Prior to our first livestreaming event with Mark Turner, the SBL International Meeting in Salzburg (July 17–21) provided us with the opportunity to engage with members of our Advisory Board as well as junior scholars in a seminar sponsored by the local planning committee. Our thoroughly transdisciplinary seminar entitled “Cognition and Characters in Ancient Narrative” addressed the question of how to describe and compare processes and effects of reader response to characters in different ancient text corpora. Some statements from our contributors on how Cognitive Disciplines affects and enriches their own work were also recorded during our time together in Austria. (Below you also find a few more impressions from Salzburg).
