Purpose Arts-informed, visual research was conducted to document the pictorial metaphors that appear among original drawings of information. The purpose of this paper is to report the diversity of these pictorial metaphors, delineate their formal qualities as drawings, and provide a fresh perspective on the concept of information. Design/methodology/approach The project utilized pre-existing iSquare drawings of information that were produced by iSchool graduate students during a draw-and-write activity. From a data set of 417 images, 125 of the strongest pictorial metaphors were identified and subjected to cognitive metaphor theory. Findings Overwhelmingly, the favored source domain for envisioning information was nature. The most common pictorial metaphors were: Earth, web, tree, light bulb, box, cloud, and fishing/mining, and each brings different qualities of information into focus. The drawings were often canonical versions of objects in the world, leading to arrays of pictorial metaphors marked by their similarity. Research limitations/implications Less than 30 percent of the data set qualified as pictorial metaphors, making them a minority strategy for representing information as an image. The process to identify and interpret pictorial metaphors was highly subjective. The arts-informed methodology generated tensions between artistic and social scientific paradigms. Practical implications The pictorial metaphors for information can enhance information science education and fortify professional identity among information professionals. Originality/value This is the first arts-informed, visual study of information that utilizes cognitive metaphor theory to explore the nature of information. It strengthens a sense of history, humanity, nature, and beauty in our understanding of information today, and contributes to metaphor research at large.

Klaus Alpers has recently recovered from the obscurity of Byzantine lexica the fragments of what appears to be a novel dating from c. A.D. 100, and notable to us, as it was for the Byzantine excerptor, for the elegant verbal borrowings from ancient comedy, always a favourite source of good Attic Greek for the atticists of imperial times. One of these glosses gives occasion to look again at fishing metaphors for erotic business, a subject discussed often enough by scholars, but still perhaps capable of revealing new nuances. These hunting and fishing metaphors are used as one would expect in many non-amatory contexts, but in both love poetry and its allied genres they occur throughout antiquity in such quantity that the metaphorical complexity reaches into very allusive language. Long ago Preston had already pointed out that ‘Figures from hunting, fowling and fishing as parallel to the arts of the meretrix, are very frequent, and are developed at unusual length.’ There was undoubtedly a realistic side to all of this metaphorical hunting. ‘The lover is a fish to be baked, as long he has juice in him’, says the bawd at Plautus, Asinaria 177, and one needs little imagination to realize what plays can be made on such a theme, and indeed were made at all levels throughout antiquity.

The purpose of this study is to reveal how the academicians working in the field of recreation conceptualize their ideas about “recreation” through metaphors. Phenomenology being among the qualitative research methods was used in this study. The research population is composed of the academicians working in the field of recreation in different universities of Turkey. Qualitative data collection method via metaphors was used. When metaphors are used to "describe", a situation, event and phenomenon are described as they exist (Yıldırım and Şimşek, 2013). Data from the study were collected by using a semi-structured metaphor form via survey online. The raw data obtained from the study were examined, incomplete or inexpedient ones were excluded and metaphors were modeled by transferring them to the Nvivo 10 program.As a result of the data obtained, the academicians working in the field of recreation use such concepts as escape, star, giant, happiness, music box, spring air, freedom, traveler, broken chain ring, octopus, life, Aladdin and the magic lamp, sun, a colorful cake with mixed fruit, work potential, a multi-purpose field or saloon, funfair, umbrella, flying carpet, human, Aegean sea, sea, rainbow, water, living, forest, fishing tackle, bridge, time, wind, chameleon, seasons, breath, science, nature and spice while describing the concept of recreation metaphorically. The data obtained after the interviews were then coded under the appropriate themes after being analyzed with the content analysis method. According to the data obtained, it has been found that it has been gathered under 5 (five) themes as "As a Value for Individual and Society", "Serving Needs", "Social Reputation", "Recreate" and "Self- realization". In conclusion, it is observed that the metaphors obtained comply with the recreation theories regarding the metaphorical perceptions of the academicians working in the field of recreation about the “recreation” concept. In order to better understand the concept of recreation, it is recommended to take evaluation results in practical activities.

AbstractThis discussion traces metaphors of consumerism, commoditized sex and sexified commodities that proliferate throughout urban Africa, signalling the intensified globalization of images of desire and opportunity, on the one hand, and chronic poverty and destitution, on the other. Focusing on sexual economies in Dakar as a case in point, the paper attempts an analysis of how, in situations of increasing scarcity and transurban articulations, language, sex, possession, loss, self-construction and self-corruption mutually shape each other. The paper seeks to represent the textures and intricacies that arise as the interdependencies among status, pleasure, appropriation, seduction and livelihood are worked out. It examines how these operations themselves elaborate a landscape of possibilities always on the verge of overflowing established sense and sentiments, yet somehow reined in, held, albeit in a highly tenuous relationship, to what is known and valued. The city makes itself urban, despite the nearly impossible economic and political conditions it faces, through a capacity to narrate these tales of fishing (as well as fishy stories), but also always trying to chase, to catch up with its capacity to proliferate words. Written against the background of the threat posed by HIV/AIDS in Africa, the paper also draws attention to the need for further scholarly research on the lethal cocktail of the twin globalization of consumerism and poverty in marginal sites of accumulation pregnant with contradictions and uncertainties such as Africa.

"Teachers’ metaphorical images on “counting jingle – it – playground” in children’s plays of Turkish cultureTürk kültüründeki çocuk oyunlarında “saymaca-ebe-oyun alanı” üzerine öğretmen metaforları." Journal of Human Sciences 13, no. 2 (2016): 3252. http://dx.doi.org/10.14687/jhs.v13i2.3893.
Full textAbstract:
It is a fact that play, indispensible part of child in Turkish cultural and educational system, is the most effective tool to develop children’s emotional, mental, moral, social, personality and native language. In recent years, it has been seen that there is a considerable increase in the researches involving the functions of the children’s plays in respect of metaphor, as in the other parts of the plays. In this respect, play gains importance as the most effective educational tools as an educational campus for children, their peers as their teachers, natural materials like stone, sand, water and tree they use. In this study, “'Choosing rhyme -It-Playground” elements comprising traditional children’s games are handled based on pre-service teachers’ metaphorical images. In the qualitative research, content analysis of 23 metaphors the pre-service teachers produced in the “'Choosing rhyme-It-Playground” context is done and explained. The participants put forward how they perceived Choosing rhyme, It and Playground separately via 72 sub-theme by generating human metaphors like “Voting-Deputy-Voting box”, animal metaphors like “Fishing rod-Fish-Sea” and object metaphors like “Probing-Sample-Cereal Sack” As a last remark, some recommendations are made to the parents and teachers to maintain this traditional culture inherited from our ancestors. ÖzetTürk kültüründe ve eğitim sisteminde, çocuğun ayrılmaz bir parçası olan oyunun, çocuğun duygusal, zihinsel, ahlaki, sosyal, kişilik ve ana dil bakımından gelişiminin en etkili aracı olduğu bilinen bir gerçektir. Son yıllarda, oyunun diğer alanlarında olduğu gibi, çocuk oyunlarının fonksiyonlarını, metaforik açıdan ele alan araştırmaların sayısında gözle görülür bir artma eğiliminde olduğu görülmektedir. Bu anlamda oyun, çocuk için bir eğitim merkezi, akranları birer öğretmen, oyun içinde kullandıkları, taş, toprak, su ve ağaç gibi doğal malzemeleri de en etkili eğitim araçları olarak önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, geleneksel çocuk oyunlarını meydana getiren “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun alanı” unsurları öğretmen adaylarının metaforik algıları üzerine ele alınmıştır. Bu nitel çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun alanı” bağlamında ürettiği 23 metaforun içerik analizi yapılarak açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Katılımcılar, “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun Alanı” bağlamını, “Seçim-Milletvekili-Sandık” gibi insan metaforları; “Olta-Balık-Deniz” gibi hayvan metaforlarını ve “Sonda-Numune-Hububat Çuvalı” gibi nesne metaforlarını kullanarak 72 alt tema oluşturmuşlar ve Saymaca, Ebe ve Oyun alanını kültürel olarak nasıl algıladıklarını ortaya koymuşlardır. Sonuç olarak, Atalarımızdan bizlere miras kalan bu geleneksel kültürün sürdürülmesi için öğretmen ve ebeveynlere bazı tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.

Full textAbstract:
This article draws upon a Māori metaphor to describe the theoretical framework underpinning the methodology and findings of a research project completed by researchers from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, in 2010. It explains how and why the project required the research team to synthesise key information from four New Zealand Ministry of Education Best Evidence Synthesis (BES) reports as well as kaupapa Māori research associated with the Ministry's Ka Hikitia Māori Education Strategy. The key messages outlined in this article were designed by the research team to serve as a new tool to assist whānau (family) and iwi (tribe) to actively engage in the New Zealand schooling system and assert their rights in accordance with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (1840). Given the large number of Māori children attending Australian schools, the findings of this research may be of interest to Australian educationalists.

Full textAbstract:
This essay addresses the connections between Emersonian and Wordsworthian concepts and Norman Maclean’s novella A River Runs through It, specifically those ideas of the Knower, the Sayer, and the Doer from Emerson’s “The Poet,” Emerson’s concept of what constitutes poetry and “The Poet,” as well as Wordsworth’s notions of poetic creativity. As discussed in the essay, Emerson’s concepts of the Knower, the Sayer, and the Doer line up with the three central characters of the novella—The Reverend Maclean, Norman Maclean (both the author and the narrator), and Paul Maclean respectively. It is the unique blending of Romantic poetic leanings and religion that make all three the characters they are, which the author represents through the use of fishing as metaphor. The difficulties faced by the Sayer, as he tries to relate the story of past events and “spots in time,” are central to my argument, as they present the central conflict of the novel and offer the readers a contradiction as well, as the character who’s known as the Sayer should have no trouble expressing himself. However, it is with Wordsworth’s notion of ideas reflected on in tranquility that allow the Sayer to tell the story of his brother, the great poet/artist in a Romantic sense.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the aesthetics, efficacy, and propriety of the embedded metaphors in characterization, music, and colour application as creative vision in projecting victimhood atmosphere around traumatized Niger-Deltans due to many years of deprivation in Blood and Oil. Thus, this study explains how Blood and Oil represents a credible narrative, subsuming polemics of environmental degradation, health misery, massive unemployment, subjugation, and violent restiveness in Niger Delta due to poor political leadership, greed, and corruption. On creative vision, we are discussing how the ingenious application of characterization, music, and colour combined effectively in creating an enduring mood for the scenes in the film as channels of accentuating intended messages. To add relevant scholarly rigor, we applied victimhood theory and interpretive discuss approach to create relevant and lucid insights regarding the inclinations and actions of select characters in the film as well as analysis of relevant secondary texts. In the end, we deduce that the apt portrayal of Niger-Delta oil communities’ extensively degraded and polluted environment validates the reality of anguish and victimhood because of the massively diminished fishing and farming prospects. Lastly, the implication of this scenario is increased unemployment, psychological distress, diseases, and violent restiveness which have reduced enormously the wellbeing of Niger Delta inhabitants.

Full textAbstract:
In a dynamic, environment, the decision makers make use of many different resources where two or more can act as substitutes. At each decision moment in time, the market prices will be constant, and the relative prices of accessible resources will determine the economic rationale of the process. Ignoring or downplaying the effects of substitutability of resources in dynamic economic processes may lead to mismanagement of the fish stocks and result in serious economic consequences for the respective fishing industries. For nearly five decades’ fishery managers and policy makers have used bio-economic models and methods as foundation for their management schemes. These models and methods are for the most based on the deductive methodology of economics where central assumptions are the metaphors of “equilibrium“ and “bio-economic equilibrium“. Models based on equilibrium theories are usually deterministic where dynamics of the markets are a meager part of the problem.Less attention has been offered to inductive reasoning and modeling within the field of fishery management. The inductive method of reasoning is often based on facts and actual observations within the industries, a methodology widely used by engineers and the field of business administration.In this paper, we introduce and integrate the concept of substitutability of economic resources into a traditional bio-economic model. The results show that fishery management, which bases decisions solely on traditional bio-economic models where the dynamics and consequences of the operational decision processes of the industry are ignored, may reach decisions that work opposite of their intention.

Full textAbstract:
This paper draws on research conducted for over a decade on the musical cultures of the New South Wales Far North Coast, as a contribution to debates in geography and popular music studies on the links between music, place and articulations of cultural identities. Patterns of migration and economic restructuring over the last 20 years have transformed the Far North Coast region, with associated changes in the images conjured to describe the region – from those centred on dairying, fishing and sugar harvesting to those of a ‘lifestyle’ or ‘alternative’ region, with growth in employment in tourism, recreational services, ‘gourmet’ agricultural production, culinary delights, homewares retail and the arts. Music has been a constant presence in the region throughout generations, but became much more pronounced after significant counter-urban migrations to the area began in the 1970s. As music emerged as a unique part of the cultural mix of the region, it became much more diverse, was entangled in local politics, and in the transitions and tensions that have surrounded successive waves of new migrants – both domestic and international – to the region. This article discusses music as a social practice within the region that has played a part in shaping and reflecting evolving regional identities; but at the same time, music constitutes a set of activities that unsettle notions of ‘boundedness’ or ‘stable’ associations between place identities and music. I begin with debates about the links between music, place and identity, and the extent to which such associations are performative – constituted in an embodied fashion in the process of describing and enacting certain cultural discourses. Two broad trends are outlined here as ‘storylines’: one focused on constructions of music as ‘authentic’ that are linked to place identities, the second emphasises mobility of musical languages, and network metaphors for the repetition of musical practices across locations. Interpretations of musical practices on the Far North Coast hold these storylines in tension; one focused on ‘fixing’ musical practices in place, the other emphasizing the fluidity of ‘the region’ in a wider musical geography.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter poses a complicated philosophic question: Are ecosystems complex, natural wholes that involve interdependent, dynamically interrelated, and interactive parts, or are they abstract conceptions in the human mind, lacking in any independent natural reality? This question is difficult since human beings are creatures with one foot in natural reality and another foot in metaphorical thought. The answer given comes in the form of a story of trout fishing on the Little Snake River and an encounter with a large trout, a wise old survivor that the author calls Big Little Snake. The encounter with Big Little Snake was concrete when it happened, but later in memory and reflection it has become a metaphor for a rich and abundant nature. The unanswerable question becomes a practical insight. Human beings need nature and our fellow living creatures for the metaphoric opportunities that they afford. To impoverish the biological diversity of the natural world is to impoverish our own humanity as well.

Full textAbstract:
Recalling a philosophical insight gained by a pond after a day of fishing in Wisconsin, this chapter uses a frog pond as a metaphor for a conception of nature lost in modern mechanist science but recovered by Darwin and other thinkers who adopt an evolutionary and ecosystemic perspective, such as Aldo Leopold. The mechanist universe is a play of forces that communicate no meaning or “sound.” The frog pond is orchestra-like—is alive, communicative, and filled with significance to be interpreted and heard. But human beings are not in tune with this reality. Careless human activities are threatening the integrity, perhaps the very continuation, of its complex music.

Full textAbstract:
Remaining agnostic about the question of authenticity, this chapter argues that the Halieutica is a pronouncedly ‘Ovidian’ poem. As a didactic poem, it sits well alongside Ovid’s erotodidactic oeuvre, and, like those texts, it expertly wields the traditional tropes of the genre while also mildly parodying them. The stress on ars also fits well with Ovid’s preoccupation with art, artistry, and artfulness throughout his career. In the Halieutica, fishermen need to rely on ars for the very reason that fish, too, are characterized by craftiness and deceit: pursuer and pursued are equally matched and engaged, as it were, in a battle of wits. This is reminiscent of the hunting, fowling, and fishing of the Ars amatoria. Re-semanticizing a dead metaphor is a typical Ovidian move, and the implied anthropology of the Halieutica—that man is essentially a homo artifex—is germane to Ovid’s world view.

There was a time when the name Dolmabahçe (or “covered garden” in Turkish) carried no metaphoric significance. For much of history, it was simply a name given to a quaint glen bordering the western shores of the Bosphorus Straits. Lying just north of the walled confines of Istanbul, Dolmabahçe (or Iason in Greek) hugged a stretch of shallow water suitable for fishing boats as well as warships. The name took on a more exclusive, regal air in the early seventeenth century with the construction of a small imperial residence along its banks. Little is known about the interior or design of this palace, dubbed Beşiktaş by its proprietor, Sultan Selim II. The resonate significance and beauty associated with the home came more from the gardens cultivated in and around the building. A British visitor insisted that the palace, while “gay with paint and bright with gold,” yielded its place to a warm collection of “groves and kiosques overhanging the water.”...

Full textAbstract:
This book is written with the knowledge that serious cancer will foreshorten the author’s life. It is an expression of a life of exploring ideas and nature. And it is an affirmation of the essential unity of human beings and a natural order that is valuable and good. Following Alfred North Whitehead, this order can be called “nature alive.” The author has been shaped by an impulse to explore the life of the mind and the recognition of his own fundamental ignorance. The writing and contents of the book are shaped by two themes. One, “living waters,” centres on the direct experience with the nonhuman world, particularly fly-fishing, and is a metaphor for the fact that the natural world is fluid and dynamic, not completed and static. The second theme is “magic mountains,” which refers to the influence that important philosophical thinkers have had on the author’s thinking and self-identity. Each chapter in the book is designed to reveal the development of this tradition of questions and ideas and to invite readers to carry that dialogue further in their own lives and minds.
