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 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: 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. Call for Papers The call for papers <http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/cfp/index.html> for the 11th RaAM-conference invites researchers to submit abstracts for 20-minute papers, themed panels or posters addressing topics in all areas of the conference theme. Submission of abstracts closes on December 15, 2015. Pre-conference methods workshop in Frankfurt/Oder Prior to the conference, on June 29 - 30, 2016, we will offer a PhD-workshop that will focus on methods for analyzing metaphor usage in face-to-face discourse and in audio-visual images. It will provide an intimate setting for concentrated and collaborative work in a very pleasant environment at the European University Viadrina <https://www.europa-uni.de/en/index.html> in Frankfurt (Oder), located close to Berlin and directly on the German-Polish border. Further information about the workshop and the application process will be available later in the year.
