• God, Human, Machine: Images and Imaginations of Religion in the Age of AI

    Uni­ver­sität Erfurt

    The con­fer­ence draws atten­tion to the hith­er­to large­ly neglect­ed aes­thet­ic, eth­i­cal, and intel­lec­tu­al impli­ca­tions of AI-gen­er­at­ed imagery in reli­gious con­texts. We invite schol­ars and researchers to sub­mit paper pro­pos­als that crit­i­cal­ly exam­ine how AI tech­nolo­gies are reshap­ing reli­gious images and imag­i­na­tions across tra­di­tions, cul­tures, and social con­texts. We seek con­tri­bu­tions, which explore the ways in […]

Zugle­ich bleibt häu­fig unklar, was genau unter einem Kon­text ver­standen wird. Ist Kon­text der his­torische, soziale, materielle oder kul­turelle Hin­ter­grund eines Phänomens? Entste­ht Kon­text erst durch Inter­pre­ta­tion? Welche Rolle spie­len Medi­en und Mate­ri­alien bei der Her­stel­lung und Verän­derung von Kon­tex­ten? Und […]
