DESCRIPTION:Leaflet\nWith this workshop\, second in the KHK’s series on 
 ‘Texture’\, we intend to scrutinize the concept of scripture with rega
 rd to its material and metaphorical topicality in religious studies. The p
 roject in general intends to overcome the shortcomings of current approach
 es trying to illuminate the phenomenon of ‘text’. Script or scripture 
 as a religious phenomenon has to be regarded in a twofold manner. On the o
 ne hand scripture consists of materialized signs\, on the other hand it ob
 jectifies the act of writing. In both capacities scripture plays an import
 ant part in religious praxis.\nThe concept of scripture is underestimated 
 if it is considered to be a mere medium of storing information. Holy scrip
 tures do not only transport information but claim a religious dignity in t
 hemselves and display a religious activity of their own in determining a t
 exture of human behavior. So the concept of scripture with regard to relig
 ion also contains processes of description (cosmologies)\, of prescription
  (command-ments)\, of transcription (transformation/conversion processes) 
 and of inscription (for example to carve something into something – not 
 at last in the human body thus providing a good example of scriptural embo
 diment). As such\, scripture denotes a fundamental human praxis which comb
 ines the cognitive and the material sphere.
