Full textAbstract:
The language used to describe the tastes of various wines ranges from specific references to chemical, vegetal and mineral components to a wealth of diverse metaphorical constructions. This paper explores the use and characteristics of the anthropomorphic metaphor in wine reviews from a cross–linguistic perspective. The theoretical framework relies on the cognitive approach to metaphor, most notably on the conceptual theory of metaphor. The case study presented is focused on the conceptual metaphor WINE IS A HUMAN BEING and its linguistic realisations in a corpus of wine reviews collected from selected Slovene and English sources. A number of metaphors will be examined with respect to their level of conventionality, from metaphorically motivated terminology to novel linguistic metaphors. It will be argued that despite some variations in the way metaphors are realised in English and Slovene wine discourses, there is a large overlap in the way the two languages conceptualise the taste of wine through the anthropomorphic metaphor.

Metaphors of Dawn in Lithuanian and Russian Poetry This article analyzes the realizations of certain basic metaphors of dawn/sunset in the works of twentieth-century Lithuanian and Russian poets. The first part of the article examines important discrepancies between biomorphic, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic metaphors, as well as mythological metaphors. In Lithuanian poetry, dawn/sunset is associated with different objects compared to Russian poetry (wild strawberries and cherry, birds, fish and snakes in Lithuanian poetry; cranberries, melons and apples, birds and animals in Russian poetry). There is a lack of anthropomorphic metaphors for girl or woman in Lithuanian poetry. The associations of dawn/sunset with mythic entities are also entirely different. In the realization of the metaphor of DAWN/SUNSET – JEWELS, DAWN/SUNSET – FABRIC/ITEM MADE of FABRIC, DAWN/SUNSET – METAL/ITEM MADE of METAL, both similarities and significant differences are registered.The second part of the article examines more closely the similarities between the realizations of three basic metaphors, in which the dawn/sunset is interpreted as: 1) fire or blaze; 2) a burning object; 3) liquid.The analyses embraces about 200 poetry texts excerpts: 95 excerpts from the poetry works by 28 Lithuanian authors and 105 excerpts from the works by 30 Russian authors. In both languages, the metaphoric expressions of the first group highlight the bright colors of dawn/sunset; intensity; impression of a burning object. The metaphorization of the dark hues of dawn is specific to the Russian poetry. Semantically close to this group are metaphors of the DAWN/SUNSET – BURNING OBJECT. Dawn/sunset is interpreted as fire, bonfire, holy fire, burning coals, a lantern or torch. The image of the sacrificial fire is more widespread in the Russian poetry than in Lithuanian. In both poetic systems, folkloric images are used to develop the basic metaphor. The realization of the common metaphor DAWN/SUNSET – LIQUID as DAWN/SUNSET – BLOOD is associated with the metaphor SUNSET – DEATH in the Lithuanian poetry, while in Russian poetry – with the metaphor SUNSET – WOUND. The metaphor DAWN/SUNSET – TEAR is equally rare. In the metaphor DAWN – WATER/WATER RESERVOIR, the overlap of the images and relation to the more general metaphor LIGHT – WATER is evident in the both groups. In the group DAWN/SUNSET – CHEMICAL LIQUID. The image of paint (including cosmetics) is widely used in the both poetical systems. In the latter group, one can notice the overlap of the metaphor DAWN – WINE. It is specific to the Russian metaphoric system the use of pickle, cod-liver oil images.The Lithuanian and Russian poetic systems are characterized by both specific and common metaphors of dawn and dusk. These metaphors reveal some differences in the frequency of using various models, as well as in their particular content. Metafory świtu w poezji litewskiej i rosyjskiej Artykuł analizuje realizację pewnych zasadniczych metafor świtu/zmierzchu w utworach dwudziestowiecznych poetów litewskich i rosyjskich. W pierwszej części artykułu omówiono istotne rozbieżności między metaforami biomorficznymi, zoomorficznymi, antropomorficznymi, jak też metaforami mitologicznymi. W poezji litewskiej świt/zmierzch kojarzy się z różnymi obiektami porównywanymi z poezją rosyjską (dzikie truskawki i jagody, ptaki, ryby i węże w poezji litewskiej; żurawina, arbuzy i jabłka, ptaki i zwierzęta w poezji rosyjskiej). W poezji litewskiej brak metafor antropomorficznych w odniesieniu do dziewczyny lub kobiety. Skojarzenia świt/zmierzch z hasłami mitycznymi są także całkowicie odmienne. W realizacji metafor ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – KLEJNOTY, ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – TKANINA/ ARTYKUŁ WYKONANY Z TKANINY, ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – METAL/ ARTYKUŁ WYKONANY Z METALU, odnotowane zostały zarówno podobieństwa, jak i znaczące różnice.W drugiej części artykułu bliżej zbadane zostały podobieństwa w realizacji trzech podstawowych metafor, w których świt/zmierzch interpretowany jest jako: 1) ogień lub blask; 2) palący się przedmiot; 3) płyn.Analiza obejmuje ok. 200 wyjątków z tekstów poetyckich: 95 pochodzi z wierszy 28 autorów litewskich, zaś 105 z utworów 30 rosyjskich autorów. W obu językach wyrażenia metaforyczne z pierwszej grupy uwypuklają jaskrawe barwy świtu/zmierzchu; intensywność; wrażenie płonącego obiektu. Metaforyzacja ciemnych odcieni świtu właściwa jest poezji rosyjskiej. Semantycznie bliskie tej grupie są metafory ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – PALĄCY SIĘ OBIEKT. Świt/zmierzch interpretowany jest jako ogień, fajerwerk, święty ogień, rozżarzony węgiel, lampion lub pochodnia. Obraz ognia sakryfikowanego bardziej rozpowszechnił się w poezji rosyjskiej niż litewskiej. W obu systemach poetyckich wyobrażenia folklorystyczne służą do wywołania podstawowych metafor. Realizacja powszechnej metafory ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – PŁYN jako ŚWIT/ ZMIERZCH – KREW kojarzy się z metaforą ZMIERZCH – ŚMIERĆ w poezji litewskiej, podczas gdy w rosyjskiej – z metaforą ZMIERZCH – RANA. Metafora ŚWIT/ ZMIERZCH – ŁZA jest także rzadka. W metaforze ŚWIT – WODA/ ZASOBNIK WODY nałożenie się na siebie obrazów i relacji z ogólniejszą metaforą ŚWIATŁO – WODA jest oczywiste w obu tych grupach. W grupie ŚWIT/ZMIERZCH – PŁYN CHEMICZNY obraz farby (łącznie z kosmetykiem) jest używany szeroko w obu poetyckich systemach. W tej ostatniej grupie można zauważyć nakładanie się na siebie z metaforą ŚWIT – WINO. Właściwe rosyjskiemu systemowi metafor jest użycie obrazów pikle, olej z wątroby dorsza itd.Systemy poetyckie litewski i rosyjski cechują zarówno konkretne, jak i ogólne metafory świtu i zmierzchu. Te metafory zdradzają pewne różnice w częstotliwości używania różnych modeli, a zarazem ich szczególne treści.

The basis for this study is to use students' creative texts in science as a mean to gain insight into their conceptual ideas. Eight grade students' creative writing tasks (n = 26) were analyzed with respect to the conceptual metaphors that were used to describe the abstract concept chemical bonding. The conceptual metaphors were identified and sorted into two main categories; location event-structure conceptual metaphors and object event-structure conceptual metaphors. Results show that most metaphors can be categorized as location event-structure conceptual metaphors. Embodied concepts and everyday language rooted in senso-motoric experiences from students’ daily life as well as from former science education seem to play a central role when they attempt to make meaning of the abstract concept ‘chemical bonding’ within a creative writing context. Creative writing tasks in science may have an unutilized potential for both uncovering and developing understanding of abstract phenomena on sub-microscopic level, such as chemical bonding.

What are cells? How are they related to each other and to the organism as a whole? These questions have exercised biology since Schleiden and Schwann (1838–1839) first proposed cells as the key units of structure and function of all living things. But how do we try to understand them? Through new technologies like the achromatic microscope and the electron microscope. But just as importantly, through the metaphors our culture has made available to biologists in different periods and places. These two new volumes provide interesting history and philosophy of the development of cell biology. Reynolds surveys the field's changing conceptual structure by examining the varied panoply of changing metaphors used to conceptualize and explain cells – from cells as empty boxes, as building blocks, to individual organisms, to chemical factories, and through many succeeding metaphors up to one with great currency today: cells as social creatures in communication with others in their community. There is some of this approach in the Visions edited collection as well. But this collection also includes rich material on the technologies used to visualize cells and their dialectical relationship with the epistemology of the emerging distinct discipline of cell biology. This volume centres on, but is not limited to, ‘reflections inspired by [E.V.] Cowdry's [1924 volume] General Cytology’; it benefits from a conference on the Cowdry volume as well as a 2011 Marine Biological Lab/Arizona State University workshop on the history of cell biology.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundThe aetiology of depression is not fully understood, which allows many different perspectives on aetiology to be adopted. Researchers and clinicians may be attracted to concepts of aetiology that parallel other diagnoses with which they are familiar. Such parallels may assume the role of informal models or metaphors for depressive disorders. They may even function as informal scientific theories of aetiology, energising research activities by guiding hypothesis generation and organising new knowledge. Parallels between different types of disease may ultimately prove valuable as frameworks supporting the emergence and maturation of new knowledge. However, such models may be counterproductive if their basis, which is likely to lay at least partially in analogy, is unacknowledged or overlooked. This could cause such models to appear more compelling than they really are. Listing examples of situations in which models of depression may arise from, or be strengthened by, parallels to other familiar conditions may increase the accessibility of such models either to criticism or support. However, such a list has not yet appeared in the literature. The present paper was written with the modest goal of stating several examples of models or metaphors for depression.MethodThis paper adopted narrative review methods. The intention was not to produce a comprehensive list of such ideas, but rather to identify prominent examples of ways of thinking about depression that may have been invigorated as a result parallels with other types of disease.ResultsEight possible models are identified: depressive disorders as chemical imbalances (e.g., a presumed or theoretical imbalance of normally balanced neurotransmission in the brain), degenerative conditions (e.g., a brain disease characterised by atrophy of specified brain structures), toxicological syndromes (a result of exposure to a noxious psychological environment), injuries (e.g., externally induced brain damage related to stress), deficiency states (e.g., a serotonin deficiency), an obsolete category (e.g., similar to obsolete terms such as ‘consumption’ or ‘dropsy’), medical mysteries (e.g., a condition poised for a paradigm-shifting breakthrough) or evolutionary vestiges (residual components of once adaptive mechanisms have become maladaptive in modern environments).ConclusionsConceptualisation of depressive disorders may be partially shaped by familiar disease concepts. Analogies of this sort may ultimately be productive (e.g., through generating hypotheses by analogy) or destructive (e.g., by structuring knowledge in incorrect, but intellectually seductive, ways).

Full textAbstract:
Systems Chemistry investigates the upkeep of specific interactions of an exceptionally broad choice of objects over longer periods of time than the average time of existence of the objects themselves. This maintenance of a dynamic state focuses on conditions where the objects are thermodynamically not very stable and should be rare or virtually inexistent. It does not matter whether they are homochirally enriched populations of chiral molecules, a specific composition of some sort of aggregate, supramolecules, or even a set of chemically relatively unstable molecules that constantly transform one into another. What does matter is that these specific interactions prevail in complex mixtures and eventually grow in numbers and frequency through the enhancing action of autocatalysis, which makes such systems ultimately resemble living cells and interacting living populations. Such chemical systems need to be correctly understood, but also intuitively described. They may be so complex that metaphors become practically more important, as a means of communication, than the precise and correct technical description of chemical models and complex molecular or supramolecular relations. This puts systems chemists on a tightrope walk of science communication, between the complex reality and an imaginative model world. This essay addresses, both, scientists who would like to read “A Brief History of Systems Chemistry”, that is, about its “essence”, and systems chemists who work with and communicate complex life-like chemical systems. I illustrate for the external reader a light mantra, that I call “to make more of it”, and I charily draw systems chemists to reflect upon the fact that chemists are not always good at drawing a clear line between a model and “the reality”: The real thing. We are in a constant danger of taking metaphors for real. Yet in real life, we do know very well that we cannot smoke with Magritte’s pipe, don’t we?

Previous issue date: 2008-11-10<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>The words analogies and metaphors etimologically mean the relationship of similarity between things and change of meaning from the proper to the figurative. They have been utilised on a day to day basis, in the evolution of Science and as teaching tools to facilitate communication. Given this pressuposition, the objective of this paper is to analyse the use of analogies and metaphors in the process of constructing knowledge regarding the scientific concept of chemical bonds. To this end three Chemistry teachers from the state public system had their classes monitored. They were also interviewed and had to answer a questionary. The results showed that among the teachers being monitored one made use of analogies while the other two used analogies and metaphors. The use of analogies and metaphors by the teachers being monitored was spontaneous and without definite planning. We also observed that the use of analogies and metaphors as teaching tools was less frequent. This fact may be due to the absence of planning as well as of discussions that may increase the use of analogies and metaphors as teaching tools in such a way that they can be a part of the process of teaching and learning.<br>Analogias e metáforas, que etimologicamente significam relações de semelhança entre coisas e transposição do sentido próprio ao figurado, têm sido utilizadas no cotidiano, na evolução da Ciência e como ferramentas didáticas, com o intuito de facilitar na comunicação. Diante do presente pressuposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a utilização de analogias e metáforas na construção do conhecimento sobre o conceito científico de ligações químicas. Para tanto, foram considerados três professores de Química da rede pública estadual, que tiveram suas aulas observadas, responderam a um questionário e a uma entrevista. Os resultados mostraram que dos professores investigados, um fez uso das analogias, enquanto que dois aplicaram as mesmas e as metáforas. Dessa forma, os professores empregaram as analogias e metáforas de modo espontâneo sem que houvesse planejamento definido. Vimos ser ainda pouco freqüente o uso das mesmas como ferramentas didáticas, talvez pela ausência de planejamento e de discussões que possam permeá-las como recurso didático de modo a subsidiar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

Full textAbstract:
From a general discussion concerning the shortcomings of the received view of scientific theories and scientific explanation I conclude that metaphorical thinking, until quite recently restricted to literary analysis, may play a significant role not only in the way theories are conceived, but also in the way that meaning is ascribed to the concepts used in science. The analysis of the literal realm of 'machine' considers three aspects that could appear in the metaphorical assimilation of organisms to machines: the contrivance aspect, which is the 'hardware'; the fact that machines exhibit purpose; finally, the integrated aspect of the machine (its harmony). The study is devoted only to the first aspect.
I offer a narrative of pivotal ideas about the workings of the biological individual, from the clockworks of the early mechanicists to modern biochemistry, not just as a succession of discoveries but also as alleged accomplishments of the 'machine metaphor' revealing its scope.
Some recognized milestones in the history of ideas about the inner workings of organisms are surveyed: the proposals of the early mechanicists during the Scientific Revolution, Lavoisier's view of respiration as combustion, Liebig's description of the human body as a chemical machine and the suggestion that the chemical accomplishments in living beings are the result of myriads of fermentation-like processes. I devote special attention to the problem of the direct conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy using the evolution of ideas about muscular contraction as the main example.
During the period 1900-1930 the study of colloidal behavior was considered to be the right path for unraveling most of the mysteries of vital processes. I carefully describe this work particularly the proposed models for muscular contraction and enzymatic action. The dismissal of this colloidal approach after the acceptance of the existence of those particular kinds of macromolecules that exist in living organisms marks the entrance of our modern approach. One of the remarkable features of the modern approach is the incessant elaboration of the idea of 'molecular machine'. I conclude with a discussion of the problem how literally can this metaphor be taken?<br>Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies<br>Graduate

For people who live with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity syndrome illness is a hidden construct. The body does not display the chronicity of the internal experience. This thesis removes the barrier between what is experienced and what is visible by creating visual means of communicating the body’s hidden experience. The place of the viewer is part of this discussion. Through visual methods digital photographic techniques and the current interest in sensory anthropology the embodied sensory chronic illness experience is explored. The hidden experiences were made visual creating “MeBoxes” and masks which showed both the external and embodied internal experiences of chronic illness. As the process of working with and walking beside the participants developed, I found that the discourse on imaging within the literature was inadequate to show the real lived experiences of those with chronic illness. My interactions with the people of this thesis and the process of honouring their experiences required a model that would encourage the viewer to new and perhaps unrealised depths of participation to understand the participant’s multi-faceted and multi-layered experiences. Part of the discussion is the ability of images to communicate sensory experience as is the case with Munch’s The Scream and Picasso’s Guernica. Through the use of a hypertextual self-scape I show how participants created access to their experiences through their visual representations and through a collaborative approach became composite hypertextual self-scape metaphors.

Full textAbstract:
ReAction! gives a scientist's and artist's response to the dark and bright sides of chemistry found in 140 films, most of them contemporary Hollywood feature films but also a few documentaries, shorts, silents, and international films. Even though there are some examples of screen chemistry between the actors and of behind-the-scenes special effects, this book is really about the chemistry when it is part of the narrative. It is about the dualities of Dr. Jekyll vs. inventor chemists, the invisible man vs. forensic chemists, chemical weapons vs. classroom chemistry, chemical companies that knowingly pollute the environment vs. altruistic research chemists trying to make the world a better place to live, and, finally, about people who choose to experiment with mind-altering drugs vs. the drug discovery process. Little did Jekyll know when he brought the Hyde formula to his lips that his personality split would provide the central metaphor that would come to describe chemistry in the movies. This book explores the two movie faces of this supposedly neutral science. Watching films with chemical eyes, Dr. Jekyll is recast as a chemist engaged in psychopharmaceutical research but who becomes addicted to his own formula. He is balanced by the often wacky inventor chemists who make their discoveries by trial-and-error.

Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann's contributions to chemistry are well known. Less well known, however, is that over a career that spans nearly fifty years, Hoffmann has thought and written extensively about a wide variety of other topics, such as chemistry's relationship to philosophy, literature, and the arts, including the nature of chemical reasoning, the role of symbolism and writing in science, and the relationship between art and craft and science. In Roald Hoffmann on the Philosophy, Art, and Science of Chemistry, Jeffrey Kovac and Michael Weisberg bring together twenty-eight of Hoffmann's most important essays. Gathered here are Hoffmann's most philosophically significant and interesting essays and lectures, many of which are not widely accessible. In essays such as "Why Buy That Theory," "Nearly Circular Reasoning," "How Should Chemists Think," "The Metaphor, Unchained," "Art in Science," and "Molecular Beauty," we find the mature reflections of one of America's leading scientists. Organized under the general headings of Chemical Reasoning and Explanation, Writing and Communicating, Art and Science, Education, and Ethics, these stimulating essays provide invaluable insight into the teaching and practice of science.

Full textAbstract:
Sheila Ortiz Taylor’s Coachella (1998) and Gil Cuadros’s City of God (1994) challenge readers to consider AIDS not as racial allegory but as the sublime limit of human experience. The chapter makes this argument by reading Taylor and Cuadros as textual embodiments of barbasco, a wild Mexican yam from which Russell Marker, an American chemist, was able to synthesize diosgenin, which can be turned into synthetic progesterone, from which all other synthetic hormones can be derived. The author weaves her reading of Taylor and Cuadros through barbasco’s chemical properties and scientific history. An obvious connection between the yam and the books is their relationship to nonreproductive sexuality: the yam through hormonal control, the novels with their investments in queer identity. Pushing further, however, both novels resist Susan Sontag’s admonition, in AIDS and Its Metaphors (1989), to resist AIDS as political allegory. Its global influence contrasts with its indigenous roots in ways that parallel the dual search, catalyzed in both novels by the AIDS pandemic, for ethnic authenticity and transcendence of self.
