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.
