RaAM is committed to the study of metaphor, metonymy and other forms of
figurative expression in all domains of life and with a particular focus on
the application of metaphor research to real-life issues. With the 2016 theme
“Metaphor in the Arts, in Media and Communication”, the conference RaAM 11
will embrace this central thought by putting the spotlight on ways of
metaphorical communication – often beyond the scope of solely language-based
discourse – in some of the most  prominent areas of metaphor usage. RaAM 11
wants to provide a platform for research from various fields that regard
metaphor as a fundamental principle of communication in the realm of the arts
as well as in different forms of media and every day communication. The
conference aims to explore metaphor and metaphor usage in contexts that
operate on a broad range of sensory data and different  levels of imagery.
This includes film and other audio-visual media, literature, poetry,
architecture, theatre, painting, music and dance as well as production design,
social media and face-to-face communication. We especially invite
contributions that explore and discuss the link between these realms: a
particular experiential, embodied, sensory dimension of metaphor that grounds
understanding and the emergence of meaning.

The conference will feature plenary lectures by:

- Jennifer M. Barker – Georgia State University 
- Petra Gehring – Technische Universität Darmstadt 
- José Mario Gutierrez Marquez – Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
- Irene Mittelberg – RWTH Aachen

We are very much looking forward to your submissions and hope to see you in at
the RaAM 11 next year.

The Local Organizing Committee:
Chairs:
Hermann Kappelhoff – Freie Universität Berlin 
Cornelia Müller – European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
