DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Prof. Dr. Stefan Hartmann (HHU Düsseldorf)\n
 \nThis talk introduces the project "Mocking Metaphor: The construal of tra
 nscendence in parody religions"\, which is envisaged as project B07 for th
 e second phase of CRC 1475. Parody religions are constructed belief system
 s that are usually devised as a satirical means of mocking the idea of rel
 igious belief per se\, and/or certain elements that are (perceived to be) 
 characteristic of extant religions. They present a particularly interestin
 g and challenging test case for better understanding the role of metaphori
 city as the central principle of religious meaning-making. The main goal o
 f the project is to explore how the transcendence/immanence divide is meta
 phorically construed in parody religions\, how parody religions make use o
 f deliberately incongruent metaphorical mappings for satirical purposes\, 
 and what this tells us about the perception of religion from a (largely) "
 outside" perspective.
