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).\
