DHd AG Multilingual DH

Wir haben das Treffen der AG #MultilingualDH übrigens ausgelagert: Hoffend, dass die MV nicht überzieht, treffen wir uns um 19:00 bei Naane in Bielefeld City. Wer Lust hat, sich mit uns auszutauschen, Kekse, Bier oder Hafermilch zu konsumieren, oder einfach das Bielefelder Nochnichtsoganznachtleben kennenzulernen, kann gern dazustoßen. Wir haben bestimmt auch ne Reisegruppe nach der MV beim AG-Poster zwischen C und D (glaub ich). #DHd2025

Today in #MultilingualDH failures: trying to submit a preprint to #arXiv. Somehow (well, we do know how), the platform is stuck in an anglophone hegemony of the 1980s: Insistence on the original TeX, no #unicode support and TeX character encoding for everything beyond plain #ASCII. And, of course, one has to debug and re-upload the TeX source for every single non-ASCII character their TeX engine stumbles upon. What a waste of my time and computing power

sfb1475.ruhr-uni-bochum.deInternational Conference on "Metaphors of Religion" October 27–29, 2025 | Ruhr University Bochum, GermanyThe Collaborative Research Center 1475 (CRC 1475) at Ruhr University Bochum invites submissions for its International Conference on “Metaphors of Religion: Comparative Perspectives, Theoretical Potential, and Methodic Innovation”, to be held October 27–29th, 2025. This interdisciplinary conference will explore the critical role of metaphors in shaping religious meaning across traditions, texts, and contexts. With contributions from diverse disciplines, the event aims to foster innovative discussions on how metaphors function as foundational elements in religious language. Keynote Speakers Eve Sweetser (University of California, Berkeley) Gerard Steen (University of Amsterdam) Key Topics and Questions We welcome submissions on themes that engage with, but are not limited to, the following topics: Religious Metaphor and Meaning-Making: What role do metaphors play in the emergence of religious language? How is metaphor connected to notions such as ‘holy languages?’ Comparative Metaphor Studies: How do different religious traditions (e.g., Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Islam, Zoroastrianism) utilize similar or divergent metaphors to address themes of salvation, conduct of life, or imaginaries of the divine? For example, to what extent do we find metaphors of Light, Way, or the Human Body across different traditions? Cognitive (and) Linguistic Approaches to Religious Metaphor: How do cognitive linguistic theories of metaphor (e.g., mapping and blending theories) illuminate the unique challenges of religious language? Historical and Cultural Shifts in Religious Metaphors: What historical and, in particular, interreligious factors shape the development and transformation of specific religious metaphors? How do metaphors adapt or reconfigure in response to cross-cultural encounters? Digital and Computational Approaches to Metaphor Analysis: Which new methods can be employed to analyze religious metaphors at scale, particularly across languages and cultures? How can digital humanities tools enhance our understanding of metaphor in religious contexts? Materiality and Visuality in Metaphors: How do metaphors extend beyond language to religious artifacts, images, and other media? What are the methodological challenges in analyzing metaphors in non-verbal religious contexts? Submission Guidelines We invite contributions across a range of disciplines including religious studies, linguistics, area studies, philologies, sociology, anthropology, digital humanities, and beyond, to engage in a comprehensive dialogue on the role and impact of metaphor in religion. We invite proposals for the following formats: Individual Papers: Please submit a 300–400-word abstract detailing your research question, methodology, and anticipated findings. Panels: Organized panels with 3–4 presentations centered on a cohesive theme. Panel proposals should include an overview (300 words) and abstracts for each paper (300–400 words). Roundtable Discussions: Proposals for roundtable sessions should outline the central theme, key questions, and expected contributions (300–400 words). Submit your Proposal Submissions are due 28 February 2025, and should include: Title of the paper, panel, or roundtable discussion Author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information Abstracts (300-400 words as specified above) Send your submissions to: sfb1475-coordination@rub.de For the full Call for Papers, download the PDF here: https://static.ceres.rub.de/media/filer_public/6e/9a/6e9a8d30-9e9f-47bd-b4f7-59cae5e57ff6/cfp_conference_metaphors_of_religion_2025.pdf
