 _____________________________\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.
