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.
