Dear friends and colleagues, With this Weekly we say goodbye for this year and prepare for the winter break. Before we take this short break, we would like to share an announcement for a lecture with you today, as well as a call for applications and a call for papers. There will be no Weekly next week. The next colloquium will take place on 10 January. As usual, we will give you all the information about it the week before. The KFG offices will be closed during the week of 25 December to 1 January. However, the offices will still be available for use by Fellows and guests as needed. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a good start to the new year. Enjoy and take good care! Your KFG team |

CfP: Special Issue of the Journal of Religion, Media, and Digital Culture on “Metaphor & Misinformation: Religion in Media-Driven Worlds”This CfP invites papers that explore the use of metaphors and/or the dissemination of misinformation from a comparative or systematic perspective and in diachronic or synchronic ways. Metaphors and misinformation can be found in the history of religion as well as in current debates, conveying complex concepts and being shaped by conflicting claims on truth and falseness. In light of this, we encourage papers exploring metaphors and misinformation in media cultures throughout history. The call is intended for scholars in the field of Religion, Media, and Culture, especially participants of the 2023 Conference of the International Society for Media, Religion, and Culture (ISMRC), to publish in a special issue of the Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture (RMDC), dedicated to the conference’s theme.
