DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Neda Mohtashami: Conceptual Metaphor in the Zoroast
 rian Young Avestan Corpus: A Preliminary Study\n\nHybrid Event\n\nEschato
 logical ideas in Zoroastrianism are not evenly spread over the three mille
 nnia of its emergence and evolution. While later Middle Persian literature
  evidences a fully developed picture of both individual and collective esc
 hatologies\, the journey of the soul after death receives comparatively li
 ttle treatment in the Young Avestan corpus and a minimum\, if any\, in the
  oldest layer of Zoroastrian literature\, the Gathas. This presentation ai
 ms to discuss some of the issues confronting Avestan scholarship regarding
  the question of eschatology and its development. For this purpose\, the Y
 oung Avestan adjectival phrase anaγra- təmah-\, lit. ‘beginningless da
 rkness’ is chosen as case study. It will be shown how the problem of tra
 nslation imposes confusion in the determination of the target domain\, and
  the extent to which our understanding of the possible connotation of this
  term is influenced by the limited occurrences of the concept of darkness 
 (təmah-) in the Old and Young Avesta.
