performances\, includi
 ng meditation and visualisation. Given that rituals generally take place i
 n prearranged\, ritual spaces\, it is in the nature of things that a certa
 in overlapping between material culture and ritual practices has taken pla
 ce in Central Asian Buddhism\, something that is also likely to be borne o
 ut in a number of the presentations.\n\nIt is hoped that a more inclusive 
 approach afforded by the two overarching topics of the conference will ass
 ist us in the formulation of new methods of research.

DESCRIPTION:This conference seeks to explore and contextualize the configu

 northern Arabia during the Late Bronze/Iron Ages that may have contributed
  to the emergence of the Yahwis-tic cult. Recent archaeological excavation
 s in the Negev\, southern Transjordan and Hejaz and new interpretations of
  old epigraphic and iconographic evidence are ra-pidly changing the biblic
 al-based paradigm of the interactions between the desert cults and the Iro
 n Age Levantine religions.\n\nThe conference adopts an interdisciplinary a
 pproach\, assessing textual\, archaeolo-gical\, as well as epigraphic data
 . The papers presented here contribute in a unique way to big historical q
 uestions of the LBA/IA desert religions: Was there something unique in the
  desert cults? How were the religious experiences shaped by the interactio
 ns between the local rituals and the sanctuary cults that penetrated from 
 the agricultural lands? The conference also touches the much wider debate 
 of the role played by trade–in copper\, incense\, pastoral products–an
 d cultural intercon-nections in the diffusion of religious ideas. It parti
 cularly explores how these data relate to those religious practices attest
 ed in Judah and Israel of the later Iron Age and beyond\, thereby providin
 g new insights into the prehistory of the Yahweh cult.\n\nProgramm

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox lecture by Paride Stortini (Chicago)\n\nThe concept o
 f the Silk Road suggests a chronotope of cultural contact\, flows of ideas
  and religions\, trade and economic interests at the interstices of empire
 s\, from the ancient Roman and Chinese\, to the modern “Great Game” be
 tween Russia and the British empire.\n\nIn post-WWII Japan\, the idea of t
 he Silk Road was associated in the media\, art\, and literature with freed
 om of travel\, contact with exotic cultures\, and spiritual encounters. Th
 e image of Japan as the end point of the route and the repository of the r
 ich entanglement of cultures that flowed through the Eurasian continent ma
 de it possible to conceive a new role for the country after the war: Japan
  as a model of cultural heritage preservation and a promoter of peace and 
 international collaboration. Religion and spirituality play an essential r
 ole in such image\, especially in the case of Buddhism\, whose spread from
  India to East Asia followed the maritime and land routes of the Silk Road
 . In this lecture\, the lecture will particularly analyze how such images 
 of the Silk Road and of Buddhism intersected in the art and cultural herit
 age activism of Hirayama Ikuo\, one of the major post-war nihonga painters
  in Japan and a survivor of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing\, and how they b
 ecame part of religious practice and imagery at the Yakushiji temple\, in 
 Nara. The lecture will take into consideration material and economic aspec
 ts of this imaginaire\, and what is left unsaid in the discourse around it
 \, such as Buddhist involvement in Japanese wartime militarism.

 Lusignan\, who became the founder of the Lusignan dynasty that would rule 
 the island for almost three centuries (1192-1489). With the arrival of the
  new sovereigns\, the local population experienced rapid and successive ch
 anges in political structures\, social organization\, accessibility to cul
 tural references\, artistic practices and norms\, since the Lusignans rema
 ined faithful to their cultural and religious identity. Despite the absenc
 e of violent conflicts between the two main religious group throughout the
  three centuries of Frankish rule\, day-to-day contacts did not result in 
 large scale fusion. Between the end of the thirteenth and the fourteenth c
 entury Cyprus was enjoying an extensive period of political stability and 
 economic prosperity. Within this frame the two dominant cultures on the is
 land came to achieve finally a rapprochement that was not previously obser
 ved\, reflected in the realm of the arts. However\, this new eclectic styl
 e was promoted by the elites\, both Latin and Greek\, while the largest pa
 rt of the Greek-Cypriot population was constantly resisting the alien infl
 uences and novelties\, preferring to remain strongly attached to its Byzan
 tine Orthodox heritage.\n\nIn this presentation I will make an attempt to 
 contextualize the above through presenting and discussing a number of monu
 ments and artefacts (panel and monumental paintings\, manuscripts\, archit
 ecture) produced in Cyprus\, or\, commissioned by members of the Cypriot n
 obility (Latin or Greek) during the time of Lusignan rule. What will be di
 scussed will be therefore the impact of the social changes on the artistic
  production of the island\, including how the concerns of the two religiou
 s groups were expressed throughout the period considered.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The two-day workshop on Formative Exchanges in the Islamicate 
 World: Zoroastrianism\, Manichaeism\, and Islam in Contact invites scholar
 s to discuss issues of religious interactions and mutual influence between
  Zoroastrianism\, Manichaeism\, and Islam on the Iranian plateau\, and in 
 Western and Central Asia to the middle of the second millennium CE. At the
  same time\, it urges scholars to analyze religious discourses and practic
 es shared by Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism in the Islamicate world\, few 
 centuries after Mani’s own lifetime.\n\nThe 2019 “Formative Exchanges
 ” workshop continues the approach initiated by the two previous similar 
 meetings held at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg in Bochum (2017 and 2018)\, wh
 ich invited scholars to identify and analyze major building blocks of reli
 gious encounters. These common platforms of religious interactions include
 : highlighting geography and landscape as key features in shaping religiou
 s encounters\; negotiating expressions of materiality in religious setting
 s\; underlying shared associations between mythological vocabularies and s
 ocial or ritual practices across various religions\; shared ritual skills 
 and ritual specialists\; reli-gious expressions of survival and accommodat
 ion techniques\, such as commercial exchanges\, medical care\, and ritual 
 meals\; and cosmologies as texts informing ethics\, rituals\, and politics
 .\n\nThe conveners of the 2019 “Formative Exchanges” Workshop ask thei
 r guests to analyze the ways in which Islamicate literacy provided the mea
 ns of adapting\, translating\, and adopting Zoroastrian and Manichaean tex
 ts. At the same time\, they invite the scholars to extend their investigat
 ion to the literary contexts in which these texts were produced (the liter
 ature of religious disputations) and also to their Sitz im Leben (polemica
 l encounters). In analyzing the ways in which religious identities were sh
 aped by the above description of series of literary codifications and rede
 scriptions\, the 2019 workshop encourages scholars to treat transformation
 \, hybridization\, and adaptation as various outcomes of religious encount
 ers. To discuss these formative interactions of religions on the move\, th
 e organizers invite scholars to investigate primary sources in Middle Pers
 ian\, Parthian\, Greek\, Latin\, Coptic\, Syriac\, and Arabic\, which desc
 ribe religious contacts in the Mediterranean world and Western Asia until 
 the middle of the second millennium CE.\n\nWorkshop's program

DESCRIPTION:The workshop on “Ritual\, Normativity\, and Representation
 ” brings together young and established scholars from the Käte Hamburge
 r Kolleg of the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) and the Department of
  Storia\, Antropologia\, Religioni\, Arte\, Spettacolo (SARAS) at Sapienza
  University of Rome.\n\nFor two days the two teams of researchers will dis
 cuss how they explored and developed new methods and theories in the study
  of religious contacts. The exploration of “ritual\,” “normativity\,
 ” and “representation\,” as major themes in the study of religious c
 ontact\, will provide avenues of interpretation common to the two European
  schools in the study of religion. The participants will investigate not o
 nly how religious contacts are experienced and documented\, but also the w
 ays in which they also become subject to embodiment and stigmatization thr
 ough representation and norms\, on one hand\, and through ritual practices
  and discourses about rituals\, on the other hand.\n\nThe KHK team will pr
 esent the work of its four Focus Groups (“Knowledge\,” “Experience\,
 ” “Media\,” and “Action”) in establishing and testing methodolog
 y of religious contact. Each presentation is expected to entail both a the
 oretical part and a case study illustrating its chosen methodological pers
 pective. The team from Sapienza University will present its own exploratio
 ns in the study of religion as representation\, ritual\, and means of nego
 tiation between politics and practices\, as they are documented in the las
 t years’ issues of the journal Studi e Materiali di Storia delle Religio
 ni: “religion as a colonial concept\,” “the gods of the others\, the
  gods and the others\,” “art and history in the religious traditions o
 f India\,” “religions in movement\,” and “defining religious minor
 ities.” The participants from both schools choose historical and contemp
 orary case studies of religious contacts documented in Asia and/or Europe 
 and the Mediterranean.\n\nWorkshop's program\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Der Workshop befasst sich mit der metaphorischen Funktion von 
 Artefakten in inter-religiösen Kontaktsituationen der christlichen Missio
 n in Süd-\, Südost- und Ostasien. Der Artefak-begriff reicht dabei von B
 ildern über Plastiken und Statuen bis hin zu Gebäuden und baulichen Arra
 ngements.\n\nGesellschaften sprechen zu ihren Göttern und über ihre Göt
 ter nicht nur mit Worten und Texten\, sondern auch durch materielle Ausdru
 cksformen. Wie religiöse Kommunikation im Allgemeinen\, so ist auch dieje
 nige religiöse Kommunikation\, die sich nicht-sprachlicher Medien bedient
 \, damit befasst\, die Differenz von Immanenz und Transzendenz mit dem Zie
 l letzt-instanzlicher Kontingenzbewältigung zu bearbeiten. In diesem Proz
 ess spielen Metaphern eine zentrale Rolle. Sie sind ein Mittel\, um das Un
 verfügbare verfügbar\, das Abwesende anwesend\, das Unsagbare sagbar zu 
 machen. Metaphorische Kommunikation vollzieht sich aber nicht nur im Modus
  der gesprochenen oder geschriebenen Sprache\, sondern auch im Modus des M
 ateriellen. Artefakte leisten – genau wie andere Modi der Kommunikation 
 – eine Bearbeitung und Überbrückung der Immanenz-Transzendenz-Differen
 z.\n\nWorkshop-Programm

SUMMARY:KHK Monday Meeting: The Church of Confucius. Kang Youwei (1858-192

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Federico Brusadelli (Erlangen/Nürnberg)\n\nAfter being limite
 d for decades to his role in the failed reforms of 1898\, interest in Kang
  Youwei (1858-1927) has recently reached to other aspects of his intellect
 ual and political platform. His understanding of Confucianism as the “tr
 ue religion” of China and the consequent proposal for the establishment 
 of a Confucian Church\, in particular\, have been observed and commented w
 ith growing attention\, especially after the reconsecration of Master Kong
  as a cultural symbol - if not a spiritual guide - of post-revolutionary C
 hina.\n\nThis talk will try to trace Kang’s contribution to the redefini
 tion and the reshaping of Confucianism within the framework of the concept
 ual debate on  “religion” (zongjiao 宗教). What was Kang’s interp
 retation of this “modern” concept? How did he apply it to the Chinese 
 context? How did he position Confucianism\, in the confrontation between 
 “religion” and “superstition”? And what socio-political role could
  it perform in the State-building process? Finally\, why is Kang’s “re
 ligious Confucianism” still relevant to 21st - century China?\n\nTo answ
 er these questions\, the analysis will be based on two texts from the post
 -1898 production: the Italian Journal (Yidali youji 意大利游记) of 19
 05 - that includes Kang’s comparative observations on the role of Cathol
 icism and Christianity in Western history - and some significant excerpts 
 from his posthumous masterpiece\, the Book of Great Concord (Datongshu 大
 同书).\n\nPicture by 风之清扬 - Own work\, CC BY-SA 3.0\n\n

 gram\, Facebook\, Twitter oder Youtube. Auch Religionsgemeinschaften und r
 eligiöse Autoritäten wie der Papst nutzen digitale und soziale Medien\, 
 um ihre Inhalte zu verbreiten. In Online-Computerspielen wie World of Warc
 raft werden religiöse Inhalte behandelt und inszeniert. Religion ist in d
 en digitalen Medien angekommen. Der Papst twittert\, die Gebets-App klinge
 lt und religiöse Szenarien in digitalen Spielen sind kein Einzelfall. In 
 dem Workshop beschäftigen wir uns damit\, wo Religion in digitalen Medien
  auftritt\, warum religiöse Gruppen das Internet nutzen und wie Religion 
 im Internet untersucht werden kann.\n\nDer Boys' Day richtet sich an Schü
 ler der Klassenstufen 8 bis 10.\n\nMehr Informationen hier\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Research on the written and material sources for Jewish-Christ
 ian interaction in medieval and early modern times has been\, for the most
  part\, focused on Western Europe and the Byzantine Empire. In these areas
 \, Jews lived as a minority under Christian rule. In contrast\, in regions
  to the east of the Byzantine Empire\, from the eastern Mediterranean to C
 entral Asia\, the Red Sea and India\, Jews and Christians interacted\, in 
 some cases\, on different terms: Jews and Christians as two minority group
 s\; Jews and Christians as two sovereign entities\; and "imagined" Jews\, 
 appearing in Christian texts\, artistic representations and discourse in r
 egions where Jews may not have existed.\n\nUp to the present\, research on
  Jewish-Christian interaction east of the Byzantine Empire in medieval and
  early modern times (ca. 600-1800 CE) has tended to focus on textual evide
 nce. This conference will examine the ways in which material culture can s
 hed light on this interaction. The regions which will be addressed include
  the Near East\, the Caucasus\, Central Asia\, China\, India and the Horn 
 of Africa.\n\nProgramme of the conference\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Iranian speakers—especially Sogdians\, Bactrians\, and Khota
 nese—had their homeland in Central Asia. Especially the former two are k
 nown as the traders on the Silk Roads and dominated the trade route up to 
 China. They had contact with various religions\, Zoroastrianism\, Manichae
 ism\, Christianity (especially the Church of the East\, so-called Nestoria
 nism)\, Buddhism and Islam through their trade activities.\n\nBecause of t
 heir religious diversity\, the Iranian speakers often played a major role 
 as the cultural intermediaries in Central and Eastern Asia. Thus\, the con
 tact with them triggered the dynamic change for several ethnic groups. On 
 the other hand\, the Iranian speakers were also impacted by others in thei
 r religious orientation. The above-mentioned introduction of Buddhism amon
 g some Sogdians can be counted as one of those examples\, because it proba
 bly happened through the contact with Chinese. In addition\, a certain con
 tact with Tocharians\, Indo-European speakers in Central Asia\, can also b
 e indicated.\n\nThe workshop offers an ideal platform for a fruitful discu
 ssion between scholars from Europa and Asia from various fields.\n\nProgra

 hall bring together art historians\, scholars of religious studies\, and s
 inologists to discuss religious references in Chinese landscape painting\,
  issues related to religion in the context of landscape and art in Eastern
  Asian cultures\, and issues concerning inter- and intrareligious contact.
  In the long term\, this fresh view should stimulate a closer cooperation 
 between the disciplines mentioned.\n\nThe workshop shall take place on the
  occasion of the current exhibition on contemporary and classic Chinese la
 ndscape painting at Bochum’s Situation Kunst/Museum unter Tage (Oct. 201
 8-April 2019). The exhibition is a cooperation project between CERES and t

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The current proliferation of media\, especially digital media\
 , has an impact on how religion is perceived\, experienced\, and negotiate
 d. Scholars in the field of religion and media are increasingly interested
  in exploring aspects that are relevant to understand digital religion\, s
 uch as religious authority. Some questions are central to understand vario
 us facets of contemporary religion: how does the Internet affect religious
  authority? Do digital media reproduce existing structures of authority\, 
 or do they challenge traditional authority?\n\nIn discussing religious aut
 hority and the Internet\, this workshop aims at reflecting upon instances 
 of religious contact. Existing academic works on media and authority\, ind
 eed\, seldom explore how authority can kindle –or hinder –religious co
 ntact. The workshop will gather experts in religion and digital media from
  Europe and the U.S.\, who will explore the topic with case studies about 
 Judaism\, Islam\, and Christianity. In particular\, the presentations will
  analyze how digital media facilitate endorsement or rejection of religiou
 s authority in a given religious tradition\, and how online-mediated negot
 iations of religious authority mutually influence different religious grou
 ps. By so doing\, the workshop aims at adding complexity to the current un
 derstanding of authority and digital media\, and discussing new methodolog
 ical and theoretical perspective in the field of religion and media.\n\nPr

DESCRIPTION:Metaphors as a form of figurative speech play a special role i
 n religious language: where language lacks the means to talk about the tra
 nscendent\, metaphors offer the possibility of not remaining speechless. F
 or interreligious contact situations\, the metaphor has a double function\
 , since it not only deals with the border to transcendence\, but also with
  the border to the religious other.\n\nIn this session of the KHK/CERES Co
 mputer Café\, interested scholars of religion can inform themselves about
  current methodological approaches in metaphor research. As guest speakers
 \, Berenike Herrmann (Basel) and Nils Reiter (Stuttgart) will speak on the
  topic of “Mixed Methods Approaches to Metaphor Analysis: Qualitative an
 d Quantitative Methods for Metaphor Annotation”.\n\n \n\ni'm a metaphor

 damit zu tun\, wie die Räume um uns herum gestaltet sind.\n\nIm Rahmen de
 r Veranstaltung am 1. und 2. Februar 2019 kommen in Podiumsdiskussionen un
 d Vorträgen Perspektiven auf würdevolle Gestaltung öffentlicher und pri
 vater Räume zusammen:\n\nLebendige Lebensumfelder in der Dortmunder Nords
 tadt mit heterogenen persönlichen und kulturellen Ansprüchen auf engstem
  Raum und letzte Lebensräume und Hospizarbeit mit Ansprüchen an würdevo

 s die uns in allen Phasen des Lebens umgebenden Räume wünschen und sie g
 estalten können.\n\nDie Veranstaltung findet im Wichernhaus in Dortmund (

DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered which challenges are faced by curators 
 of religious art? Dr. Martin Rademacher was actively involved in the prepa
 ration of the exhibition "BILD MACHT RELIGION" in the Kunstmuseum Bochum. 
 He will share his experiences during this lecture at Faculty of Theology a
 nd Religious Studies of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen\, followed by a Q&
 A with the audience.\n\nThe role of images is contested in religious tradi
 tions. While some religious traditions appreciate images and statues to th
 e point of venerating them\, others are critical\, to say theleast\, about
  (re-)presenting the divine in the media of art. Contemporary art takes up
  these issues\, adopts and transforms them. The exhibition – a cooperati
 ve project organized by theart museum of Bochum and the Center for Religio
 us Studies (CERES) at Ruhr University Bochum – displays artifacts from d
 ifferent regions and times with a focus on Christian traditions. The objec
 ts highlight the whole spectrum of positions towards images reaching from 
 reflected criticism to violent destruction\; often within one and the same
  religious tradition. The talk will present the central ideas behind the e
 xhibition as well as the challenges involved in its preparation and set-up
 .\n\nVenue: Court Room\, Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies\, Oude

DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox Lecture by Zara Pogossian (Bochum)\n\nIn August 2018 
 the presenter organised a week-long research field trip to the village of 
 Yeghegis in the Region of Vayots' Dzor\, Armenia\, co-sponsored by the ERC
  project JewsEast and her Innovators fund from RUB Research School. Archae
 ologists from the University of Florence\, University of Chieti (Italy)\, 
 Erevan State University and Armenian Academy of Sciences came together for
  a collaborative effort. The purpose was to conduct a deep impact archaeol
 ogical survey of the village of Yeghegis and explore the material context 
 of its Jewish Cemetery. The Cemetery constitutes unique evidence on a medi
 eval Jewish community in Armenia for whom there is tantalisingly little wr
 itten evidence. The team's explorations of medieval cultural monuments wit
 hin and outside the village indicated that it was once home to a multi-rel
 igious community and economically thrived due to its close distance from a
 t least two way stations of the system of Silk Roads. The presentation aim
 s to transmit this cultural vibrancy\, share the images of impressive land
 scapes and load the hard work of archaeologist colleagues\, as well as exp
 lain the importance of further research in this fascinating area

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture in English presented by Carmen Brandt (Bonn)\n\n
 Besides its linguistic diversity\, South Asia also hosts a large number of
  writing systems. While the emergence of ethnic groups based on linguistic
  factors is well studied\, research on the influence of scripts on identit
 y formation among ethnolinguistic and religious communities is still at th
 e beginning. This presentation will give a preliminary systematic overview
  on the importance of writing systems in contemporary South Asia as well a
 s focus on the nexus of script and religion in past and present. By presen
 ting some significant examples\, it will make apparent that the growing im
 portance of script is often also connected to the formation and spread of 
 religions as well as to the evolution of media technologies\, for instance
  to the introduction of the printing press and computer technology\, and a
 ccess to social media in South Asia. First conclusions in this presentatio
 n draw on an extensive comparative study based\, among others\, on long-te
 rm field studies in India\, Pakistan\, and Bangladesh.

DESCRIPTION:Fachtagung im Rahmen der Ausstellung "BILD MACHT RELIGION" im 
 Kunstmuseum Bochum\n\nDer Kontakt zwischen verschiedenen religiösen Tradi
 tionen oder unterschiedlichen Traditionssträngen einer Religion geht oft 
 mit der Diskussion über die Legitimität von Glaubensinhalten und -prakti
 ken einher. Wenn religiöse Traditionen aufeinandertreffen oder sich im La
 ufe der Zeit wandeln\, wird das bis dato Selbstverständliche in unterschi
 edlichem Ausmaß neu reflektiert und diskutiert. Dies betrifft auch die 
 „Bilderfrage“ nach dem erlaubten oder richtigen Einsatz von bildlichen
  Darstellungen im religiösen Kontext.\n\nAuch wenn in der europäischen K
 unstgeschichte der byzantinische Ikonoklasmus zentral erscheint\, die Bild
 erfrage ist nicht nur ein Thema der jüdisch-christlichen Traditionen. In 
 allen religiösen Traditionen zwischen Asien und Europa – und darüber h
 inaus – ist die Rolle von Medien äußerst umstritten und der Umgang mit
  Bildern\, Statuen und anderen visuellen Darstellungsformen ambivalent: Zu
 m einen ermöglichen Bilder\, etwas zu sehen\, was anders nicht zu sehen i
 st. Sie machen das Abwesende anwesend und bearbeiten damit ein zentrales G
 rundproblem religiöser Kommunikation. Zum anderen zeigen Bilder etwas\, w
 as vielleicht nicht gezeigt werden und besser im Unsichtbaren bleiben mög
 e\; z. B. weil das Gezeigte mit dem Bild identifiziert werden könnte.\n\n
 Auf diese Ambivalenz reagieren Kunst und Religion: Während einige religi
 öse Positionen besonders bilderfreundlich sind und im Dargestellten die P
 räsenz des Göttlichen sehen\, reagieren andere religiöse Strömungen au
 f die Identifikation von Darstellendem und Dargestelltem mit Bilderverbote
 n oder der Zerstörung von Bildern – die vor jenen anderer Religionsgeme
 inschaften nicht Halt macht und manchmal in gewalttätigen Auseinandersetz
 ungen mündet. Die zeitgenössische Kunst nimmt diesen Spannungsbogen auf 
 und bearbeitet ihn in je eigener Weise.\n\nProgramm der Tagung

 Bildern in Religion und Gesellschaft\n\nReferent: Friedrich Tietjen (Leipz
 ig)\n\nBilder sind allgegenwärtig. Die globalisierte Gesellschaft wird ne
 ben der eigenen Bilderflut zunehmend mit Bildern und Kunstobjekten fremder
  Kulturen konfrontiert. Zwar gelten Bilder gewissermaßen als universell v
 erständlich\, doch setzt der Zugang zum tieferen Verständnis außereurop
 äischer Bilder meist eine Kenntnis des kulturellen Hintergrundes voraus. 
 Dies gilt insbesondere für religiöse Aspekte in vermeintlich säkularen 
 Bildwerken. Denn auch wenn Bilder keinen ausdrücklich religiösen Kontext
  aufweisen\, so können religiöse Inhalte dennoch enthalten sein.\n\nWie 
 aber nähert man sich einem Bild? - "Was sehen Sie?" ist daher eine Frage\
 , mit der viele Seminare über Kunst beginnen\, und nicht die schlechteste
 n. Denn dass das Sehen die Voraussetzung für das Sprechen über Bilder is
 t\, kann leicht in Vergessenheit geraten\, weil Bilder so mächtig sind in
  dem\, was sie zeigen. So rücken Denken und Wissen leicht an seine Stelle
 . Die Ausstellung des Malers Qiu Shihua bieten Gelegenheit\, darüber nach
 zudenken\, über die Bilder und über das Sehen und das Sprechen.\n\n\n	Do

DESCRIPTION:When it comes to religious contact and transfer\, early modern
  Scandinavia has not been considered to be the first address for examinati
 on. One reason for this may be that at first sight\, from this era onwards
  this region seems to be dominated only by one stout and monolithic state 
 religion\, i.e. Lutheranism. But giving the geographical frame a second th
 ought\, however\, one may discern many regions and situations of religious
  contact within or at the shores and borders of the Scandinavian peninsula
 \, such as the interreligious encounter between the different forms of Chr
 istianity and the indigenous Sámi religion in the very North. Only rarely
  discussed are intra-religious encounters between Protestant and Orthodox 
 Christianity in the eastern parts of the Scandinavian pensinsula or at the
  shores of the Baltic coast lines. Furthermore\, due to colonial and imper
 ial ambitions of the two Scandinavian realms\, Denmark-Norway and Sweden-F

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture presented by Hou Haoran (Leipzig) as part of the
  ERC funded research project BuddhistRoad\n\nFrom the 12th to the 13th cen
 tury\, the fire offerings of Homa became prevalent in the Tangut state. Th
 is perception is based on the evidence as follows: Tangut tantric literatu
 re\, recovered from Kara Khoto and Shanzuigou\, contains a considerable am
 ount of manuals of Homa ritual\; historical sources and Buddhsit prayers r
 ead the accounts of the Homa offerings performed at the Tangut court\; vis
 uality of the Homa elements is observed in the Thangka collections from Kh
 ara Khoto and the mural paintings in the Dunhuang Caves. From the three as
 pects\, the lecture will provide an overview of the ritual offerings of Ho
 ma during the Tangut period. It will further examine an early Tangut block
 print\, i.e.\, the Saṃpuṭatantra\, which includes a section homavidhi 
 introducing various formulas of Homa ritual. The text derseves special men
 tion in its rarity for being kept in three languages: Sanskrit\, Tibetan\,
  and Tangut. Reflecting on a comparative study of the trilingual documents
 \, the lecture attempts to provide clues on how Tangut people interpreted 
 and reacted to Buddhist texts\, images\, and rituals.\n\n \n\n

 nian\, Jewish\, Muslim and not at least diverece heterodox denominations o
 f the main-stream religious traditions\, it provided a unique setting for 
 religious con-tacts and interactions. Signed in 1573\, the Confederation o
 f Warsaw aimed to guarantee confessional tolerance in this huge multi-ethn
 ic and multi-confessional country and made it a place of refuge for differ
 ent dissidentes in religione. The pax dissidentum from 1573 made the Commo
 nwealth a much safer and tolerant place than most of contemporary Europe\,
  but did not prevent religious conflicts. The Counter-Reformation movement
  of the Catholic Church in Poland as well as the growing necessity to stre
 ngthen and re-establish own positions of other religious denominations res
 ulted in vivid polemics\, conflicts and contacts.\n\nThis workshop is inte
 nded to explore the manifold contact situations of religious traditions an

DESCRIPTION:The transformation of the religious due to migration and plura
 lisation also effects the role of sacred buildings in the urban environeme
 nt. A multitude of church builings in recent Germany are affected by closi
 ng-downs\, conversions and even demolitions. At the same time one can trac
 e an increasing number of mosques and synagogues for the last two decades.
  For all three religions it holds true that the recent constructions of re
 ligious meeting places are accompanied by creative innovations\, often uns
 een by their visitors at the first glance. This leads to the question\, wh
 ich significance recent sacred architecture has in an urban environment. W
 hich meaning is communicated by sacred buildings\, how are they sited in u
 rban space\, and how do they structure it?\n\nThis project is a cooperatio
 n between Religious Studies and History of Architecture and explores compa
 ratively the changes of the shaping and symbolic designs of contemporary s
 acred buildings in Germany. For that purpose\, Christian\, Muslim and Jewi
 sh places of worship\, i. e. its new constructions\, conversions and demol
 itions in Germany since 1990 shall be recorded and described in a database
 . Additionally\, selected buildings shall be analysed in more detail in re
 gard to its meaning and positioning in their urban environements.\n\nThe k
 ick-off workshop initiates the projects and conduces to the networking of 
 all researchers engaged as well as to discuss the central hypotheses and p
 roceedings. Invited external experts will support and advice the start of 
 the project.

 ws and Christians interacted in the Mediterranean\, the Middle East\, the 
 Caucasus\, Central Asia\, the Horn of Africa\, especially Ethiopia\, and t

 research project aiming at establishing a new area of study – relations 
 between Jews and Eastern Christian communities from the rise of Islam to t
 he end of the eighteenth century. The study of inter-religious dynamics is
  anchored in the framework of pre-modern cultural history concerning a vas

  and the Eastern Mediterranean\, through West Asia and the Caucasus\, to S
 outh India\, all connected through trade and travel.  \n\nThe course has 
 two aims:\n\n\n	​to introduce the interested researchers/students into t

 \, ethnographic\, and historiographic) that are needed for the exploration
  of this new field\;  \n	to disseminate the results of the JewsEast resea

DESCRIPTION:The two-day workshop on “Formative Exchanges in Central Asia
 : Zoroastrianism\, Manichaeism\, and Buddhism in Contact” invites schola
 rs to discuss issues of religious interactions between Zoroastrianism\, Ma
 nichaeism\, and Buddhism in the Iranian plateau\, the Indian subcontinent\
 , and Central Asia to the end of the first millennium CE. The proposed 201
 8 workshop will build on the research presented at the similar 2017 worksh
 op on “Formative Exchanges between the Sasanian Empire and Late Antique 
 Rome.” The 2017 meeting explored the cognitive\, ritual\, and material s
 cope of religions represented as “minorities” within larger ethnic and
  ideological landscapes\, such as Christians and Manichaeans in the Persia
 n Empire\, or Manichaeans in the Roman Empire. The 2018 workshop will shif
 t its focus eastward.\n\nThe invited scholars will investigate formative d
 ynamics of contacts\, interactions\, and exchanges that took place between
  Zoroastrianism\, Manichaeism\, and Buddhism at multiple levels: knowledge
 \, ritual\, material\, and experiential. The 2018 meeting will still consi
 der the literary and social negotiations Manichaeism and\, to a limited de
 gree\, Christianity\, carried with Zoroastrianism\, as an imperially-manda
 ted religion\, in the Sasanian Empire\, between the third and the seventh 
 centuries. To this\, the 2018 meeting will add the perspective of religiou
 s interactions across central Asia and into China\, to the end of the firs
 t millennium CE as the new inquiry focus.\n\nProgramm of the workshop

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Yutaka Yoshida (Kyoto) as part of the ERC fun
 ded research project BuddhistRoad\n\nSogdians\, an Iranian speaker\, are f
 amous as the merchants between West and East. In their homeland\, Zoroastr
 ism seems to have been dominant among them\, but passing the trade routs\,
  so-called Silk Road\, they had contacts with different religions. When th
 ey came closer to China\, some Sogdians became Buddhists. They also produc
 ed Buddhist texts in their own language and a small part of them came down
  to us by chance. In his lecture\, Yutaka Yoshida\, a leading scholar of M
 iddle Iranian Studies\, first gives an overview about Sogdian Buddhist tex
 ts which were excavated from Turfan and Dunhuang. And then he focuses on T
 antric texts and discusses them in detail.\n\nPicture: Depositum der Berli

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Esther Berg-Chan (Frankfurt a.M.)\n\nIn the l
 ast couple of years we have witnessed the rise of ‘martial arts studies
 ’ as a new and distinct field of academic inquiry. From the already exis
 ting research on ‘martial arts’ produced within different disciplinary
  contexts\, an interdisciplinary conversation on martial arts has emerged.
  In this talk\, I seek to unpack martial arts\, religion\, and their relat
 ion to each other from a religious studies perspective. Claiming martial a
 rts as an object of religious studies\, and in turn claiming that religiou
 s studies has the potential to produce valuable insights for the field of 
 martial arts studies\, might raise some eyebrows. The relation between and
  (maybe not coincidentally) the definition of both martial arts and religi
 on is an issue of debate among both outside observers and practitioners. C
 onsequently\, it is this very relation that is under investigation in this
  talk drawing on both a discourse theoretical approach and on the perspect
 ive of material religion.

DESCRIPTION:The workshop will investigate intellectual and religious conta
 cts in and between Safavid Iran and Mughal India in the 16th and 17th cent
 uries. In the early modern period\, Iran and North India witnessed fundame
 ntal cultural changes which profoundly formed their new identity. The rule
 rs of Iran at the time\, the Safavids (1501-1722)\, proclaimed Shīʿī Is
 lam as the state religion\; The Mughal emperors (1526-1858) fostered an en
 vironment in India\, where Islam\, Hindu-religions\, Christianity and Zoro
 astrianism came more intensively in dialogue. Not only numerous syncretist
 ic trends arose from these entangled situation\, but the contacts impacted
  the respective religions as well. Moderated Indian rulers invited for exa
 mple the representatives of different religions to the court to dispute. T
 hey moreover supported translations of the Sanskrit religious texts into P
 ersian which were received in Safavid Iran as well. One might mention the 
 Persian translation of Upanishads in this period which found its way to Eu
 rope and resulted in the acquaintance of the Europeans with this philosoph
 ical work. The open religious environment of Mughal India was for Iranian 
 intellectuals so attractive that many of them traveled or even migrated to
  India. It was due to these migrations that scholastic teachings of Islami
 c theology started in major cities of India. These interactions between Sa
 favid Iran and Mughal India enhanced the religious and intellectual though
 ts between the two lands and in-between. It is in-between of these two rel
 igious zones where some new syncretistic philosophical and religious movem
 ents as Āẓar Keywānīs should be located. Moreover\, the religious act
 ivities at one of these courts seem to have been animated by the other. Sc
 rutinizing these topics are the goals of this proposed workshop.\n\nProgra

DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox Lecture presented by KHK Visiting Research Fellow Imk
 e Rath\n\nThe presentation will relate the presenter's research on an anci
 ent Philippine religion to the KHK concept of the transcendence/immanence-
 distinction (TID). It is led by the question on how to deal with descripti
 ons of transcendent phenomena of this Philippine religion produced by obse
 rvers who had a clearly different (Early Modern Catholic) idea of the TID.
  Based on three examples\, it will be shown how this distinct TID influenc
 ed not only the descriptions in the sources\, but in some cases even the c
 urrent understanding of certain phenomena of this Philippine religion. In 
 the first example\, it will be discussed how the classification of various
  religious figures and beings as witches equalized Philippine priests with
  transcendent mythological beings and anthropomorphized Philippine ghosts.
  The second example focuses on the liminal moment of transition from imman
 ence to transcendence by analyzing descriptions of rituals. This leads to 
 the third example on the understanding of death and the concept of soul. I
 n this regard\, it will be demonstrated how a comparative study of Oceanic
  ideas of the essence of mankind and life after death inspires to a new in
 terpretation of sources\, providing an alternative view to the Christian u
 nderstanding of the soul presented by the Early Modern observers.

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Agnieszka Staszczyk (Krakow)\n\nThe
  presentation focuses on the main architectural forms and decoration theme
 s chosen by creators of Birla Mandirs\, constructed between 1930s and 1990
 s. The research is based on fieldwork studies from the past four years. Th
 e project team and the presenter of the lecture visited 19 temples altoget
 her\, classified into two main groups:\n\n\n	the older one founded in orde
 r to support the idea of building the Hindu national temple (Hindu Rashtra
  Mandir)\n	the younger one designed using traditional architectural langua
 ges.\n\n\nIn the first group the main architect responsible for the form w
 as Sris Chandra Chatterjee\, one of the most important designers of the pr
 e-independence period\, founder of Modern Indian Architectural Movement an
 d one of the main theoreticians discussing the shape of new Indian art\, a
 s well as possible sources of the revival. In the second group\, the famou
 s Sompura master builders were mostly employed as the main constructors\, 
 therefore the character of temples changes. Their forms are often inspired
  by ancient monuments designed in regional styles of North and Central Ind
 ia. So changes the message and function of temples. This may be mainly obs
 erved in the diverse decoration consisting of inscribed panels\, paintings
 \, reliefs\, sculptures and stained-glass windows. In the first group they
  are concentrated on conveying the message of the inclusive Hindu primordi
 al tradition to which belong also Buddhists\, Jains and Sikhs. It shall be
  emphasized that: the selection of illustrated figures and themes is inspi
 red by teachings of important gurus and reformers\, among them Vivekananda
 \, Swami Shraddhananda or Malaviya\; its main aim is to present key symbol
 s of the common Indian nation - future citizens of the new independent sta
 te\, and to build the national identity\; authors of the iconographic prog
 rammes deliberately change elements of the Aryan heritage to fit them to t
 he modern picture.\n\nThus\, although they claim that the main idea behind
  the project is to restore old tradition\, in fact we may assume it being 
 the idea of constructing it. The other group to some extent continues this
  message\, but also quotes some flagship motives of the Hindu temple tradi
 tion (used mainly as the outside wall decoration)\, and last but not least
  opens to the non-Indian traditions introducing the eminent figures of Chr
 istianity\, Judaism and Confucianism.\n

 a)\n\nThis lecture will focus on two jātaka stories with ascetic characte
 rs (Śyāma and Ekaśṛṅga) which are widely distributed in Buddhist li
 terary and visual cultures.  Images of these stories are included among t
 he visual repertoire of at least 15 jātakas identified in a comprehensive
  global survey conducted between 2015-2017 as part of an interdisciplinary
  collaborative research project on ovelapping genres of Gandhāran rebirth
  narratives.  Localization of some of these stories reported by Chinese v
 isitors to Gandhara and neighbouring regions between the fifth and seventh
  centuries CE reflects how these narratives of the Buddha’s previous bir
 ths became embedded in regional landscapes. An examination of the textual 
 versions and visual imagery of the stories of Śyāma and Ekaśṛṅga\, 
 which were emplaced near mountain passes connecting the Peshawar Basin wit
 h the Swat Valley\, suggests that topographical patterns may have played a
  role in the selective emphasis on ascetic themes as rebirth narratives pr
 eserved in visual and literary media were domesticated in the northwestern

  BuddhistRoad is to investigate the complexities concerning patronage and 
 donors in Central Asian Buddhist communities on the one hand\, and issues 
 relating to sacred spaces and pilgrimage on the other. While the focus wil
 l be on the cultures that thrived along the Silk Road during the period 6
 –14th centuries\, the scope of the meeting will also include these thema
 tics in adjacent areas and cultures in order to provide viable comparative
  and theoretical basis for further elucidation and discussion.\n\nFind mor

DESCRIPTION:Nicht nur im Zusammenhang mit der religionswissenschaftlichen 
 Diskussion um die „agency“ der Dinge und den „material turn“ wird 
 es zunehmend relevant\, das interdisziplinäre Gespräch zwischen Archäol
 og/innen und Religionswissenschaftler/innen zu suchen. Auch wenn es um Fra
 gen der Emergenz des religiösen Feldes in frühen Epochen der Geschichte 
 geht\, sind die Erkenntnisse der Archäologie zentral für die Religionsfo
 rschung: sowohl in komparativer als auch theoretischer Hinsicht.\n\nFast 9
 9\,9 % der Menschheitsgeschichte spielen sich vor der Entdeckung der Schri
 ft ab. Die Erkenntnisse der Ur- und Frühgeschichte bieten somit einen eno
 rmen Fundus – verbunden mit methodologischen Herausforderungen – für 
 religions- und kulturhistorische Fragestellungen. Nicht zuletzt stellt die
  Präsentation archäologischer Funde und Befunde in Museen einen wesentli
 chen Weg des Transfers von Wissen aus der universitären Forschung in eine
  breitere Öffentlichkeit dar\, der durch die Religionsforschung bereicher
 t werden kann. Thematisch wird dabei insbesondere der Religions- und Kultu
 rkontakt zwischen Europa und Asien in frühgeschichtlicher Zeit im Vorderg
 rund stehen.\n\nDer geplante eintägige Workshop soll Archäolog/innen und
  Religionswissenschaftler/innen zusammenbringen\, die am interdisziplinär
 en Austausch interessiert sind. Dabei geht es auch um die engere Vernetzun
 g LWL-Museum für Archäologie in Herne mit dem Centrum für Religionswiss
 enschaftliche Studien (CERES) der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Die Teilnehmer
 /innen werden Schnittmengen in Bezug auf die genannten Themenbereiche iden
 tifizieren und durch die Vorstellung von Forschungsgebieten und Fragestell
 ungen eine Gesprächsbasis für weitere Gespräche und (Forschungs-)Kooper
 ationen schaffen. Außerdem wird der Workshop direkt Bezug nehmen auf die 
 ab März 2018 im Archäologiemuseum gezeigt Ausstellung „Irrtümer und F
 älschungen“\, in der u. a. die methodischen Herausforderungen einer auf
  Artefakten basierenden Kultur- und Gesellschaftsanalyse thematisiert werd
 en.\n\nDie Teilnahme am Workshop ist auf Einladung. Im Anschluss an den Wo
 rkshop findet ein öffentlicher Abendvortrag statt.\n\nVeranstaltungsort:

DESCRIPTION:Internationale conference in cooperation with the Institut d'A
 sie Orientale\, Università degli Studi di Perugia\, Ens de Lyon and the 
 École française d’Extrême-Orient.\n\nThe conference aims to evaluate 
 the relevance of concepts such as syncretism\, hybridity\, mélange\, mét
 issage and bricolage used to describe the processes of transmission of Bud
 dhism by comparing case studies from various Asian cultural areas and from
  different historical periods. Of paramount importance in the conference i
 s the contextualisation of the processes of transmission of Buddhism. Rega
 rdless of the period under examination\, the transmission of Buddhism from
  one cultural context in Asia to another is always dependant on specific l
 ocal circumstances and needs\; thus\, teachings and practices are always r
 einterpreted locally. Therefore\, the transfer of Buddhism never results i
 n the conservation of a supposedly authentic tradition\, but rather is a d
 ynamic process of constant renewal. In a nutshell\, the goal of the confer
 ence is to typologize the historical\, cultural and societal factors that 
 induce religious innovation by considering global as well as local framewo
 rks. Through specific case studies\, cultural and religious complexities w
 ill become visible as dynamic phenomena which move beyond boundaries.\n\nV

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture (in German) presented by Prof. Dr. Camilla Di Bi
 ase-Dyson (Göttingen) as part of the CERES research colloquium\n\nThis pr
 esentation will concern itself with the analysis of metaphorical language 
 for scholars of religious studies. Metaphors and other similar tropes will
  be firstly be defined\, after which some methods of analysis will be outl
 ined. We will look at ways of annotating metaphor in a large historical co
 rpus and consider the way in which the language alters according to genre.
  The problematic of analysing metaphor in religious literature in particul
 ar will then be addressed (with some practical examples)\, after which par
 ticipants will be invited to share their own material for discussion.\n

DESCRIPTION:Exploring the role of emotion in religious and intellectual li
 fe\, Peter Goldie has argued that not all emotional feelings are bodily fe
 elings\, and that feelings may also concern things in the world that reach
  beyond the body\; such feelings\, "bound up with thought"\, are what he h
 as called feelings towards. "Many of these emotions – such as delight\, 
 wonder\, awe\, courage\, doubt\, tenacity\, and hope – will be common be
 tween the intellectual and the religious sphere\; others – reverence and
  contrition perhaps – will be particular to religious experience" (Goldi
 e 2011. "Intellectual Emotions and Religious Emotions." Faith and Philosop
 hy 28.1: 93-101).\n\nEarly modern religious writers considered "holy affec
 tions" to be morally superior to all other emotions. Appealing to the emot
 ions became pervasive across confessional lines in the conversion and pros
 elytizing strategies employed by theologians\, preachers and missionaries 
 in the early modern age. There are significant differences\, however\, in 
 the emotions that the Catholic\, Lutheran and Calvinist clergy tried to in
 stil in their flocks. From around the mid-eighteenth century\, as Enlighte
 nment ideas permeated elites across Europe\, the established churches went
  on the defensive – intellectually\, culturally\, politically\, emotiona
 lly. This symposium explores the role of individual and collective emotion
 s in the religious life and sensibility of seventeenth- and eighteenth-cen
 tury Europe\, as expressed in devotional practices\, preaching styles\, in
 terpretations of catastrophic events or conversion processes. It particula
 rly engages with questions of inclusion and exclusion strategies\, anticle
 rical polemics and the perception and representation of heterodoxy and rel
 igious alterity.\n\nWorkshop programme\n

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on Buddhism and Shamanism in Russia\, Mongolia\, Cent
 ral Asia\, Tibet\, and the Himalayas\, the workshop will trace the introdu
 ction of Eurocentric secular projects of defining and limiting religion to
  cultural contexts in which religions\, philosophies\, and worldviews fund
 amentally challenge these secular definitions. The categories of “religi
 on” and “secularism” are both products of European modern intellectu
 al history\, but they developed out of European perceptions of Christianit
 y and its contrast to non-European “others” and their religions.\n\nSc
 holarship on secularism and its effects\, however\, has focused overwhelmi
 ngly on monotheistic contexts\, largely ignoring the role of secularism an
 d the category of religion in socialist secular projects and non-monotheis
 tic religious traditions. The concept of “religion” was not merely imp
 osed from above. It was appropriated and redefined by Buddhists and Shaman
 ists in the twentieth and twenty-first century creating new hierarchies an
 d stimulating new asymmetrical power relations.\n\nSince the early twentie
 th century Buddhism was increasingly used in the processes of nation-build
 ing\, while Shamanism was continuously marginalized. The socialist secular
  project in Siberia\, Mongolia\, and Central Asia demonstrated attempts to
  integrate religion into building new states (1920s)\, rigid anti-religiou
 s campaigns (1930s)\, and the moderate recognition and even support of org
 anized religion (1950s–1980s). In contemporary Mongolia and Siberia\, Bu
 ddhism has once again been elevated to the status of “national” or “
 traditional” religion\, while in Nepal it\nbecame a marker of one’s su
 bnational ethnic belonging. In view of the expectations about what nationa
 l or traditional religion is supposed to be\, Shamanism remained contested
  in all four regional contexts\, yet became increasingly popular in hetero
 geneous revival movements defying\nboth state and religious authority.\n\n
 Examining the ways in which secular projects intersected with Buddhist and
  Shamanist religious projects promises to open new perspectives on secular
 ism\, socialism\, and colonialism. Nikolay Tsyrempilov (Nazarbayev Univers
 ity) will give a keynote lecture.\n\nWorkshop programme\n

DESCRIPTION:Alevi populations have undergone many radical socio-political 
 transformations after the 1950s which have posed substantial challenges re
 garding the maintenance of the Alevi tradition. Until recent decades the A
 levi tradition was mainly rooted in rural structures. Rapid urbanization l
 ed by internal migration\, the state-led assimilation campaigns and the ri
 sing threat of Islamism in Turkey since the 1980s\, and increased contacts
  with other religious traditions (mainly Christianity) via the Alevi diasp
 ora in Europe have brought about and increased the importance of new actor
 s in Alevi socio-cultural politics\, most importantly Alevi civil associat
 ions.\n\nThese modern Alevi associations also face some serious problems a
 s to how to re-build the Alevi tradition under new conditions and how to r
 egulate and institutionalize their relations with the traditional religiou
 s authority of Alevi saintly lineages\, the ocaks and their members\, the 
 dedes. Thus\, the main aim of this workshop is to discuss the process of A
 levi tradition building with a specific focus on new Alevi institutions\, 
 their roles in the conduct of lives of Alevis as well as their contacts wi
 th other religious traditions.\n\nWorkshop's programme\n

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Prof. Dr. Martin Papenheim (CERES)\n\nBhagwan's Neo
 -Sannyas movement entered Germany in 1972. Even though Hippies\, dropouts 
 and artists were its first members\, by the end of the 1970s the movement 
 had become the biggest "cult" in Germany with a large middle class members
 hip. Depending on the source\, the numbers vary from 20\,000 to 50\,000 me
 mbers. This discrepancy reflects the complex and fluid character of the mo
 vement with both well-organized communes as well highly informal membershi
 p.\n\nThe public discourse in the late 1970s and 1980s focused on the conc
 epts of "sect" and "gross endangerment of minors". Thus\, the contemporary
  debate highly underestimated this west-eastern hybrid group's capacity to
  destabilize German/Christian religious sub-system. The Neo-Sannyas moveme
 nt was a post-religion. In that it had inherited the questions religions t
 ypically ask. But instead of answering them\, Bhagwan's teachings  demand
 ed a constant query of the Self. The movement  combined traditional eleme
 nts of institution and cult with new forms of organization and practice. M
 ost importantly it re-organized the societal differentiation of the religi
 ous by (re-)implementing religious elements into other sub-systems especia
 lly health and economy\, but also into media and art.\n

 graphic research in both Chicago and southern California in Vineyard congr
 egations. She reveals how members engage in what she calls "the willing su
 spension of disbelief" by consciously pretending\, like a game in their mi
 nds\, that God is a real being to interact with\; learning to discern God'
 s voice in their internal monologues\; and trying to master the art of pra
 yer as a skill requiring intense effort and concentration in order to be a
 ble to communicate with God. In her accessible and captivating style\, Luh
 rmann traces both the success and the failures of congregants as they try 
 to establish real\, personal\, intimate and lasting relationships with God

 moon. The Ethio-Armenian portion had some surprising revelations about Arm

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Martin Lutz (Berlin)\n\nThe lecture gives an 
 overview of an ongoing research project that tackles the question of how M
 ennonites\, Amish and Hutterites were able to remain competitive in the ca
 pitalist economy of the United States. The project looks at processes of a
 daption to and rejection of capitalist modernity in Anabaptist communities
  in a long-term historical perspective from the end of the Civil War throu
 gh the 1970s.\n\nOn the one hand\, Anabaptist communities remained anchore
 d in traditional path-dependencies\, for example pre-modern techniques of 
 production. On the other hand\, they embraced certain aspects of industria
 l modernity and increasingly participated in local\, regional\, and nation
 al markets.\n\nThe project is based on the hypotheses that religious value
 s as well as communal traditions influenced Anabaptist economic strategies
 . It aims to contribute to the current debates on secularization and the p
 ersistence of religion in modern societies\, the diversity of modernizatio
 n processes\, as well as the cultural embeddedness of economic action.\n

DESCRIPTION:The notion of a Holy War\, that is a war declared to be undert
 aken for reli-gious reasons\, is a concept dating\, in Christendom at leas
 t\, to Late Anti-quity. Islam holds an inherent notion of holy war\, jihad
 \, as a component of its beliefs and practices. Likewise\, Judaism\, Buddh
 ism and Hinduism all have histories which demonstrate a tradition of holy 
 war and resistance to holy war\, which in turn generated their own "counte
 r-traditions."\n\nThis workshop is intended to explore the uses and transf
 ormations of holy war traditions in a variety of religious milieus\, from 
 crusading in the West\, to religious anti-colonial warfare in modern South
 east Asia and to explore how some of these traditions\, anyway\, played up
 on one another to become part of the political-religious discourse between
  regions and communities. Bringing together experts from different religio
 us traditions and histories\, we hope to compare and contrast the concept 
 of holy war over the longue duree.\n\nWorkshop's programme\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Isomae Jun'ichi (Kyoto\, Japan)\n\n
 Six years have past since Northeast Japan was hit by the triple disaster. 
 But people in Northeast Japan have been aching in their hearts\, with sadn
 ess over the loss of their families and properties and the sense of guilt 
 for their own survival. Their indescribable experiences force us to rethin
 k the theory of religious subjectifications. The process of reglious subje
 ctifications sheds light on the act of translation and transference when w
 e think of our relationship with the dead. The dead becomes the roles of m
 ysterious others in Lacanian sense in order to construct our subjectivity.
  This talk explains how the experience of the Triple Disaster’s survivor
 s make it possible for us to construct new ways of subjectivity and to the
 orize unique the characteristics of ‘religious’ subjectification.\n\n\

SUMMARY:“Atmospheres”: Sacred Spaces between Immanence and Transcenden
 ce The Potential of a Concept for the Study of Religions

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:It is well established in research on religious traditions tha
 t sacred architecture has the function to make available the transcendent 
 with immanent means (Witt­mann-Englert 2006\, 7\; Krech 2012\, 20–21). 
 Built places\, however\, do not do so ‘on their own’ but only through 
 atmospheres – this is the basic hypothesis of our workshop.\n\nAtmospher
 es\, in a preliminary definition\, are the realized semantic potential of 
 socio-spatial arrangements which includes the meaning\, agency\, and sensa
 tion of physical space and which enables and restricts communication and s
 ociality.\n\nThe connections between spatial semantics\, atmospheres\, and
  transcendence/immanence have not been studied systematically from a relig
 ious studies perspective. In neighbouring disciplines however\, the concep
 t of atmospheres has been discussed (e.g. Schmitz 1969\; Böhme 2013). In 
 addition\, the recent turns in the social studies and humanities (spatial\
 , somatic\, material turn) have addressed aspects of what constitutes atmo
 spheres. This is where the workshop takes off: In interdisciplinary discus
 sion\, we will debate how the concept of atmospheres might be useful for t
 he study of religions.\n\nFinally\, sacred spaces are “contact zones” 
 (Pratt 2008)\, places where representatives of different cultural and reli
 gious traditions meet – particularly in culturally and religiously plura
 l societies. It is not just the “spatial iconicity” (Engelbart/Krech 2
 016\, 199) of sacred architecture which permits interreligious encounter (
 see also Knott et al. 2016). The atmosphere of these places can – in the
  emic perspective – be “inviting” or “excluding.” The dynamics o
 f inter- and intra-religious contact\, therefore\, are decisively but usua
 lly implicitly influenced by atmospheres. To understand these processes be
 tter\, the workshop takes a step towards a theoretically precise and metho
 dically operational concept of atmospheres.\n\nWorkshop's programme (in Ge

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture presented by Mark Porter (Erfurt)\n\nCongregatio
 nal singing has often become somewhat problematised within the contemporar
 y so-called "emerging church" movement. Emerging church groups\, through t
 heir self-consciously post-modern re-imaginings of Christianity bring into
  question not only ideas of group singing but of the congregation itself\,
  intentionally deconstructing the boundaries\, patterns and norms which ha
 ve typically served to define the congregational group. Rather than accept
 ing unquestioned the normative value of traditional authority sources\, em
 erging church participants de-construct and re-imagine Christian life and 
 worship within a range of traditional and non-traditional spaces.\n\nNever
 theless\, music and sound remain important\, if contested\, components of 
 emerging church practices.Patterns of sonic\, social and spiritual resonan
 ce established within evangelical or charismatic settings are deconstructe
 d\, modified and reconstructed in a broad variety of ways.\n\nThis talk wi
 ll explore musical dynamics within contemporary emerging church communitie
 s in the UK\, examining how new patterns of resonant interaction are const
 ructed when previous patterns are brought into question.\n\n\n

 and motifs in different languages and religious traditions\, the process o
 f this transmission\, the kind of texts that seem to be more likely to tra
 nscend such (imagined or real) boundaries\, and the kind of changes that o
 ccur in the process. Individual papers will focus on specific cases and te
 xts\, some noteworthy motifs that received a wide diffusion\, or explore t
 heoretical perspectives behind this tradition-transfer.\n\nThe workshop wi

  of texts travel and if we can detect any general patterns with respect to
  the content/genre of traveling texts and the religious traditions through

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The workshop presents a comparative inquiry on the significanc
 e of sleep\, its cultural coding and its connection to religion in the cul
 tures of antiquity. It focuses primarily on the main Eastern and Western c
 ivilizations up to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. \nIts primary ai
 m is to complement the wide scale research done on the topic of sleep in t
 he past decade by raising questions beyond the issue of dream narratives: 
 about the complementary\, dynamic states of sleep and wake\, about the bor
 der mediating between the two. How do western and eastern ancient cultures
  of antiquity evaluate sleep and wakefulness? What kinds of social\, ethic
 al values and religious ideas are linked to them\, what kind of sleepers -
  humans or gods – are represented in the sleeping state? Is there a divi
 nity responsible for falling into a faint\, a granter\, a depository – l
 ike the Greek Hypnos? Besides the imaginations of the deities of sleeping\
 , the realm of sleep and night remains a phenomenon that is closely connec
 ted to religious beliefs. \n\nIt has been regarded as a border crossing e
 xperience\, a crossing between life and death\, human and divine\, and in 
 this state of “in-between” many extraordinary things could happen\, su
 ch as healing\, divination or – through dreams – even journey into a t
 ranscendent world. We can raise the question: What do our texts and images
  tell us about the nature of sleep\, about its connection with the complem
 entary ideas of immanence and transcendence? What significant narratives c
 an be found about sleepers in the researched cultures? How do metaphors\, 
 analogies and counterpoints define the space of sleep? In what ways are th
 e various cultural codings of sleep linked to religious experiences\, to h
 eroization\, to death\, or immortality?\n\nWorkshop's programme\n

 ther researchers of maritime culture who are dealing with its religion\\s 
 from various perspectives and fields of research in order to discuss relig

 rical data) perspective.\n\nIt aims at two focal points: \n\n\n	a history
 -oriented focus includes a broad geographical and temporal range to inform
  each other about the breadth of empirical data\; \n	a theory-oriented fo
 cus aims at identifying different religious elements in those various mari
 time cultures in order to discuss what makes them distinct from profane el
 ements.\n\n\nThe discussions will also cover methodological questions abou
 t data of a rather vernacular culture and comparison between cul-tures and
  religions.\n\nWith this workshop initiates a continuative conversation be
 tween the research fields of cultural anthropology\, maritime history and

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Käte Hamburger Kolleg Dynamics in the History of Reli
 gions between Asia and Europe devoted the academic year 2016-2017 to the s
 crutiny of the role of the trans-cendence/immanence distinction (hencefort
 h\, TID) in cases of interreligious\, intrareligious\, and intersocietal c
 ontacts.\n\nAt the basic level the TID indicates a spatial relation\, i.e.
  a transgression of borders\, thus establishing a threefold structure of 
 ‘thereʼ and ‘hereʼ and the ‘borderʼ media-ting between the two (t
 he process of interrelation) as a dynamic process. The TID is associated w
 ith (1) spatial metaphors\, and with (2) ideas of movement (transgressing)
 . The dichotomous structure of the TID enables its basic function as media
 tion. It does so via contrast\, enabling the transformation of unspecific 
 (absolute) complexity into specific complexity. As such\, the distinction 
 indicates the (processing) unity of contraries or even contradictions. The
  concept consists of a binary (dichotomous)\, but interrelating\, distinct
 ion that introduces the idea of interplay as well as of process. This inte
 rnally processing basic unity\, seen as interplay\, leads to asser-tions g
 uided by a religiously meaningful TID.\n\nThe main purpose of this confere
 nce is to summarize the results of the research carried out in Bochum duri
 ng the last twelve months. It will do this\, during September 6-8\, 2017\,
  through presentations given by invited keynote speakers as well as by cur
 rent and former KHK fellows. \nThe conference will include both specific 
 case analyses of the relevance of the TID for particular examples of relig
 ious contacts\, and also theoretical reflections on the role of this theme
  within religions East and West. The participants to the confer-ence will 
 reflect on the thematic complexity and analytical challenges\, encountered
  during the year-long research on the theme of “TID in Religious Contact
 s\,” along the lines of four analytical fields: (a) Knowledge\; (b) Expe
 rience\; (c) Ritual\; and (d) Materiality. \n\nWorkshop's programme\n\n\n

 hristianity and Judaism is contested\, all the more the literary foundatio

 arts of the Abraham cycle and its reworking diachronically remains crucial
  for the understanding of the figure of Abraham and for Genesis as text. T
 he workshop brings together a group of textual specialists to continue a d
 iscussion on the literary growth of the Abraham cycle (Gen 12-25) against 
 background of recent Pentateuchal theory. The workshop is a follow up on t
 he growth of the Issac-tradition which was discussed in workshops before.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:In elaborating on the idea of an axial-age Karl Jaspers has pu
 t the self and the emergence of transcendence nicely together: “What is 
 new about this age\, in all three areas of the world\, is that man becomes
  conscious of Being as a whole\, of himself and his limitations. He experi
 ences the terror of the world and his own powerlessness. He asks radical q
 uestions. Face to face with the void he strives for liberation and redempt
 ion. By consciously recognising his limits he sets himself the highest goa
 ls. He experiences absoluteness in the depths of selfhood and in the lucid
 ity of transcendence. All this took place in reflection. Consciousness bec
 ame once more conscious of itself\, thinking became its own object.” (Or
 igin and Goal of History\, New Haven\, CT: Yale University Press\, 1953\, 
 2) \n\nIt is commonly accepted that both topics\, the so-called inner sel
 f\, which means reflexivity and rational constitution as the base of self-
  and world-understanding\, and the transcendence\, which means the capacit
 y of thinking beyond\, are quite crucial for the emergence of modernity. 
  While the epochal shift became a myth of origin\, it was more or less li
 nked with Plato and Augustin\, and thus detached from the broader horizon 
 Jaspers originally evoked. The conference will ask for the development\, i
 ts sources\, and the link between various approaches in Early China\, Anci
 ent Iran\, Ancient Greece\, and the Hebrew Bible. \n\nWorkshop's programm

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Kristoffer Laigaard Nielbo\, Interactive Mind
 s Centre\, Aarhus Universitet.\n\nHumans exhibit a species-unique capacity
  for long-term planning and future-oriented cognition. This ‘deep tempor
 ality’ is so fundamental to human behavior\, that it can be considered t
 he hallmark of our symbolically mediated environmental interactions. Cultu
 ral systems of symbolic production therefore exhibit long-range temporal d
 ependencies and non-linear dynamics that can present a challenge to conven
 tional methods in culture research. In this talk we present an approach th
 at combines Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Adaptive Fractal Analysis with
  concepts from Information Theory in order to detect change points and ano
 malies in cultural systems. To illustrate the approach’s application\, w
 e use two different dynamic cultural systems:\n\n\n	the collected writings
  of an influential Danish pastor and liberal thinker\, N.F.S. Grundtvig\;\
 n	and the Classical Chinese Book of History (Shang Shu) from the ctext cor
 pus.\n\n\nWe argue that\, when combined with sufficient domain knowledge i
 n language and culture\, the approach can be used to validate a set of gen
 eric theoretical claims about cultural stability and change.\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Prof Armin Geertz (Aarhus Universit
 y)\n\nThis talk will address a wide variety of issues in introductory form
  and\, hopefully\, give at least an indication of the possible avenues of 
 interaction and cooperation between the human\, social\, and natural scien
 ces. There are at least three obvious meeting places or intersections:\n\n
 \n	evolution\, deep history\, and social evolution (biological\, neurologi
 cal\, and social theory)\,\n	the minds in\, behind\, and beyond texts\, mo
 numents\, material objects and images (history and archaeology)\, and\n	th
 e minds and bodies of living religious people (anthropology and sociology)
 .\n\n\nOf course\, there are obvious problems in any multimodal\, multidis
 ciplinary attempt. Each science has its own concepts\, theories\, methods\
 , narrative and procedural styles\, all of which create mutually incompreh
 ensible worlds of their own. Thus\, there is a great need for translation 
 between the sciences and disciplines.\n\nWhy should we\, one might ask\, u
 se so much effort when there is so much else to do? Why should we brush up
  on our knowledge of chemistry\, the brain\, genetics\, zoology\, and evol
 utionary theory? We have challenges enough in learning languages\, trying 
 to decipher highly exotic texts\, or keeping track of informants in the fi
 eld. The answer to these questions is that there have been considerable br
 eakthroughs in the sciences (and archaeology) concerning human evolution\,
  physiology\, neuropsychology\, and social behavior. These breakthroughs d
 emand explanation. On the one hand\, no explanation will be adequate witho
 ut the knowledge and competencies of the humanities and social sciences. O
 n the other hand\, explanations by scholars in the humanities and social s
 ciences will not be adequate without the knowledge and competencies of the
  natural and psychological sciences. Human beings evolve\, live\, and die\
 , leaving their mark in genes\, culture\, society\, and the environment. A
 ll of the sciences and disciplines have important contributions to make in
  understanding and explaining who we are\, where we came from\, and where 
 we are going. Surely\, these are issues of central importance to the scien
 tific study of religion!\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The architecture of Christian churches was historically unders
 tood to provide a threshold between immanence and transcendence\, with lit
 urgy as the gatekeeper. Today a large section of the population seems to b
 e ignorant regarding the role of liturgical performance. In contrast\, the
  buildings themselves became perceived as enabling the grasp of transcende
 nce\, thus pointing towards a shift in understanding the relationship betw
 een build space and religious practice.\n\nThe workshop aims to come to a 
 basic understanding regarding potential roles of architecture as a means t
 o experience or divine transcendence. Researchers with backgrounds in vari
 ous religious studies on one hand and neighbouring fields with interest in
  'civil religions' inform about the traditional and modern practices (writ
 ten\, performed and built) to mark the threshold between immanence and tra
 nscendence\, both in Asia and Europe.\n\nWorkshop's programme\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Pieter Nanninga (Groningen)\n\nThe Islamic St
 ate (IS) has lost tens of thousands of fighters in battles and through air
 strikes over the last few years. Besides\, hundreds of fighters have kille
 d themselves by carrying out suicide attacks\, around 1100 of which were p
 erformed in 2016 alone. IS gives meaning to these deaths through the conce
 pt of martyrdom\, framing the killed fighters and suicide bombers as role 
 models who have sacrificed themselves ‘in the way of God’ and thus gai
 ned the ‘ultimate triumph.’ In this talk\, I will examine how IS propa
 gandises its ‘martyrs’ by exploring a number of martyr biographies pub
 lished in its magazines. I will demonstrate that IS appropriates early-Isl
 amic genres and themes to construct these biographies\, but meanwhile adap
 ts them to its own (thoroughly modern) purposes. As a result\, the ‘mart
 yrs’ are presented as genuinely Islamic role models\, who nevertheless e
 asily connect with the modern\, globalised and individualised lives of IS
 ’s target audience.\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Raoof Mir (Göttingen/New Delhi)\n\nThe gues
 t lecture presents a study that looks at the ways in which media and relig
 ion intersect in the spaces of social\, political and cultural practices i
 n the Muslim majority region of Kashmir Valley. By interpreting the existi
 ng literature on the history of Islam in Kashmir Valley through a communic
 ation perspective\, the study argues that that each form of media has cont
 ributed to the shaping of Islamic traditions in Kashmir Valley in distinct
 ive ways. The initial purpose of the study therefore is therefore to look 
 at the communication forms such as orality and literacy and their interpla
 y with Islamic traditions in Kashmir Valley. Later\, in order to explain h
 ow new media technologies such as print\, television\, cassettes and compu
 ter mediated technologies have contributed to articulation of new forms of
  religiosities\, this study takes an ethnographic turn by looking at the w
 ays in which Muslims individuals or Muslims groups in Kashmir use these me
 dia technologies to construct religious meanings.\n

SUMMARY:Subtle Subversions: Resisting Colonialism through Religion. The Im

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The conference is twofold into two parts:\n\nThe first day of 
 the conference (6 June 2017) will focus on the impact of colonialization o
 n the development of religious language.\n\nThe early period of colonialis
 m confronted a militant Roman Catholicism seeking to convert indigenous pe
 oples to the Latin Church with new linguistic challenges. Since failures o
 f mission could no longer be overseen\, problems of translating religious 
 language became paramount in theoretical considerations. Reflections on la
 nguage and theory of mission were closely connected.\n\nThe brutal exploit
 ation of the colonized lands also triggered processes of reflection and al
 ternative methods of mission\, based on considerations on communication an
 d translation. As it was not possible to refer to commonly shared conceptu
 al and historical contexts\, the reference to the senses as a medium of th
 e recognition of God became more important.\n\nIn its first part the joint
  workshop intends to examine the influence of colonial encounters on the f
 ormation and development of religious language in both Europe and the colo
 nies. It attempts to scrutinize if knowledge of non-European languages cha
 llenged and changed religious concepts and notions in the European languag
 e.\n\nAs the considerations on language evolved from European discussions 
 in the wake of Humanism\, Hebraism and the Reformation we intend to apply 
 and further develop the more general results of our former workshops on 'R
 eligious Language' (May 2012\, June 2013\, February 2014). \n\nThe second
  and third days of the conference (7-8 June 2017) will focus on the ways t
 hat colonized people "subtly subverted" their colonial overlords using rel
 igious expression (e.g.s ritual\, text\, music\, etc.).\n\nThe "Subtle Sub
 versions" workshop will focus on the interactions between colonized people
 s and their colonizers in which religion and religious expression were sit
 es through which resistance could be enacted. In contrast to some movement
 s that directly confronted their colonial oppressors (i.e. through warfare
 )\, we are interested in the subtle ways that colonized peoples used relig
 ious rhetoric\, performance\, and artistic productions to articulate the w
 orld around them that inherently resisted foreign military or administrati
 ve control. Particularly\, we will explore how these subtle subversions sh
 aped the colonial worlds for both the colonized and the colonizers and the
  lasting legacy that these strategies have had in our understanding of the

SUMMARY:CERES Computer Café: New Digital Tools for the History of Medicin

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Michael Stanley-Baker\, Max Planck Institute 
 for the History of Science\, Berlin.\n\nRecent shifts to performative\, pr
 actice and materiality-based approaches to the histories of religion and o
 f science have called into question the very categories with which we do o
 ur studies\, requiring more flexible research tools. The recent emergence 
 of Buddhist and Daoist Medicine as new fields of historical inquiry challe
 nges the habitual borders between earlier histories of religion and medici
 ne. As historians begin to draw on long-known insights from anthropology\,
  that therapeutic and salvific aims frequently converge in practice\, they
  have begun to investigate the admixture of “medical” practices such a
 s drugs\, needles and moxibustion with “religious” practices such as i
 ncantation\, spells and rituals. However\, there is currently no systemati
 c way to get an overview for how therapies were distributed.\n\nThis paper
  presents a pilot study of a platform which shows the distribution of ther
 apeutic practices across the Buddhist and Daoist canons\, the communities 
 who wrote these texts\, and across time and space. It is being developed b
 y Dept. III of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and Nat
 ional Taiwan University’s Research Centre for Digital Humanities\, in co
 ncert with Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts. The tool focusses on rep
 ertoires of material practice which can be identified as term lists. The c
 urrent study examines drug term distribution across Buddhist\, Daoist and 
 medical texts throughout Six Dynasties (ca 220-589 ce). It can show the st
 atistical distribution of large term sets across bibliographic and sectari
 an genres\, as well as time and space. We then markup texts for more detai
 led analysis\, which can then be visualised on GIS maps and subjected to a
 lgorithmic analysis.\n\nBy combining large-scale analytical tools and a fu
 ll-text database in the same platform\, this tool enables researchers to e
 asily switch between close and distant reading modes. While this pilot foc
 usses on drug knowledge\, it can be applied for any material practice whic
 h can be identified through large term set or vocabulary\, such as ritual 
 gestures\, acupuncture points\, body gods\, pantheons etc.\n\nFor more\, s

DESCRIPTION:The conference is twofold into two parts:\n\nThe first day of 
 the conference (6 June 2017) will focus on the impact of colonialization o
 n the development of religious language.\n\nThe early period of colonialis
 m confronted a militant Roman Catholicism seeking to convert indigenous pe
 oples to the Latin Church with new linguistic challenges. Since failures o
 f mission could no longer be overseen\, problems of translating religious 
 language became paramount in theoretical considerations. Reflections on la
 nguage and theory of mission were closely connected.\n\nThe brutal exploit
 ation of the colonized lands also triggered processes of reflection and al
 ternative methods of mission\, based on considerations on communication an
 d translation. As it was not possible to refer to commonly shared conceptu
 al and historical contexts\, the reference to the senses as a medium of th
 e recognition of God became more important.\n\nIn its first part the joint
  workshop intends to examine the influence of colonial encounters on the f
 ormation and development of religious language in both Europe and the colo
 nies. It attempts to scrutinize if knowledge of non-European languages cha
 llenged and changed religious concepts and notions in the European languag
 e.\n\nAs the considerations on language evolved from European discussions 
 in the wake of Humanism\, Hebraism and the Reformation we intend to apply 
 and further develop the more general results of our former workshops on 'R
 eligious Language' (May 2012\, June 2013\, February 2014). \n\nThe second
  and third days of the conference (7-8 June 2017) will focus on the ways t
 hat colonized people "subtly subverted" their colonial overlords using rel
 igious expression (e.g.s ritual\, text\, music\, etc.).\n\nThe "Subtle Sub
 versions" workshop will focus on the interactions between colonized people
 s and their colonizers in which religion and religious expression were sit
 es through which resistance could be enacted. In contrast to some movement
 s that directly confronted their colonial oppressors (i.e. through warfare
 )\, we are interested in the subtle ways that colonized peoples used relig
 ious rhetoric\, performance\, and artistic productions to articulate the w
 orld around them that inherently resisted foreign military or administrati
 ve control. Particularly\, we will explore how these subtle subversions sh
 aped the colonial worlds for both the colonized and the colonizers and the
  lasting legacy that these strategies have had in our understanding of the
  Religious Studies' taxonomies of "World Religions" and "Indigenous Religi

 verything. We are born unequal\, we die equal.“ This is a dictum by Sene

 l remains of Roman cemeteries of exactly that time\, we have to realise th
 at the tombs of that time do not reflect the idea of equality in death at 
 all. Instead\, their locations\, measures\, types\, decoration and overall
  effect are extremely heterogeneous. It is the aim of the paper to give an
  insight into the great variety of the tombs of the city of Rome in the 1s
 t and 2nd century AD and to discuss this heterogeneous appearance with reg
 ard to what it says about how the society of that time dealt with death\n

DESCRIPTION:\n\nMalabar on the west coast of South India was an important 
 node in the medieval Indian Ocean maritime trade networks at the juncture 
 of cross-cultural encounters between Southwest and Southeast Asia. The wor
 kshop will focus on the role of Arabic and Islam in engendering the transr
 egional networks that operated across the long-distance trade routes. Espe
 cially Madayi\, in north Malabar\, is a promising ground for interdiciplin
 ary research combining ar-chaeological excavations\, textual studies in Ar
 abic and Arabic-Malayalam and ethnoarchaeology to uncover the hidden histo
 ry of Islam in Malabar. Archaeologists\, historians\, ethnologists and exp
 erts on language and culture in the Arab world and in South Asia will gath
 er for combining their respective methodological approaches and analytical
  perspectives in studying the social and cultural history of the region. 
 \n\nThe Workshop Arabic and Islam on the Move: Cross-cultural Encounters 
 between Arabia and Malabar 900s-1500s is jointly organized by CERES and t
 he Department of History\, Government Brennen College in Kerala\, South In
 dia\, following a bilateral workshop that took place at Madayi in April 20

DESCRIPTION:\n\nTradition is a central concept with respect to religion. A
 t the same time\, it occupies a uniquely vague space between the life of r
 eligion as it is experienced from within (the “emic”)\, on the one han
 d\, and the more objectively-inclined scholarly study of religion from wit
 hout (the “etic”). From within\, ‘tradition’ is a concept that hel
 ps express historical continuity and to explain practices that do not seem
  to be commanded by the religion’s main structures of authority (“it
 ’s a tradition”). From without\, ‘tradition’ is a term we use to r
 eplace the perplexing and elusive ‘religion.’\n\nBeing at the intersec
 tion of diverse points of view\, ‘Tradition’ is therefore a valuable c
 oncept in order to bridge the gap between the real life of religion and th
 e theoretical account we hope to provide of it\, and it leads us toward th
 e questions of religious identity that we intend to be at the heart of our
  discussion. Traditions\, or religions\, somehow know who they are\, in sp
 ite of the drastic historical changes they go through.\n\nReligions have m
 any ways in which they look at and reflect upon themselves\, and the proce
 ss of self-reflection forms an important aspect of their identity and of t
 he process behind their development. We thus ask how traditions know who t
 hey are? How do they define themselves? How do they speak of continuity in
  face of change\, acknowledging their identity along the way?\n\nThe works

 derata in the study of both Gandharan art and Gandharan Buddhism. In this 
 respect\, the project will evaluate software and metadata standards in ord

 ist images\, particularly of their formal and iconographic features\, and 
 facilitate their comparison with corpora of Buddhist texts.\n\nThis kick-o

DESCRIPTION:REMIO Guest Lecture by Armen Kazaryan (Deputy Director\, State
  Institute for Art Studies\, Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation
 \, Moscow\, Russia)\n \n\nThe beginning of Seljuq architecture and of a n
 ew revival of Armenian architecture took place on the territory of the Arm
 enian Highlands and Anatolia starting with late 12th century. This marks a
 n entirely new and intense period of interactions between Christian and Is
 lamic traditions of art on these territories.\n\nThe lecture will focus on
  this artistic exchange\, presenting the typology of constructions of Arme
 nians and Seljuqs\, their architectural details and ornamental motives\, a
 s well as the artistic tastes of these two peoples who co-existed on these
  lands\, indicating various intriguing similarities and differences. Havin
 g rather different sources of inspiration\, as well as distinct trajectori
 es of development\, the architecture of Armenians and Seljuqs of the 13th 
 century became akin to each other in several features.\n\nIt is impossible
  to explain this kind of visual entanglement only by the work of common\, 
 in this case Armenian\, masters. More complex cultural processes must have
  been at play. Moreover\, while such interactions are undeniable\, the arc
 hitectural production of Armenians and Seljuqs also preserved specific ima
 gery proper to each traditions. This trend is reflected not only in religi
 ous and memorial architecture\, but also in the caravan-sarais\, that serv
 ed as way-stations on international trade routes. All these issues\, to be
  discussed in the lecture\, have been barely touched in scholarly literatu
 re\, even if they seem to be of prime importance in today's world.\n\nThe 
 lecture series is sponsored by the RUB Research School and CERES.\n

DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, the German-Israeli conference on Moshe Ba
 rasch (b. 1920 in Czernowitz\, d. 2004 in Jerusalem) introduces his wide w
 ork to a broad audience within the German-speaking hemisphere. Awarded 199
 6 with the Israel-Prize\, the art historian is the founding father of the 
 academic art history in Israel.\n\nStarting from his early years in East C
 entral Europe\, the conference will explore the complex relations between 
 the Jewish culture of the East and Modern Art right before the outbreak of
  the Second World War and their effect on his understanding of art. In reg
 ard to cultural transfers\, the scientification and uprgading of art histo
 ry in the years after the foundation of Israeli--for which he draws respon
 sible--will be discussed widely. Additionally\, the interdepentencies betw
 een Moshe Barasch's late question within the field of art history and a an
 thropology of religion based in visual culture\, shall be addressed.\n

DESCRIPTION:The workshop proposes to examine Zâr and other spirit possess
 ion rituals\, in religiously and geographically comparative contexts\, in 
 both its present and historical manifestations. The performance of possess
 ion rituals\, and specifically Zâr\, is not restricted to a specific reli
 gious tradition since\, for example\, it has been performed by Jews in Mag
 hreb as well as by Muslim in Iran. Geographically\, the phenomenon\, or a 
 series of related phenomena which fall under the broad designation of “Z
 âr”\, is widespread throughout a variety of regions of Africa\, parts o
 f Asia\, and later in Europe\, and the Americas. Moreover\, it has been at
 tested in different historical periods.\n\nAlthough Zâr has been studied 
 closely in different geographical domains by ethnographers\, it has been r
 arely been the subject of systematic\, comparative studies. The workshop a
 ims to fulfill this desideratum. For this workshop\, we bring together the
  specialists of Zâr and similar forms of spirit possession\, who have stu
 died these rituals in different chronological\, religious\, and geographic
 al regions in order to explore their historical connections and social asp
 ects.\n\nProgramme of the workshop\n

DESCRIPTION:REMIO Guest Lecture by Alexei Muraviev (Higher School of Econo
 mics\, Moscow\, Russia)\n \n\nChristian missionaries who carried out the 
 task of bringing the Gospel to the distant lands of the Roman (and beyond-
 Roman) countries were on many occasions not the first to come there. Quite
  often they headed to places where Jewish emigrees lived already. There ar
 e three specific cases where it was clearly so.\n\nThe first was a story r
 ecorded in the hagiographic dossier of St Nino of Georgia\, whose Inventio
 n of the Holy Vivifying Column was based on some Judeo-Christian memories 
 of local Jewry. The second one is the story of the Indian journey of St Th
 omas who turned to out to find the would-be Cochin Jewish community while 
 preaching on the Malabar Coast. The third occasion is of some later date b
 ut quite an eloquent one. Some local Jewish community on\nboth sides of th
 e Red Sea played an important role in the construction of the Ethiopic ide
 ntity. Some Jewish missionaries converted the king Du-Nuwas in Yemenite Hi
 myar to Judaism.\n\nAt the same time Jewish communities were strongly repu
 ted in Aksum for bringing there the Arc of the Covenant connected with the
  Solomonic legend of the Ethiopian kingship (reflected in the Kebra Negest
 ). There is a similarity in all these stories pointing to some stream of e
 migrees prior to the Destruction of the Temple and making up the diasporal
  Jewish community.\n\nThe lecture series is sponsored by the RUB Research 
 School and CERES.\n

DESCRIPTION:REMIO Guest Lecture by Arezou Azad (University of Birmingham\,
  UK)\n\nThe lands in present-day Afghanistan\, before the arrival of Islam
 \, enjoyed a distinct religious mix of Buddhists\, Zoroastrians\, Christia
 ns\, Jews\, and adherents to local cults who cohabited single spaces. Thes
 e societies flourished in large urban centres\, as well as rural metropoli
 ses and small towns. Diversity was\, no doubt\, a function of being situa
 ted at a crossroads of the so-called "silk road" trade networks\, which do
 ubled as pilgrimage routes.\n\nReligious diversity\, together with the lin
 guistic and ethnic mix in the region during the transition to Islamic rule
  in the eastern Islamic caliphate and its Muslim successor dynasties\, may
  account for a particular conversion pattern in new Islamic Afghanistan. T
 he lecture will discuss some new approaches to studying the religious hist
 ory of medieval Afghanistan and introduce a fascinating corpus of local hi
 stories and documentary records that will be used to ascertain the pattern
 s of conversion after the Islamic conquests and how conversion to Islam ha
 s been remembered in Afghanistan and the Persianate world.\n\nThe lecture 
 series is sponsored by the RUB Research School and CERES.\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Prof. Dr. Armando Salvatore (McGill
  University\, Montreal)\n\nThe lecture will delineate some key trajectorie
 s in the history of the Islamic ecumene through which saintly charisma was
  appropriated by various rulers for the sake of political legitimacy. The 
 presentation will also focus on the shifting role of religious knowledge p
 roduction in the process. The analysis will show the emergence of original
  forms of precolonial political modernity that can be contrasted with the 
 European Leviathan-model of sacral sanctioning of sovereignty. Examples ar
 e mainly drawn from the evolution of Ottoman rule and court culture in the
  larger context of early modern Islamicate empires and their changing reli
 gio-political cultures.\n

DESCRIPTION:Talk given by Dr. Maren Freudenberg (CERES)\n\nThe talk sheds 
 light on two diverging trends within the religious landscape of the U.S.: 
 the increase of so-called "nones" - citizens that do not belong to any chu
 rch\, denomination or religious group at all - and the growing popularity 
 of charismatic and Neo-Pentecoastal movements. Followers of both groups ar
 e characterised by totally different ways of life\, and attitudes towards 
 societal participation.\n\nThis development points to a growing chasm not 
 only within the religious landscape\, but even further within society and 
 culture\, which certainly will have an impact on politics\, not only in th
 e coming presidential elections but beyond.\n\n \n\nThe talk is part of t
 he conference "Still 'God's Own Country': Religion and the 2016 American P
 residential Elections"\, Humboldt University Berlin\, Theological Faculty\

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Dr. Sophia Katz (Tel-Hai College\,
  Qiryat Shemona)\n\nThe presentation assesses the philosophical approache
 s to the process of attaining ultimate knowledge found in the writings of 
 the Advaitic philosopher\, Adi Sankara (788-820)\, and the Ming dynasty Co
 nfucian scholar\, Zhan Ruoshui 湛若水 (1466-1560). Despite the fact tha
 t Advaita Vedanta and Confucianism differ in their perceptions of selfhood
  and in their premises regarding the nature of reality\, scrutiny of textu
 al examples shows that the two thinkers promote a path of intellectual/spi
 ritual realization characterized by both ineffability and rationality.\n\n
 On the one hand\, both Sankara and Zhan claim that ultimate knowledge is u
 nreachable through intellectual speculation: it implies mystical directnes
 s and must be accompanied by silence. On the other hand\, the intellectual
  preparation of the aspirants by means of reading Hindu and Confucian scri
 ptures is considered necessary by both scholars. The importance of scriptu
 res in the process of attaining ultimate knowledge makes Sankara’s intel
 lectual/spiritual vision closer to the Confucian approach of Zhan Ruoshui 
 than to the vision depicted in the Daoist sources\, the Daodejing and the 
 Zhuangzi\, notable for their anti-intellectual claims. In addition\, the a
 ssessment of Sankara’s and Zhan Ruoshui’s perceptions of selfhood and 
 their understanding of the mystical oneness enables evaluation of the spec
 ific forms of philosophical mysticism accepted in Advaita Vedanta and Conf
 ucianism\, suggesting the existence of surprising parallels between them.\

DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Kirill Solonin (Renmin University\,
  Beijing)\n\nThe presentation probes into a specific version of Kumārajī
 va lore discovered in one Tangut commentary to the Diamond sūtra. The com
 mentary itself is apparently a composition based on the Northern Song reco
 nstructed version of the Jingang jing 金刚经纂 originally composed dur
 ing the late Tang by the famous Huayan master Guifeng Zongmi. The text was
  later reconstructed by the Northern Song Huayan master Jinshui Jingyuan 
 晋水净源 and eventually found its way into the Tangut state. Although 
 the commentary generally adheres to the Huayan manner of interpretation\, 
 the preface to the text contains specific Tangut version of the legend of 
 Kumārajīva\, who is identified with several important figures of Indian 
 and Tibetan Buddhism. This probably represents the specifically Tangut int
 erpretation of the Buddhist history in India and China.\n\nPersonal inform

DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, the religious landscape of Western Germany chan
 ged dramatically as result of what has been described as religious crisis 
 (Hugh McLeod). Both\, the massive increase of organized denominational Chr
 istianity (Protestant Church and Roman-Catholic Church) as well as the cha
 nging position of the Churches within society are only two bold illustrati
 ons for this. But whether this Church decline led to the arrival and expan
 sion of new forms of religions is still matter of vivid academic discussio
 n.\n\nThe workshop "Widerschein der Erleuchtung - Rezeptionen fernöstlich
 er neuer religiöser Bewegungen in der Bundesrepublik seit den 1970er Jahr
 en" (Reflex of Enlightenment – The Reception of the Asian New Religious 
 Movement in West Germany of the 1970s) is based on the assumption that new
  forms of religion were massively generated by the reception of imported r
 eligious traditions\, which themselves were conceived as ‘disruption’ 
 of the existing religious field and had to be somehow dealt with. The focu
 s is on Zen Buddhism\, the Hare Krishna movement the Transcendental Medita
 tion and the Bhagwan movement. These movements were partly scandalized and
  party banalised within the public sphere. The reactions of the Churches o
 scillated between offering an ‘interreligious dialogue’ and (even fier
 ce) activities of defense. Though politicians especially favored a strong 
 defence against the ‘secret seducers’.\n\nHowever\, it were especially
  the youth and the pop culture that adpoted these new religious forms. Asi
 an inspired religious movements found not only their links to the subject 
 orientation and inwardness proclaimed by the ‘alternative lifestyle’\,
  but also left traces in the pop music\, the arts\, and fashion of that ti
 me. The questions of how and which elements came to the cultural mainstrea
 m by influencing language and symbolic practices is yet to be unanswered. 
 Given that\, the workshop is designed to analyze and describe the density 
 and impact of these religious phenomena.\n\nProgramme of the workshop (in

DESCRIPTION:After having been disregarded in favour of doctrines and dogma
 s for a long time\, the sensory dimension of religions has recently attrac
 ted a large scholarly attention in religious studies. \n\nIn tune with th
 e surrounding academic landscape\, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg Dynamics in 
 the History of Religions between Asia and Europe (funded by the German Min
 istry of Education and Research) has devoted the academic year 2015-2016 t
 o the scrutiny of the role of the theme “senses” from the perspective 
 of interreligious\, intrareligious and intersocietal contact. \n\nThe con
 ference on "Religion and the Senses" shall summarize the main results of t
 his work. Through keynote talks\, inputs and short statement given by gues
 ts\, current and former fellows\, the conference shall\, on the one hand\,
  look at the theme “senses” in moments of contact and\, an the other h
 and\, reflect on the role of this theme within religions East and West. Gi
 ven the thematic complexity and analytical challenges hidden behind the ke
 y-word “senses”\, talks\, inputs and statements will focalize on four 
 fields: the role of senses in\n\n    (a) notions\,\n    (b) doctrine
 s\, \n    (c) ritual\n    (d) media of religions.\n\nConference pro

DESCRIPTION:Islamic Performance Traditions across Regions between West and
  Southeast Asia is a workshop on the traditions of performing religious te
 xts and their  variation across languages and regions. It aims to link sch
 olars working  on Islamic traditions from West to Southeast Asia\, who are
  otherwise  scattered along various academic disciplines. Performance is t
 aken in  the broad sense of reciting\, transmitting and representing textu
 al  traditions. The workshop seeks to explore the variety of sensations th
 at  accompany recitals like sound (tunes\, rhythms\, refrains\, musical  i
 nstruments)\, smell (perfumes\, flowers\, incense) and taste (sweets\,  be
 verages\, fruits) and their functions as channels for the transmission  an
 d reception of devotion and merit. The presentations deal with the  implic
 ations of the varieties of performance traditions on the dynamics  between
  the canon of ritual obligations and local practices\, the written and the
  audible and between the verbal/semantic and the emotional/sensual.

DESCRIPTION:Cultural Intimacy\, Boundaries and Sensations: Jewish-Muslim r
 elations in Central Asia\nChen Bram's research combines anthropological an
 d historical study to explore connections between intergroup relations\, r
 eligiosity and collective identities. It examines Jewish-Muslim relations 
 in Ferghana Valley\, Uzbekistan\, in late Soviet Period and in post-Soviet
  era. This research proposes a theoretical framework that focuses on inter
 group cultural intimacy as a contribution to the better understanding of J
 ewish-Muslim relations and intergroup relations. Informal practices\, in w
 hich sensations are playing important role\, are central to the developmen
 t of cultural intimacy that allows the maintenance of social networks beyo
 nd religious and ethnic boundaries. Moreover\, it also allows overcoming a
 ttempts to create tensions and to stress differences between these groups.
 \nThis study is part of wider research that aims to explore the meaning of
  past experiences to current intergroup relations between Jewish immigrant
 s from Central Eurasia and their Muslim neighbors in Israel and other new 
 locations (such as New York City). This guest lecture will focus on the an
 thropological- historical part of the research.

DESCRIPTION:Is there a 'Sogdian Pantheon'? Regionalism and Local Variation
 s in the Religion of the Sogdians (5th-8th centuries CE)\nThe religion of 
 the Sogdians in the Late Antique period is usually referred tо as a singl
 e phenomenon assuming the existence of a common 'Sogdian Pantheon'. Sogdia
 na is a geographical and not a political term. There was never a unified '
 Sogdian state' but a collection of independent or semi-independent princip
 alities sharing common culture\, language and background\, but also demons
 trating important regional differences. It is about time that we approach 
 also the Sogdian religion in terms of temporal development and regional va
 riations.\nThe paper will discuss the primary sources for the study of the
  Sogdian religion\, which is mainly the iconography. It will emphasize the
  neglected\, but significant fact that 80 % of the material on the Sogdian
  religious iconography comes from Panjikent\, which was not even among the
  five largest Sogdian cities and it is also chronologically limited to the
  740s.

DESCRIPTION:OLFACTION AND XIANGGuest Lecture by Paolo Santangelo\nA  short
  presentation of researches and methods will introduce Paolo  Santangelo's
  theoretical premises and hypotheses on cultural  "contruction" of emotion
 s and sensations\, and their important social  role. A synthesis on anthro
 pological meanings of olfaction and odours  will follow. Some reflections 
 will focus on the analysis of the use of  the term xiang 香\, "incense"
 \,  "fragrance"\, "beauty" on the basis of about 300 selected examples. Th
 e  occurrences of the main terms and their meanings will be commented. Th
 e  most common meaning is incense\, which\, disclosing the way of  communi
 cation between the human being and the supernatural world\, is  used for r
 eligious purposes and ritual ceremonies\, the worship of  divinities and s
 upernatural powers\, or the funerary ceremonies for the  defunct\, an ance
 stors\, a revered saint. Incense has also an important  role in the ritual
 s for solemnise a pledge\, a pact of brotherhood\,  friendship\, marriage\
 , any oath of alliance. Thus incense is mainly the  manifestation of a rel
 igious attitude\, and can also be indicative for  the charisma of a monk o
 r a magician\, as well as the volume of affairs  of a monastery: the effic
 acy in answering to the requests of the  devotees and the miraculous power
  (ling靈)  demonstrated by the divinity or the saint are proportional to 
 the fame  and wealth of the sacred place.  As for the second main meaning
 \, perfume\,  it refers to a relatively large amount of fragrances\, some
  of them of  vegetal or floral origin\, some of supernatural character (fr
 om  immortals\, spirits and gods). In case of fragrance coming from female
 s'  bodies\, it is evident that at the same time their aroma reflects thei
 r  charm. In  the "Peony Pavilion"\, the sanctification of love-passion l
 et the loved  Liniang's body take the place of a saint's relics\, and thus
  she dies and  then resurrects with her whole integer and fragrant body\, 
 and the  mixture of sacred and eroticism is expressed by "heavenly fragran
 ce"\, tianxiang. Analogously several female immortals in Liaozhai have 
  a rare fragrance which derives from their supernatural condition\, while 
  it is evident that their fragrance reflects the desire and admiration  th
 at they provoke in their lovers or in men who deal with them. The  materia
 l is not very rich of information on the kind of religiosity and  the char
 acters of the worship. However\, a few elements are very  interesting for 
 understanding the religious phenomenon. Although the  religious phenomenon
  in China has characters different from other areas\,  and the ritual aspe
 cts are often dominant\, we can notice both inner  fervour and a kind of p
 ersonal relationship with gods and spirits. We  can understand how the rel
 igious attitude is expressed in its  consolatory function\, devotion for b
 egging favours\, worshipping the  supernatural entity\, concentrating in a
 n act that is the manifestation  of an inner state. The metaphor of the in
 cense burning in heart (心香奉佛)  expresses the deep attitude of the 
 devotee. The ceremony centered in  burning and offering incense is often a
 ccompanied by other acts\, like  purification\, sacrifices\, prayers\, and
  opens a special dimension in the  inner experience of the devotee.

DESCRIPTION:Enslaving the Creator: Analogies of Religion and Capital in th
 e early and late Works of Karl Marx\nJens Schlamelcher (CERES)\nWhat are t
 he differences between 'economy' and 'religion'? How can we grasp the rela
 tion between these two 'spheres'\, 'fields' or 'functional systems'? These
  questions are still paramount in the sociology of religion. Recent approa
 ches such as proposed in the new paradigm of economics of religion tend to
  deny any differences between them\, conceiving religionas just another 'm
 arket'. As this paper will show\, the classic Karl Marx has found more sub
 tle answers to these questions. This presentation aims to revisit his insi
 ghts and show the intrinsic analogies between religion and capital in his 
 theory. Marx never questioned Feuerbach's thesis of religion as a human in
 vention resulting in subordination. However\, he revealed that capital fun
 ctions in precisely the same way on a material plane. Second\, Marx proved
  that capitalist modes of exploitation can\, due to its generic production
  of 'false consciousness'\, ignore religion as a primary justification for
  material exploitation.Thus\, Marx offers an understanding of both moderni
 ty and re-sacralization at the same time.\nThis paper will be presented in
  panel Economy and religion beyond neoclassical economics of religion (28-

DESCRIPTION:Researching Religions & Politics – Young German Perspectives
 \nPanel Chair: Ulf Plessentin\nPolitical conditions often had and still ha
 ve a profound influence on religious groups. Likewise\, religious groups e
 ndeavour to impact politics\, policy-making\, and politicians\, both in pa
 st and present times. Topics in the nexus of religion and politics are the
 refore an integral part of any scientific study of religions. Novel and in
 teresting research has been conducted by sociologists\, political scientis
 ts and scholars of religious studies over the last decade. Due to their cr
 oss-cultural and historical perspectives\, religious studies can contribut
 e fruitfully to ongoing academic discussions. In order to provide a platfo
 rm that unites different approaches\, a working group on religions and pol
 itics was founded within the DVRW\, the German section of IAHR. In this pa
 nel\, young scholars present their research\, especially on processes of a
 daptation to and transformation of political structures. Additionally\, th
 e mechanisms by which political conditions foster innovative or traditiona
 l religious structures and practices shall be discussed.\nWith:\n\nThomas

DESCRIPTION:Innovation in Contemporary Evangelical Christianity (2)\nPanel
  Chair: Martin Radermacher (CERES)\nConsidering revivalism\, processes of 
 institutionalization of churches and revitalization of traditions\, Evange
 lical and Charismatic Christianity have been the prototype of both innovat
 ion and tradition from the start. This apparent paradox and interdependenc
 y will be in the center of this panel: How is it possible for movements an
 d communities to flesh out an identity\, encourage innovative methods\, an
 d still feel ingrained in religious tradition? What normative role do text
 s and readaptations of texts play? How does the body become a means of rel
 igious innovation and regulation? Evangelicals navigate between engagement
  and distancing – what Lynne Gerber (2012) calls (following Smith) the 
 “evangelical dance of engagement and distinction”. This condition fost
 ers cultural adaptations that include\, e.g.\, media and new technologies 
 which transform what they transport (Birgit Meyer 2010) and thus entail  
 innovation. The panel welcomes papers on evangelical and charismatic pract
 ices and discourses from different regions in the world in contemporary pe
 rspective addressing these questions.\nMartin Radermacher (CERES) will cha
 ir this international panel.\n(panel 28-202 | 112)

DESCRIPTION:Change we need. Dynamics in the History of Religions between s
 emantics and Social forms\nVolkhard Krech (CERES\, KHK)\nSocial change in 
 general is usually conceptualized as an ongoing process (e.g.\, as “mode
 rnization”). However\, there could be no innovation if there was no cont
 inuity (e.g.\, “tradition”). The same holds true for the history of re
 ligions. It will be argued that the history of religions can be conceptual
 ized best by considering the dialectics between process and structure\, co
 ndensation and diffusion as well as dynamics and stability. The history of
  religions proceeds between these (and other) poles. The oscillation is ba
 sed on the interplay between semantics and social forms. Free floating sem
 antics are canalized inspecial social forms (groups\, currents\, organizat
 ions)\, and social forms are legitimized by certain semantics.\nThis paper
  will be presented in panel Theorizing and Analyzing Religious Change (28-

DESCRIPTION:Glocalization of Korean Migrant Churches in West Germany\nSabr
 ina Weiß (CERES)\nAt the present time around 30.000 Koreans live in Germa
 ny. Since the 1970s\, some of them established up to 30 immigrant churches
  alone in North-Rhine Westphalia. These immigrant churches changed over ti
 me into diaspora churches\, which no longer serve as sanctuaries for the f
 irst generation of Korean migrants. One reason for processes of change was
  intern diversification due to further immigration of Korean students and 
 businessmen and intergenerational conflicts. A glocal perspective is\, con
 sidering the Korean diaspora churches in their social field\, stretched ou
 t between their place of residence\, countries of origin and the globally 
 connected communities as the starting point of analysis. The paper focuses
  upon three specific glocal religious activities: the exchange of guest pr
 eachers\, passion for foreign mission and civic engagement\, and donation 
 behavior. It concludes by noting that globalization facilitates the growth
  of glocal networks of religious actors.\nThis paper will be presented in

DESCRIPTION:Gnosis\, Hairesis\, and Mani: Fourth-century Religious Vocabul
 ary and Its Modern Adjustments\nEduard Iricinschi (KHK fellow)\n“Gnostic
 ism\,” Heresiology\,” and “Manichaeism” are modern concepts in con
 stant need of theoretical fine-tuning. Over the past decades\, scholars ad
 justed the Nag Hammadi codices and the Manichaean texts to the more genera
 l contexts of “heresy\,” “gnosis\,” and “dualism.” This paper 
 explores the ways in which scholars adapted gnosis\, knowledge religiously
  codified in rituals and teachings\, and often presented as revelations ab
 out invisible realities\, into “Gnosticism\,” a seventeenth-century\, 
 Protestant linguistic invention\, to describe the Catholic Church. It will
  also sketch the trajectories through which philosophical hairesis\, used 
 by second- and third-century Christian writers as a rhetorical tool to des
 cribe religious diversity and\, simultaneously\, to reduce it to a caricat
 ure of itself\, later became “heresies\,” as depicting full-blown reli
 gious\, social\, and political aberrations. Finally\, it will suggest that
  modern scholars follow ancient Christian writers’ use of the same rheto
 ric of difference\, to impose artificial boundaries between the followers 
 of Mani and “real” Christians.\nThis paper will be presented in panel 
 Taxonomies of Religion in the Ancient and Modern Worlds (27-319 | 216).

  Religious icons mediate between religious concepts and objects and materi
 alize religion in the public space. In this two session panel we will cons
 ider to what extent such icons\, in the form of sacred buildings and sites
 \, clothing\, public events etc\, generate social imaginaries about differ
 ent religions and their co-existence. In what ways do they invoke or feed 
 into debates about the place of religion in ‘secular’ public life\, an
 d the management ofreligious diversity? Do they stimulate positive or nega
 tive encounters? Examining religious icons in relation to the encounter be
 tween different religious traditions and between the religious and the sec
 ular\, the panel will discuss how ‘iconicity’ is denoted or generated\

DESCRIPTION:From Content and Structure to Structure of Content: Text Netwo
 rk Analysis in the Study of Religions\nFrederik Elwert (KHK postdoc & CERE
 S)\nResearch in the study of religions moves between the poles of social s
 tructure (e.g.\, religious institutions\, social settings) and religious c
 ontent (e.g.\, scriptures\, teachings). The sociology of religion often ha
 s to defend against the claim that she favours the study of social structu
 res over the analysis of religious content or\, as Weber put it\, interest
 s over ideas. Philological approaches in contrast have been accused of ove
 remphasising scriptures at the expense of social context and lived religio
 n. Recent approaches in text-based network analysis promise to bridge this
  divide\, at least partially. They allow to visualise and study structures
  internal and external to texts\, in conjunction with their content. On th
 e methodological level\, they can be discussed with regard to their implic
 ations and limitations. The paper will present findings from the completed
  project SeNeReKo as well as an outlook for future directions in this fiel
 d of study.\nThis paper will be presented in panel Challenging Traditional

DESCRIPTION:Does tolerance increase through migration? A Case study on Pak
 istani Muslim migrants in Germany\nSajida Fazal (CERES\, PhD student)\nThi
 s paper is going to examine to what extent intra-religious boundaries and 
 differences as perceived in Pakistan transform in the Diaspora. It will ex
 plore how far Sunni and Shia relations are altered and which perspectives 
 and constraints are discernible in the new environment. For this purpose t
 he affiliation to the denomination and organisational structure will be ex
 amined by asking whether religious rituals and rules are maintained\, aban
 doned\, or substituted by others from different sub-denominations by the m
 igrants. In this respect\, the transnational networking of migrants will b
 e considered in order to explore the impact of religious authorities in th
 e homeland and in the Diaspora. In the scope of this qualitative research 
 20 narrative interviews have been conducted in Germany in 2014 with Pakist
 ani Muslim migrants and analysed based on a grounded theory approach. This
  paper argues that the interactions of diverse Pakistani Muslim migrants c
 ontribute to foster tolerance among them in the Diaspora situation.\nThis

DESCRIPTION:Response and commentary\nby Oliver Freiberger (KHK fellow) to 
 the panelists of panel Faking Asceticism: East and West\nPanel Chairs: Alm
 ut Barbara Renger\, Tudor Sala\nThe ancient world was a culture of suspici
 on. The individual\, whether stranger\, neighbor\, or kin\, was under cons
 tant scrutiny in a face-to-face society in which rivalry\, competition\, a
 nd misgivings nagged at the surface of the self. The circumstance of being
  world-renouncers would not have placed ascetics in the blind spot of publ
 ic mistrust. The performative\, elitist\, and counter-cultural aspects of 
 ancient asceticism actually exposed it to a heightened scrutiny from outsi
 ders\, critics\, and rivals alike. The papers of the panel thematize pract
 ices and polemics that constructed ‘ascetic deceit’ in Mediterranean a
 nd Asian cultures\, with a special focus on the processes of institutional
 ization\, innovation\, and change that initiated or framed the various nor
 mative dichotomies of ‘genuine’ versus ‘fake’.\n(panel 25-118 | 11

DESCRIPTION:Response and commentary \nby Alex Cuffel (CERES) to the paneli
 sts of panel Equilibrium - Violence - Entanglement: Interaction between mi
 nority and majority religious communities in the Middle Ages\nPanel Chair:
  Dorothea Weltecke (former KHK research fellow)\nReligious affiliation and
  identity has to be repeatedly negotiated\, defined\, and chosen. The exte
 rnal borders of religions are repeatedly redetermined and penetrated.. Fre
 quently\, quantitativerelationships between religious groups are incongrue
 nt with prevailing power relationships. Followers of dominant religions co
 ntinueto quite often be numerically inferior so that nondominant religious
  communitieshave had to take on subordinate positions. This process has di
 rect consequences for\, on the one hand\, social\, economic\, and cultural
  development and\, on the other hand\, the development of religious doctri
 nes and convictions themselves. Notrarely\, and across a broad societal sp
 ectrum\, religious minorities have seen themselves subjected to persecutio
 n\, violence\, or exclusion. Models explaining religious violence need the
 oretical and methodological refinement. This panel will deal with these as
 pects of interaction between majority and minority religious communities b
 y selecting case studies from diverse cultural milieus ranging from mediev
 al Anatolia to South Asia.\n(Panel 25-106 | 122)

DESCRIPTION:Secular voices on air? Western debates on religion\, secularis
 m and Public Service Broadcasting\nTim Karis (KHK post-doc)\nRegulatory fr
 ameworks of public service broadcasters (PSBs) across Europe are full of r
 eferences to religions. In Germany\, for example\, the Catholic and Protes
 tant Churches as well as the Jewish communities are legally provided with 
 air time on PSB television and radio. In times of increasing religious div
 ersity as well as growing secularization\, criticisms of such regulation i
 s spreading as many consider it to run counter to the principle of separat
 ion of state and religion. Others argue that existing privileges for relig
 ions should be extended to secular groups who have hitherto often been exc
 luded from direct access to PSBs either by law or by common practice. In t
 his paper\, recent examples of such debates from the German\, British and 
 Dutch contexts are presented. As it is argued\, an analysis of such debate
 s reveals how different and often ambiguous notions of religion\, seculari
 ty and the public space are competing in Western discourse.\nThis paper wi

DESCRIPTION:The Economic Study of Ritual-Oriented Religions: The Neglect o
 f Priesthood\nKianoosh Rezania (KHK fellow)\nThe focus on belief-oriented 
 religions\, specifically Christianity\, in the current economic study of r
 eligion\, together with the abundance of sources from North-America in thi
 s field\, leads scholars to pay less attention to ritual-oriented religion
 s in non-Western cultures. This paper will discuss the above methodologica
 l limitations in current economic theories of religion\, by illustrating i
 t with a case-study on Zorostrian rituals. The paper will point out the im
 portance of Zoroastrian priesthood for modelling economic theories of reli
 gion\, taking into account that Zoroastrian priests were considered to be 
 the real supplier of religious content in rituals. This paper will show th
 at\, for the economic modeling of these religions\, it is necessary to dis
 tinguish three types of households: lay-households\, priest-households and
  ritual institutions (e. g. temples). Finally\, the paper will consider th
 e economic connections between these three types of households.\nThis pape
 r will be presented in panel Method and Theory in Religious Studies: Compl

 nstitutions in countries where religion is legally separated from the publ

 research of ‘religion’ in several public institutions in different Eur
 opean and/ or North American countries\; but\, what does it mean to do res
 earch on ‘religion’ in public institutions? The question does not only
  touch upon the issue of research practice\, but also raises fundamental m
 ethodological considerations\, and calls for consideration of science-poli
 cy and -politics that arise from a specific understanding of what is meant
  by the ‘Study of Religions’. Overall\, it can be stated that research
  on religion has to be analysed on different levels and from different per
 spectives\, because there are also several understandings of ‘religion
 ’. After a general introduction by the chairwomen\, the participants wil
 l discuss this overarching topic of the panel with reference to their own 
 research experience.\n(panel 24-203 | HS 3)

DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Methodical in 'the Comparative Method'\nOliver F
 reiberger (KHK fellow)\nComparison\, in the narrower sense\, has been a co
 mmon and fundamental activity in the academic study of religion from the v
 ery beginning of the discipline. It has also been fundamentally criticized
  primarily for its potential to decontextualize and essentialize and for b
 eing used by scholars with theological\, phenomenological\, colonial\, or 
 other agendas. Yet comparative studies keep being produced—with varying 
 degrees of reflexivity about the comparative process. If comparison is a s
 ubject of reflection at all\, the discussed points are most often theoreti
 cal\, sometimes methodological\, but almost never methodical. Rarely have 
 scholars suggested concrete and applicable frameworks and techniques for c
 arrying out a comparative study. Summarizing a larger and more complex arg
 ument\, this paper outlines such a concrete procedure of comparing. After 
 briefly addressing various options for the research design (goals\, scopes
 \, scales\, and modes of comparison)\, it lays out a research process that
  expands a model suggested by Jonathan Z. Smith and includes six steps: se
 lection\, description\, comparison\, redescription\, rectification\, and t
 heory building. The paper briefly introduces each of these and discusses t
 he potential benefits of the method. Finally it argues that a developed co
 mparative method may once again become\, if understood as a second-order m
 ethod\, a distinctive disciplinary feature of the study of religion. Consi
 dering the discipline’s long experience with comparison—albeit often e
 mployed intuitively and also problematically—a comparative method that i
 s both based on critical reflexivity and practically applicable may even b
 e considered interesting by other disciplines\, and thus exportable.\nThis
  paper will be presented in panel The Work of Data: Methods in the Study o
 f Religions (24-105 | 132).

DESCRIPTION:Embedding Religions: Converting Figures and Conversion Stories
 \nChair: Carmen Meinert (CERES)\nThe  panel presents the ongoing work of t
 he interdisciplinary group  “Buddhism in Motion” on conversion narrati
 ves. Stories about the  conversion of communities are understood as analyt
 ical instruments to  investigate ways of ‘making sense’ of the introdu
 ction of a religion in a  specific region. The objective of the papers pre
 sented at this panel is  twofold: an investigation of the object-language 
 level and one of the  meta-language level. Firstly\, papers aim at charact
 erising 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  other
  and \nrepercussions of the conversion. \n\nAs narrated reconstructions of
  the past\, conversion stories are not merely an expression of the agenda 
 of a religious community but also of dynamics which go beyond the religiou
 s field. It is these underlying strings that the group seeks to unravel as
  a second step.\nWith: Stephen Eskildsen (former KHK fellow)\, Lisa Wevels
 iep (CERES)\, Robert Mayer (former KHK fellow) & Licia di Giaconti (KHK).\

 f  Sociology in cooperation with the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) 
  at  Ruhr-Universität Bochum\nProgramme of the Conference\nRegistration 
 form\nAccomodation & venue\nFrom the 1980s onwards\, sociological research
  has paid increased attention to Islam. Parallel\, a political and normati
 ve discourse about Islam and Muslim immigrants can be observed in many hos
 t countries that has been intensified by the events of 9/11 and that exten
 ds into the academic realm.\nThe reflection of sociological concepts and t
 heories will take centre stage of the conference. Outdated theories that h
 ave already been criticized many times\, shall be reviewed – whether the
 y are Eurocentric\, based on modernisation theory or on a homogenizing cul
 tural understanding\, as all of them lead to an asymmetric consideration.\
 nA reflected sociology of Islam also needs to reconstruct everyday life of
  Muslims from an empirical perspective\, while examining social practices\
 , institutions\, and knowledge systems. Following Weber’s concept of soc
 iology\, a particular approach could be to explore the conduct of life and
  the social forms of Muslim sociality.\nA global\, transnational and histo
 rical perspective is analytically indispensable\, simply due to migration 
 processes. However\, this leads to a series of challenges: On the one hand
 \, it is important to look at mutual and inner entanglements of knowledge\
 , culture and power instead of following the idea of self-contained and ho
 mogenous Western or Islamic civilisations. On the other hand\, a change of
  perspectives is intended: scientific observation should not any longer pr
 ioritise the focus on the effects of Islam for European societies. It shou
 ld rather deepen the analysis of Muslim’s particular lifeworlds as well 
 as the social arrangements of negotiation processes in their societies of 
 origin and the host societies (e.g. from a legal standpoint or with regard
 s to normative orders\, the public-private relation\, gender relations etc
 .).\nBryan Turner will held the key-note-speech and Georg Stauth the final
  reflections.\nMore information in the cfp

 Historical Network Research“ – a workshop for  semantical-social netwo
 rks – takes place at Ruhr University Bochum in  April 2015. The workshop
  series offers first insights into the  methodology as well as a platform 
 for exchanging the latest techniques  in network analysis to all intereste
 d researchers of all fields of  study. With this aim\, the workshop in Boc
 hum is going to deal with the  text mining method which enables an increas
 ed automation of creation of  networks. Additionally\, the question concer
 ning the dimension of texts  represented this way is taken into considerat
 ion. Here\, with  semantical-social networks you can deal with terminologi
 cal and  conceptual contexts on one hand\, and\, on the other hand\, with 
 the  relationships between entities.\nMore information

  a  significant role in its formation. In contrast\, the evolving Islam mu

 d  them to do so. A great dynamic of renovation and repositioning of  reli
 gious traditions can be expected in the first centuries of Islam.  Therefo
 re\, a more in-depth study of this vibrant dynamic of mutual  exchange bet
 ween Islamic and especially Iranian religious traditions is a  desideratum
  which our symposium intends to address.\nThis workshop will be held in En

DESCRIPTION:With global developments and the growing significance of relig
 ion in public debates\, academic interest in religions too has grown\, esp
 ecially in religious contacts. While there is a long tradition of studying
  specific interactions\, in particular among the so-called Abrahamic relig
 ions\, this orientation usually betrays a Western perspective. Recent scho
 larship has developed a more global perspective paying increasing attentio
 n to other religious contacts such as between Muslims and Buddhists. Along
 side research on the ground\, scholars are developing theoretical framewor
 ks for studying these contacts. How do we theorize religion? How can we as
 sess the significance of religious identity when members of different comm
 unities meet? What defines a contact between individuals\, communities\, t
 raditions\, as a contact of religions? What are the effects of contact for
  the development and expansion of religious traditions?\nflyer

 ifically on cosmological and polemical exchanges between different Christi
 an communities\, and between Jews\, Hindus\, and Muslims\, and as facilita
 ted by international trade\, crusading and missionizing aspirations.  For
  example\, Ethiopian  and Indian Christians drew from Western and Middle 
 Eastern anti-Jewish polemical texts\, and reshaped  them to suit their ow
 n needs in a new inter-religious environment\, which in the Indian case\, 
 included Hindus as well.  Jewish sources from the Cairo Geniza testify to
  the conversion of both Western and Eastern Christians (and possibly Hindu
 s)  to Judaism\, a situation that should be understood in the light of Je
 wish polemic against Christians in the region and to Jewish trade and sett
 lement in India.  Muslims\, Western Christians\, and Ethiopians alike use
 d tales of Ethiopian control of the Nile in an effort to manipulate one an
 other\, even as Ethiopians were importing European artisans and religious 
 iconography\, Byzantine polemic\, and  Armenian hagiographies dealing wit

DESCRIPTION:The goal of the workshop is to explore the dynamics of cultura
 l transmission and communication in Eastern Central Asia during the second
  half of the 1st millennium CE. This will be done following an interdiscip
 linary approach\, based on recent data acquired from archeological excavat
 ions and the analysis of visual and textual resources. “Central Asian ne
 tworks” here denotes\, both in their physical context (historical and ge
 ographical) and in a conceptual sense\, as connections established by mean
 s of religious ideas\, political alliances (often sanctioned through famil
 ial relations) and economic interests. A special focus of the workshop wil
 l be on the interdynamics of the macro and micro level of these networks a
 s exemplified by two major hubs\, Khotan and Dunhuang\, and the impact tha
 t their privileged channel of communication had in the exchanges across th
 e Tarim basin. \nflyer

 yattam\, a South Indian temple theater\, presents Classical Sanskrit drama
  since the tenth century. On the Koodiyattam stage\, the jester (vidūṣa
 ka) is the only character who speaks in Malayalam\, blending languages\, d
 ialects and registers\, mingling the divine with the mundane. We will watc
 h the jester swiftly altering the Sanskrit plot into performance in Malaya
 lam\, dismissing the ancient story of the captive king Udayana in favor of
  describing a stolen snack (ada) and elaborating on its excellence\, prepa
 ration\, auspicious reception and disappearance. By making the snack his f
 ocal point\, the jester subverts the boundaries between stage and audience
 \, tradition and innovation relentlessly turning the sublime into grotesqu

DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nTogether with the previous workshops on 'Signs' and '
 Scripture' the  present conference aims at scrutinizing the notion of 'tex
 ture' as a  guiding metaphor for the examination of religious phenomena. T
 extures  might be described as contextualizations of scriptural processes 
 that  allow communication between diverse levels of life\, connecting for 
  example the material with the mental and the cultural sphere and vice  ve
 rsa. One might also describe the interaction of religious traditions  as t
 extural contextualizations which allow\, form and execute contact  phenome
 na of transfer and translation.\nTextures are internal  formative principl
 es to be found within the material examined allowing  its interpretation t
 hus introducing a recursive formation which might be  described in scienti
 fic meta-language. As such they generate the  emergence of sense and trigg
 er sensible behavior. Textures thus comprise  manifest texts but cannot be
  reduced to them. One focus of the workshop  is the material side of textu
 re as to be found in the religious  context.

SUMMARY:Workshop | Cultural Influences and Borrowing in Contexts of Religi

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Programme leaflet\nMedieval and early modern population groups
  adhering to different  belief-systems interacted in seemingly self-contra
 dictory ways.  Hostility and warfare justified by references to religion\,
  as well as  influences and cultural borrowing characterized their coexist
 ence. This  workshop will bring together these two themes in order to inve
 stigate  more closely how groups could influence each other\, when these g
 roups  were envisaged in terms of religious hostility\, and how mechanisms
  of  cultural borrowing were able to function during periods of explicitly
   formulated religious warfare. It is easier to conceptualize religious  w
 ar on the one hand and cultural influences and borrowing on the other  as 
 two temporally or geographically distinct spheres of activity. Yet  when C
 hristians and Muslims were fighting wars that were defined on both  sides 
 as fighting for the true faith\, at the same time they exerted  influence 
 on and borrowed from each other. This is especially true of  areas where w
 arfare continued for very long periods\, between populations  that also li
 ved in close proximity to each other. How and why was such  borrowing poss
 ible between enemies? What were the channels of cultural  influence and bo
 rrowing? What new forms of interaction emerged as a  result? The papers wi
 ll focus on zones where interreligious warfare  continued for centuries: t
 he Iberian Peninsula\, crusader territories in  the East\, and areas of Ot
 toman expansion. Analyzing examples from the  terminology of polemics to a
 rchitecture\, from food to everyday objects\,  the workshop will explore t
 he seemingly self-contradictory stance of  openness to cultural influences
  from one's enemies.\nProgramme\n25 February 2014\n9:00       Kick-Off wit

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nOver the past few years\, it has become evident in th
 e studies of the  Avesta that some of its once sharply distinguished textu
 al and  text-sociological categories have to be regarded as more fluid one
 s.  Thus\, the legitimacy of the formerly postulated rigid split of the  A
 vestan texts into texts of the priests and texts of the laity is  question
 able to a certain extent. In a historical perspective\, the texts  of the 
 so-called Avesta of the laity (the Xorde Avesta) are in  themselves\, at l
 east in large parts\, the remains of priestly liturgies.  Therefore\, the 
 task that remains today is to describe of transmission of  the Avesta as a
  concrete textual history. This history is based on the  priests and the l
 aity and on the interplay of both groups\, but it also  depends on the rad
 ical political and religious changes in the first  millennium BC and AD.\n
 It is the purpose of this workshop to  examine the historical and systemat
 ic relation between the texts of the  priests and those of the laity in Zo
 roastrianism. Furthermore\, the  workshop should also give an impetus for 
 (more or less neglected)  sociological research of the Zoroastrian religio
 n. Last but not least\,  circumstances underlying the Zoroastrian textual 
 materials should be  compared with those of the other important religion i
 n (late) antique  Iran\, Manichaeism.

DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nIn the 16th century a change within the forming of re
 ligious language took place. Not only the Reformation was responsible for 
 that change\, but also developments that paved the way to it (e.g. Humanis
 m\, Hebraism). The changes within religious language thereby not only conc
 ern Protestantism\, but also Catholicism\, which was forced to redefine it
 s dogmatics.\nThe workshop analyses different models of that kind of formi
 ng of language in concrete contact situations. We intend to apply the more
 general results of our former workshops on 'Religious Language' (May 2012\
 , June 2013).

DESCRIPTION:This paper explores religious breakthroughs and the challenges
  they must meet if they are to endure.  I explore the origins of Buddhism\
 , Christianity\, Islam\, the Protestant Reformation\, and the French Revol
 ution\, and discuss four such challenges:\n1) While there may be no strong
  desire to police boundaries or exclude outsiders\, there must be some dis
 tinction between who is "in" and who is "out" of the movement that comes i
 nto being on the basis of the founders' original ideas.  There thus arise 
 ways to distinguish among adherents and non-adherents.  The ways in which 
 this binary is constructed has far-reaching consequences for the character
  of the religion that is emerging.\n2) If the message is to endure\, the p
 urveyors of the original teachings must consolidate and standardize them i
 n some fashion.  The message must be stabilized at least to some degree su
 ch that it has sufficient coherence to be received and absorbed by new ini
 tiates.  Yet the stabilization of the main message need not preclude varia
 nt readings of the canon – which typically come to predominate in differ
 ent regions as a result of routine historical processes.\n3) Then there is
  the matter of the messengers – who will carry on the message?  The main
  question to be addressed here is that of who will enjoy the authority of 
 the initiator(s) of the breakthrough.  There is always\, in other words\, 
 a problem of succession.  The way in which that problem is resolved may ha
 ve quite profound consequences for the nature of the message and for the l
 ong-term consequences of the breakthrough.\n4) Next is the question of the
  relationship between "virtuosi" and laity.  The former are understood to 
 have privileged access to the sacred lore\, whereas the latter may be rega
 rded by the virtuosi as religiously disqualified  -- adherents\, perhaps\,
  but "second-class citizens" of the faith.  Variations in the relations be
 tween virtuosi and laypeople have profound ramifications for the character
  of a religion.

 ls in Deutschland ist die zunehmende religiöse Pluralisierung der Bevölk

 nteil der Bevölkerung\, der einer der beiden großen christlichen Kirchen
  angehört\, deutlich gesunken. Zugleich sind im Rahmen der Anwerbeabkomme
 n in den 50er- und 60er-Jahren in wachsendem Maße Angehörige anderer Rel
 igionsgemeinschaften nach Deutschland zugewandert.\nDiese Entwicklungen bl
 eiben nicht ohne Folgen für die christlichen Institutionen und Organisati
 onen. Insbesondere die beiden kirchenlichenWohlfahrtsverbände - Deutscher
  Caritasverband und Diakonisches Werk\, müssen neue Wege im Umgang mit di
 esen Wandlungsprozessen finden. Aber auch säkulare Anbieter wie bspw. die
  Arbeiterwohlfahrt werden mit der religiösen Pluralisierung in Form von z
 unehmend heterogenen Anforderungen bzw. Erwartungen der Klienten in Bezug 
 auf religiöse Rituale und Praktiken konfrontiert. Es stellt sich die Frag
 e\, wie die Anbieter sozialer Dienste mit der wachsenden Pluralisierung in
  ihrem Selbstverständnis sowie ihrer Organisationsentwicklung umgehen.\nI
 m Rahmen der Tagung soll die skizzierte Thematik interdisziplinär analysi
 ert werden. Sie stellt eine Auftaktveranstaltungdar\, der weitere Forschun

DESCRIPTION:Fellow-Presentation\, Pierre-Emmanuell Roux:The Proscription o
 f Catholicism in Late Imperial China: Local Realities and Regional Perspec
 tives (1724-1860)\nThe proscription of Catholicism in Qing China has long 
 been considered as the result of the well-known rites controversy – a sy
 mbol of the supposed incompatibility between Confucian and Christian value
 s – and held responsible for the failure of Catholic missions on the Chi
 nese soil. A detailed analysis of Chinese and Western sources however demo
 nstrates that the proscription policy launched in 1724 was doomed to failu
 re\, due to partial and ineffective measures. Within a few decades Europea
 n missionaries were reduced to secondary targets while Chinese converts an
 d\, soon\, sectarians supposedly converted to Christianity were establishi
 ng themselves as the principal targets of the government in the early nine
 teenth century. This presentation is thus intended to rethink the idea tha
 t Catholicism may have been considered by the Chinese authorities just as 
 an imported religion spread by Western missionaries. In doing so\, I will 
 also insist on the Japanese and Korean influences on the Chinese anti-Chri
 stian measures.

DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nWith this workshop\, second in the KHK’s series on 
 ‘Texture’\, we intend to scrutinize the concept of scripture with rega
 rd to its material and metaphorical topicality in religious studies. The p
 roject in general intends to overcome the shortcomings of current approach
 es trying to illuminate the phenomenon of ‘text’. Script or scripture 
 as a religious phenomenon has to be regarded in a twofold manner. On the o
 ne hand scripture consists of materialized signs\, on the other hand it ob
 jectifies the act of writing. In both capacities scripture plays an import
 ant part in religious praxis.\nThe concept of scripture is underestimated 
 if it is considered to be a mere medium of storing information. Holy scrip
 tures do not only transport information but claim a religious dignity in t
 hemselves and display a religious activity of their own in determining a t
 exture of human behavior. So the concept of scripture with regard to relig
 ion also contains processes of description (cosmologies)\, of prescription
  (command-ments)\, of transcription (transformation/conversion processes) 
 and of inscription (for example to carve something into something – not 
 at last in the human body thus providing a good example of scriptural embo
 diment). As such\, scripture denotes a fundamental human praxis which comb
 ines the cognitive and the material sphere.

DESCRIPTION:Poster\nThe Scripture on Great Peace (Taiping jing 太平經) 
 goes back to the second century C.E. and has been transmitted in the Daois
 t canon of texts. The Scripture documents ideas on social and cultural cha
 nge that were propagated in popular regional movements and local communiti
 es at a time when the centralised Han dynasty state began to fall apart. T
 he authors of the text saw the widespread practice of infanticide as a maj
 or obstacle for the arrival of the era of “great peace” that they pred
 icted. Therefore\, arguments against the practice provide a good introduct
 ion to the world view and argumentative methods of the authors of the Scri
 pture. The authors start with strong religious convictions on the value of
  life and the need to obey the laws of heaven. However\, their approach is
  integrative and pragmatic. While they propose that for religious and mora
 l reasons parents must be prepared to raise all children\, they acknowledg
 e that parents cannot be expected to do so unless they derive some practic
 al benefit from raising their daughters. The talk will outline this argume
 nt in some detail. It will be concluded that despite their novelty the aut
 hors’ suggestions were well geared to late Han dynasty social and econom
 ic reality and were in part accepted into the ritual of early Daoist congr
 egations.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nWithin three years of achieving independence in 1947\, 
 India had adopted a secular democratic constitution subtly based on State 
 supported caste and religious accommodations. India owes its continued sur
 vival as a multi-religious\, multi-caste State to an interpretation of sec
 ularism based on such accommodations. The accommodations that made India
 ’s version of secularism work far are now seriously challenged by alteri
 ng caste and religious equations as well as assertive regionalism none of 
 which was anticipated sixty-six years back when India became free. How Ind
 ia copes with these challenges will determine if India stays secular while
  holding itself together.\nDr.Uday Balakrishnan’s talk expands on the ab
 ove\, drawing on his work-in-progress on India’s first three years of in
 dependence.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nFor much of its course India’s freedom struggle spear
 headed by Gandhi and Nehru had only the conditional support of the Muslim 
 community. The community had several insecurities centered on its social a
 nd economic backwardness\, historical internal differences\, as well as th
 e prospect of being rendered powerless in a Hindu dominated independent In
 dia. While Gandhi and Nehru\, both strongly secular\, realized that India 
 would not have an easy freedom without Muslim support\, neither was sensit
 ive to the community to calibrate responses that would have effectively ad
 dressed its several concerns.\nNotwithstanding his strong pro Muslim leani
 ngs\, Gandhi was always an easy target for his seemingly Hindu ways\, whil
 e many Muslims viewed Nehru’s adherence to democratic secularism as an e
 ffort to ensure Hindu domination of the sub continent. Jinnah successfully
  exploited his community’s fears while managing to quell its several int
 ernal differences\, leading to the creation of Pakistan.\nDr.Uday Balakris
 hnan’s talk dwells on India’s failure to emerge into freedom as a sing
 le country\, and its accommodation of Muslims in post independence India w
 ithin the ambit of a secular democratic state.\nWhile engaging with a powe
 rful force like Islam India’s experience in religious accommodations\, D
 r. Balakrishnan argues\, hold important lessons for the rest of the world\
 , especially the West.

DESCRIPTION:Programme leaflet\nStudying or noting the fact that stories ab
 out saints or holy objects traveled from one region or religious community
  to another\, for example how the Jataka tales\, the Pantachantra\, Balaam
  and Josephat\, or the Prince and the Sage traveled from India through Cen
 tral Asia or into parts of Africa\, the Middle East and finally even to No
 rthern Europe\, is fascinating for it includes not only transfer of motifs
 \, but resistance\, demarcation\, adoption\, transformation\, even expansi
 on. Alone\, however\, such explorations tell us little about inter- or int
 ra-religious relations.\nIn this workshop we  propose to focus on hagiogr
 aphical accounts of encounter with the religious other that traveled from 
 one cultural/geographical area to another\, and how these narratives chang
 ed as the result of cultural\, religious\, geographic\, or chronological d
 isplacement. Specifically stories about saints and the religious other\, p
 rovide important indications about cultures dealt with religious minoritie
 s\, and how religious minorities imagined their relationships with the rel
 igious communities around them. Such narratives also indicate\, perhaps\, 
 what forces cause tension and persecution - why are some stories in certai
 n cultures relatively more “friendly” toward the religious other than 
 others\, and very condemnatory in other cultures though the story at its c
 ore is the same? How and why are certain hagiographies of encounter taken 
 over by more than one religious community and either used as a form of res
 istance or simply co-opted and claimed by the new group?\nThose who are in
 terested in participating in the workshop\, please submit a title and an a
 bstract to either Alexandra Cuffel (alexandra.cuffel@rub.de) or Nikolas Ja
 spert (nikolas.jaspert@rub.de) by 15 August 2013.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nMaterial remains are usually not dealt with by the abun
 dant literature on the construction of Hinduism pondering on the respectiv
 e roles of Europeans and Brahmins. Yet\, they have played an important rol
 e in the delineation of Indian religions. Europeans have used monuments an
 d statues as sources in order to understand and study Indian religious pra
 ctices and concepts and to outline India’s religious history\, notably f
 or examining the respective antiquity of and relationships between Brahman
 ism\, Jainism and Buddhism.\nIn order to be used as sources\, these materi
 al remains had to be deciphered. This raises the problem of concepts and m
 ethods through which they were described and analysed. This presentation a
 ims at highlighting the existence of a religious bias in the reading of ar
 chitecture and iconography on the one hand and at examining the impact of 
 such bias on the study of Indian religions on the other.\nThis bias is its
 elf twofold. Firstly\, it pertains to the influence of Christian concepts 
 and ideas on the interpretation of remains belonging to what came to be ca
 lled the religion of the Gentiles\, idolatry or the religion of the Hindus
 . Secondly\, it relates to the influence of Brahmanical concepts through t
 he resort to Brahmin informants\, who tended to absorb Jain and Buddhist r
 emains within the realm of Brahmanism.

 a militant Roman Catholicism\, which sought to convert indigenous peoples 
 to the Latin Church.  What the Iberians discovered in the Americas\, Afric
 a and Asia were multiple\, complex polities with their own religious tradi
 tions\, which strongly resisted conversion.  This conference will examine 
 Ibero-Indigenous religious contact through the lens of indigenous peoples'
  responses to Spanish and Portuguese religious imperialism.  Taking exampl

DESCRIPTION:Folder\nThe main subject of the workshop is the ‘dynamic obj
 ect’ as developed in the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce and its po
 ssible application to the consortium’s studies on the ‘Dynamics in the
  History of Religions’. The workshop is based on and further develops re
 search results of the Focus Group ‘Dynamics and Stability’.\nRoughly s
 peaking\, in order to develop a suitable notion of dynamics respectively s
 tability for Religious Studies\, the workshop intends to link sociological
  system theory with its idea of the chain of production\, generating self-
 referential meaning via the production from products and thus performing w
 hat Luhmann calls a ‘dynamic stability’ to concepts that have been sub
 ject of previous discussions in the Focus Group ‘Dynamics and Stability
 ’ and the Focus Group ‘Attraction’. By doing so\, we might come to a
  fusion of Peircean semiotics and system theory with regard to a descripti
 ve language of religious phenomena. One might argue that the religious att
 ractor (as a main subject of the Focus Group ‘Attraction’) is a (what 
 Peirce calls) dynamic object generating a chain of signs (of immediate obj
 ects)\, that – while reaching for a full understanding of the object tho
 ugh never reaching ‘it’ – describes the process of attraction. The c
 oncept of secret is the best illustration for this process. This dynamic o
 bject might be fictional (it was introduced to grasp literary fictions lik
 e Hamlet)\, but it ‘acts’ by generating interpretation.  This is the 
 stability of the chain of interpretation – not the object nor the interp
 retations are stable\, but their interrelation\, the chain as such\, which
  relates one interpretational product to one another. It integrates the re
 flexive moment Luhmann points at into a form of stability that bases and r
 eacts on the instability of the flux of time.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Workshop folder\nStudies on devotion and religious life in the
  Islamic world have traditionally been based on the oposition between scho
 lars ('ulama') and Sufis\, or mystics\, especially at historical moments w
 hen these latter were able to monopolize the religious popular sphere\, wr
 esting it from the hands of scholars whose primary concerns were the estab
 lishment of orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Indeed\, Islamic juridical texts cl
 early show how the ulama' tried to forbid certain sufi practices because t
 hey were divergent from the norms they themselves sanctioned as "orthodox 
 devotion." The study of this opposition has been very fruitful for interna
 tional discussions on law and Sufism and on ascetism and its control by ru
 lers in Islamic societies. The operation of all of these various entities\
 , however\, in the history of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (1232-1492)\, 
 in the Iberian Peninsula\, has yet to awaken the serious interest of schol
 arship: Granada is always marginal to these discussions\, whether they inv
 olve the Maghreb or the larger Islamic world. Recent studies have shown th
 at\, during the 12th and 13th centuries\, the Almohads promoted a true rev
 olution in terms of religious life in Western Islam\, but the influence th
 at this revolution might have had on later periods is still unknown. It se
 ems that there was a new upturn of sufism in Nasrid Granada and a strong r
 enewal of the Maliki school of law. Placing these phenomena in a wider\, M
 editerranean context\, may help scholars to understand whether they were p
 roduced as a reaction against the Almohad movement or\, on the contrary\, 
 as the result of an organic and gradual evolution based on their doctrines
 .\nWe are interested not only in the essential facts of religious behaviou
 r\, but also\, and more specifically\, in how political and dynastic power
 s\, scholars and Sufis endeavoured to contruct an ideal of religiosity and
  devotion through images\, both poetic and otherwise. Therefore\, in addit
 ion to legal and doctrinal treatises\, works on asceticism and prayer manu
 als\, we will study the representation of religion in artistic works and a
 rchitecture. In fact\, we believe that both types of evidence will help in
  achieving a better understanding of the religious phenomenon in Medieval 
 Islam. Even if artistic representations in religious contexts in Islam do 
 not habitually produce icons and images of living beings\, we contend that
  concepts such as purity\, closeness to God\, heaven\, destiny\, love\, et
 c.\, are produced and represented both in texts and artifacts.

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 
 the dynamics  in the history of religions.\nSigns\, scriptures and texts p
 rovide  both the material for Religious Studies as well as guiding metapho
 rs  which are used to describe general religious contexts. Therefore\, the
   theme ‚signs\, scriptures and texts‘ is not restricted to the so-cal
 led  Religions of the Book. For analytical reasons we differentiate betwee
 n  three major elements that are in fact always closely connected in  real
 ity. Signs\, scriptures and texts differ with regard to the degree of  com
 plexity respectively communicativity\, scripture providing a texture  of s
 igns\, texts providing a texture of scripts. The texture used as a  guidin
 g metaphor as well indicates the contact dimension within  religions tradi
 tions.\nA sign may be described analytically as the  basic element (‚the
  letter‘) of a texture comprising linguistic and  non-linguistic signs. 
 It does not only include the symbol or the  indication of something but al
 so the praxis of indicating and assigning.  Therefore\, a sign cannot be u
 nderstood as a representation or a mere  carrier of information only\, but
  has to be interpretated with regard to  possible action: as a texture of 
 information and praxis. In the workshop  we take our pragmatic point of de
 parture from a significant sign\, i.e.  the character (Schriftzeichen).\nT
 he main emphasis of the workshop  lies on the common work on the concrete 
 material which aims at the  elaboration of a theoretical framework that mi
 ght be used in the  forecoming workshops on scripture and texts. There wil
 l be two inputs by  Beate Hofmann (Bochum) on Egyptian hieroglyphs and Knu
 t Martin Stünkel  (Bochum) on the phenomenology of signs.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Tagungshomepage\nDas Doppel-Panel "Netzwerkansätze in der Rel
 igionswissenschaft" auf der DVRW-Tagung 2013 ist als Versuch gestartet\, d
 ie Anwendung eines aktuellen Methodenansatzes aus verschiedenen Perspektiv
 en zu diskutieren. Der im Paneltitel verwendete Begriff der „Netzwerkans
 ätze" zeigt\, im Gegensatz zum spezifischeren "Netzwerkanalyse"\, bereits
  an\, dass nicht die Anwendung einer konkreten Analysemethode im Fokus des
  Panels stand. In Hinblick auf das Tagungsthema „Theorie und Empirie" so
 llten vielmehr unterschiedliche Ansätze der Netzwerkforschung diskutiert 
 werden\, die im Spannungsfeld zwischen theoretischen Perspektiven (wie etw
 a die Verflechtungsgeschichte) und konkreten Methoden (wie die quantitativ
 e Netzwerkanalyse) stehen.\nDer erste Teil des Panels war etwas enger gefa
 sst und stellte die derzeit am Bochumer Centrum für Religionswissenschaft
 liche Studien durchgeführte Netzwerkforschung vor. Alexander Nagel ging i
 n seinem Vortrag "Gesamtnetzwerke inhaltsanalytisch erheben" von der sozio
 logischen Analyse sozialer Netzwerke aus. Im Gegensatz zu qualitativen ode
 r metaphorischen Netzwerkansätzen bezog sich Nagel dabei auf die quantita
 tive Netzwerkanalyse im engeren Sinne\, deren mathematische Grundlagen nur
  auf Gesamtnetzwerke (im Gegensatz zu Ego-Netzwerken und anderen unvollst
 ändigen Netzwerkformen) anwendbar sind. Daher befasst sich Nagel mit der 
 Frage der Netzwerkabgrenzung zwischen nominalistischen und realistischen Z
 ugängen\, die in der Diskussion aufgegriffen und in Hinblick auf die Kons
 truktion religionswissenschaftlicher Gegenstände kritisch diskutiert wurd
 en. Nagel stelle darauf aufbauend Ansätze vor\, die sich mit der Erhebung
  von Netzwerken auf der Grundlage von Dokumentenanalysen beschäftigen.\nD
 okumentenanalyse stellte ebenso den Ausgangspunkt des Vortrags von Frederi
 k Elwert zur "Netzwerkanalyse religionshistorischer Quellentexte" dar. Am 
 Beispiel des Bochumer SeNeReKo-Projekts zeigte Elwert drei Ansätze auf\, 
 den von Nagel vorgestellten Zugang zu erweitern: Durch die Anwendung auf h
 istorisches im Gegensatz zu zeitgenössischem Material\, durch die Erweite
 rung auf semantische Elemente (Konzepte\, Begriffe) und durch die automati
 sierte anstatt manueller Erkennung von Netzwerkstrukturen. Methodische Üb
 erlegungen verband Elwert dabei mit möglichen Verbindungen zu theoretisch
 en Ansätzen einer relationalen Religionsgeschichte. Netzwerkanalysen\, so
  die These\, können eine mögliche Operationalisierung des theoretischen 
 Konzepts des Relationalismus darstellen und somit Theoriebildung und Metho
 dendiskussion in der Religionswissenschaft fruchtbar verbinden.\nEbenfalls
  im SeNeReKo-Projekt angesiedelt war der Vortrag von Sven Wortmann\, der s
 ich mit den praktischen\, philologischen Vorarbeiten beschäftigte\, die e
 rst die Grundlage für eine automatisierte Textanalyse darstellen. Am Beis
 piel einfacher Häufigkeitsanalysen argumentierte Wortmann für die Frucht
 barkeit quantitativer Textanalysen. Gegenüber den Vorstellungen\, die Phi
 lologen aus ihrer Detailkenntnis einzelner Textgruppen entwickeln\, könne
 n Ergebnisse quantitativer Verfahren überraschende Einsichten gewähren\,
  die neue Impulse für die Beschäftigung mit religionshistorischem Textma
 terial geben können.\nDer zweite Teil des Panels öffnete das Methodenspe
 ktrum in Hinblick auf qualitative Netzwerkanalyse sowie stärker theoretis
 ch ausgerichtete Perspektiven auf Netzwerke. Vanessa Meier und Martin Acke
 rmann präsentierten methodologische Überlegungen und erste empirische Er
 gebnisse aus dem Berner Forschungsprojekt "Globale Gurus". Ausgehend von F
 eldforschungen in Indien und der Schweiz diskutierte Meier unterschiedlich
 e methodische Ansätze und votierte für qualitative Methoden der Netzwerk
 analyse und insbesondere ego-zentrierte Verfahren. Für die Erforschung vo
 n Devotee-Netzwerken stellte Meier insbesondere auf Überlegungen zu Multi
 plexität und Parallelnetzwerken ab: Die theoretischen Probleme der Gewinn
 ung neuer Devotees einerseits und der Verstetigung der Anhängerschaft and
 ererseits ließen sich in netzwerkanalytische Fragen von Parallelnetzwerke
 n (Überlappung sozialer Kreise) und Multiplexität (Überschneidung unter
 schiedlicher Beziehungsdimensionen) übersetzen. Ackermann diskutierte dan
 n die Frage\, in wie weit der Guru selbst als Teil des Netzwerkes angesehe
 n werden könne und folglich auch in analytischer Hinsicht das Zentrum ein
 es globalen Netzwerkes darstelle. Nach Diskussion unterschiedlicher Kriter
 ien für die Netzwerkzugehörigkeit argumentierte er für die Einbeziehung
  der Gurus in das Devotee-Netzwerk. Dies könne\, ausgehend von den Beschr
 eibungen der Devotees\, selbst nach dem Tod der Gurus gelten. Die methodis
 chen Implikationen dieser Entscheidung wurden in der anschließenden Disku
 ssion noch einmal aufgegriffen. Gerade die Idee\, auch im sozialwissenscha
 ftlichen Sinne nicht-lebende Akteure in religionswissenschaftlicher Perspe
 ktive einzubeziehen fand dabei durchaus positiven Anklang.\nIn seinem Vort
 rag "Die Publizistik asiatischer indigen-christlicher Eliten und der Aufba
 u transkontinentaler Netzwerke zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts: Das Beispie
 l der Iglesia Filipina Independiente" erweiterte Adrian Hermann die Perspe
 ktive erneut. Ausgehend von einem verflechtungsgeschichtlichen Ansatz zeig
 te er\, wie eine Netzwerkperspektive auch in vornehmlich theoretischer Per
 spektive fruchtbar gemacht werden kann\, um Forschung mit klassischen hist
 orischen Methoden durchzuführen. Die Geschichte der Inglesia Filipina Ind
 ependiente zeige\, wie der Verlust (oder die Ablehnung) alter Bindungen 
 – nämlich an die Katholische Mutterkirche – zum Aufbau neuer Bindunge
 n führt. Gerade der Austausch unabhängiger Kirchen aus verschiedenen Lä
 ndern Süd- und Südostasiens diente als eindrucksvolles Beispiel\, wie di
 e postkoloniale Geschichtsschreibung bei Berücksichtigung einer Netzwerkp
 erspektive globale Verflechtungen in den Blick nehmen kann.\nZeitgenössis
 che Globalisierungsphänomene nahm Anne Koch in ihrem Vortrag "Stretching 
 for donations: Netzwerkanalyse des neoliberalen globalen Yoga" in den Blic
 k. Am Beispiel der Globalisierung des Yoga zeigte Koch\, wie sich die Konn
 otationen der Yogapraxis im Zuge globaler Prozesse verschieben können. Di
 e Kollektivierung und Eventisierung des Yoga könne dabei als neues Elemen
 t angesehen werden\, das früheren (und nach wie vor parallel bestehenden)
  Assiziationen wie Einkehr und Stille entgegensteht. Mit einem qualitative
 n Instrumentarium zeigte Kochs Anwendung einer Netzwerkperspektive\, wie V
 erschiebungen in Semantik und Praxis in den Blick genommen werden können.
  Damit knüpfte der Vortrag trotz der unterschiedlichen Herangehensweise a
 n die Überlegungen zur semantisch-sozialen Netzwerkanalyse von Elwert an.
 \nDas Panel zeigte die große Bandbreite von Netzwerkansätzen in der Reli
 gionswissenschaft. Trotz der augenfälligen Unterschiede in der Methodik\,
  insbesondere zwischen quantitativer Gesamtnetzwerkanalyse\, qualitativer 
 und Egonetzwerkanalyse und verflechtungsgeschichtlichen Analysen konnten 
 ähnliche Perspektiven identifiziert werden. Damit zeigte das Panel im Hin
 blick auf das Tagungsthema eine größere Konsistenz in theoretischer Hins
 icht: Eine relationale Religionsforschung\, auch wenn sie mit unterschiedl
 ichen Methoden durchgeführt werden kann\, zeigte sich als vielversprechen
 der und weiter zu diskutierender Ansatz.

 .\n\nWer „Mittelmeerraum“ sagt\, konnotiert notwendig Fernand Braudel 
 und legt die Analogisierungsfähigkeit bis -notwendigkeit seines Grundkon
 zepts für die antike Welt nahe. Zusätzlich ist beim „Pluriversen Unive
 rsum Mittelmeer“ von einer longue durée auszugehen\, weshalb zunächst 
 die bleibende Bedeutung der vorantiken „Hochkulturen“ für unseren Ges
 amtraum zu plausibilisieren ist. Zu akzentuieren ist\, auf die „hellenis
 tischen“ Jahrhunderte gesehen\, dass Orientalen und Ägypter die griechi
 sche Welt genau so veränderten wie diese sie: eine Aufgabe\, die nur ange
 gangen werden kann\, wenn zuvor die Spezifik des „klassischen“ Grieche
 nland profiliert und Athens bleibende Bedeutung herausgearbeitet worden is
 t.\nDie analoge Aufgabe besteht für Jerusalem. Schon was das hellenistisc
 he\, erst recht aber römisch-imperiale Zeitalter angeht\, ist sein Stelle
 nwert so groß wie spezifisch. „Jerusalems“ Eigenwert ist zu profilier
 en\, jedoch nicht zu isolieren. Schon aufgrund des Hellenismus beginnen si
 ch griechisch-jüdisch-römische Austauschprozesse zu entwickeln: wird ni
 cht zufällig Alexandria zu einer auch jüdischen Stadt\, die zugleich ihr
  Diaspora-Judentum hellenisiert – mit überregionaler Auswirkung.\nUnbes
 chadet dessen steht außer Frage\, dass noch ein multikulturelles Hybrid 
 wie Paulus – nicht nur die Zeloten à la lettre – in einer antirömisc
 hen Abwehr- und Angriffsfront stand. Konflikte geradezu tödlicher Art inn
 erhalb der hellenistischen koiné/des Imperium Romanum können nicht geleu
 gnet werden\, wenn dies innerhalb einer helleno- und romanozentrischen Ges
 chichtssicht auch nicht unüblich gewesen ist. Das Projekt „Pluriverses
  Universum“ versteht sich dezidiert polyzentrisch\, obgleich innerhalb
  eines Kulturraumes – für den der Erinnerungsort Alexandria überrepr
 äsentativ gewesen sein dürfte.\nBis heute bestehende Frontstellungen kei
 nen Augenblick verdrängend\, soll der oft nur verrufene „Alexandrinism
 us“ bewusst stark gemacht werden – er selbst war alles andere als span
 nungsfrei\, gar irenisch. Eine Gestalt wie der zeitweise im auch antisemit
 ischen Alexandria lebende und ungemein vielgesichtige Flavius Josephus\, d
 ie zugleich eine sehr kaiserzeitliche war\, kann das besonders gut verdeut
 lichen.

DESCRIPTION:flyer\nWith global developments and the growing significance o
 f religion in public debates\, academic interest in religions too has gro
 wn\, especially in religious contacts. While there is a long tradition of 
 studying specific interactions\, in particular among the so-called Abraha
 mic religions\, this orientation usually betrays a Western perspective. R
 ecent scholarship has developed a more global perspective paying increasi
 ng attention to other religious contacts such as between Muslims and Buddh
 ists. Alongside research on the ground\, scholars are developing theoreti
 cal frameworks for studying these contacts. How do we theorize religion? 
 How can we assess the significance of religious identity when members of 
 different communities meet? What defines a contact between individuals\, c
 ommunities\, traditions\, as a contact of religions? What are the effects
  of contact for the development and expansion of religious traditions?\nC

DESCRIPTION:Folder\nDie „Erscheinung“ der Gottheit\, ihre visuelle und
  auditive Manifestation in der menschlichen Sphäre\, gehört in vielen Ku
 lturräumen zum Kernbereich religiöser Tradition und Ritualpraxis. Aufsch
 lussreich ist die ambivalente Dynamik ihrer individuellen und kollektiven 
 Wahrnehmung\, die sich in Faszination\, Flucht\, Umkehr\, Bekehrung\, Unte
 rwerfung\, Hingabe\, (Selbst-) Zerstörung kristallisiert und dabei Kultor
 te - häufig in Konkurrenz zu anderen Gottheiten - markiert und legitimier
 t. Die unterschiedlichen Formen der göttlichen Selbstinszenierung\, die s
 pezifischen ritualästhetischen Momente\, welche die Erscheinung begleiten
  und vermitteln\, womöglich sogar hervorrufen\, sowie die spezifischen so
 zialen und politischen Funktionen der Epiphanien profilieren zugleich die 
 kult- und religionsspezifischen Differenzen.\nDie Veranstaltung will anhan
 d von konkreten Fallbeispielen die medialen Techniken vergleichen\, welche
  die unterschiedlichen Epiphanien bedingen\, ihre jeweilige Bedeutung komm
 unizieren\, somit das Rezeptionsverhalten bestimmen und in diesem Kontext 
 religiöse Erscheinungsräume definieren. Besonderes Interesse gilt den vo

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nStarting from the hypothesis that the religious and cul
 tural encounters facilitated by Christian missions had a profound impact o
 n both sides in the interaction\, this conference asks how epistemic chang
 es were inaugurated by missionary activities in Asia\, both in the mission
  field and on home ground. „Christianity Translated“ therefore is unde
 rstood in a double sense: On the one hand\, we look at how Christianity is
  translated in both literal and metaphorical sense into the linguistic and
  cultural idioms of the receptor societies. On the other hand\, since prol
 onged engagement with Asian languages\, religions and cultures affected th
 e missionary epistemic frames\, we will also address the way in which the 
 concept of religion\, and therefore of Christianity as well\, underwent mo
 dification. In a word\, the object of translation was transformed but so w
 as the mind and the purpose of the translators.\nAmong the four dimensions
  that we take to be constitutive of religion\, namely cognition\, percepti
 on\, actions/behaviour\, and materiality\, we will focus in particular on 
 the cognitive and the material dimensions (without\, of course\, categoric
 ally excluding the others). The two axes of cognition/knowledge/science an
 d objects/materiality are therefore at the centre of our current inquiry r
 egarding the transformative powers of the missionary enterprise.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nRecently researchers in religious studies have been inc
 reasingly critical of earlier generations of scholars’ tendency to study
  only those religions that had a strong textual tradition\, and then to tr
 eat these “textual” religions as monolithic in nature. Spiritual pract
 ices and beliefs that fell outside such textually defined creeds and ritua
 ls\, or which were related to these traditions but differed considerably f
 rom expected practices as set forth by “accepted” texts have often bee
 n dubbed as “deviant”\, “popular\,” “heretical”\, or “magica
 l”\, sometimes by practitioners’ contemporaries and sometimes by schol
 ars of religion themselves.\nThis workshop seeks to focus specifically on 
 religious customs or beliefs that are or were outside conventional definit
 ions of “religion.” Specifically\, participants will explore the pract
 ices of co-opting\, transfer\, resistance\, or transformation within these
  various forms of “religions outside religions” and\, where relevant\,
  the reactions to them.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThe Iberian Peninsula of the Middle Ages is quite often
  described as an ideal place of religious encounters. Terms like "golden c
 entury" are sometimes employed to describe that time. Although description
 s like that are in more than one respect difficult they point to an import
 ant aspect. Time and place in focus made it possible that members of three
  major religions – Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews – met and exchanged
  knowledge and religious ideas. Translations of Arabic-written scientific 
 and religious works into Hebrew or Latin were numerous\, but also translat
 ions of Latin works into Hebrew or even into Arabic took place. These tran
 slations as well as personal encounters enabled religious thinkers to thei
 r own religious beliefs and to develop new religious insights.\nThus\, the
  Iberian Peninsula forms the ideal place to show how the contact between m
 embers of the three monotheistic religions had an impact on their respecti
 ve religious language.\nWith papers presented by:\n\nAnna Akasoy (New York

DESCRIPTION:"Sie studieren Religionswissenschaft! Und was wollen Sie spät
 er damit  machen?" Diese Frage wird wohl jede/r Studierende der Religionsw
 issenschaft  schon einmal gehört haben. Eindeutige Antworten darauf sind 
 schwierig zu  finden\, zu weit gefächert sind verschiedene mögliche Beru
 fsfelder. Die  Vortragsreihe "Berufsperspektiven für Religionswissenschaf
 tler" möchte  deshalb mittels Vorträgen von Personen aus der Praxis Unte
 rstützung bei der  Suche nach möglichen Berufsperspektiven bieten. Die V
 orträge beleuchten  verschiedene mögliche Tätigkeitsfelder für Religio
 nswissenschaftler und  geben Einblicke in die Fragen\, welche Kenntnisse i
 n diesem  Tätigkeitsbereich gefragt sind und wie sich schon während des 
 Studiums  entsprechende Qualifikationen erwerben lassen.  Am 24. April wer
 den von 18-20h im FNO 02/40-46 zwei  Religionswissenschaftler über spanne
 nde berufliche Tätigkeitsfelder berichten.  Jörn Janssen hat selbst in B
 ochum Religionswissenschaft studiert und  arbeitet heute erfolgreich für 
 die Auslandsgesellschaft NRW im Bereich  Studienseminare und International
 er Austausch.  Sarah Jahn wird über die Tätigkeiten des Religionswissens
 chaftlichen  Medien- und Informationsdienstes (REMID) informieren. In Publ
 ikationen\,  Vorträgen und Workshops möchte REMID Perspektiven der Relig
 ionswissenschaft  in der Öffentlichkeit vermitteln. Beide Organisationen 
 möchten mit ihrer  Arbeit dazu beitragen Antworten auf die Herausforderun
 gen einer sich stetig  verändernden Gesellschaft zu finden.  Eingeladen s
 ind alle Studierenden der Religionswissenschaft\, die sich über  beruflic
 he Perspektiven informieren und austauschen möchten. Die  Veranstaltung i
 st im 1-Fach Master in Kombination mit einem weiteren  Workshop im Juni al
 s PR-Modul anrechenbar.  Bei Nachfragen wenden Sie sich an Michael Waltema

SUMMARY:Empires of Faith: South Asia as Field of Global Religious Interact

DESCRIPTION:flyer\nFrom the global perspective\, South Asia is seen as a s
 ource of Buddhism and\, at a slightly later date\, of Hinduism. Of Jainism
  little is known outside specialist circles despite its considerable influ
 ence on India proper. The approach to all these religions has been essenti
 alist and inward looking: defined a priori as unchanging\, South Asia matt
 ers historically only to the degree that religions have come from there or
 \, inversely\, that Christianity and Islam have managed to take root there
 . Interactions between traditions\, fundamental to the development of dist
 inct identities\, are a subject being in its infancy\, most especially bet
 ween the first century BCE and the eleventh century CE.Although Hinduism\,
  Buddhism and Jainism are certainly distinct\, they developed in synchrony
  and shared doctrinal features such as the doctrine of karma. The coeval c
 odification of canonical literature and the simultaneous emergence of temp
 les\, endowments and image worship across traditions in the fourth and fif
 th centuries CE are also noteworthy. Despite these commonalities\, religio
 us interaction is not well understood\, mainly because the practice of rhe
 toric in early India normally precluded direct polemic attack. Moreover\, 
 the fragmentary nature of the evidence often means that the views of those
  involved in religious debates are only partly known. While many historica
 l difficulties are bound to remain\, problems can be addressed through a c
 ontextual study of literature and inter-textuality\, the use of archaeolog
 ical and epigraphic data\, and the application of landscape archaeology to
  understand how religious dispensations defined and occupied sacred space.
  This workshop is dedicated to an exploration of some of these issues.

DESCRIPTION:flyerPlease note that Vincent Gossaert had to cancel his parti
 cipation on short notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience.\nAssembling 
 case studies from all over Eurasia\, this conference aims at testing the a
 ssumption that in the context of the massive expansion in the traffic of p
 eople\, goods and information\, which acquired a new spectacular dimension
  from the early modern period onwards\, a global religious field started t
 o emerge. We propose to look especially at boundary work as it appears in 
 the situations of exceptionally dynamic and transformative religious const
 ellations such as missions or migration. We are interested in the double p
 rocess of convergence and differentiation: the way in which boundaries\, a
 lways porous and fluid\, are being set up and re-negotiated between religi
 ous communities\, as well as between religious and non-religious forms of 
 social communication. What are the patterns and mechanisms of dealing with
  religious diversity? How appropriate are the universality claims implied 
 in the notion of a global religious field? In how far do unexpected outcom
 es of dynamic interactions in and beyond the religious field challenge the
  idea of religious convergence?

DESCRIPTION:Beeinflusst von heute überholten Modernisierungstheorien hat 
 die Stadtforschung urbane Modernität in der Regel mit Säkularität gleic
 hgesetzt. Aber die Städte haben sich im Zuge der rapiden globalen Urbanis
 ierungsprozesse in den letzten Dekaden keineswegs säkularisiert. Vielmehr
  ist die vieldiskutierte Wiederkehr des Religiösen\, insbesondere im Rahm
 en von christlichen Erweckungsbewegungen\, islamistischen Strömungen\, sy
 nkretistischen Kulten oder dem Hindu-Nationalismus\, ein primär urbanes P
 hänomen. Und so beschränkt sich ‚Urban religion‘ in gegenwärtigen M
 etropolen keineswegs auf städtische Nischen­ und Minderheiten sondern in
 teragiert mit modernsten Formen von Urbanität. Auf der Basis der empirisc
 hen Forschungen des laufenden Projekts „Global Prayers – Redemption an
 d Liberation in the City“  diskutiert der Vortrag neuartige Verflechtung
 s­formen zwischen dem Städtischen und dem Religiösen anhand von Beispie
 len aus Lagos\, Rio de Janeiro\, Beirut\, Istanbul und Berlin.

DESCRIPTION:The session will be devoted to the role of scripture\, scriptu
 rality and orality in formation processes in late antiquity. Based on an a
 rticle by Guy Stroumsa ("Early Christianity – A Religion of the Book?")*
  we suggest to discuss some of the following questions in more detail.\n1.
  How important are orality and oral material in the formation of religion\
 , judged from your particular expertise?\n2. To what extent is a particula
 r mediality or a "media revolution"\, as Stroumsa puts it with Doron Mende
 ls\, a crucial factor of formation and spread of a religion?\n3. Do you ag
 ree with Stroumsa's hypothesis of the permeability of oral and written tra
 dition in general? Or do we have a certain degree of "scripturality" and t
 extual stabilization within the first phases of the formation processes?\n
 4. To what extent does the relation of text and commentary influence the f
 ormation of a particular religion?\n5. Do you know about any examples wher
 e text or scripture are an object of material exchange?\n6. And do you kno
 w about contact based receptions of texts in interreligious contexts?\n7. 
 Are there cases where translations were used in the formation or formative
  period of a particular religion?\n8. Do "interreligious" translations exi
 st\, and if they do\, where?\n9. Do you have examples of the emphasis of t
 he role of language in religious formation processes?\n10. Is there any in
 dication of exchange phenomena in handling sacred scriptures or in perform
 ance of scripture?\nWe would invite you all to contribute to the discussio
 n with specific examples from your particular material. If you have any id
 ea and are willing to present a very short input of 5-10 minutes\, based o
 n your material\, you are very welcome. Please send a short e-mail to chri

DESCRIPTION:poster\nAbout 600 years before the Roman Catholic Church began
  missionary work in China\, Nestorian missionaries had already arrived at 
 Chang'an\, the Chinese capital at that time. Nestorians left behind cultur
 al goods like books\, especially translations of the Bible\, and instituti
 ons such as hospitals along their way from Mesopotamia\, the birthplace of
  Nestorian Christianity\, to China. Even today one can find traces of a Ne
 storian heritage in the culture\, religions\, ethics\, and science of the 
 countries along the Silk Road.\nThe lecture will address the question if t
 he Nestorian Christianity reached Japan. This question has been asked by m
 any historians since the beginning of the 20th century\, and yet even toda
 y there is no clear answer. It is generally accepted that Nestorian Christ
 ianity did not come to Japan\, because no records or archeological traces 
 of any Nestorian missions to Japan exist.

DESCRIPTION:flyer\nDr. Henrik Sorensen changed his title into: "ESOTERIC B
 UDDHISM AT THE CROSS-ROADS: RELIGIOUS DYNAMICS AT DUNHUANG\, 9–10TH CENT
 URIES".\nSince the research consortium in Bochum is concerned to untangle 
 also building blocks that constitute religious transfer processes\, this w
 orkshop aims to explore the case study of the formation of Buddhisms\, par
 ticularly Tantric Buddhism\, in Eastern Central Asia. It seeks to investig
 ate local contributions to Buddhism as the tradition spread through a netw
 ork of Buddhist hubs along the Eastern Central Asia between the 9th and th
 e 13th centuries – a period that was a time of creative upheaval between
  the demise of the great empires of the Uighurs (840)\, the Tibetans (848)
  and the Chinese (fall of Tang in 906) and the Mongolian conquest of large
  parts of Eurasia (ca. 1227-1241). During these centuries of local rule at
  various oases (e.g. Dunhuang\, Guazhou\, Liangzhou\, etc.) different ethn
 ic groups such as the Tibetans\, Chinese\, Uighurs and Tanguts contributed
  to the development of Buddhisms. The workshop will examine the relations 
 and power relations between these ethnic groups and various oases in the f
 ormation of local expressions of Buddhism that later partly turned into ma
 instream in Tibet and China. In other words: the workshop would test the h
 ypothesis if the particular space and time of interest were prerequisites 
 to allow for a creative development of Buddhisms. To narrow the perspectiv
 es\, an emphasis should be on textual and visual transfer processes of Bud
 dhist traditions and on the different ethnic cultural agents. The workshop
  is thus organised in four sections: (1) an introductory part “circumsta
 nces for transfer processes along the Silk Road” to give an overview of 
 the how political\, economy and cultural factors shaped Central Asian oase
 s as Buddhist hubs\; (2) a section on “textual transfer” to elaborate 
 on textual transmission – also between the different ethnic groups and o
 ases\; (3) a section on “visual transfer” to explore the making of Bud
 dhist art at various sites\; and (4) a section on “transfer agents” th
 at would illustrate how Chinese\, Tibetans\, Uighurs and Tanguts contribut
 ed to particular local textual and/or visual forms of Buddhism.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nIf seen from the long-term perspective\, the history of
  East Asian religions definitively lacks the conflicts of Western and Midd
 le East traditions. The Chinese “Three Teachings” (san jiao 三教) fr
 amework supported coexistence rather than struggle and competition and\, t
 herefore\, terms such as “hybridism\,” “syncretism\,” or “eclect
 icism” have always played a major role in the field of East Asia areas s
 tudies. Yet\, the importance of eclecticism and thematic/social overlappin
 g notwithstanding\, it is questionable whether East Asian religions could 
 have survived through the centuries without a consistent synchronic and di
 achronic effort to construct the own religious luggage and to distinguish 
 themselves from more or less contiguous religious realms. To replace the f
 ocus on demarcation with a one-sided emphasis on the absorption of themes\
 , practices\, beliefs on the part of given religious and cultural spheres 
 appears to be a fairly illogical approach\, at least if one looks at histo
 rical evidence or the scholarly debates about the concept of alterity. Acc
 ordingly\, the workshop aims to collect case studies from the East Asian r
 ealm that might help (a) to describe the features of the interreligious di
 fferentiation processes at a given point in time and (b) to map constants 
 and changes of these processes through history.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: István Czachesz\nIt has been argued that religion p
 lays an important role in the creation and maintenance of identities and s
 ocial boundaries (e.g.\, Esler\, Krämer et al\, Lévinas\, Lieu\, Schreme
 r). However\, it remains unclear how this exactly happens and what roles d
 ifferent social\, psychological\, and ecological factors play in the proce
 ss. This paper addresses some of the relevant theoretical issues from evol
 utionary psychology\, social psychology\, and dual inheritance theory. In 
 particular\, I will make a distinction between “emergent identity\,” o
 n the one hand\, which is the result of bottom-up socio-cognitive process\
 , and “manufactured identity\,” on the other hand\, which results from
  a top-down process\, appropriating discourses and categories invented by 
 religious experts and literate elites. It remains to be understood how the
 se two processes interact and how far the resulting identities represent m
 ergers of the respective cognitive schemata. The goal of these considerati
 ons is to explain the involvement of non-elite and elite (as well as “la
 y” and “expert”) roles in religious identity formation\, with specia
 l attention to Near Eastern and Mediterranean Antiquity.\nPresentation:\n\

DESCRIPTION:Poster\nThis presentation focuses on the emergence of Brazil a
 s a key node in  a new poly-centric global cartography of the sacred that 
 is challenging  traditional understandings of the public place of religion
  in late  modernity.  Brazil has now become a major pole of religious inn
 ovation  and production\, exporting globally not only dynamic indigenized 
 forms of  Pentecostalism and Charismatic Catholicism\, but also African-ba
 sed  religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda\, as well as diverse express
 ions  of New Age Spiritism and Ayahuasca-centered neo-shamanism like Vale 
 do Amanhecer and Santo Daime.    I will discuss the multi-scalar actors\
 , networks\, flows\, media\, and  strategies that have made possible the r
 ise of Brazil as a “potência religiosa mundial”  [religious world pow
 er]\, in the words of sociologist José Casanova\,  drawing theoretical an
 d methodological implications for the study of  religion in motion.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nIt has become increasingly acknowledged by the scholarl
 y community that Chinese Buddhism and Daoism developed as separate yet clo
 sely related traditions in medieval and early pre-modern China through a p
 rolonged interaction spanning many centuries. This inter-relationship cont
 ributed much to the formation and further developments of both two religio
 ns and impacted their respective belief systems and practices in a number 
 of significant ways. It goes without saying that simplistic notions such a
 s ‘sinification\,’ used to explain the impact of Chinese culture on in
 -coming Buddhism or that of a ‘Buddhist transformation of China’ fall 
 short of elucidating the issues at stake in this inter-religious transform
 ation\, which we for want of a better term shall refer to as ‘Buddho-Dao
 ism.’ This workshop will address a number of issues relating to this dev
 elopment\, including doctrinal concepts\, ritual practices\, religious ico
 ns\, pantheons\, literature etc. As such it features elements of both reli
 gious systems\, not only in dialogue\, but also manifesting simultaneously
  in the same material. The Buddho-Daoist exchange will be further highligh
 ted through two presentations on developments outside China proper.

 s dritte 2003/2004. Die  Befragten\, bei denen es sich mehrheitlich um Stu
 dierende und einige  Schüler und Auszubildende handelte\, hatten in ihren
  Herkunftsländern  zumeist keine oder nur eine vage Bindung an das Judent
 um. Daher ist es  nicht verwunderlich\, dass sich in den Selbstbeschreibun
 gen und Deutungen  dessen\, was es heißt\, ein Jude zu sein\, unterschied
 liche  Entwicklungsverläufe zeigen. Gleichwohl lassen sich in grober  Ver

 erungshilfe“ und “Jüdische Identität als ein Element  verschiedener 
 Identitäten“ nenne. In meinem Vortrag werde ich auf der  Basis von Fall

 trading routes. This workshop is focuses on contact\, appropriation\, exch
 ange and opposition within Central Asian religious and cultural traditions

DESCRIPTION:Poster\nThe century of the Portuguese presence in Japan (c.154
 3-c.1539)\, which coincides with the country’s unification\, defines a f
 ield in which intercultural rivalry\, discussion and exchange can be studi
 ed in detail. The project we present aims at promoting a comprehensive res
 earch on the way Southern Europeans and Japanese confronted each other\, i
 nteracted and mutually experienced religious “otherness” through the s
 tudy of the composite cultural heritage\, mostly created in Japan\, by bot
 h European and Japanese. Through the analysis of sources almost never asso
 ciated – manuscript and printed texts written in both European languages
  and Japanese\, paintings\, engravings\, maps\, ceramics – a new insight
  will be given to this important moment in global cultural history. The ar
 rival of European traders\, mercenaries and well-trained members of religi
 ous orders in East Asia prompted a wave of debate\, studies and controvers
 ies between Buddhist monks and their Western counterparts. At this regard\
 , Jesuits played a major role in this global enterprise and\, contrary to 
 their policies in China\, in Japan started to interact with the composite 
 Buddhist clergies and the political elite. Relations between religions\, s
 trategies of interpretation and accommodation are the main fields in which
  intercultural contacts can be observed.\nEuropean and Asian Interactions:

 aftsdesintegrativ interpretiert werden müssen. Diese\, zu Islamdebatten k
 onträre These\, wird illustriert anhand der lokalen und nationalen Dynami
 ken und Veränderungen\, die sich seit der Errichtung des hindu-tamilische
 n Sakralbaus in Hamm-Uentrop ereignet haben. Hierzu gehört\, dass Tempel 
 und Feste zunehmend von deutschen Einheimischen besucht werden\, sich am T
 ag der Prozession das Verhältnis von Migrantengruppe und Aufnahmegesellsc
 haft geradezu umkehrt und sich eine ehemalige Konfliktgeschichte so sehr i
 n Wohlwollen aufgelöst hat\, dass die Stadt öffentlich für den hinduist
 ischen Pilgerort in Hamm wirbt. Am neuen Kontaktzonenprofil dieses Tempels
  zeigt sich\, dass Parallelgesellschaften eine integrative Rolle haben\, w
 enn sie nicht mit angstbesetzten Imaginationen verbunden werden.

 4-6 pm)\, Alexander Henn\, Sung-Deuk Oak\, Vasilios Makrides and Hüseyin 
 Aguicenoglu  will give a short introduction into their respective researc
 h projects\, including some statements on how they can relate to the resea
 rch field's self-defined task to "test" the hypothesis of the emergence of
  a global religious field in modernity. Some documents relevant to these f
 ormer discussions of the research field (documentation of RF4\, chapters b
 y Peter Beyer) have been uploaded to the CERES web-site and tagged for RF4
 .\nDuring the second part of our meeting\, we will have a general discussi
 on following up on the points brought up during the first part\, with the 
 aim of finding common grounds of interest and possibly working out a suita
 ble framework for the cooperation in the year to come.\n

DESCRIPTION:Ankündigung\nIm Zuge der globalen Umbrüche am Ende der 1980e
 r Jahre hat der  Begriff „Diaspora“ eine erweiterte – wenn auch umst
 rittene – Bedeutung  erlangt. Immer mehr Gruppen\, die sich vorher selbs
 t als ethnische oder  religiös-kulturelle „Minderheiten” im Kontext u
 nterschiedlicher  Nationalstaaten lokalisiert hatten\, definieren sich heu
 te als  Bestandteile weltweiter Diaspora-Netzwerke. Gleichzeitig rückten 
  Untersuchungen zu Diasporen in den Fokus des sozial- und  kulturwissensch
 aftlichen Forschungsinteresses. Der Schwerpunkt dieser  Forschungen lag zu
 nächst vorwiegend auf Fragen der Genese und Persistenz  von Diaspora- Ide
 ntitäten\, sowie auf Fragen der Identitätspolitik.  Diese Themen bilden 
 seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre einen wichtigen  Schwerpunkt der Forschung (un
 d Lehre) am Hamburger Institut für  Ethnologie. Mit zahlreichen Abschluss
 arbeiten\, Publikationen und  Konferenzen zu Identität und Identitätspol
 itik in der Diaspora kann  diese Forschungsphase inzwischen als erfolgreic
 h beendet angesehen  werden.\n \nUnter dem Titel „Diaspora as a Resourc
 e“ besteht seit 2006 ein neuer  Schwerpunkt unserer Diasporaforschungen.
  Ausgangspunkt ist die  Beobachtung\, dass bestimmte Diasporen in Geschich
 te und Gegenwart  signifikante Beiträge im ökonomischen\, kulturellen un
 d politischen  Bereich geleistet haben (und leisten)\, und damit eine Ress
 ource für ihre  Herkunfts- und für ihre Residenzländer darstellen. Insb
 esondere in   Zeiten ökonomischer oder soziokultureller Transformation s
 pielen  Diasporen in vielen Fällen die Rolle einer gesellschaftlichen  Av
 antgarde. Durch vergleichende ethnologische Fallstudien sollen Fragen  der
  sozialen und ökonomischen Organisation von Diasporen\, sowie die  Beding
 ungen für deren Erfolg systematisch ermittelt werden. Durch die  Gegenüb
 erstellung von „alten“ und „neuen“ Diasporen und den deutlichen  S
 chwerpunkt auf Faktoren des Erfolgs\, ist dieses Projekt auch als Kritik  
 an einem einseitigen Verständnis von „Diaspora“ als „Opfer“ gewal
 tsamer  Zerstreuung zu verstehen.\n \nNach einem allgemeinen Überblick 
 über den Stand der Forschungen und  über die theoretischen Konzeptionen 
 unserer Projekte stellt dieser  Vortrag (ca 45 min.) Faktoren des Diaspora
 -Erfolgs an ausgewählten  ethnographischen Beispielen vor. Ein besonderer
  Schwerpunkt liegt dabei  auf dem Faktor „Urbanität“ und der historis
 chen und gegenwärtigen  Bedeutung von „Diaspora-Städten“.

SUMMARY:The Influence of Central Eurasian Religious Beliefs on the Culture

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThe Central Eurasian Culture Complex\, the set of cultu
 ral features typical of peoples in Central Eurasia well into the Middle Ag
 es\, is focused around the God of ‘Heaven\, the sky’ (in Proto-Indo-Eu
 ropean ‘Sky-Father’\, or ‘Heavenly Father’)\; a shared ‘national
 ’ foundation myth in which the founder-hero prince is the son of this 
 ‘Heavenly God’\; belief in the prince’s heavenly or ‘divine’ blo
 od\; a hierarchical ‘feudal’ social structure binding everyone ultimat
 ely to the God of Heaven\, including the ruler\; and the belief that the r
 uler went to Heaven after his life on earth\, and that the ruler’s oaths
 worn comitatus warriors\, his ‘friends’\, went to Heaven with him. It 
 is hypothesized that when migrating Central Eurasians introduced their cul
 ture\, including their socioreligious belief system\, into the homelands o
 f peripheral peoples\, they contributed to the formation or development of
  some of the most dominant and widespread philosophical-religious systems 
 of Eurasia. Besides Confucianism and Zoroastrianism\, which are to some ex
 tent accepted cases\, the systems in question include Buddhism\, Taoism\, 
 Brahmanism\, Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. Traditional approaches to
  the origins of these belief systems rest on the assumption that they have
  arisen locally and independently without significant influence from elsew
 here\, the main exceptions being Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. This 
 forces anyone studying one system either to deny the existence of ‘influ
 ences’ proposed by the adventurous few or to argue that the systems are 
 similar because of some universal teleology\, e.g. the idea that Central E
 urasian-type monotheism (a system with one overwhelmingly dominant God in 
 Heaven) is more ‘advanced’ than other belief systems\, and therefore i
 t is natural for humans to adopt monotheism as they become more ‘advance
 d’. In addition\, it is a normal academic approach to argue that identif
 iable similarities\, no matter how unusual\, are merely universals\, but i
 n these cases it must be asked if the impression of universality is not ac
 tually an unexamined assumption arising out of the domination of the devel
 oped world by the very same ‘world religions’. In order to look into t
 hese and other questions\, it will be necessary to ‘think outside the bo
 x’ and call into question many received views. While doing so\, we hope 
 to discover unexpected things both about the ‘world religions’ and abo
 ut Early Central Eurasians’ beliefs.The core socio-religious features of
  the Central Eurasian Culture Complex include belief in the God of ‘Heav
 en\, the sky’\; in a national foundation myth in which the founder-hero 
 is the son of the God of Heaven\; and in the ruler going to Heaven after d
 eath accompanied by his oathsworn warrior ‘friends’. It is hypothesize
 d that migrating Central Eurasians introduced these beliefs to peripheral 
 peoples\, contributing to the formation or modification of the dominant so
 cio-religious traditions of Eurasia. Among other issues\, the papers will 
 consider whether these traditions are local variations of a single system 
 introduced by Central Eurasians over time\; whether there was a difference
  of kind between this monotheism and the ancient religious systems they re
 placed\; and whether the identifiable similarities are merely universal id
 eas\, or the impression of universality has arisen from the domination of 
 the modern world by the very same ‘world religions’.

 ransmitted from the Central Asian Oasis of Dunhuang to Tibet in the 8th/9t

 favoured or inhibited the transmission of the teachings. On the basis of a

  before and during the conference from Dorothea Weltecke.\nIn all religiou
 s cultures food plays an important role. Food practices integrate communit
 ies\, and they exclude others or even polemicize against them. In this sen
 se\, food is always an element of religious interaction. Strategies of pur
 ity and penance are both connected with eating and fasting. Persecuting in
 stitutions\, like the inquisition in the Latin Church\, were keen on ident
 ifying food practices as a sign of religious deviance. Eating and fasting 
 habits are constantly changing\, and they do not necessarily agree with th
 e norms. On the contrary\, historical and cultural conditions\, interrelig
 ious contacts and other factors contribute to the transformation of ritual
 s and customs.The purpose of the workshop is a comparative debate on the p
 rimary sources provided by the active participants\, which should foster t
 he interdiscipliniary understanding of different religions and their food.
  The workshop will develop comparative and systematic categories for furth
 er research.

 ip between spatial settings or constructions on the one hand and the ways 
 past societies organised religious diversity on the other. Religions are a
 lways located in a certain cultural and spatial environment\, but often te
 nd to locate (or translocate) themselves beyond that original setting. Fur
 thermore\, many religious traditions show the common trait that they are n
 ot only tied to or associated with the one area its respective adherent li
 ve in\, but are in fact bilocal or even “multilocal”\, as they closely
  relate to various spatial centres or plains at once. Religious diversity 
 or plurality on the other hand not only refers to the different beliefs of
  people\, but also to the environments they are located in. The diversity 
 of religions in the same space – be it at religious centres\, at contact
  zones between religions or at imagined spaces – and the exchanges or ot
 her forms of contact it generated will be analysed in a series of settings
  within and between Asia and Europe.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThis workshop aims to evaluate the concept of secret in
  a religious framework. Two main dimensions are in the focus of our “Boc
 humer Approach”: Contact and blank space. Secrets construct blank spaces
  that can be filled by unveiling the content (secret) on the one hand. On 
 the other hand they refer to something unspeakable (e. g. mystery\, antino
 my). In this sense the unspeakable is determined by a frame hinting to the
  undefinable content. Such blank spaces have their own contact dimensions.
  E.g.: Sociologically they generate “insiders” and “outsiders” or 
 furthermore they connect different groups by postulating to share the same
  “unspeakable” truths. This workshop will evaluate the functions and a
 ttractiveness of secrets as blank spaces and its special character as a ty
 pe of contact.

DESCRIPTION:flyer\nprogramm\nIn Greek and Roman Antiquity every political 
 community\, including the Hellenistic polis\, is considered a residential\
 , legal\, and ritual community as well. Therefore non-citizens were only i
 n exceptional cases allowed to participate in religious festivities\, and 
 this privilege was granted mostly to ‘foreigners’ being permanent resi
 dents in the specific community with scope and nature of their participati
 on varying broadly. On the other hand citizens not participating in the co
 mmunal rituals were considered a threat to the polis\, as the risked the c
 ontinued benevolence of the gods.In those circumstances Jews and Christian
 s were struggling to take part in the sacrificial rites for the communally
  worshiped gods\, e.g. a deified ruler. In return Jewish and Christian cul
 tic communities opened their own social meetings and festivities to potent
 ial new members. This hospitality was critical for the successful developm
 ent of the respective religious communities\, especially for the early Chr
 istian cults.Our workshop is going to compare the attitudes of Pagan\, Jew
 ish\, and Christian communities towards the inclusion of ‚guests’ in t
 heir religious festivities and will specifically tackle the question of th
 e possible motivators for this opening of communal rituals for ‚alien’
  participants\, e.g. the idea of universality of the worshipped god(s). Ho
 w the persons invited to such privileges reacted will also be a topic of d
 iscussion.

DESCRIPTION:VORTRAG FÄLLT LEIDER AUS!\nObwohl es immer ausgefeiltere Indi
 zes zur Messung von  Staats-Kirchen-Beziehungen gibt\, haben diese noch ni
 cht ihren Weg in die  Migrationsforschung gefunden. Studien über religiö
 se (und insbesondere  muslimische) Minderheiten stützen sich statt dessen
  auf stark  vereinfachte Modelle der Beziehungen zwischen Staat und Kirche
 \, um  internationale Unterschiede im staatlichen Umgang mit diesen Gruppe
 n zu  erklären. Auffallend ist zudem\, dass sich ein Teil der Hypothesen 
 über  die Wirkungsweise einzelner Staats-Kirchen-Modelle auf religiöse  
 Minderheiten diametral widerspricht. Der Vortrag diskutiert diese  Widersp
 rüche und versucht so\, das Verständnis davon\, wie die staatliche  Aner
 kennung einer\, keiner oder einiger ausgewählter Religionsgruppen auf  di
 e Vergabe von religiösen Rechten an neu hinzugekommene Gruppen wirkt\, zu
  erweitern.

DESCRIPTION:Georgios Halkias: Muslim Princesses in Buddhist Courts\nThe pr
 actice of princess-exchange (giving and/or receiving them as  brides) is a
  prevalent feature of ancient diplomacy that was widely  practiced in the 
 north-western Himalayas. Drawing from Ladakhi and Baltī  folk-literatures
  and histories\, I will survey folksongs composed during  the times of the
  Ladakhi royal dynasty (rgyal-dus) and examine the  narratives of the life
  of Muslim princesses who were sent as brides at  the courts of Ladakh and
  became Khatuns (Muslim Queens) in Buddhist  kingdoms. The Muslim Queens o
 f the Himalayas stand witness to a rich  cultural fusion\, an old blend of
  Arab\, Persian\, Mongol\, Indian and  Tibetan elements. Ever since the co
 nversion of the Baltīs to Islam in  the 14th century the Muslim princess-
 brides stood as promises of unity  and peace and as means of alleviating c
 onflict between the warring  houses of Baltistān and the Buddhist kingdom
 s of Ladakh.\nLecture:\nGeorgios Halkias: Muslim Princesses in Buddhist Co

 ages.\nHow did past societies define what we today may call a religious la
 nguage? What kind of basic distinctions were made for defining a religious
  field? Which kind of concepts were used for defining religion? In modern 
 Western societies concepts like "transcendence"\, "god"\, "heaven"\, "chur
 ch" play an important role for defining the religious field\, often in con
 trast to concepts such as "immanence"\, "man"\, "earth" and "secular socie
 ty. Are there different or corresponding concepts in other cultures\, regi
 ons and periods of time? I should like to invite you to a summary of aspec
 ts and an exchange of semantic and conceptional approaches to define the r
 eligious field in each of your fields of research. It would be most welcom
 e\, if you could prepare a statement of about one page for this discussion
 .\nSecond Part:\nIn his lecture our colleague Prof. Michael Weinrich will 
 present the most prominent results of his recently published study on "Rel
 igion und Religionskritik". We should use the chance to discuss them with 
 him in the view of our  interest in the comparative history of religion

  systematized approach to our future work in the research field\, centerin
 g on Peter Beyer's hypothesis of the emergence of a global religious field
  and fuelled by interreligious convergence. For a first outline of this pr
 oposal see the attached file "Making Sense of Convergence" (author: Alexan
 der-Kenneth Nagel). The first part of the session will be devoted to expla
 ining and discussing this paper. The second part of the session will be ba
 sed on the chapter on religion of C.A. Bayley's book "The Birth of the Mod
 ern World". In discussing this text\, which takes convergence (not only of
  religion) as a given of the modern world\, we will not only find material
  to discuss this assumption but also be able to test the distinctions and 
 attempts at systematization offered in our proposal.\nPapers:\nNagel\, 'Re

 n\nWith  contributions of Achim Lichtenberger\, Georgios Halkias and Chri
 stopher Beckwith\nSince the invention of the term »Hellenism« as designa
 tion of an epoch by J.G. Droysen\, the impact of Greek culture and the so 
 called »hellenic religions« on the religions in Central Asia and the Med
 iterranean has been under discussion. Have they been a trigger or push fac
 tor in processes of integration\, adoption\, amalgamization\, hierarchizat
 ion\, demarcation etc.? Have theses processes on the other hand led to inn
 er processes of stabilization (and destabilization)\, which have fostered 
 the sustainability of religious networks (densification) at the end? How f
 ar does the influence of Greek elements on religions in Central and Easter
 n Asia extend? How far is Hellenism itself enriched by religious tradition
 s from Asia? We want to discuss the impact of Hellenic conceptions on part
 icular religions in a comparative perspective. Thereby we want to focus es
 pecially on aspects of formation of religions which have been in the broad
 est sense in contact with the Hellenic culture.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThere is a variety of conceptions\, regulations and rit
 ual practices centered on the ways of disposing the dead across religious 
 communities. Hegel once remarked that history is the record of “what man
  does with death” and he may be right. Arguably\, religion is a testimon
 y of how humans have dealt with death and without death there might have b
 een no religion. Though this may be open to debate\, undeniably there are 
 enduring discourses concerning the proper and improper ways of disposing t
 he body (the vessel)–i.e.\, entombing\, mummifying\, embalming\, cremati
 ng\, burying (soil/water)\, dismembering\, consuming (cannibalism)\, feedi
 ng it to the beasts (sky-burials\, ‘towers of silence’)\, and so forth
 –which is believed in many cases to have an effect on the afterlife of i
 ts ‘contents’ (i.e.\, soul\, spirit\, mind-stream). While there are sy
 mbolic links between the physical after-life of the corpse and the locatio
 n of its disposal (i.e.\, cemeteries\, mausoleums\, catacombs\, rivers\, e
 tc)\, these ‘places of death’ (burial sites) may serve to unite and at
 tract people of the same faith and exclude people of other faiths. There a
 re many stories of persons who were unable\, for a variety of reasons (inc
 luding suicide)\, to cross to the other side and roam as ghosts and malevo
 lent spirits haunting places and people. Ethnographically\, cemeteries are
  generally seen as dangerous places avoided by those living. Fahlander & O
 estigaard (2008:12) follow with the remark that in such cases there is a c
 ommon belief that “the dead are not dead\, but they are alive\, although
  not as a fully fledged human being\, but nevertheless real and present.
 ” The dead body conjures up a host of attending discourses and legends c
 oncerning the physical and metaphysical spaces it ‘occupies’ before it
  gets disposed and after. It is closely linked with the creation of border
 s and with their transcendence (i.e.\, ‘life and death\;’ ‘dead and 
 the living\;’ ‘purity and impurity\;’ ‘partisans of religion x vs.
  y’).\nGenerally speaking the dead body calls upon two ritual processes\
 ; first\, is the initial preparation of the corpse (i.e.\, washing or anoi
 nting the body with oils or other substances) and second\, the actual mann
 er of its disposal. Burial evidence may be instructive for understanding t
 he formation and expansion of religious structures and traditions. Funeral
  rites are after all about a set of rituals by which those living are forc
 ed to deal with death and its materiality. As such they are not consistent
 \, coherent and unchanging. They are not performed in the same way among e
 quals (i.e.\, varying according to the rank of the deceased) and social an
 d legislative variations are often observed within the same religious cont
 exts. It would appear that death rites are vital to the definition and red
 efinition of religious ideas. New burial patterns emerged\, for instance\,
  when Islam spread from the cities of Arabia to Mesopotamia\, the eastern 
 Mediterranean\, and North Africa\, while religious scholars were often at 
 odds to distinguish Islamic rites from Christian\, Jewish\, and Zoroastria
 n practices. The participation of members of different religious communiti
 es in funerary practices and commemorations was at times\, but not always 
 encouraged\, while instances of desecration may be the byproduct of cross-
 religious dynamics. Hybridized death rituals and shared burial sites speak
  of periods of conversion and transference of ideas from one religion to a
 nother\, while mixed artistic traditions in slabs and funerary monuments m
 ight reveal compelling traces of religious acculturation and adaptation. T
 here are instances where codes of funerary law or funerary rituals have tr
 ansformed and were transformed by commonly held practices in accordance wi
 th changing political\, economic and urban settings. In this workshop we w
 ill be looking at case studies addressing this topic that illuminate insta
 nces of contact among compatible and/or competing religious traditions.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nBeginning in the twelfth century\, translations of Jewi
 sh texts begin  to appear in Christian Europe.  These translations were u
 sually of texts  concerned with the Bible (“correctoria”) or its exege
 sis.. Among the  texts translated are Bible commentaries (especially Rashi
 )\, liturgical  poems (piyyutim)\, but also halakhic (Talmud) and philosop
 hical texts  (Maimonides).\nThe workshop planned focuses especially on tra
 nslations of texts by  Ashkenazic Jews and their influence on Christian sc
 holars. To mention  only two areas: In the 19th century Arsène Darmestete
 r  discovered a medieval French translation of a Hebrew-written piyyut. Th
 e  question occurs\, as to why it was translated and who the possible  rea
 ders were. A second area is formed by the works of Rabbi Shlomo  Yitzhaqi 
 (“Rashi”\, ca. 1040-1105). He became famous within Judaism for  his co
 mmentary on all books of the Jewish Bible and of the complete  Babylonian 
 Talmud (only very few Biblical Books and Talmudic treatises  had been fini
 shed by his disciples). Some of these commentaries were  translated into L
 atin (at least one manuscript which contains a  translation of the comment
 ary on the Song of Songs is still extant) and  Rashi was one of the two Je
 wish authors who were read and quoted in  Latin literature of the 12th to 
 14th century.\nThe workshop aims at giving an overview over the state of s
 cholarly  work on Christian translation activities of Hebrew texts and of 
 the  transformation of Jewish knowledge into the Christian scholarly work 
 of  the high middle ages.\nThe invited speakers shall have enough time to 
 develop their argument  (ca. 45 minutes each) and it is planned to give ti
 me for extended  discussions.\nA volume with the proceedings might also re

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThis workshop aims to address a mode of negotiating cul
 tural  difference we propose to call “exclusive similarity.” Discussio
 ns of  alterity have often focused on exclusions marked by difference or t
 hat  have described the other as fundamentally alien. But less frequently 
  discussed are those acts of othering that work by excluding on the basis 
  of reputed similarity\, not difference. For these forms of  othering we w
 ill use the shorthand “heresy\,” a term that is open to  deconstructio
 n over the course of the workshop.\n“Heresy” was often used to describ
 e a kind of internal diversity. In  this sense\, the language of heresiogr
 aphy tends to presuppose a  perennial truth\, which must be guarded from d
 eviation. Charges of heresy  therefore work to construct orthodoxies throu
 gh a process of alienation  and repeated self-definition of orthodoxic (or
  orthopraxic) systems.\nBut there is an additional sense of “heresy” t
 hat interests us: the  way that this kind of exclusion functioned in cross
 -cultural  interaction. It is this cross-cultural function that will be th
 e focus  of the workshop. In the history of global encounters the other gr
 oup’s  religions were often branded as defective imitations or heresies.
  For  example\, some European Christian texts such as the Leggenda di Maom
 etto described  Muhammad as a heretic who had intentionally perverted Chri
 stian  doctrine for his own gain. Similarly\, one might think of the Chine
 se Laozi Huahu Jing\,  which claimed that Laozi had gone to India\, transf
 ormed into the  Buddha\, and there taught Buddhism as an intentionally def
 ective form of  Daoism. In these cases\, heresy works to domesticate the o
 ther with a  familiar kind of alienation.\nThere is a final use of heresy 
 in cross-cultural contact that  interests us. This is when “heresy” is
  used to render an internal  diversity alien through reputed association w
 ith a foreign group. For  example\, one might think of Martin Luther’s a
 ccusation that the  “Papists” were “Turks.” Similarly\, one might 
 think of Hayashi Razan’s  charge that his rival Japanese Neo-Confucians 
 were “Christians.” In  these cases\, the heresiographical language wor
 ks to assert the  equivalence of foreign and domesticheretics. It therefor
 e renders the  familiar foreign and alien by juxtaposition with another th
 at is  simultaneously being domesticated.\nSubmissions from different geog
 raphical areas\, religious contexts\,  and periods are encouraged. Any pap
 er addressing “exclusive similarity”  in a cross-cultural dimension wi
 ll be considered.

DESCRIPTION:Ankündigung\n\,Die Lebenssituation älterer MigrantInnen in D

 einer Typologie der Vernetzung sowie einer Typologie der   Interessenslage
 n kann gezeigt werden\, dass ältere Migranten in sehr   unterschiedlicher
  Art und Weise in Kontakt zu Bekannten und Verwandten\,   Landsleuten\, Gl
 eichgesinnten und anderen Bewohnern unterschiedlicher   Herkunft und Relig
 ion treten. Dabei wird deutlich\, dass nahezu alle   Formen der Vernetzung
  auf offene Gemeinschaften gerichtet sind\, die sich   eher an gemeinsamen
  Interessen als an gemeinsamer Herkunft oder   Religion orientieren. Gleic
 hzeitig ist die Zugehörigkeit zu einer   Religionsgemeinschaft wichtiger 
 Bestandteil im Alltag der älteren   Migranten und bei der kulturellen Bil
 dung der nachfolgenden   Generationen.

DESCRIPTION:Ankündigung\nDas Aufwachsen in modernen Gesellschaften stellt
  jugendliche  MigrantInnen in der Adoleszenz vor besondere Herausforderung
 en.  Einerseits müssen sie sich von den eigenen kulturell-familialen  Tra

 wickeln. Andererseits stehen sie vor dem Problem\, dass sie sich in  ihrer
  Zukunftsplanung auf eine Gesellschaft hin entwerfen müssen\, die  ihnen 
 vielfach Unverständnis entgegen bringt und ihnen abweisend\, zum  Teil so
 gar feindlich\, gegenübertritt. Alltagsrassismus ist vielfach eine  Form\
 , mit der den Jugendlichen gegenüber feine Unterschiede markiert  und Abw
 ertungen vollzogen werden.\nJugendliche gehen sehr unterschiedlich mit die
 sen Herausforderungen  um\, die Reaktionen reichen von der Einnahme aktive
 r Gegenpositionen  gegen erfahrene Entwertungszumutungen bis hin zu Resign
 ation und Rückzug  in familiale und ethnisch-kulturelle Zusammenhänge. I
 n der Literatur  werden vor allem Resignation und Rückzug als eine Form v
 on  Entsubjektivierung interpretiert. An die Stelle moderner\, auf  Indivi
 dualität bezogene Subjektorientierungen\, so die Argumentation\,  findet 
 nun eine verstärkte Rückbesinnung auf familiale Traditionen und  ethnisc
 he Gemeinschaften statt. Dieser Zusammenhang wird auch als eine  Form von 
 Re-Ethnisierung bezeichnet. Der Religion wird in diesem Kontext  vielfach 
 eine besondere Rolle zugeschrieben\, sie wird als sichtbares  Zeichen von 
 Ethnisierungsprozessen angesehen.\nDer Vortrag wird ausgehend von einer kr
 itischen Auseinandersetzung  mit der These der Re-Ethnisierung die Bedeutu
 ng der Ausbildung  kultureller und ethnischer Orientierungen für das Aufw
 achsen von  Jugendlichen in der Adoleszenz diskutieren und nach der Bedeut
 ung von  Religion in diesen Prozessen fragen. Dabei wird die These vertret
 en\,  dass religiöse Identifikationen von jugendlichen MigrantInnen unter
   Bedingungen gesellschaftlicher Abwertung und Ausgrenzung immer auch  Aus
 druck starker Identifikationen und Subjektpositionierung darstellen.

 r DFG-Forschergruppe „Transformation der Religion in der Moderne“ an d
 er Ruhr-Universität Bochum\nDie Entwicklung individueller und kollektiver
  Identitäten ist ein komplexer Prozess\, der mannigfaltige Auswirkungen a
 uf gesellschaftliche Strukturen und Interaktionszusammenhänge hat. Im Lau
 fe der Geschichte unterlagen Identitätszuschreibungen und -definitionen n
 icht nur einem Wandel\, sondern sie bildeten selbst – als eine Dimension
  von Vergesellschaftungen – einen bedeutenden Faktor der Wandlungs- und 
 Transformationsprozesse. Am Beispiel der Religiosität und deren konfessio
 neller Ausprägungen wird besonders deutlich\, dass Bewusstseins- und Komm
 unikationsstrukturen und soziales Handeln in ihrer Verschränkung von der 
 inneren Dynamik der Identitätsentwicklung und vor allem von der Tradierun
 g der Identitätsmuster abhängen. Der Familie kommt dabei im individualge
 netischen wie im gruppenspezifischen Kontext eine zentrale Bedeutung zu.Di
 e zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt als eine Umbruchsperiode im Hin
 blick auf soziale Beziehungen\, gesellschaftliche Reproduktion und auch Se
 lbstreflexion. Nach den Sozialisationskrisen der ersten Jahrhunderthälfte
  beschleunigten sich Prozesse der Deinstitutionalisierung\, Enttraditional
 isiserung und des Wertewandels. Für die Religion bedeuteten diese Prozess
 e einen sozialen Formwandel\, der vor allem die kirchlich gebundene Religi
 osität und das kirchliche Teilnahmeverhalten betraf. Zugleich pluralisier
 ten sich vor dem Hintergrund der Veränderungen der Geschlechterrollen und
  des generativen Verhaltens sowie der zunehmenden Frauenerwerbstätigkeit

 \, welche sozialisatorischen Voraussetzungen und Folgen die Transformation
 sprozesse im Bereich des Religiösen und der Familie nach dem Zweiten Welt
 krieg hatten und wie sie mit dem Wandel von Identitäten zusammenhingen. D
 abei kommt den Konfessionen als einem bedeutenden und integralen Identitä

  zu erfassen\, soll in einem interdisziplinären und international verglei

 nderen Sozialisationsinstanzen u. a. aus der Perspektive des Milieus\, der
  Migration\, der interkonfessionellen Beziehungen oder der alternativen Re
 ligiosität  thematisiert und diskutiert werden.

  Nicht zuletzt wird ein „Markt“ der  religiösen Möglichkeiten themat
 isiert\, der in Europa einen epochalen  Wandel religiöser Aneignungsmuste

DESCRIPTION:Poster\nIn  Denmark we have around  9\,000 Sri Lankan Tamil H
 indus\, most of which  live in the area around the cities Herning and Hols
 tebro in the Middle  and West of Jutland. The first generation came to Den
 mark as de facto refugees  starting in the late 1980s\, but mostly in the 
 1990s and already in 1994  the first Sri Lankan Hindu temple was consecrat
 ed. The need for a  religious\, cultural and social meeting place was fulf
 illed. Today we  have no more than three consecrated Srilankan Tamil Hindu
  temples with  either weekly or daily pūjās.\nThe  first generation seem
 s to be generally happy having a place to meet and  to worship as they did
  in Sri Lanka. The second generation though\, who  were either born in Den
 mark or came to Denmark as small children\, do  presumably not face the sa
 me needs as their parents\, and their relation  to the Sri Lankan Tamil tr
 adition seems to change. They are\, as well as  their parents Tamils and H
 indus in their self-understanding. But what  they put into these categorie
 s differs.\nWhile  the first generation in many ways tries to keep up trad
 ition as they  knew it from Sri Lanka\, the second generation does not. Th
 ey reinterpret  or take out elements from tradition\, which from a theoret
 ical  perspective can be labeled the collective memory (Assmann\,  Hervieu
 -Léger)\, which both helps them engage in Danish society and bond  them t
 o the tradition they share with their parents. In other words  tradition i
 s negotiated between the society they are part of and the  identity of bei
 ng either a Tamil or a Hindu.\nMy  talk\, which is based on my own empiric
 al research in Denmark\, including  around 50 semi-structured interviews w
 ith young Sri Lankan Tamil  Hindus\, reading and chatting on the internet 
 with them\, as well as  analyzing articles from the Magazine called Brobyg
 geren (“The Bridge  builder) – a magazine made by and written to Tamil
  youngsters\, will try  to give some examples on how young Tamil Hindus’
  relation to cultural  memory seems to differ in comparison with their par
 ents.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer Poster\nInter-religious contacts between Buddhists and C
 onfucians during the Chosŏn period shouldn’t be reduced to Buddhism in 
 an environment dominated by Neo-Confucian thought\, but also research in a
  wide range of interaction modes – revealed through religious\, historic
 al and literary sources.\nCase studies contrast theses interaction modes a
 nd identify trends in their historical development\, in order to develop b
 uilding blocks of a more abstract typology of religious contacts.\nWorksho
 p: "Between Dialogue\, Polemic and Apologetic: Modes of Inter-Religious Co
 ntact in Pre-Modern Korea Seen in the Regional Context of Far East Asia"\n
 From: 16:00h Thursday\, April 14th To: 16:00h Friday\, April 15th 2011\nTh
 e presentations dealt\, according to the topic of the conference\, with di
 fferent aspects of interreligious contact on the Korean peninsula. Through
  the introduction of a wide range of sources\, different modes of contact 
 were examined.\nHenrik Hjort Sørensen (Copenhagen/Bochum) took up the nar
 rative of a Buddhist decline in Koryŏ times (918-1392)\, which has been w
 idely spread in modern research. He discussed previously assumed reasons f
 or and symptoms of such a decline\, eventually to refute the very idea of 
 such a decline. The sources\, in the form of petitions to the throne or po
 lemics\, rather speak for a strengthening of Neo Confucian thought in the 
 political sphere\, whose spokespersons discredit Buddhism for political re
 asons\, often under the circumstances of factional strife. Due to politica
 l conflicts the conduct in contact situations turns rougher also on the le
 vel of religious discourse\, where sympathetic tendencies decline in signi
 ficance and polemical attacks increase. Notably in official history record
 s\, the demarcation along the lines of religious allegiance becomes all th
 e more important.\nChristian Mularzyk (Bochum) analyzed cognitive patterns
  that underlie a special case of doctrinarian hybridity in the Buddhist wr
 itings of Kim Sisŭp (金時習\, 1435-1493). To explain the soteriologica
 l scheme of the five positions of the Caodong school (Caodong wuwei 曹洞
 五位)\, Kim employs the Diagram on the Supreme Ultimate (Taiji tu 太極
 圖) authored by the Neo Confucian thinker Zhou Dunyi (周敦頤\, 1017-10
 73)\, together with the commentary by Zhu Xi (朱熹\, 1130-1200). The pre
 sentation aimed for an explication of reasons for which the combination of
  these texts could seem plausible to Kim Sisûp. The main basis for this p
 lausibility was located in numerical symmetries in the architecture of bot
 h thought systems as they were perceived by the author.\nBased on predatin
 g models of heterodoxy in China\, Vladimir Glomb (Prague) spoke on concept
 s of heterodoxy in the context of an emerging Neo Confucian tradition in K
 orea. The central figures in his presentation were T'oegye Yi Hwang (退
 溪李滉\, 1501-1570) and Yulgok Yi I (栗谷李珥\, 1536-1584). Startin
 g point for the enquiry was a passage from the Lunyu 論語\, i.e. the ana
 lects of Confucius\, which figured to become a focal reference point for d
 iscussions on heterodox teachings (yi duan / I tan 異端) in Confucianism
  and Neo Confucianism. Although according to the standard understanding of
  the passage it is recommended to keep distance to heterodox teachings as 
 a precautionary measure to avoid their attractive traits\,  Confucian orth
 odoxy once and again refers to marked heterodox teachings in processes of 
 self-positioning: In antiquity\, this is the case vis-à-vis the schools o
 f Yang Zhu (楊朱\, 4th century b.c.E) and Mo Di (墨翟\, 5th century b.
 c.E.)\, in the era of the Tang (唐\, 618-907) vis-à-vis Buddhism\, and i
 n the Song (宋\, 960-1279) this attitude is directed against Chan 禪. In
  the special case of Korea\, the marginalized role of Buddhism and the eme
 rgence of the teachings of Wang Yangming (王陽明\, 1472-1529) and Sŏ K
 yŏngdŏk (徐敬德\, 1489-1546) leads to the application of the concept 
 of heterodoxy to inner-Confucian discourse: In this rigid discourse\, Conf
 ucian teachings are evaluated as being either orthodox or heterodox.\nIsab
 elle Sancho (Paris) examined the inner-denominational discourse on heterod
 oxy through the biography of Yulgok Yi I. Although later to be remembered 
 one of the most important figures in the history of Korean Confucianism\, 
 Yulgok in his youth enters a Buddhist monastery – out of grief and after
  after finishing his mourning period for his deceased mother. In this epis
 ode\, however\, falls his Confucian awakening experience\, leading him to 
 return to the worldly sphere\, where he would eventually succeed masterful
 ly in Confucian state examinations and hold a strong Confucian viewpoint w
 henever it came to religious politics. Nonetheless the Buddhist interlude 
 in his youth becomes an issue much discussed in his lifetime and posthumou
 sly. Comparing his biography to those of model thinkers of Neo Confucianis
 m in China (esp. Zhu Xi)\, common traits in them could hint at an idea sim
 ilar to that of a Bildungsroman: Pioneering figures of a tradition need to
  fall into the clutches of heterodox doctrine before they eventually can b
 ecome exemplary thinkers of orthodoxy.\nKim Daeyeol (Paris) also focused h
 is research on the life of a particular person\, in this case that of Tasa
 n Chŏng Yagyong (茶山丁若鏞\, 1762-1836)\, a state official and Conf
 ucian thinker of the late Chosŏn era. Although he is generally portrayed 
 as a devout Confucian\, Tasan shows intellectual openness to ideas of diff
 erent schools of thought or religions. In examining his writings\, the que
 stion was posed\, at what stages of his life concrete influences of Buddhi
 st thought could be observed\, and how this inspiration could take place. 
 The focus was placed on poetic works\, which were ordered in sequence foll
 owing his biography. During active duty as an official (1790-1800) documen
 ts written by Tasan reveal a strong repulsion of Buddhism\, while he at th
 e same time often pays visit to Buddhist monasteries. In the phase of exil
 e (1801-1818) a re-orientation of his attitude towards Buddhism takes plac
 e: Thus\, Tasan perceives the calmness of Buddhist monasteries to be enjoy
 able as a contrast to the busy everyday life of a clerk in an office. In t
 his time\, he develops friendly relationships with monks\, only social obl
 igations hindering him in becoming a fully ordained monk. The key to under
 stand this change of perception lie in Chŏng's new understanding of the r
 elationship between Buddhism and Confucianism: Initially having viewed bot
 h teachings as quite distinct from each other\, he perceives them now to b
 e close to each other. Secondly\, one can observe a spiritual re-orientati
 on after his being exiled a civil servant. In this scenario\, the medium o
 f poems serves to create an aesthetic space for the discussion of Buddhist
  ideas.\nYannick Bruneton (Paris) dedicated his presentation to an inquiry
  into the Tongmun sŏn 東文選\, a late 15th c. normative compilation pr
 oviding a counterpart to the Chinese Wenxuan 文選 by assembling exemplar
 y lyrics and prose literature from the Korean peninsula. After examining t
 he structure of the TMS\, Bruneton scrutinized monastery records and biogr
 aphies of monks contained in the work for Confucian influences. Generally 
 composed by Confucian literati\, the texts often describe Buddhist monks a
 s virtuous in a Confucian sense\, e.g. as loyal (ch'ung 忠). This re-eval
 uation of the virtue of monks\, however\, also has another ring to it: By 
 explicitly praising a small number of monks in this way\, it is implicitly
  said that most monks do not adhere to stately ideals and therefore cannot
  be seen as virtuous. At the same time\, the speaker remarked that many ea
 rly Confucian thinkers had a rather ambivalent position towards Buddhism: 
 Despite all radical polemics\, to entertain friendly interactions with mon
 ks was an everyday affair.\nThe presentations of the workshop exemplified 
 in astonishing manner the complexity of Buddho-Confucian contact during th
 e Koryŏ and the Chosŏn eras. Thus\, a broad range of interactions may be
  observed\, depending both on media and genres as well as the biographies 
 of individual authors\, or even phases thereof. Correspondingly\, the orga
 nizers plan to unite the contributions in a volume honoring the multi-pers
 pective approach of the workshop and the multi-faceted picture emerging fr
 om the contributions.

DESCRIPTION:Flyer  Poster\nOn Friday\, 8th of April 2011\, there was a wo
 rkshop  organized by Concetta Finiello and myself\, on “Early translatio
 ns of the  Qur’ān\, Part II”. The first part took place one year ago\
 , on 19th of March 2010. Both parts had the purpose to review and to inten
 sify  research on translations of the Qur’ān for the following reasons:
  An  important requirement for the expansion of religions in an intellectu
 al  sense (were are not concerned here with military or political expansio
 n\,  but with its sequels) is the production of translations of the holy  
 texts into the languages of the newly acquired territories. To translate  
 these texts seems not only useful but rather inevitable even in case of  a
 n untranslatebility of the original text due to its uniqueness that is  as
 sumed not only regarding the aspect of revelation but also of  language. W
 e all know of the Koranic concept of Idjāz\, the unimitability  and untra
 nslatebility of the Qur’ān. Nevertheless\, the Qur’ān has  actually 
 been translated into foreign languages since the expansion of  Muslim empi
 re. On the other hand\, also non-Muslim people often have a  great interes
 t in translations of the enemies’ scripture in order to  take up the int
 ellectual struggle against Islam.\nIn the workshops\, we were interested e
 specially in translations into –  so to speak – non-Islamic languages\
 , that means languages that belong  to countries which are not ore not ent
 irely Islamic. To make it  concrete\, we were concerned firstly with the t
 hree holy languages of  Judaism and Christianity\, namely Hebrew\, Greek a
 nd Latin\; secondly with  European vernacular languages\; and thirdly with
  East or Southeast Asian  languages. Our interest lies on the earliest att
 empts to translate the  Qur’ān into these languages\, and subsequently 
 in the later history of  translation\, too.\nIn the first part of the work
 shop\, after an overview to the problem  of ‘untranslatebility’ (idjā
 z al-qur’ān) given by Hartmut Bobzin\, the  languages we were concerned
  with were Byzantine Greek\, medieval Latin\,  17th century German\, and (
 perhaps most surprisingly) modern\, i.e. 20th century Japanese (for detail
 s\, see IKGF Workshop I Report). In the  second part of the workshop\, we 
 concentrated on further vernacular  European languages both Western and Ea
 stern ones\, namely Aljamiado (i.e.  Spanish written in the Arabic alphabe
 t) and French in the West\, Polish  and Russian in the East. Furthermore\,
  we discussed a different Latin  translation and\, to be not too christian
 ocentristic\, translations into  Hebrew. It was planned to have also a tal
 k by our former fellow Svevo  d’Onofrio on translations into Sanskrit\, 
 but unfortunately it was not  possible to find any existing copy of a Sans
 krit Qur’ān neither in  Europe nor in India. Perhaps some of us remembe
 r Svevo’s last talk here  in our consortium when he showed that the famo
 us Indian Om sign is a  distortion of the word Allah written in Arabic let
 ters – just to make  the relationship evident.\nNotwithstanding this bli
 nd spot on our map\, we had a wide range of  space as well as of time: Fro
 m Southwestern to Northeastern Europe and  to the Near  East\, from the be
 ginning of the 13th up to the 20th centuries. And we had also a wide range
  of cultural transfer phenomena:  One the one hand\, there are translation
 s that resulted from direct  encounters between Muslims and Christians or 
 Jews\, respectively\, in a at  least partly Islamic environment\; one the 
 other hand\, the French and  Slavonic translations were made in a complete
 ly different cultural  context far from the genuine Muslim countries.\nThe
  first paper was given by Dr. Ulisse Cecini from Erlangen\, who is with us
  as an Assitant Researches since the 1st of April now. Cecini was concerne
 d with the Latin translation of the  Qur’ān by Marc of Toledo\, finishe
 d about 1209 or 1210. His translation  was far less known and far less inf
 luential than the famous translation  by Robert of Ketton from 1143\, but 
 Cecini convincingly showed that  Marc’s translation is much more oriente
 d at the Arabic original that  Robert’s was. By means of comparison of s
 everal surahs\, one could easily  recognize the differences. The purpose o
 f that very close translation  that sometimes is not easy to understand ob
 viously was to present a  scholarly instrument for a bilingual reading of 
 the Qur’ān to learned  Christians who were not familiar enough with Ara
 bic to read it only in  the original language. Consequently\, Marc’s tra
 nslation was used by  later missionaries like Riccoldo da Monte di Croce.\
 nThe second paper was a real highlight: Professor López-Morillas from  Bl
 oomington/Indiana (USA) is the leading worldwide expert in Aljamiado\,  es
 pecially Spanish translation of the Qur’ān keeping Arabic letters. So  
 we were very happy that she had come to Bochum to present us the results  
 of her long time research on that topic. The first translation of the  Qur
 ’ān into a European vernacular at all was the translation into  Spanish
  made by the Alfaqui of Segovia\, ‘Isa ibn Djabir\, on behalf of a  famo
 us Christian theologian\, Juan de Segovia\, who made a interlinear  Latin 
 translation from the Spanish. Unfortunately\, this trilingual  Qur’ān i
 s lost. Professor López gave an overview over the surviving 26  manuscrip
 ts containing Spanish Qur’āns\, most of them bilingual in Arabic  and A
 ljamiado (in Castile or Aragonese dialect). Of particularly  interest was 
 her presentation of “The Mystery of Ms. Toledo 235”\, the  only comple
 te Spanish translation. It is in Latin characters and  transcripted from a
  bilingual manuscript in Aljamiado\, finished as late  as 1606. Professor 
 López’ edition of that text with a detailed study of  its paleographica
 l and linguistic features is under press and will come  out in the next fe
 w weeks.\nThe third paper given by Dr. Aleida Paudice\, former Assistant  
 Researcher at Halle-Wittenberg\, dealt with Hebrew translations and  trans
 literations of the Qur’ān. She gave a report of her so-far studies  in 
 that topic\, concentrating mainly on manuscripts with Arabic Qur’āns  i
 n Hebrew characters\, obviously written for and used by people who  unders
 tood spoken Arabic but could only read Hebrew script – just the  opposit
 e to the aforementioned Mudéjars and Moriscos whose spoken  language was 
 Spanish\, but who could read only Arabic letters. There  were\, as far as 
 we know\, no medieval translations of the Qur’ān into  Hebrew. The firs
 t one was made by Jakob Levi b. Israel in 1636 Venice\,  not directly from
  the Arabic\, but from the Italian translation of Andrea  Arrivabene 1547.
  The first direct translation is from Hermann  Reckendorf\, Leipzig 1857.\
 nIn the afternoon\, we had two further papers by Bochum scholars\, one  by
  Dr. Annette Gerstenberg from the Romanistic Department\, the other one  b
 y Prof. Mirja Lecke from the Department of Slavic languanges. Dr.  Gersten
 berg talked about French translations\, the first being that of  André Du
  Ryer1647\, followed by that of Claude-Étienne Savary 1783 and  Albert Ka
 simirski 1840. It was highly interesting to see how Dr.  Gerstenberg showe
 d by means of a synopsis of several Qur’ānic passages  and the three Fr
 ench translations that the method and purpose of the  translations changed
  over the centuries: While Du Ryer made a  Christianizising translation fo
 r polemical purposes (to demonstrate the  absurdities of the Qur’ān)\, 
 Savary’s intention was to create a literary  work of art congenial to th
 e Qur’ān\; finally\, Kasimirski’s translation  is philological one to
  serve interests of historical scholarship. So the  trias may be called in
  terms of absolutism\, enlightenment\, and  historicism.\nThe last\, but n
 ot the least presentation was by Prof. Lecke on the  first Polish and Russ
 ian translations\, respectively. They are not  comparable at all\, because
  of their completely different origin\, purpose  and linguistic features. 
 The first Polish translation called “The  Lithuanian Tefsir” was made 
 about 1600 by Muslims for a Muslim minority  living in Poland (including p
 arts of the Balticum at that time). It is  preserved in some bilingual Ara
 bic-Polish manuscripts written entirely  in Arabic letters\, a kind of Pol
 ish Aljamiado\, so to speak. Since the  Muslim community was later complet
 ely Polonized\, that means also  Catholizised\, these translations had no 
 future impact and have of course  never been printed. In the Russian empir
 e\, on the other hand\, there are  many peoples of Muslim faith until toda
 y who have their own languages  and translations. The first Russian transl
 ation by Petr Posnikov is a  Christian orthodox one and was made for polem
 ical and missionary  purposes. It was published 1716 in St. Petersburg and
  is a somewhere  grotesquely distorted translation from the French of Du R
 yer. The second  Surah\, for example (al-baqara\, revealed at Medina)\, wh
 ich in Du Ryer is  titled “La vache\, à Medina”\, in Posnikov sounds 
 like that: “From  Lavache to Medina”.\nIn sum\, the workshop gave fasc
 inating insights not only into  different kinds of philological aspects of
  the translations\, but also  into religious transfer phenomena that are c
 rucial for Research Field 2.  The idea came up to wide and deapen these in
 sights by holding a third  part of this workshop on translations in langua
 ges not yet concerned\,  namely East and Southeast Asian languages like Ch
 inese and Indonesian\,  or at least to include these languages in the fort
 hcoming publication.  And perhaps we’ll discover a Sanskrit Qur’ān\, 
 too.

 the early modern perception\, stereotyping and understanding of the religi

 he symposium will be articulated in two sessions: \n\nEnlightenment views
  of Judaism\, Islam and Far      Eastern Religions \nEarly modern represen

 Religions\n\nEach session will focus on core concepts\, such as religion\,
  morality\, and tolerance\, and ‘radical’ representations of the relig

      religious groups view other religious groups in early modern (actual\
 ,      fictional or scholarly) situations of contact\, and how did they gr
 asp them      conceptually? \n Religious      tolerance\, it has been sai
 d\, involves a complex blend of rejection and      acceptance. Along with 
 philosophically ‘radical’ and secularising claims for ‘universal    
   toleration of all opinions\, true and false\,’ can we identify\, both 
 in early      modern Europe and Asia\, specific faith-based ‘orthodox’
  conceptualizations      of (communal and/or individual) religious toleran
 ce? \nHow was      heterodoxy (with its long associations with deviancy\, 
 heresy\, error\, and      dissent) determined in the case of each religiou
 s group? What was the      effect (if any) of religious heterodoxy\, anti-
 dogmatism and rationalism on      the mainstream perception and representa
 tion of the religious Other? \nHow did      the encounter with the religio
 us and cultural Other\, with the distant      Other\, prompt a re-examinat
 ion\, or a re-interpretation\, of one’s own      convictions\, as well a
 s a legitimisation of the nearby Other? \n\nReport

 een Language and Institutionalization \n \nConference of the Käte-Hambu
 rger-Kolleg\,\nto be held in February 2011 at Bochum-University\n \nThe e
 mergence of the modern notion of religion is part of the transformation of
  religions in modern societies. Due to the claim of the modern state – s
 ince the French Revolution – to be sovereign over the whole of society a
 nd all its citizens\, religions had to reinvent themselves as institutions
  within society. Some religious groups did this by resisting and rejecting
  the state’s claims\, while others presented themselves as the avant-gar
 de of this evolution\, and as models of moral communities.\nToday\, people
 \, especially those familiar with religious studies\, find ‘religion’ 
 and ‘religions’ all over the world and everywhere in history. Even tho
 se who would reject such an identification\, such as Confucianists or Soci
 alists\, are included into the big family of religions by others. The same
  mechanism works for ‘religious’ concepts: despite their multivalent s
 emantics they are usually subsumed within a religious vocabulary\, which i
 s supposed to be coherent and conceptually independent. Take for instance 
 the concepts of ‘piety’ and ‘fate’\, which have – despite of the
 ir “secular” usage – been incorporated in religious discourses\, as 
 referring to ‘religious’ practices\, rituals and conceptions.\nActuall
 y\, the concept of religion in this general\, globally and historically wi
 de-extended sense\, is pretty young and regionally limited: it is\, basica
 lly\, an offspring of certain strands within the West-European Enlightenme
 nt of the 18th century. It was – and is – not a neutral analytical cat
 egory\, but also a linguistic instrument for classifying\, subsuming\, com
 paring and regulating various social\, political and intellectual phenomen
 a. Looked at from a pragmatic understanding of language the concept may be
  taken as an argument or weapon in cultural dialogues\, social conflicts\,
  or political struggles. This is how we take it in this conference.\nHowev
 er\, if religions cannot be simply identified\, are not simply ‘out ther
 e’\, but have to be perceived and identified by contemporary agents\, th
 e question arises how this was done in the first place: how where phenomen
 a perceived and labelled as being ‘religious’? A second question immed
 iately follows: what consequences did this labelling have for the institut
 ionalisation of religion within societies? Labelling directs the perceptio
 n of people\, gives coherence to social actions\, prepares the ground for 
 rules and laws\, opens up fields of action and makes possible new practice
 s. In short\, it redefines the social practice of religion.\nFollowing the
  scope and program of our research group we study the linguistic formation
  and institutionalisation of religions in modern societies. Our efforts co
 ncentrate on European and Asian societies from the 18th to the 20th centur
 ies\, the diffusion of religious concepts within and between them\, with a
  special focus on the concept religion itself. Under the conditions of the
  discursive and legal separation of political and religious power religiou
 s communities in modern societies were increasingly obliged to legitimize 
 their own traditions\, practices and conceptions in terms that non-believe
 rs could understand and accept.\nWe have chosen four fields of study:\n- 
          Religious Membership and Statistics: What did membership 
 mean to different religious groups? How were membership and other forms of
  belonging defined\, both from within the group and from without? Which ef
 forts were undertaken by state authorities to count religious membership a
 nd bring the results together in national statistics? Who started to count
  religious groups and for what purposes? How was the concept of ‘religio
 n’ used and made applicable in these statistics? What consequences did t
 his counting and the resulting numerical self-awareness have for the self-
 understanding\, practices and policies of the various religious groups?\n-
           Teaching Religion at School: Modern states made an enor
 mous effort to educate their subjects and turn them into moral citizens. H
 ow was this instruction conceptualized\, and how was ‘religion’ distin
 guished from\, or integrated within\, this project of moral transformation
 ? Did the state use\, co-opt\, regulate or exclude particular religious gr
 oups or concepts in building up this moral economy of public education? Di
 d religious groups oppose or support this attempt to turn ‘religious’ 
 subjects into loyal\, committed and disciplined citizens?\n-       
    The Scientification of Religious Language and Religious Concepts:  H
 ow were religious concepts/religious languages defined in relation to non-
 religious languages and concepts? The new or re-defined ‘religious’ co
 ncepts transcended traditional specific religious discourses\, and could t
 hus be used by secular people as well. This could lead religious groups to
  a critical self-reflection by means of discussions with the sciences (Wes
 tern religion in the 19th century is the prime example). Is this the gener
 al trend? Or are there other ways in which religious groups could either a
 ppropriate or radically reject the new discourse on ‘religion’?\n-  
         Religious Freedom: The establishment of modern states goes 
 together with a constitutional definition of the place - rights and restri
 ctions - of religion within society. By this means traditional ‘religiou
 s’ beliefs\, holidays\, associations\, institutions\, properties and man
 y other things were either regulated and protected\, or forbidden\, suppre
 ssed or destroyed. A new configuration of possible fields of action for re
 ligious groups emerged. Has the spread of constitutions and legal systems 
 of a Western type\, defining religion as a separate sphere\, transferred t
 he Western definition of religion all over the world as well?

DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nBackground and Aims\nReligious semantics are shaped not
  just by the actors of the religious field themselves\, but also to a cons
 iderable degree by non-religious instances. In this regard\, the disciplin
 e of religious studies has been particularly influential\, shaping both th
 e concept of religion itself as well as other religious concepts. While th
 is fact may sound self-evident\, it has not been generally acknowledged fo
 r religious studies outside of Europe\, as the assumption has long been th
 at they are merely more or less successful adaptations of the European mod
 el\, just as is sometimes assumed that the concept of religion was simply 
 taken over from the European example. Yet\, both specific cultural dynamic
 s (makeup of the religious field itself\; conceptual configuration of the 
 religious field prior to contact with Western ideas\, differences in value
  attributed to the religious field in both society and academia) and polit
 ical factors (colonial or semi-colonial status\, role of the Christian mis
 sion within this colonial permeation) have to be taken into consideration 
 when attempting to account for the role of religious studies in different 
 non-European countries\, as it took shape roughly between the 1870s and 19
 30s. Transnational factors do\, however\, obviously loom large and will th
 us have to be taken into account\, albeit not as a one-way street: Even in
  the early phase of its formation in Europe\, knowledge of Asian religions
  was instrumental for some of the central notions structuring the academic
  field. The workshop therefore included one paper by Arie Molendijk on nin
 eteenth-century conceptions of Asian religions within the budding discipli
 ne of religious studies in Europe.\nProgram\n9.00–9.30    Welcome & I

 ts\nWhile the early history of the discipline of religious studies (or “
 science of religion”) in Europe is one of “gradual emancipation from t
 he patronizing power of theology”\, the situation in East Asia was very 
 different. To be sure\, there had been a tradition of the scientific study
  of religions in East Asia conducted within religious organizations\, but 
 we find in the modern age less a process of emancipation from an older heg
 emonic field of study (as theology in Europe)\, but rather a  parallel pr
 ocess of adoption of modern\, Western notions of what is appropriate or ev
 en necessary in academia. Crucially\, the early religious studies scholars
  both in Europe and in East Asia\, just like theologians\, held a basic be
 lief in the necessity of religion for humankind\; other than theologians\,
  however\, they saw this as a universal property of human beings that coul
 d be realized in many forms and shapes. In this sense\, religious studies 
 in China or Japan played a similar role to that in Europe in that it serve
 d to defend the cause of religion in the face of modernity. Religious stud
 ies thus served quite a similar cause as theology\, but with different\, n
 amely modern\, means.\nIn the light of this insight\, it is little surpris
 ing that most of the early exponents of religious studies in East Asia saw
  in Christianity and Buddhism the two prime examples of religion in a valu
 e-laden sense. Yet\, research on religious groups or phenomena that were l
 ess adept at articulating themselves was also conducted\, such as shamanis
 m\, folk religions\, new religious movements\, folk beliefs\, and what was
  then called “superstitions”. Not infrequently\, however\, this kind o
 f research was tied to political agendas: Ethnographic field work on popul
 ar religions in China contributed to the anti-superstition campaign in the
  1920s\; research results of Japanese anthropologists on Korean new religi
 ons was used by the colonial government to suppress groups\; and in Japan 
 as well\, mainstream religious studies scholars supported government crack
 downs on groups viewed as pseudo-religions and detrimental to the nation
 ’s efforts of modernization.\nIn terms of the historical semantics of re
 ligion\, religious research and the new disciplinary consciousness contrib
 uted to a process in which many religious phenomena were subsumed under th
 e relatively new term “religion”. These phenomena were\, however\, oft
 en marked by clear hierarchical value assignments such as those following 
 theories of developmental stages. In this sense\, religious studies were c
 learly complicit in the strongly statist actual treatment of religious gro
 ups in China\, Korea\, and Japan up to 1945\, where positive value was acc
 orded only to large established religions\, while all others were viewed w
 ith suspicion. At the very least religious studies reinforced the (new) ca
 tegories of religion vs. superstition\, which then became the fundament of
  discriminatory religious policies. Thus\, perhaps even more so than in ni
 neteenth-century Europe\, religious studies in early twentieth-century Eas
 t Asia contributed to defining the still young concept of religion\, a con
 tribution that had a crucial impact because of the way it fed into the mak
 ing of religious policy of the modernizing nation states in East Asia.

 ing “Modes and Models of Religious Attraction” from the perspective of
  the dimensions “materiality” and “experience”. The aim in this co
 ntext was not to expose “attraction” as a psychological category or as
  a factor in identity within a subject-object dialectic\, but rather as a 
 specific dynamic factor in the context of religious densification\, delimi
 tation and repulsion. Our interest therefore did not focus so much on indi
 vidually identifiable charismatic figures or on a diffuse agency as the st
 arting point\, nor on their followers as identifiable recipients of attrac
 tive messages\, but instead on the religious intrinsic dynamics of these c
 ontinued processes of exchange\, which significantly determine the formati
 on and dissolution of religious networks of tradition. Particular topics o
 f discussion were the interplays which lead to the creation of religiously
  efficient material and thus to the formation of attractors\, and furtherm
 ore religious interactions from which various auratisations of bodies or o
 bjects emerge. These include religiously encoded elements which gain or lo
 se attractiveness due to shifts in power within the religious field\, and 
 which can transfer their charisma synchronically onto other elements (for 
 instance\, holy oil onto a religious symbol anointed with it) or diachroni
 cally restore it (for instance through the reinterpretation and incorporat
 ion of former places of worship). What was particularly instructive here w
 as the way in which the media work which not only accompany religious burs
 ts of attraction but also codetermine their direction and efficiency and w
 hich can act as transformers or generators within the inter and intra-reli
 gious communication processes. Beyond this\, the specific conditions and p
 ossibilities of religious attraction\, which  is perceived and conveyed a
 s individual experiences of transcendence\, were discussed in greater deta
 il\, for instance the suggestive power of alternative offers of salvation 
 in situations of religious competition or the forces of attraction which c
 an manifest themselves in the various forms of mysticism or mystical exper
 iences. It became clear that the various effects of linguistic\, visual\, 
 audio and performative media and their respective religious encoding play 
 a key role in the dynamics of the religious field.\n \nThe first section 
 entitled The Conceptualisation of Aura\, Charisma and Transcendence\, chai
 red by Gesche Linde (Frankfurt a.M.\, Germany)\, explored the terminologic
 al and conceptional environment of religious attraction and repulsion\, in
  particular in terms of its material and media context. At the heart of th
 e debate was the question of to what degree definitions of aura\, charisma
  and transcendence can contribute to  theoretical clarification\, above a
 ll of the relational aspects of intra and inter-religious dynamics.\nAt th
 e start of the section\, in a contribution entitled Sacrifice\, Martyrdom 
 and the 'Nachleben’ of Religion\, Martin Treml (Berlin\, Germany) highli
 ghted the aesthetic dimension\, which anticipates and refers back to relig
 ious practice\, and which also and especially becomes apparent in the “N
 achleben” of religious aura in the secular aura of works of art. The cul
 tural techniques described by Aby Warburg as “pathos formula”\, which 
 condense religious experience\, process it by forming and shaping it\, thu
 s enabling its transmission and possibly re-use in other religious or secu
 lar contexts\, seem to be of particular significance for religious dynamic
 s. Explicit reference was made to the significance of the – as yet insuf
 ficiently incorporated –  approaches from the early phase of the Warbur
 g school for religious research in general and specifically for the concep
 t of a relational form of research on religion.\nAs is well known\, the te
 rm “Nachleben” has proven extremely productive in the diachronic obser
 vation of ancient art history\, and indeed not just in terms of its many C
 hristian and later secular “renaissances”\, but also – as illustrate
 d in the lecture by Ioannis Mylonopoulos (New York\, USA) on The Beauty of
  Simple Things: Simplicity and the Visual Construction of the Divine in An
 cient Greece – for the Greek cult tradition itself. Starting from the st
 riking thesis - “In the beginning there was the image” – aniconic sc
 ulptures of early times\, colossal statues\, “classical” humanisations
  of idols and experimental and historicising tendencies of Hellenism were 
 used to describe different strategies of religious attraction through visu
 al constructions of the divine. The dichotomy developed by Mylonopoulos be
 tween two differently oriented charismatic interactions appeared to be par
 ticularly revealing in this context : between a communicative dynamic\, wh
 ich formed out of directly sensuous factors of attraction (through shaping
  the human body into beautiful forms) or out of decidedly simple\, archais
 ing forms (which thus suggest dignity).\nKnut Martin Stünkel (Bochum\, Ge
 rmany) then undertook the promising attempt in his lecture on Aura as Prop
 ensity. Towards a Non-Intentionalistic Description of Attraction to render
  the concept of religious attraction more concrete by converging Benjamin
 ’s theory of the aura and Popper’s “propensity” concept\, to then 
 go on to link both approaches to Bruno Latour’s blueprint of hybrid netw
 orks. The advantage of this initially surprising constellation is above al
 l that it can grasp phenomena of attraction in their specific dynamic betw
 een convergence and distance. Religious attraction would therefore not be 
 defined as a state or trait of an auratic cult object\, but rather as a co
 ntinued “unfolding”\, whose condensations appear neither predictable n
 or controllable\, and so cannot be explained by the intentions of the subj
 ects or collectives involved either.  Aura\, charismatics and religious m
 aterial thus are not in a causal but in a relational relationship which re
 sults from a sequence of processes of attraction and repulsion.\nThe gener
 al discussion highlighted once again that with regard to the communicative
  dynamism between statues of the gods and the community worshipping them\,
  especially from relational points of view\, it is virtually impossible to
  imagine a clear separation between cult and art objects. Furthermore the 
 point was made that it is necessary to take into account the relevance of 
 description or textualisation or even visualisation\, and consequently the
  translation into another medium as a factor of self-reflection and self-r
 eassurance of religious aura.\nPicking up on the initial deliberations on 
 terminological clarification\, the second section\, chaired by Arie L. Mol
 endijk (Groningen\, Netherlands) on Creating Typologies for Charisma and T
 ranscendental Experience aimed to differentiate more precisely between the
  different fields of forces in which aura\, charisma\, transcendence and t
 ranscendental experience can take on concrete form. Here the question was 
 also what significance the translation and communication of religious expe
 rience through media would have in a typology of religious and non-religio
 us attractors. Dimitri Drettas (Erlangen\, Germany) demonstrated in his co
 ntribution on Dream Divination and Dream Exorcism in Chinese Household Enc
 yclopedias the significance of soothsaying using the example of predictive
  techniques in China\, whilst showing how the interpretation of dreams and
  apotropaic means\, which have a long tradition in Daoism in warding off e
 vil spirits\, can converge. Dreams are understood in this context as a mul
 tifaceted interaction between various spirit beings\, ancestors\, diviniti
 es and demons which temporarily enter into an exciting dialogue with the d
 reamer\, which later is continued in the process of interpretation of drea
 ms. The experience of transcendence and the reflection of transcendence\, 
 as they manifest themselves in the corresponding books of dreams\, appear 
 in all of this as complementary factors of attraction which can both cance
 l out as well as intensify the dynamics of charisma and transcendental exp
 erience.\nNaomi-Feuchtwanger-Sarig’s contribution (Tel Aviv\, Israel) en
 titled Between Mundane\, Sanctified and Holy: Re-Defining Jewish Ritual an
 d Ceremonial Objects continued the discussion on a differentiation and pos
 sible typologisation of aura and charismatics with a series of specific ex
 amples from the Jewish tradition\, which – ranging from Dura Europos up 
 to the present – highlighted different ways of dealing with auratic obje
 cts or different purity rules and procedures to secure ritual status. Whil
 st on the one hand the speaker showed how the rules handed down from gener
 ation to generation\, for example on the production and inscription of Tor
 ah scrolls\, continue to be observed in the minutest of detail\, on the ot
 her hand she noted that from a Jewish point of view\, ceremonial objects\,
  cannot actually be rendered profane at all as their status is after all d
 efined by God’s word and thus their material aspects as well as their po
 ssibly being endangered are of secondary importance. With regard to inter-
 religious spheres of contact and conflict\, several notable cases of the c
 onversion of Jewish cult objects merited particular attention\, which – 
 in what circumstances it is unfortunately unclear – had been used in Chr
 istian liturgy.\nReal or virtual inter-religious conversions were also dis
 cussed in the next contribution by Sven Bretfeld (Bochum\, Germany). Under
  the heading of Materiality of Religion and the Aesthetic Dimensions of Or
 ientalism\, the speaker concentrated on two prominent examples of religiou
 sly loaded Orientalism from the 19th century. Starting with a precise des
 cription of Arthur Schopenhauer's study and the significant positioning of
  a Buddha statue\, first the oscillating powers of attraction and repulsio
 n of the then little-known Eastern religions on the atheist philosopher an
 d his theological opponents were discussed and then contrasted with the es
 oterically influenced convergence with Buddhism by the American attorney\,
  journalist and first president of the of the “Theosophical Society”\,
  Henry Steel Olcott\, half a century later\, who after his conversion wrot
 e an - in terms of intra-religious reception - rather controversial Buddhi
 st catechism according to Western criteria. In both cases\, the complement
 ary - and in itself certainly contradictory – relationship between exper
 ience of transcendence and transcendental reflection is a constitutive fac
 tor in inter-religious attraction.\nIn the general discussion on the secti
 on’s contributions there was an emphasis on the need to start less with 
 auratised objects or the people affected by them when creating a typologic
 al distinction and instead to focus on the processes of attribution\, the 
 forms of communication and the media involved in these.\n \nThe third sec
 tion Re-Constructing Auratic Material\, chaired by Marion Steinicke (Bochu
 m\, Germany)\, dealt with processes of loading with religious meaning\, re
 interpretation\, re-evaluation as well as the reclaiming of cult objects a
 nd sites\; at the fore was the search for specific processes which lead to
  the distinction between religious and secular material as well as the spe
 cial factors of attraction of religiously loaded material. The section ope
 ned with a lecture by Carmen Meinert (Essen/ Bochum\, Germany) Striving fo
 r Perfection in Central Asian Buddhism: Non-Conceptionality in Medieval Da
 oism on Dunhuang on the Silk Road\, once a prominent place of worship for 
 Buddhism and its intra-religious confrontations\, whose significance manif
 ests itself in its architectural and visual art design - particularly inte
 resting in terms of the media aspects of religious attraction – as well 
 as in extremely rich text production. The speaker concentrated on the idea
  of “non-conceptionality” which is constantly a central theme in the w
 ritings as a soteriologically decisive experience concept in Buddhism\, wh
 ich on the one hand (in the direction of Tibet) exerted a remarkable pull\
 , and on the other was received with remarkable indifference (in the direc
 tion of China). Especially against this – and not least also politically
  explosive – backdrop\, Dunhuang is a significant example of the interac
 tion of different attractors which condition the genesis\, condensation an
 d dissolution of a religious centre of gravity\, without – regardless of
  the various secondary modes of reception (interventions\, restrictions or
  attempts to control) – identifying primary intentional steering or orde
 ring structures.\nFollowing on from this\, in her contribution on Embodied
  Transcendence: Energetic and Physical Cultivation in Medieval Daoism Livi
 a Kohn (Boston\, USA) used an in-depth discussion of the Daoist concept of
  physicality to highlight that the “occidental concepts” of spirituali
 ty and materiality\, of immanence and transcendence (irrespective of their
  many differentiations\, especially in the context of religious and philos
 ophical debate) have always been the subject of controversial discussion w
 ith regard to Daoism. Although the terminology appears to be problematic\,
  in the Chinese context\, too\, there are traces of “notions of Western-
 style transcendence” to be found\, notably in the form of Dao as an othe
 rworldly god and creator. In “medieval Daoist culture” these different
  dimensions are activated through the medium of the body. The human body a
 s a mirror of the cosmos can thus be understood as a sacred topography wit
 hin which immanence and transcendence complete one another as part of a pr
 ocess and thus transform the human physis itself into a primary field of f
 orces of different religious factors of attraction and repulsion.\nIn the 
 following contribution on Recreating an Ancient Attraction: The Buddha’s
  Cave and the Sixteen Pilgrimage Sites in Sri Lanka\, Kevin Trainor (Burli
 ngton\, USA) used a specific case study to describe the restoration of los
 t\, forgotten or forsaken Buddhist holy relics in Sri Lanka and the attemp
 ts to revive past pilgrimage sites connected with this. The speaker analys
 ed a series of legitimisation strategies which intended to both legitimise
  and increase the concrete topography of the restored pilgrimage network a
 nd its religious attractiveness. This includes the supernatural manifestat
 ions transmitted in various ways and communicated through media which char
 acterise a specific cult site\, the corresponding legend literature which 
 tells of this and also the non man-made religious images belonging to a pa
 rticular cult site. Exhibitions of reproductions of such archaic or even o
 nly archaising visual works made it possible to authorise the respective l
 ocation of a restored holy site.\nIn contrast to this\, in Making Attracti
 ve what is Already Attractive: Roman Catholicism in Early Modern South Ind
 ia\, Between Missionary Accommodation and Grassroot Syncretism\, Paolo Ara
 nha (Florence\, Italy) investigated various Christian mission strategies i
 n the area of the Indian subcontinent\, notably in Goa. The missionary act
 ivities carried out by the Roman Church with significant involvement of th
 e Inquisition are characterised by three diverging\, and because of this v
 ery fact\, efficient trends\, which the speaker subsumed under the terms 
 “repression” (of existing ritual acts and destruction of places of wor
 ship)\, “adaption” (absorption of non-Christian religious customs\, fo
 rms of worship or festivals into Christian cult practices) and “attracti
 on” (specific coordination of Christian cult practices with indigenous t
 raditions). Of particular relevance in this context is the principle of 
 “accommodation”\, which proves to be a key attraction factor in the In
 dia mission – thus differing from the missionary endeavours in other par
 ts of the world. Here\, within the new Christian communities\, common ethi
 cal and social concepts – such as the caste system – are tolerated as 
 is the continuation of archaic ritual acts or their discrete integration i
 nto the Christian mass through inter-religious reinterpretation or convers
 ion. Furthermore\, the participation of non-Christians in Christian proces
 sions is allowed and membership of a community of worship is not determine
 d by a rigid inclusion and exclusion procedure.\nWith her paper on Creatin
 g Transcendental Feelings: Fantasies of the Milky Way in the Contemporary 
 Japanese Organization World Mate\, Inken Prohl then drew attention in the 
 final part of the section to the different conditions\, prerequisites and 
 specificities of “World Mate”\, a version of new religiosity in contem
 porary Japanese society\, whose “transcultural events”could raise impo
 rtant questions on the margins and interfaces of religious and secular att
 raction. The paper concentrated on the two-fold question of  “How peopl
 e are bound?“\, and “How people react?” In answer to this question\,
  numerous examples of cult objects were presented which\, according to cer
 tain concepts in the history of art\, would have come under the category c
 ommodity aesthetics and that the speaker herself dubbed “Walt-Disney-Sty
 le”. The “customer-orientation” of this community of worship was con
 sequently underlined\, which in an attempt to attract new members evidentl
 y makes use of tried and tested marketing strategies.\nThe lecture offered
  opportunity for terminological self-reflection in several respects. In th
 e section’s closing discussion\, on the one hand\, the difficulty of def
 ining “religious feelings” or religious experience without social or c
 ultural contextualisation was broached\, whilst\, on the other hand\, the 
 need to distinguish between the terms transcendent and transcendental espe
 cially from relational points of view was underlined.\n \nThe subjects of
  the fourth and final section Inter- and Intra-Religious Dynamics of Trans
 cendental Experience\, chaired by Heinz Georg Held (Pavia\, Italy)\, were 
 the processes of attraction and repulsion\, which\, on the one hand\, dete
 rmine the fascination of transcendence and\, on the other\, motivate the d
 iscursive reflection and media propagation of transcendental experience. U
 p for discussion first and foremost were the questions of the specific rol
 e of individual media as well as of the intrinsic dynamics of religiously 
 determined communication or its significance for the turbulences and emerg
 ences of the religious field. To start\, Christophe Nihan's contribution 
  (Lausanne\, Switzerland)\, entitled Qumran and the Dynamics of Religious 
 Attraction in the 2nd Temple Period\, described the intra-religious differ
 entiation process between “Tora” and “Temple” –  which - appare
 ntly paradoxically – contributed in reciprocally and also socially encod
 ed delimitation and exclusion towards an increasing auratisation of both i
 nstitutions and beyond that towards the establishment of a host of also po
 litically significant in-group practices. It is in specifically this field
  of conflict that the speaker sees the source of Jewish mysticism\, which 
 breaks through the clerical privilege of interpretation of the Torah and o
 ffers what is historically\, too\, a long-term “alternative attraction
 ” with the complementary phenomena of the individualisation of religious
  practice and the textualisation of religious experience characteristic of
  the Qumran. Nihan underlined the significance\, not just for the intra-re
 ligious development of Judaism\, but also from a comparative perspective\,
  of ritual and liturgy as key factors of attraction and also potentially o
 f repulsion.\nThe contribution by Ada Rapoport-Albert (London\, UK) 'Dropp
 ing out’ into Hasidism extended the line of tradition dealt with in time
  and space to the Hasidim movement\, which evidently in the present day in
  particular\, seems to be exerting special appeal. In this special manifes
 tation of Jewish mysticism\, which\, on the one hand\, unmistakably has me
 ssianic traits\, but\, on the other\, also shows inter-religious influence
 s\, for example\, from Sufism\, the omnipresence of God in nature or in th
 e material world is presupposed and thus themselves are given their own au
 ra and perceived as a spiritually fulfilled reality. The characteristics o
 f this movement\, which the speaker was able to illustrate through several
  striking examples\, include the mutual (and not\, as in comparable conste
 llations\, one-sided) attraction which must exist between a charismatic le
 adership figure and his or her pupils and followers. The relationships wit
 hin this intra-religious network therefore are determined through active a
 s well as reactive processes of convergence and also possibly of distancin
 g between individuals. In terms of cult practices\, too\, individualisatio
 n plays a key role as a factor of attraction.\nOn the basis of a concrete 
 case study - Connecting Transcendent Attraction and Attractive Objects: Th
 e Case of Elisabeth of Schönau - Anne Clark (Burlington\, USA) then moved
  on to the tradition of Christian mysticism\, which she above all discusse
 d from the point of view of its liturgical inclusion\, and thus in the med
 ia context. The visions of the Benedictine nun in the 12th century\, accor
 ding to her thesis\, cannot be understood without the direct link to ritua
 l practice\, in equal measure as material as well as a motive of mystic at
 traction. In addition to visualisation and textualisation\, the speaker po
 inted to the central role played by music in the meditation and ecstasy te
 chniques of mysticism. Overall\, according to the speaker\, in the Christi
 an tradition mystical experience was the highest and most extensive articu
 lation of religiosity and would thus represent a decisive factor of attrac
 tion within monastery life as the condition for making this transcendence 
 and transcendental experience possible.\nUnder the heading Enchanted by In
 tra’s Net: Some Random Reflections on Textual Images of Transcendence an
 d their Role in Religious Contacts Jörg Plassen (Bochum\, Germany) used t
 he example of the Avatamsaka sutra and its reception within various Buddhi
 st currents as well as the interpretation by Western philologists to inves
 tigate structural influences of visual language forms which relate to tran
 scendent spheres and which due to their special suggestiveness\, their aes
 thetic qualities or their illustrative power of persuasion exert a lasting
  attraction in intra and inter-religious contact. The speaker\, citing int
 er alia the work of Lakoff/ Johnson\, Blumenberg and Taureck \, explicitly
  emphasized the ambivalence of metaphors\, which in part can trigger very 
 different\, certainly opposite\, and thus even contradictory reception pro
 cesses by transferring religious ideas to other religious or secular areas
  or connecting with other religious or secular contents. With his fundamen
 tal deliberations on the status and meaning of rhetorical figures\, metaph
 orical language and metaphors\, Plassen drew our attention once again to s
 ignificant shortcomings in the differentiation of terms and the heuristic 
 evaluation of intra and inter-religious translation processes.\nThen\, fin
 ally\, the contribution by Christoph Auffarth (Bremen\, Germany) on Innerw
 ordly Transcendence as the Attractiveness of the – Material – World to
  Come: The Third Reich brought together some of the most important questio
 ns of the conference once again\, highlighting their complexity as well as
  their reach in terms of cultural history. At the same time\, the speaker 
 extended the largely historical thrust of the discussion into the 20th ce
 ntury\, not just to underline the current pertinence of the debate on “r
 eligious attraction” beyond the limits of the specifically religious fie
 ld\, but also to thereby explicitly take into account the decisive relatio
 nal aspect of the observer perspective. Using the example of the millenari
 an concept of the “Third Reich” and its terminological history\,  Auf
 farth demonstrated the intrinsic media dynamic of religious terminology\, 
 which due to its manifold semantic links has been subject to new or re-int
 erpretations. Evidently we are looking here at something more and differen
 t than intra-religious reception behaviour (as is shown for instance in th
 e adoption and interpretation of the concept by puritans\, radical pietist
 s\, adventists etc.). Auffarth focussed his talk on the multifaceted topic
  of the role and status of religious prophecies and their expected fulfilm
 ent within secularised societies\, such as in the “Sattelzeit” between
  1750 and 1850\, which transformed the religious concept of the thousand y
 ear kingdom of peace into a revolutionary utopia of the human race\, or in
  the first half of the 20th century that seized its for totally unholy pu
 rposes and ends\, and finally in the present\, which was able to integrate
  it into its political and military logic of confrontation.\nThe explanati
 on of this strange persistence of religiously loaded notions\, which– in
  particular through their intra and inter-religious migration potential 
 – become largely autonomous attractors and can gain new dynamism time an
 d again by being associated with current ideas\, is one of the key tasks i
 n a relational form of research on religion\, the specific objective of wh
 ich was made clear once again by Volkhard Krech (Bochum\, Germany) in his 
 closing summary and thematic situating of the different conference contrib
 utions. Krech underlined the consortium's research interest in the energet
 ic conditions of an inter and intra-religious power play\, which\, on the 
 one hand\, auratises ritual sites and objects\, attributes them religious 
 impact and increases their charismatics through discursive\, figurative an
 d performative forms of attraction\, and which\, on the other hand\, allow
 s individual and collective experiences of transcendence  to emerge befor
 e a religiously charged horizon of expectation and forms new religious net
 works through their media interdependence.

DESCRIPTION:Die Tagung stand in direktem Zusammenhang mit dem Forschungspr
 ojekt von L.-M. Günther im Rahmen des Themenfeldes I („Veränderungen i
 m westphönizischen ‚Pantheon’ unter dem Einfluss der Kulturkontakte m
 it Griechen und Etruskern  sowie der Vorherrschaft Karthagos <im 6.-4.Jh.
 >)“ und war bereits im entsprechenden Antrag 2007 vorgesehen.\nDie gewü
 nschten internationalen Beiträge ließen sich zum verfügbaren Termin (No
 vember 2010) leider nicht realisieren\, da die angefragten Spezialisten in
  Italien (S. Ribichini)\, Frankreich (C. Bonnet)\, Spanien () und Israel (
 I.Malkin) nicht verfügbar waren und mit großem Bedauern ein Kommen abgel
 ehnen mussten\; P. Bartoloni (Sassari) musste kurzfristig seine Teilnahme 
 absagen.\nDennoch ist es – nicht zuletzt auch mithilfe von Jun.-Prof. Dr
 . Bärbel Morstadt (Institut für Archäologische Wissenschaften der RUB) 
 – gelungen\, eine fachlich hochqualifizierte und interessante Tagungsgru
 ppe zusammenzustellen\, die entsprechend dem interdisziplinären Charakter
  der Thematik (vier) Althistoriker und (fünf) Archäologen umfasste.\nVom
  Mittwoch 10.11. 16 Uhr bis Freitag 12.11. 14 Uhr kamen vier Referentinnen
  (Grüner\, Günther\, Lee\, Morstadt) und fünf Referenten (Eingartner\, 
 Hülsken\, Lichtenberger\, Matthäus\, Zimmermann) zusammen\, von denen vi
 er aus dem Bundesgebiet anreisten (aus Augsburg\, Erlangen\, Heidelberg/M
 ünchen\, Münster). Von den neun Referenten sind jeweils drei ‚etablier
 te’ ältere Wissenschaftler (Eingartner\, Günther\, Matthäus)\, jünge
 re Hochschullehrer (Lichtenberger\, Morstadt\, Zimmermann) und Nachwuchswi
 ssenschaftler (Dr. des. Grüner\, cand. phil. Hülsken\, Lee B.A.). Erfreu
 licherweise konnte an der Tagung auch der frühere KHK-Fellow Dr. Paolo Fi
 ligheddu (Sassari/Tempio Pausania) teilnehmen und die Diskussionen mit sei
 nen stupenden philologisch-semitistischen Kenntnissen bereichern.\nFür Di
 skussionen standen nach jedem ca. 30-minütigem Vortrag 15 Minuten zur Ver
 fügung\, außerdem wurde die Tagung mit einer rund einstündigen Abschlus
 sdiskussion beendet.\nAn den Diskussionen beteiligte sich auch Personen au
 s dem Publikum\, die zumeist die Tagung durchgängig besucht haben\; einig
 e Kolleginnen und Kollegen konnten wegen ihrer parallelen Lehrverpflichtun
 gen nur teilweise beiwohnen\, u.a. der Mitveranstalter B. Linke.\nZwei Vor
 träge (Zimmermann am 10.11.\, Matthäus am 11.11.) fanden als deutlich l
 ängere ‚public lectures’ vor einem breiteren\, aber ebenfalls diskuss
 ionsfreudigen Publikum statt\, nämlich im Rahmen des zusammengelegten alt
 historischen Forschungskolloquium der beiden Veranstalter/Leiter bzw. im R
 ahmen des Forschungskolloquiums des Instituts für Archäologische Wissens
 chaften.\n \nIn ihrer kurzen Einführung thematisierte L.-M. Günther zun
 ächst das Spektrum der Auffassungen von ‚interpretationes’ in der For
 schung und verwies auf eine Tagung an der Universität Osnarbrück (7.-9. 
 September 2010)\, die sich der interpretatio romana bzw. indigena in den P
 rovinzen der römischen Kaiserzeit gewidmet hatte. Die dortigen Kollegen f
 assten den Begriff als „Mechanismus zur Über­windung kultureller Unter
 schiede in der Antike“ auf bzw. als „einen Prozess der Assoziation von
  indigenen (= nicht griechisch-römischen) Gottheiten mit solchen der grie
 chisch-römischen Kultur. Der dabei erhobene Vorwurf\, die bisherige Forsc
 hung habe sich vornehmlich darin erschöpft\, Listen der ‚indigenen’ u
 nd der entsprechenden griechisch-römischen Götternamen zusammenzustellen
 \, es aber versäumt\, die „tiefergreifenden Prozesse des Phänomens zu 
 thematisieren“\, kann so nicht akzeptiert werden: Die Archäologie\, Alt
 e Geschichte und Religionswissenschaft haben schon längst für den zeitli
 chen und geographischen Raum der altorientalisch/levantinischen und der gr
 iechischen Kulturkontakte erkannt\, dass es nicht um ein einfaches vokabel
 artiges Übersetzen religiöser Vorstellungen gegangen ist\, sondern um An
 verwandlungen\, modifizierende Übernahmen und Reinterpretationen! Im Verl
 auf unserer Tagung wurde dann mehrfach angesprochen und vertieft\, dass es
  evidenterweise einen wesentlichen Unterschied machte\, ob eine Hochkultur
  wie die römische auf indigene Kulte in den von Rom beherrschten und noch
  nicht hellenisierten bzw. erst rudimentär romanisierten ‚Provinzen’ 
 traf. Eine andere Facette von interpretatio ist dort zu beobachten wo\, wi
 e im Fall der Kultur- und Religionskontakte in der Levante vornehmlich in 
 der ersten Hälfte des 1. Jahrtausends\, eine physisch und geistig mobile 
 Gesellschaft sehr bereitwillig den sakralen wie profanen Phänomenen der v
 orderasiatischen Kulturen begegnete und sie zu adaptieren suchte. Das frü
 here Bild von einer grundsätzlichen Überlegenheit der Hellenen über die
  ‚Orientalen’ ist inzwischen in der Geschichtswissenschaft und der Arc
 häologie überwunden\; auch ist weitgehend akzeptiert\, dass weder ‚die
  Hellenen’ noch ‚die Orientalen’ bzw. ‚die Phönizier’ etc. jewe
 ils geschlossene und homogene ‚Blöcke’ bildeten\, die zudem auch noch
  grundsätzlich konfrontativ gewesen wären.\nBereits im ersten Vortrag de
 r Tagung zeigte Achim Lichtenberger (Archäologische Wisschenschaften der 
 RUB: „Interpretationes graecae-romanae im Vorderen Orient“)  anhand s
 einer Forschungen zur syrischen Dekapolis am Beispiel zweier Städte\, das
 s die Übernahme hellenistisch-römischer Bildsprache auf Münzen selbst i
 n der Kaiserzeit noch siegelt\, dass man um die Unzulänglichkeit wusste\,
  eine einheimische Gottheit (wie Ba’al) mit nur einer griechisch-römisc
 hen Gottheit (Dionysos/ Herakles) zu identifizieren. In einem zweiten Schr
 itt wies er anhand seiner aktuellen Forschungen exemplarisch nach\, dass i
 m nordafrikanischen Leptis Magna die vormals punischen Gottheiten und ihre
  ‚Übersetzungen’ in griechisch-römische nicht zwingend vermeintlich 
 ‚kanonischen’ Vorgaben folgen mussten\, sondern sich nichtkompatibler 
 Funktionen der jeweiligen Götter bewusst waren\, etwa indem eine Apollons
 tatue für den zu ehrenden ‚dionysischen’ Antinoos verwendet wurde.\nD
 urch den geographischen Bogen von Syrien nach Libyen hatte Lichtenberger d
 en folgenden Ausführungen von Johannes Eingartner (Archäologisches Insti
 tut der Universität Augsburg: „Römische Heiligtümer im vormals punisc
 hen Nordafrika)“ schon den Boden bereitet\, denn es war bereits die Frag
 e gestellt worden\, inwieweit im Zuge einer interpretatio der Gottheiten e
 benfalls die jeweiligen Rituale anverwandelt worden sein könnten. Eingart
 ner\, der auf eine rege Ausgrabungstätigkeit gerade in Tunesien und Libye
 n zurückblickt\, stellte vor\, wie Auskünfte über Kultvorgänge anhand 
 vornehmlich zweier architektonischer ‚Modelle’ von Heiligtümern im r
 ömischen Nordafrika gewonnen werden können\, nämlich zum einen anhand d
 es Podiumstempel in einem symmetrisch gestalteten Bezirk und zum anderen a
 nhand des sog. temple à cour. Dabei hat die bisherige Forschung die evide
 nterweise aus Italien übernommenen Podiumstempel für ebenso genuin römi
 sch gehalten wie die in ihnen verehrten Gottheiten\, während man für die
  andere architektonische Grundform des Heiligtums eine punische Tradition 
 postuliert hatte. Diese ‚Gewissheiten’ stellte Eingartner anhand zahlr
 eicher Beispiele in Frage und machte auf Wasserbecken im Kontext von ‚Po
 diumstempeln’ aufmerksam\, die auf nichtitalische Rituale verweisen kön
 nten. Zugleich lässt sich für Tempel des Saturn/Baal Hammon\, die vermei
 ntlich eine Kulttradition beweisen\, nur selten eine tatsächliche sakrale
  Kontinuität nachweisen\, vielfach ist der ‚Kulturbruch’ unzweifelhaf
 t.\nDer Abendvortrag  von Nikolaus Zimmermann (Seminar für Alte Geschich
 te der Universität Münster: „Hannibals Religion“) widmete sich erstm
 als einem historischen Thema und damit auch einer andersartigen Quellenpro
 blematik. Dabei wurde betont\, dass auch religiöse ‚Übersetzungen’ u
 nd Vereinnahmungen politisch\, propagandistisch und sogar militärtaktisch
  instrumentalisiert wurden. Livius\, der das Feindbild der Römer von Hann
 ibal als einem frevelhaften Menschen überliefert\, gibt indessen an zahlr
 eichen Stellen erkennen\, dass der karthagische Feldherr genauso wie alle 
 anderen Zeitgenossen die Götter ehrte\, Eide einhielt und um die emotiona
 len religiösen Bedürfnisse auch seiner Truppen wusste. Zimmermann ließ 
 aber offen\, inwieweit jüngere Thesen über eine gleichsam ‚moderne’ 
 Aufgeklärtheit Hannibals und seine Distanzierung von den orthodoxen Prakt
 iken der karthagisch-punischen Götterverehrung\, insbesondere der Mensche
 nopfer für Baal Hammon\, methodisch hinreichend begründet sind.    
                                      
                                      
                        \nIm ersten Vortrag am folge
 nden Donnerstag (11.11.) beschäftigte sich Cathrin Grüner (Staatliche Mu
 seen München: „Die Göttin auf dem Berg Eryx\, Astarte - Aphrodite - Ve
 nus“) mit einem ‚Klassiker’ der Interpretations-Thematik\, dem berü
 hmten westsizilischen Heiligtum\, in dessen Ruinen inzwischen eine Kapelle
  der ‚Madonna della Neve’ die Kulttradition ins Christliche fortsetzt.
  Hier wurde schon zu Beginn des 1. Jahrtausends eine indigene Gottheit (de
 r Elymer bzw. Sikaner) verehrt\, bevor die Phönizier bzw. Karthager seit 
 dem ca. 6. Jh. an der gleichen Stelle ihrer Astarte huldigten\, sodann die
  in der Region ebenfalls als Ansässige bezeugten Griechen der Göttin Aph
 rodite. Mit der römischen Eroberung der vormals karthagischen Provinz auf
  der Insel wurde das Heiligtum\, nunmehr unter römischer Verwaltung\, als
  dasjenige der Venus\, der Stammmutter des Gründungsheros Aineas\, verehr
 t. Alle genannten Götternamen (Astarte\, Aphrodite\, Venus) sind durch Sc
 hriftzeugnisse bestens bezeugt\, nur die indigene Gottheit bleibt namenlos
 .\nAuf den Vortrag folgte ein Besuch in den Kunstsammlungen der Ruhr-Unive
 rsität\, die in ihren diversen Exponaten der antiken Kunst von der zustä
 ndigen Kustodin Frau Dr. Cornelia Weber-Lehmann den Teilnehmer der Tagung 
 mit einer äußerst präsenten und intensiven Führung vorgestellt wurden.
                                      
                       \nNach der Mittagspause fokuss
 ierten zwei Vorträge auf den wohl bekanntesten Fall einer interpretatio z
 wischen Levante bzw. Phönizien und der griechischen Welt: Melqart-Herakle
 s. Das Referat von Bärbel Morstadt (Archäologische Wissenschaften der RU
 B: „Melqart-Herakles-Kulte im phönikisierten Zypern“) stellte in eine
 r materialreichen Präsentation die Kultkontakte zwischen der Levanteküst
 e und der Insel Zypern in den Mittelpunkt. Dabei wurde deutlich\, dass ent
 gegen der landläufigen Erwartung in Kition\, der wohl ältesten ‚Koloni
 e’ von Tyros\, ein Melqart-Kult zwar existent\, aber nicht dominant war.
  Die anderen Städte der Insel\, die stets eine ‚Drehscheibe’ des Güt
 er- und Ideenaustausches zwischen dem Vorderen Orient und der Ägäis gewe
 sen war\, kennen gleichfalls beide Gottheiten\, jedenfalls finden sich üb
 erall entsprechende bildliche Darstellungen\, zumal in der preziosen Klein
 kunst. Daniel Hülsken (Historisches Institut der RUB/ KHK): „Von Melqar
 t bis Hercules Gaditanus: Reinterpretation eines westphönikischen Kultes 
 in Südiberien“) führte an das westliche Ende des Mittelmeerbeckens\, g
 leichsam über die ‚Säulen des Herakles’ hinaus. Dabei ging es um zwe
 ierlei: erstens um den Schritt der Phönizier\, die eine anikonische Vereh
 rung des Melqart (und dafür eine solche in Gestalt von ‚Stelen’ = Bai
 tyloi) kannten\, hin zu einer anthropomorphen Darstellung in griechischer 
 Bildsprache\, also mit Löwenfell und Keule bzw. Bogen\; zweitens um die D
 iskussion einer Adaption phönizischer Gottheiten bei den Indigenen\, die 
 der Referent sehr deutlich in Frage stellte. Ähnlich wie schon die Götti
 n von Eryx machte auch der einstmals ‚punische’ Gott von Gades unter d
 er römischen Herrschaft über ‚sein’ Gebiet Karriere\, was Hülsken g
 leichfalls noch kursorisch thematisierte.               \nD
 er Abendvortrag von Hartmut Matthäus (Archäologisches Institut der Unive
 rsität Erlangen: „Mythische Paradigmata und Identitätsstiftung – Wir
 kungen des Orientalisierungsprozesses“)\, mit dem zugleich der neue Hör
 saal des Instituts für Archäologische Wissenschaften eingeweiht wurde\, 
 spannte einen imposanten weiten Bogen von den mesopotamisch-assyrischen Ar
 tefakten zu solchen der mediterranen archaischen Kultur der hellenischen S
 taatenwelt. Der als Spezialist für die phönizische und vorderasiatische 
 Archäologie renommierte Referent verfolgte am Beispiel der Darstellungen 
 dreier ‚Leitikonographien’ – nämlich der ‚nackten Göttin’\, de
 s Kampfes eines Heroen mit dem Löwen\, der Überwindung eines schlangenar
 tigen Ungeheuers mit einem Kopf oder mehreren Köpfen – die allmähliche
  Ausbreitung der Sujets samt deren zu beobachtenden ikonographischen Varia
 nten. Dabei wurde augenfällig\, dass nicht jedes einer interpretatio unte
 rworfene Motiv denselbe Verbreitungsweg nahm\, wenngleich die Levante und 
 Zypern stets herausragten\; auffälligerweise blieb zumeist die westkleina
 siatische Küstenzone außerhalb der entscheidenden Vermittlungszonen.  
               \nIn der letzten ‚Sektion’ der Konferenz a
 m Freitag (12.11.) gab es zwei althistorische Referate\, bei denen dezidie
 rter als zuvor die einstige Großmacht Karthago die entscheidende Rolle sp
 ielte\, wenngleich es nicht um politische Geschichte ging\, sondern vor al
 lem um Methodisches. Im ersten Vortrag des Morgens wandte sich Linda-Marie
  Günther (Historisches Institut der RUB: „Pferd und Quadriga auf sikulo
 punischen Münzen - griechische oder punische Symbolik?“) der Münzpräg
 ung als einem relevanten\, da zeitgenössischen Quellenmaterial zu und int
 erpretierte das in der sikulopunischen Ikonographie von den Griechen Sizil
 iens übernommene Motiv der siegreichen bzw. von Nike bekränzten Quadriga
  als Symbol für den Himmelsgott Ba’al respektive Zeus Olympios. Dies st
 ellt einen Bezug zum nachgerade typischen karthagisch-sikulopunischen Mün
 zbildmotiv\, dem einzelnen Pferd (oder Pferdekopf) her\, das in der Forsch
 ung längst als Symbol des Ba’al gelesen wird. Diskutiert wurde daraufhi
 n\, inwieweit Münzikonographie generell offen für ‚interpretationes’
  ist oder inwieweit gerade in Sizilien als einem charakteristischen ‚Mid
 dle-ground’ diese Offenheit der Verständnisangleichung besonders günst
 ige Rahmenbedingungen findet.\nDen Abschluss bildete Yu-Jin Lee (Historisc
 hes Institut der RUB: „Die Götter im Vertrag zwischen Hannibal und Phil
 ipp V.“) mit einem Referat\, das wieder an den Anfang der Tagung\, näml
 ich die methodischen Ausführungen Lichtenbergers über die Problematik vo
 n interpretatio führte. Die Referentin stellte die Forschungsdiskussion d
 ar\, die seit mehreren Generation der bei Polybios (9\,7) überlieferte Ve
 rtragstext des Jahres 216/5 v. Chr. generiert hat. Da der Geschichtsschrei
 ber des 2. Jh.v. Chr. explizit den Wortlaut wiederzugeben behauptet und au
 ch der philologische Nachweis geführt worden\, dass dem griechischen Text
  eine punische Version zugrunde gelegen haben muss\, wurden die in der ein
 leitenden Schwurformel namentlich aufgeführten neun Gottheiten (u.a. Zeus
 \, Hera\, Herakles\, Ares\, Triton\, Poseidon) stets als die griechischen 
 Pendants zu den punisch-karthagischer Götter und Göttinnen aufgefasst\, 
 die es nun zu eruieren gelte. Die zahlreichen Vorschläge für ein gleichs
 am religiöses ‚Vokabular’\, also die Benennung jener neun phönizisch
 -karthagischer Gottheiten\, sind bis auf die Gleichung Herakles = Melqart 
 widersprüchlich\, weil\, wie die Referentin eindrücklich zeigte\, die Ar
 gumente nicht nur aus den sehr problematischen Prämissen über die fortge
 setzte Existenz alt-levantinischer Gottheiten im hellenistischen Karthago 
 gewonnen werden\, sondern auch aus den in sich unklaren und voraussetzungs
 reichen phönizischen Schriftquellen\, oftmals bilinguen Inschriften mit o
 nomastischen Indizien. Somit ist kaum eine Argumentation für die ‚inter
 pretatio’ dieser ‚Schwurgottheiten’ zwingend\, hier liegt tatsächli
 ch eine noch zu überwindende ‚Auflistungsmentalität’ in der einschl
 ägigen Forschung vor.                \nDie Abschlussdisku
 ssion konnte sich somit gleichsam nahtlos anschließen\; in ihr wurden noc
 hmals grundlegende Positionen gesammelt und mit der eingangs zitierten Def
 inition der Osnarbrücker Tagung zu einer sehr ähnlichen Thematik verglic
 hen. Es ließ sich ein gewisser Konsens darüber herstellen\, dass interpr
 etatio nicht dezidiert empfundene kulturelle Unterschiede überwindet\, so
 ndern sich eher mühelos vor allem dort vollzieht\, wo ein großer gemeins
 amer Nenner bei den Gottheiten der jeweiligen Seiten wahrgenommen wird\, a
 llem Anschein nach hinsichtlich der Funktionen dieser Gottheiten und auf d
 em Hintergrund sehr konkreter religiöser Bedürfnisse derjenigen Personen
 \, die in fremdem Gebiet den Gottheiten mit einem ihnen zunächst fremden 
 Namen begegnen. Diskutiert wurde\, inwieweit die Träger dieser Kommunikat
 ion ‚zwischen Asien und Europa’ Händler\, Migranten oder wandernde Sp
 ezialisten (bis hin zum Kriegshandwerker) waren bzw. inwieweit die Grieche
 n die neue Kultur zu sich holten oder sie zu ihnen gebracht wurde\, doch g
 ab es dazu kein abschließendes Ergebnis. Einigkeit bestand aber darüber\
 , dass sich das Phänomen der interpretatio romana in einem etwas anderen\
 , letztlich leichter zu identifizierenden Rahmen abgespielt haben dürfte 
 und hier die ‚Selbstromanisierung’ einen höheren Stellenwert gehabt h
 aben dürfte als eine ‚Selbsthellenisierung’ etwa der Phönizier/Punie
 r oder als eine ‚Selbstpunisierung’ von Hellenen in der Levante oder i
 m westlichen Mittelmeerraum.           \nEine Drucklegung der T
 agungsbeiträge* wird erwogen\, wobei die einzelnen Referenten gebeten wor
 den sind\, in ihrer Verschriftlichung dezidiert zum jeweiligen Verständni
 s von ‚interpretatio’ explizite Aussagen zu treffen.\n*Herausgeberinne

DESCRIPTION:Die religions- und kulturwissenschaftliche Diskussion widmet  
 schon seit längerem dem Bereich der Ästhetik besondere Aufmerksamkeit. I
 n der  Ritualforschung werden einerseits die verschiedenen Wort- Bild- und
  Klangmedien\,  die in rituellen Handlungen zur Aufführung kommen\, auf i
 hre spezifischen  Bedeutungsfunktionen untersucht. Andererseits dienen Abb
 ildungen oder  Beschreibungen häufig als wichtiges Quellenmaterial zur Re
 konstruktion ritueller  Praxis ebenso wie zur Bewertung von Rezeptions- un
 d Übertragungsvorgängen.  Darüber hinaus wird gerade in der Ritualforsc
 hung\, namentlich in der Ethnologie\,  der Einsatz von Aufzeichnungs- und 
 Reproduktionsmedien nicht zuletzt deshalb  methodologisch kontrovers disku
 tiert\, da ihnen unterstellt wird\, Phänomene  religiös-ästhetischer Er
 fahrung zu nivellieren. Auch über den engeren Kontext  der Ritualforschun
 g hinaus hat die grundsätzliche Bewertung der medialen  Eigendynamik sowo
 hl innerhalb einer Kulturgemeinschaft als auch im  interkulturellen und in
 terreligiösen Transfer maßgebliche Bedeutung gewonnen.  Umstritten und d
 aher von primärem Interesse ist die heuristische Gewichtung von  einersei
 ts ästhetischer (akustischer\, visueller und performativer) Gestaltung  u
 nd den traditionell zumeist höher bewerteten Textkorpora andererseits. In
  der  springschool sollen methodische Ansätze unterschiedlicher Disziplin
 en\,  namentlich der Religions-\, Geschichts- und Kunstwissenschaften\, vo
 rgestellt\,  verglichen und mögliche Anwendungen auch in anderen Forschun
 gskontexten  diskutiert werden. \nDie diesjährige springschool wird die 
 Diskussion ihrer  Vorgängerin „Geschichte der Ritualforschung“ aufgre
 ifen und fortsetzen. Neben  den von Dozenten geleiteten Seminaren sind Kur
 zreferate vorgesehen\, in denen die  Teilnehmer eigene Arbeitsprojekte vor
 stellen können. Thematische Schwerpunkte  sind die Geschichte der Medienw
 issenschaft und der Ästhetik im Kontext der  Ritualwissenschaft sowie die
  Erforschung ritueller Performanz und  ritualästhetischer Transfers\; auc
 h grundsätzliche methodologische Fragen sollen  dabei zur Sprache kommen.
  Wie im Vorjahr werden wissenschaftsgeschichtliche  Reflexionen mit der Ve
 rmittlung und Analyse aktueller Forschungsergebnisse  verknüpft. Es ist g
 eplant\, die Beiträge dieser und der vorangegangenen  springschool in ein
 em Sammelband 2010 zu publizieren.\nDie Veranstaltung richtet sich an Grad
 uierte und Studierende  der Masterphase. Die Kosten für Übernachtung und
  Vollpension betragen € 480\,-\;  Kursgebühren werden nicht erhoben.

DESCRIPTION:Zu den Grundvoraussetzungen der Expansion von Religionen gehö
 rt die Produktion von Übersetzungen der Heiligen Schriften in die Sprache
 (n) der neu gewonnenen Gebiete\, was sich selbst dann als unvermeidbar erw
 eist\, wenn sich eine Übersetzung aufgrund der (auch sprachlichen) Einmal
 igkeit der religiösen Offenbarungsschrift – wie beim Koran – eigentli
 ch verbietet\; andererseits haben auch Angehörige anderer Religionen ihre
 rseits oft ein Interesse an Übersetzungen\, um eine intellektuelle Ausein
 andersetzung führen zu können.\nIn dem Workshop geht es um Übersetzunge
 n\, die nicht primär von islamischer Seite initiiert wurden (etwa ins Per
 sische\, Türkische oder Urdu)\, sondern um solche\, die von nichtmuslimis
 chen Gelehrten verfasst oder angeregt wurden\, um eine interreligiöse Dis
 kussion zu ermöglichen: Neben Übersetzungen ins Lateinische und Griechis
 che spielen hier die ersten Übersetzungen in die europäischen Volkssprac
 hen (Italienisch 1547\, Spanisch 1606\, Deutsch 1616\, Niederländisch 164
 1\, Französisch 1647\, Englisch 1648 etc.) eine wichtige Rolle. Komplemen
 tär bzw. kontrastiv sind Koranübersetzungen in ost- und südostasiatisch
 e Sprachen interessant\, die freilich erstmals im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert 
 gedruckt wurden.\nDer 1. Teil des Workshops umfasste fünf Vorträge: Hart
 mut Bobzin (Erlangen) ging in seinem Einführungsreferat der Frage nach 
 „Was heißt es\, den Koran zu übersetzen?“ und gab einen Überblick 
 über die Geschichte der Koranübersetzung und –erklärung\, in dem sowo
 hl grundsätzliche Fragen der Übersetzbarkeit als auch praktische Beispie
 le aus der Übersetzungsarbeit angeführt wurden (Bobzins eigene neue Kora
 nübersetzung ins Deutsche war wenige Tage zuvor erschienen). – Reinhold
  Glei (Bochum) behandelte in seinem Vortrag „Der Mistkäfer und andere M
 issverständnisse“ die frühbyzantinische Koranübersetzung (zwischen 75
 0 und 850 n.Chr.) als die älteste in eine westliche Sprache überhaupt. I
 hre Existenz kann mittlerweile als gesichert gelten\, leider sind aber ver
 gleichsweise wenig Fragmente\, dazu noch häufig in entstellter Form\, erh
 alten. An zahlreichen Beispielen wurde gezeigt\, welche Rolle gerade sprac
 hliche Missverständnisse in der Entstehung der byzantinischen Islampolemi
 k gespielt haben. – Matthias Tischler (Dresden) sprach über „Die ält
 este lateinische Koranübersetzung als (inter)religiöser Begegnungsraum
 “ und ordnete die Übersetzung des Robert von Ketton (1142/43) in ihren 
 zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext ein\; anschließend zeichnete er die Rezeption
 sgeschichte dieser Übersetzung nach\, die zunächst fast in Vergessenheit
  geriet und erst im späten 13. Jahrhundert im Kontext der Dominikanermiss
 ionen (Ricoldo) wieder auftauchte. – Die volkssprachliche Rezeption beha
 ndelte Benedikt Jeßing (Bochum) anhand der (ihrerseits aus dem Italienisc
 hen angefertigten) deutschen Übersetzung des Salomon Schweigger (1551-162
 2) unter dem Thema „Orientwahrnehmung\, Interkulturalität und Koranübe
 rsetzung“\, vor allem auf dem Hintergrund von Schweiggers ausführlicher
  Beschreibung seiner Gesandtschaftsreise nach Konstantinopel und Jerusalem
 (gedruckt Nürnberg 1608). – Die ostasiatische Seite vertrat Hans Martin
  Krämer (Bochum) mit seinem Vortrag über „Rezeption des Islam und Übe
 rsetzungen des Korans in Japan im 20. Jahrhundert“\, in dem er die sechs
 \, von 1920-1973 entstandenen japanischen Koranübersetzungen vorstellte u
 nd eingehend charakterisierte. Am Beispiel der Übersetzung religiöser Be
 griffe wurde deutlich\, wie stark die Übersetzer entweder auf eine Interp
 retatio Christiana oder auf eine Interpretatio Buddhistica islamischer Vor
 stellungen zurückgriffen.\nDer Workshop wird mit Referaten zu weiteren Ko
 ranübersetzungen (ins Lateinische\, Aljamiado bzw. Altspanische\, Hebräi
 sche\, Französische und slavische Sprachen) fortgesetzt (Termin: 8. April
  2011). Die Ergebnisse sollen als Sammelband in der Reihe „Bochumer Alte
 rtumswissenschaftliches Colloquium“ publiziert werden.

DESCRIPTION:Die Konzeption dieser Tagung hat sich aus der Anregung der IKG
 F=KHK-Veranstaltungen zum Themenbereich ‚Attraktivität’ entwickelt\, 
 und zwar in gemeinsamen Überlegungen mit Dr. Christoph Michels\, dem dama
 ligen postdoc-Mitarbeiter im IKGF (inzwischen Aachen). Es sollte – ander
 s als bei den anderen workshops zur ‚Attractivity’ – dezidiert der F
 okus ganz auf einen einzigen geographischen und zugleich chronologischen R
 aum gerichtet werden\, nämlich auf das archaische Kleinasien als eine zen
 trale kulturelle Kontaktzone. Ein interdisziplinärer Zugriff ist auch hie
 r unerlässlich\, es wurde durch die Beteiligung von Sprachwissenschaftler
 n (Semitistik\, Anatolistik)\, Klassischen Archäologen und (Alt)historike
 rn eine glückliche Mischung erreicht.\nDas Programm war in drei Abteilung
 en gegliedert\, in denen zunächst „Paian und Prozession“\, dann „Fe
 ste und Gelage“ und schließlich „Heiligtum und Opfergaben“ thematis
 iert und diskutiert wurden. Die beiden ersten Abschnitte fanden am Donners
 tag\, 10.12.09 statt\, die Sektion  „Heiligtum und Opfergaben“ füllt
 e den Vormittag des folgendenTages (Freitag\, 11.12.09).\nDer für ein Ref
 erat über „Hymnen\, Paiane\, Prosodien. Anmerkungen zu einer Typologie 
 von Kultliedern im Kult des Apollon und verwandter Götter“ vorgesehene 
 Referent\, Prof. Dr. Lutz Käppel aus Kiel\, musste bedauerlicherweise kur
 zfristig absagen\, so dass sich die beiden ersten Vorträge des workshops 
 vornehmlich mit Prozessionen beschäftigten: Frau Privatdozentin Dr. Eftyc
 hia Stavrianopoulou aus Heidelberg\, Forscherin im dortigen Exzellenzclust
 er zu Ritualen\, spannte in ihrem Referat „Zur rituellen Funktion von Pr
 ozessionen“ einen weiten Bogen über die archaische bis zur hellenistisc
 hen Zeit\, in welcher die Quellenzeugnisse\, insbesondere die epigraphisch
 en\, reichlicher sprudeln als für die Frühzeit\; auch griff die Referent
 in Beispiele aus dem griechischen Mutterland zum Vergleich mit den kleinas
 iatischen Gegebenheiten auf.\nDagegen bot Linda-Marie Günther (RUB) mit d
 em „‚Stadtfest’ des Thrasybulos“ ein einziges Fallbeispiel aus dem
  ionischen Milet\, für das es nur einen kurzen und zum Teil unklaren lite
 rarischen Bericht bei Herodot gibt\; sie zeigte indessen auf\, dass das ge
 schilderte Gelage auf dem Marktplatz bei Milet\, das der Tyrann um 600 v. 
 Chr. zur Beeindruckung lydischer  Gesandter veranstaltete\, von zwei Proz
 essionen umrahmt wurde und dass es sich um ein übliches Jahresfest gehand
 elt haben muss.\nDie folgende Sektion zu „Feste und Gelage“ wurde mit 
 drei Referaten ausgestaltet\, beginnend mit einer kulturgeschichtliche spa
 nnenden Darstellung der „Gelagekultur und ihre orientalisierende Element
 e“ bei den Lydern von Prof. Dr. Erich Kistler\, damaliger Lehrstuhl-inha
 ber für Klassische Archäologie in Bochum. Er skizzierte die spezifischen
  Formen des lydischen Gastmähler und die typische Bekleidung der vornehme
 n ‚Trinker’\, aufgrund derer in der griechischen Nachbarschaft\, auch 
 noch in späterer Zeit\, die Lyder für sprichwörtlich dem Luxus ergeben 
 und total verweichlicht bewertet wurden.\nWie um 700 die einheimischen Kar
 er feierten\, konnte der Bochumer Archäologe Prof. Dr. Hans Lohmann anhan
 d seiner neuesten Grabungsfunde in Melie im Mykalegebirge zeigen:\n„Der 
 Festraum im Kultbau von Melie“ bietet ein frühes und instruktives Beisp
 iel für Bankettarchitektur respektive Tempelarchitektur. Mit Gefäßen\, 
 wie sie bei Banketten benötigt wurden\, beschäftigte sich Frau cand.phil
  Katja Burgemeister (Bochum) aus dem Kontext ihres Dissertationsprojekts 
 über Weinproduktion und Weinhandel: Unter dem Titel „Chiische Chalikes:
  Wein und Ritual“ behandelte sie einen charakteristisches Trinkgefäß a
 us Chios\, der vor der kleinasiatischen Küste liegenden ionischen Insel\,
  die für ihren exzellenten Wein seit archaischer Zeit weithin bekannt war
 . Chalikes wie auch sonst Trinkgefäße gehörten stets zu Weihgaben in He
 iligtümern\, so dass dieses Referat bereits zum Thema der umfangreichen S
 ektion am Folgetag überleitete.\nAm Freitag früh präsentierte zunächst
  der KHK-Fellow Dr. Paolo Filigheddu (Sassari) ein Referat\, das mit seine
 r aktuellen Forschungsarbeit zu Astarte bekannt machte: „Tempel-prostitu
 tion in Heiligtümern der Astarte“. Ausgangspunkt war die Überlegung\, 
 inwiefern die ‚Hierodulen’ mit ihren Liebesdiensten der Göttin eine O
 pfergabe darbrachten bzw. inwiefern die Besucher solcher Heiligtümer als 
 ‚Kunden’ der sog. Tempelprostituierten mit ihrer Bezahlung die Opferbr
 inger waren. Anhand einer minutiösen philologischen Darlegung zeigte der 
 renommierte Semitist\, dass die bisherigen Quellenzeugnisse und unser Vers
 tändnis der einschlägigen Texte insbesondere für das Astarte/Aphrodite-
 Heiligtum in Paphos nicht hinreichen\, eine ‚Tempelprostitution’ zu re
 konstruieren.\nNoch tiefer in den Bereich der orientalischen Götter und i
 hrer Verehrung führte anschließend Dr. Francis Breyer (Basel/Berlin) ein
 \, indem er „Hethitisch-agäische Götter und Kultur-kontakte“ skizzie
 rte und damit Kleinasien über Nordostanatolien hinaus als Kontakt- und Tr
 ansferzone analysierte.\nMit den Beziehungen nichtgriechischer Dedikanten 
 in archaischen Heiligtümern in Ionien schäftigten sich die beiden abschl
 ießenden Vorträge\, wobei Frau Prof. Dr. Helga Bumke (Bonn\, inzwischen 
 Bochum) als Beispiel ihrer detaillierten Vorstellung „Fremde(r) Votive o
 der fremde(r) Dedikanten in Ionischen Heiligtümern“ vornehmlich das Her
 aheiligtum auf der Insel Samos wählte\, Dr. Christoph Michels (Aachen) be
 schäftigte sich dagegen in erster Linie mit dem Apollonheiligtum zu Didym
 a\, das von den Lyderkönigen\, namentlich Kroisos\, reich bedacht worden 
 war. Hierzu berichten die antiken Quellen eindeutig\, wer Geber und was di
 e Gaben waren\, während Frau Bumke ihren Beitrag sehr zu Recht mit einem 
 Fragezeichen versehen hatte\, denn es bleibt anhand der ‚exotischen’ V
 otive in jedem Einzelfall neu zu überlegen\, ob die Dedikanten Fremde ode
 r Griechen waren\, die wertvolle Gaben aus dem fernen Ägypten der Hera zu
  Samos weihten.\nEine lebhafte Abschlussdiskussion beendet die Tagung\, ei
 ne Publikation der meisten Beiträge (außer denjenigen von Herrn Käppel 
 und Frau Stavrianopoulou) ist im Verlag Harrassowitz (Wiesbaden) in Vorber
 eitung und soll noch im Laufe des Jahres 2011 realisiert werden.
