DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Prof. Dr. Judith Visser (RUB)\n\n"Kyme mogen 
 - Sumak kawsay - Laman laka: Challenges of Metaphor Analysis in Indigenous
  Cosmovisions of the Andes"\n\nThe conquest of Latin America by the Spanis
 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
 al systems and religions. At the same time\, awareness of the negative con
 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?
