Abstract

La métaphore est un des lieux privilégiés où se déploie la réflexion contemporaine sur les modalités de production et de structuration du sens. Fondamentalement, il s'agit d'un processus de signification par transfert, où des univers réputés irréductibles se trouvent fusionnés par le biais de l'analogie. Plus profondément, l'on doit s'interroger sur le caractère spécifique de la métaphore, c'est-à-dire sur les mécanismes fondamentaux de son fonctionnement. Cette tâche implique un effort de description et d'évaluation du processus métaphorique dans les langages les plus divers. C'est à cette double entreprise que contribue le présent ouvrage. On y trouvera l'exposé de cinq approches différentes, s'alimentant chacune aux interrogations les plus récentes dans les disciplines suivantes : philosophie, épistémologie, psychanalyse, linguistique et sémiotique du langage pictural.

Abstract

With reference to copious case studies, this book attempts to give a broad and comprehensive view of the multiplicity of forms taken by metaphor in physics. A diachronic presentation of the views hitherto advanced on the role of metaphor in the natural sciences provides an introduction to the crucial issues. By means of a broad definition of metaphor as a lexical, semantic, and conceptual phenomenon, metaphor is identified at various levels of physics discourse: in metatheory and methodology; in the sociology of the origin and evolution of science; in theory and conceptualization, including physics models; in education; and finally in linguistic expression, including terminology. Whereas historians and theoreticians of science reduce the question of metaphor in physics to the question of the role of scientific models, where one area of physics provides concepts and structures for another area, the perspective adopted here is that of cognitive semantics. The study inquires into the way in which concept-formation and terminology in physics avails itself of the metaphoric bent immanent in everyday language, conceptualizing abstract ideas in spatial terms, inanimate things as intelligent, measurable phenomena in terms of the visual. Attention is also given to the way in which metaphoric processes make it possible to integrate new knowledge into old and sometimes obsolete structures rather than eliminating those structures altogether.

Abstract

This volume explains how metaphors, metonymies, and other figures of thought interact cognitively and rhetorically to tell us what writing is and what it should do. Drawing on interviews with writing professionals and published commentary about writing, it argues that our everyday metaphors and metonymies for writing are part of a figurative rhetoric of writing - a pattern of discourse and thought that includes ways we categorize writers and writing; stories we tell about people who write; conceptual metaphors and metonymies used both to describe and to guide writing; and familiar, yet surprisingly adaptable, conceptual blends used routinely for imagining writing situations. The book will give scholars a fresh understanding of concepts such as 'voice', 'self', 'clarity', 'power', and the most basic figure of all: 'the writer'.

Abstract

Nietzsche, Biology and Metaphor explores the German philosopher's response to the intellectual debates sparked by the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. By examining the abundance of biological metaphors in Nietzsche's writings, Gregory Moore questions his recent reputation as an eminently subversive and (post-) modern thinker, and shows how deeply Nietzsche was immersed in late nineteenth-century debates on evolution, degeneration and race. The first part of the book provides a detailed study and interpretation of Nietzsche's much disputed relationship to Darwinism. Uniquely, Moore also considers the importance of Nietzsche's evolutionary perspective for the development of his moral and aesthetic philosophy. The second part analyzes key themes of Nietzsche's cultural criticism - his attack on the Judaeo-Christian tradition, his diagnosis of the nihilistic crisis afflicting modernity and his anti-Wagnerian polemics - against the background of fin-de-siècle fears about the imminent biological collapse of Western civilization.

Abstract

Praten met kinderen en jongeren met autisme over hun diagnose begint niet met informeren maar met luisteren. Luisteren naar en aansluiten bij hoe het kind of de jongere zichzelf en dat ?autisme? ervaart is de sleutel tot succes. En hoe kan dat beter dan door een taal te gebruiken die niet alleen kindvriendelijk is maar ook autismevriendelijk, met name beeldtaal? Beelden zeggen niet alleen meer dan duizend woorden, ze geven kinderen en jongeren met autisme ook de kans om uit te drukken wat ze zo moeilijk gezegd krijgen in een klassiek gesprek waar alleen maar gepraat wordt. Met beelden laten kinderen en jongeren met autisme letterlijk in hun hoofd kijken. En door te tekenen of op andere manieren ?uit te beelden? voldoet al wie kinderen en jongeren met autisme begeleidt ook aan dat ander criterium van een autismevriendelijke begeleiding, met name dat samen doen belangrijker is dan praten.Bron: https://www.epo.be/nl/gezondheid/3837-autisme-ver-beeld-en-9789462671690.html

Abstract

L’explosion scientifique des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, qui est à l’origine de la science moderne, a profondément marqué la culture et les esprits de l’époque, notamment en Angleterre où elle constitue une importante source d’inspiration poétique. La période 1600-1660, de Shakespeare à Milton, voit fleurir les métaphores scientifiques, forgées à partir des représentations mentales des savants. Ces derniers recourent en effet à l’analogie pour se figurer la puissance de l’aimant, la nature de la lumière ou l’organisation du cosmos. Chez John Donne ou Henry Vaughan, par exemple, les représentations de la passion amoureuse, de la quête de Dieu, de l’attente de la mort, s’alimentent aux théories élaborées par Copernic, Gilbert, Kepler ou Paracelse. L’ouvrage nous invite à un voyage au cœur du « concert », métaphore audacieuse, extravagante ou subtile des poètes « métaphysiques » anglais. Il éclaire une poésie complexe où se manifeste une connaissance intime des sciences qui sondent les secrets du microcosme et du macrocosme. Margaret Llasera croise étude des sciences et critique littéraire : chaque chapitre retrace l’histoire de l’une des sciences retenues – le magnétisme, l’optique, l’astronomie, la météorologie, l’alchimie et la médecine – et analyse les figures poétiques qu’elle a suscitées. C’est tout l’imaginaire d’une époque où se confondaient encore les « deux cultures » qui est ainsi restitué.

Abstract

This study applies several linguistic approaches to the book of Samuel in order to investigate the defining features of metaphor and the way metaphor and other forms of figurative language operate in biblical narrative. The book begins with an exploration of how to identify and interpret the metaphors in 1 Samuel 25. Next, the metaphors in 2 Samuel 16:16-17:14 are compared with other tropes, primarily metonymy and simile. Then the notion of “dead” metaphors is challenged while examining the figurative language in 1 Samuel 24. An in-depth analysis of the figurative language in these texts results in a better understanding of the mechanics of metaphor, and a richer, more nuanced reading of these stories, their characters, and language.
