DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nWith this workshop\, second in the KHK’s series on 
 ‘Texture’\, we  intend to scrutinize the concept of scripture with reg
 ard to its  material and metaphorical topicality in religious studies. The
  project  in general intends to overcome the shortcomings of current appro
 aches  trying to illuminate the phenomenon of ‘text’. Script or script
 ure as a  religious phenomenon has to be regarded in a twofold manner. On 
 the one  hand scripture consists of materialized signs\, on the other hand
  it  objectifies the act of writing. In both capacities scripture plays an
   important part in religious praxis.\nThe concept of scripture is  undere
 stimated if it is considered to be a mere medium of storing  information. 
 Holy scriptures do not only transport information but claim  a religious d
 ignity in themselves and display a religious activity of  their own in det
 ermining a texture of human behavior. So the concept of  scripture with re
 gard to religion also contains processes of description  (cosmologies)\, o
 f prescription (command-ments)\, of transcription  (transformation/convers
 ion processes) and of inscription (for example to  carve something into so
 mething – not at last in the human body thus  providing a good example o
 f scriptural embodiment). As such\, scripture  denotes a fundamental human
  praxis which combines the cognitive and the  material sphere.
