#metaphorsofreligion — Public Fediverse posts

For the next two days, Mark Turner is visiting @sfb1475 for a rich program discussing overlaps between Blending Theory and our work on Metaphors of Religion. https://sfb1475.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/en/event/conceptual-blending-across-cultures-texts-08-2026/ I’m excited about this opportunity to touch base with one of the leading figures in the field. #Metaphor #MetaphorsOfReligion #BlendingTheory

Just published: A volume on “Professions as Religious Metaphors” in our @sfb1475 Metaphor Papers series that I had the pleasure to edit. It’s a nice collection of short case studies on a wide arrange of professions that are used as metaphors of the divine. (My internal working title for it was “God’s jobs” 😉.) https://doi.org/10.46586/mp.434 #Metaphor #MetaphorsOfReligion #ReligiousStudies

This week was packed with #metaphor related events. Three days of the #MetaphorsOfReligion conference of @sfb1475, then two very promising meetings with other metaphor projects – #CRC1646 and #MetaNet – about future collaboration, and finally the initial publication of our dataset of metaphor annotations: https://doi.org/10.60517/tt44pq55t 🥳

This morning, the #MetaphorsOfReligion conference starts with the panel on “Digital and Computational Approaches to Metaphor Analysis,” including our own presentation “Religious Metaphors at Scale.” I am looking forward to the discussion!

Now: invited talk by Eve Sweetser 🤩 #metaphorsOfReligion @sfb1475

Just starting: The conference #MetaphorsOfReligion, marking the highlight of the first phase of @sfb1475. I look forward to the next three days, including the keynote presentations by Eve Sweetser and Gerard Steen! #Metaphor
