Abstract:
The symbolism of hazel in Polish folk culture. A fragment of cognitive definitionThe article discusses the symbolism of the hazel plant which constitute a segment (one facet) of the cognitive definition of a hazel bush. The symbolism of the hazel is a category which terminate and gather in together other facets constituting the entry ‘Hezel’ in the Lublin ethnolinguistics dictionary (Słownik stereotypów i symboli ludowych, red. J. Bartmiński, S. Niebrzegowska-Bartmińska): i.e. the plants’ provenance, image, time and place of flourishing; its magical, apotropaical, therapeutical, ritual and practical use etc. The symbol is thus – next to the stereotype – the second key concept in this dictionary. The author shows the different symbolic meanings attributed to hazel in Polish folk culture – the symbolism of the space tree, the symbolism of sacredness, a symbol of life, duration, recovery and growth; symbol of power and health, the symbolism of fertility and abundance, and a symbol of girl. Symbolika leszczyny w polskiej kulturze ludowej. Fragment definicji kognitywnejW artykule omówiona została symbolika leszczyny stanowiąca wycinek (jedną fasetę) definicji kognitywnej leszczynowego krzewu. Symbolika leszczyny jest kategorią, która wieńczy hasło, bazując na pozostałych fasetach - dotyczących m. in. pochodzenia, wyglądu, czasu i miejsca kwitnienia, zastosowania apotropeicznego, magicznego, leczniczego, obrzędowego i praktycznego - spina je wspólną klamrą. Symbol jest bowiem, obok stereotypu, drugim kluczowym pojęciem w lubelskim słowniku etnolingwistycznym (Słownik stereotypów i symboli ludowych, red. J. Bartmiński, S. Niebrzegowska-Bartmińska). Autorka prezentuje różne sensy symboliczne przypisywane w polskiej kulturze ludowej leszczynie – symbolikę drzewa kosmicznego; symbolikę świętości; symbol życia, trwania, regeneracji i wzrastania; symbol mocy i zdrowia, symbolikę płodności i obfitości oraz symbol dziewczyny.

Abstract:
In this article the question is posed whether one is justified in associating N.P. van Wyk Louw’s work with Symbolism as seen in terms of its being a historical art movement. At first sight some of the main characteristics of his work seem incompatible with the overall spirit of Symbolism. A close look is taken at these characteristics. They are weighed against typical characteristics of Symbolism. A number of common traits are discovered. Following this, a study of Van Wyk Louw’s utterances in his prose works is undertaken to establish the extent of his knowledge of the works of Symbolists and of Symbolism as such, The unfolding history of his contact with their work and with Symbolism is traced. Some revealing relations are uncovered. Having established a number of definite Symbolist traits in his work, his poetical oeuvre is projected against the set of fundamental characteristics of Symbolism as a phenomenon identified by S. Dresden in his book Symbolisme (1980). Seen at against this background, the range of symbolist features in his work shows up clearly. The conclusion reached is that Van Wyk Louw so thoroughly absorbed those characteristics of Symbolism that corresponded with his own creative personality that they have blended almost imperceptibly with the rest of his oeuvre, thereby creating the impression that they are fully native to his work.

Abstract:
The paper presents an interpretation of Joyce’s work as symbolist. After outlining the history of the codification of Joyce’s works, V.M. Tolmatchoff proposed to return to the advantages of Joyce’s vision as a symbolist, proposed in general terms by E. Wilson in 1931. This symbolism, declared by Irish authors in the twentieth century and systematically realized by Joyce, genetically goes back not only to the practice of the French Symbolist poets, W.B. Yeats, as well as to the experience of the ‘death of God’ declared by Nietzsche (who shifted the understanding of symbolism from the reform of obsolete poetics to the “crisis of the European spirit” and the corresponding absolute purpose of the artist whose purely individual poetic vision forms new boundaries of the world, of things), but - more broadly - to the Romantic origins of non-classical culture. Joyce extends F. Schlegel’s dream of the boundlessness of poetry to the novel. In his performance it becomes a complex sum of personal biography, reading of symbolists (and authors drawn by them into their orbit), processing of the variants of symbolism available at the beginning of the twentieth century, synthetics of personal symbolism, in whose framework the contradictions between naturalism, symbolism as such, avant-gardisms, mass culture are removed and the central symbolist problematic of the transformation of the old world by the vitality of creativity is emphasized. In the framework of this interpretation of symbolism, the paper considers Ulysses: Joyce’s interpretation of the parody of sacred by profane, erotics, the problem of sex, luciferianism, Ibsen’s material and the relationship between the main characters, which allows us to see Ulysses as a symbolist novel on creativity.

Abstract:
This article is an attempt to relate the first three of Wilma Stockenstrom's collections of poetry to international Symbolism. First we discuss possible links between her work and Symbolism. The mam emphasis then falls on Stockenstrom’s method of Symbolism, the possible symbolist tone of her work and prominent symbolist motifs in her work. Finally we consider some manifestations of the symbolist oilier world in these collections. The conclusion arrived at is that Stockenstrom's earlier work shows many of the main characteristics of Symbolism so that her work can be regarded as a continuation of the symbolist tradition. This tradition undergoes three important transformations in her work: the European world of symbolist poetry is replaced by an archeologically rich but mute African world, modern science and technology replaces the medieval system of reference of Symbolism, and sound and musicality p la y a much smaller part in Stockenstrom's poetry. Stockenstrom's cynical, ironic tone, the use of opaque kafkaesque symbols, her emphasis on tentative visions, her distrust of language and her tendency to relativize frames of reference in the endings of her poems, show that Stockenstrom's poetry has already crossed the boundary to Modernism.

Abstract:
In the 1910s in the Georgian literary area the first Symbolist group TsisperiQantsebi (The Blue Horns) comes into being, with a clearly defined purpose and aesthetic position, which implied renewing the Georgian literature and including it into the Western context. Desiring to expand the thought area and to modernize Georgian literature, Georgian Symbolists rested on the philosophical and worldview principles of French Symbolism. Georgian Symbolism appears as an original invariant generated from the French Symbolist aesthetics, which is unequivocally national.

Chou, Yun-Hsin. "Servicescape symbolism." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2012. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/57199/1/Yun-Hsin_Chou_Thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
In order to drive sustainable financial profitability, service firms make significant investments in creating service environments that consumers will prefer over the environments of their competitors. To date, servicescape research is over-focused on understanding consumers’ emotional and physiological responses to servicescape attributes, rather than taking a holistic view of how consumers cognitively interpret servicescapes. This thesis argues that consumers will cognitively ascribe symbolic meanings to servicescapes and then evaluate if those meanings are congruent with their sense of Self in order to form a preference for a servicescape. Consequently, this thesis takes a Self Theory approach to servicescape symbolism to address the following broad research question: How do ascribed symbolic meanings influence servicescape preference? Using a three-study, mixed-method approach, this thesis investigates the symbolic meanings consumers ascribe to servicescapes and empirically tests whether the joint effects of congruence between consumer Self and the symbolic meanings ascribed to servicescapes influence consumers’ servicescape preference. First, Study One identifies the symbolic meanings ascribed to salient servicescape attributes using a combination of repertory tests and laddering techniques within 19 semi-structured individual depth interviews. Study Two modifies an existing scale to create a symbolic servicescape meaning scale in order to measure the symbolic meanings ascribed to servicescapes. Finally, Study Three utilises the Self-Congruity Model to empirically examine the joint effects of consumer Self and servicescape on consumers’ preference for servicescapes. Using polynomial regression with response surface analysis, 14 joint effect models demonstrate that both Self-Servicescape incongruity and congruity influence consumers’ preference for servicescapes. Combined, the findings of three studies suggest that the symbolic meanings ascribed to servicescapes and their (in)congruities with consumers’ sense of self can be used to predict consumers’ preferences for servicescapes. These findings have several key theoretical and practical contributions to services marketing.

<p>Syftet med denna examensuppsats var att fördjupa oss i de bibliska symbolerna och försöka återfinna dem i barnlitteratur. Vi bestämde oss för att utgå ifrån barnboken Bröderna Lejonhjärta, av Astrid Lindgren. Det vi ville undersöka i texten var, förutom de bibliska symbolerna, om vi kunde finna tecken på en viss struktur och vissa skrivramar. Om så var fallet, härstammade de från Bibeln? Vi har arbetat med textanalys som metod för att få fram det vi sökte, men även tagit hjälp av tidigare forskning. Genom diskussioner och analyser kom vi bland annat fram till följande:</p><ul><li>Biblisk symbolism förekom</li><li>Skrivramarna var tydliga</li><li>Berättelsens struktur vilar på en trygg grund</li></ul><p>I diskussionen har vi tagit upp betydelsen av trygghetsgestalter i barnlitteratur och hur viktiga vi tror att dessa gestalter är. Vi har också diskuterat andra former av strukturskrivande och på vilket sätt detta kan framställas i en text.</p><br>Examensarbete på Barn- och ungdomspedagogiska programmet vt 2001.

Abstract:
This research project is about symbolism and semiotics (the science of signs) in digital-games. There’s firstly introductory information about what symbolism and semiotics are and the different aspects of them that is needed to fully understand the subject. These are things such as the two parts of a sign, signifier and signifier as well as the three modes of signs, symbolic, iconic and indexical. Then there’s information about how this is all put together in a digital game, that a game isn’t playable without some form of signs and that besides making the game playable it is used to enhance the characters, story and experience for the player. How this is used in a more practical way is mentioned further to the end with the different approaches of working with symbolism in games. There’s either being subtle or making symbolism the main focus of the game. Through all this there’s also the importance of considering your audience and if they will understand your signs that is talked about.

Abstract:
Organisationer har som utmaning att hitta styrmedel som resulterar i att deras medlemmars beteende är i enlighet med deras mål och strategier. I vanliga fall undersöker man traditionella styrmedel som cybernetisk styrning och finansiell fokus. Denna studie utforskar hur organisationskulturen påverkar styrningen och mer specifikt hur organisationer använder sig av symbolism i form av riter som styrmedel för att uppnå sina strategier och mål. Trice och Beyers sex typer av riter och Dandridges et al.:s modell för symboler används som teoretisk referensram för studien. Sex personer från olika delar inom en och samma organisation intervjuades för att ge en inblick i vilka riter som fanns samt vad de används till. Resultaten visade att 1) symboler som används vid riter och ritualer ansågs vara en av de avgörande faktorerna till varför anställda tänker och agerar på ett sätt som är i linje med organisationens mål och strategier, 2) att en och samma rit kunde ha olika kategoriseringar, samt 3) att det vid vissa tillfällen kan vara önskvärt för ledare att undvika olika typer av riter, framför allt när man vill främja kreativitet och fritt tänkande.

Abstract:
I am interested in communication through symbolism. The symbols that I incorporate in my mixed media work are simplified into essential lines and shapes. I use the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life diagram as a structure to hold my own personal symbols. These symbols are my interpretation of the phases of life. I also use prehistoric symbols such as the spiral, circle, square, triangle, and cross as a focus to emphasize the beauty of these very basic lines and shapes which we see all around our world. To emphasize the beauty of symbols I use repetition, color, and texture. Life is overwhelming and chaotic at times. Having simplicity in my visual surroundings creates a sense of tranquility and contentment. I aim to convey these feelings to the viewer while having them interpret what the symbols mean to them.

Full text
Abstract:
Évoquer l'existence d'un imaginaire photographique pose un problème d'ordre idéologique quant au statut de la photographie. Pour tenter de démontrer l'existence de cet imaginaire, il faut se pencher sur un mouvement qui, en son temps, réfléchit à cette notion de manière fondamentale: le mouvement symboliste. Aussi est-il nécessaire de se demander en quoi le symbolisme est fondateur de l’imaginaire photographique ? A cette époque la photographie est largement intégrée dans un système positiviste, elle est la technique scientifique d’enregistrement par excellence, ayant pour trait caractéristique la mise hors circuit de la subjectivité de l’observateur. Le symbolisme, quant à lui, est à son apogée, autour des années 1880-90. Il va opposer au principe scientifique de classification, fondé sur la séparation et la différence, une conception philosophique tournée vers la recherche d’unité. Or les symbolistes, vont se servir de l’outil photographique. D’une part, ils réinvestissent d’un imaginaire et d’un esprit critique les photographies les plus scientifiques et « objectives » de l’époque. D’autre part certains deviennent eux-mêmes photographes et vont instituer la photographie comme une véritable expérience créatrice et poétique. Ces concepts demeurent plus ou moins vifs sur le long terme. Un ensemble de symboles et de démarches ont été réinvestis par la révolution surréaliste. Ceux-ci restent présents et fondateurs de la photographie contemporaine par leur réactualisation. Cette dernière ferait véritablement appel aux potentiels de l’imaginaire photographique déjà mis en place par le Symbolisme, remettant dès lors en question la manière impérialiste de voir et concevoir le réel. Le but de cette recherche, n’est pas d’affirmer que toute photographie est symboliste mais de déterminer quelle peut être aujourd’hui l’influence du symbolisme en photographie, à travers la mise en œuvre de concepts communs. Cette recherche se fonde sur une interrogation concernant l’imaginaire photographique<br>To refer to the existence of a photographical imagination arises an ideological issue when bringing the status of photography into question. To try to demonstrate the existence of this imagination; consideration should be given to a movement fundamentally reflecting the notion of the symbolist movement. Therefore, would it be necessary to consider how symbolism is founder of the photographical imagination? At that time, photography widely fits into a positivist system, it is the best recording scientific technique. Hence, photography has emerged from the middle of the 19th century as a new type of objectivity whose main characteristic is the exclusion of the observer's subjectivity. As for Symbolism, it reached its peak around 80-90s. It will oppose a searching for unity philosophical conception with scientific classification principle, based on separation and difference. Despite that, Symbolists have chosen to use the photographical tool. On the one hand, they took into account the most scientific and objective photographs over that period in relation with imagination and critical acumen. On the other hand, some of them became themselves photographers and will even institute photography as a real creative and practical experience. However, these concepts remain more or less alive on the long run. A set of symbols and methods were taken into account by the surrealist revolution. Those remain present at the origin of the contemporary photography by their re-actualization. The contemporary photography would really require the photographical imagination potential that were already set up by Symbolism. Therefore, the imperialist way of feeling and imagining reality would be thrown back into question. The aim of this research is not to assert that photography is symbolist but to determine which influence of symbolism about photography may currently be through the use of common concepts. All in all, this research is based on questioning about the photographical imagination

Abstract:
This paper examines the use of symbolism when companies communicate through advertisement. This is done by using a symbolic interactionist and dramaturgical approach to the use of symbols in advertisements. The field of previous research has also been studied and taken into consideration when analyzing the advertisements. The setup of this study is a unique combination between the field of social psychology and marketing. The base perspective of Blumers symbolic interactionism and Goffmans dramaturgy is used when examining how symbolism are used by companies in advertisements. This is where the study’s uniqueness comes from. Although previous research has touched the topic, none have looked at symbolism in marketing this way. The aim of this study is to contribute with research that brings knowledge to the field of both social psychology and marketing. The analysis of the advertisements shows that all the companies use symbolism in different ways to communicate their intended message. A consistent way that symbolism is used through the different advertisements is by connecting the symbolism of everyday situations to the company or their products. Through symbolic messaging the advertisements proved to also attempt to imbue the products with a symbolic meaning. Additional ways that symbolism is used in advertising are discussed thoroughly in the paper.

Abstract:
In the final book of the Georgics, Virgil digresses into a nostalgic and regretful explanation of his inability to include a proper discussion of gardening because he is spatiis exclusus iniquis (147). Often deemed “the skeleton of a fifth book of the Georgics” the exact meaning and intent behind this passage is still largely contested. In this paper I will attempt to de-strange this passage by examining it philosophically and allegorically, particularly by means of numerical symbolism.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the issue of organizational symbolism, which is frequently encountered in business life, and its meaning in the tourism industry. Symbols are the most apparent and observable aspects of organizational life; simultaneously, symbolic elements are the most subtle and comprehensive. Due to the nature of the hospitality sector, the workflow takes place instantaneously. Therefore, employees, managers, and tourists search for some of the generally accepted symbols used in the organisation during this rapid workflow. If symbols are removed from this relationship, communication suffers and as a result harms the overall functioning of the organization. This chapter proposes that it is important to look at the origins of the organizational symbolism and to comprehend the role of symbols in the tourism industry. In this sense, this chapter should be seen primarily as an effort to review and systematize the overall understanding of organizational symbols in the tourism industry.

Abstract:
The chapter examines the use of symbolism by three critics: Charles Feidelson, Marius Bewley, and Richard Poirier. For all three, the critique carried out by symbolism, refusing the division of the real and the unreal, content and style, allowing the latter to suffuse the former, becomes a visionary hopefulness. The imaginative eccentricities of literary form, mirroring the symbolic practices of urban homosexual subcultures, are what bring people to literature not just as an escape from everyday life but as speculations about a world differently configured. Faced with Cold War homophobia, these critics turned to issues of secrecy, suffering, and fellowship, making symbolism into a form of queer world making. When symbols open up a reflective space in the closed surface of reason or convention, they reveal an aspiration that is also a speculative disposition, suggesting a not-yetness that gestures beyond the is-ness of painful realities. Symbols are at once familiar, quotidian, transgressive, and even erotic. They are a hopeful phenomenon, expressing a conviction that objects (and people) have a mystical something that gives them more than predictable significance, endowing them with a sense that the physical and the metaphysical exist in a dynamic simultaneity. This is what, for these critics, makes symbolism queer.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter discusses the use of the terms symbols, symbolism, and symboling in the archaeological literature. The lack of definition and any grounding in cognitive theory makes identifying prehistoric symbols and symboling more art than science. A multiplicity of claims from the literature highlight the tendency to claim almost any form from any period of prehistory as symbolic. After the problem is defined, an alternative approach is proposed. The alternative suggests grounding symbols and symboling in contemporary cognitive theory; this would permit the construct to be operationalized as qualities potentially discernable in prehistoric material forms. A multi-level construct is also proposed, one that is not only capable of differentiating symbolic cognition as exhibited by the human species today from the presumably non-symbolic cognition of contemporary non-human primates but which is also able to differentiate both from the emergent symboling capacities of ancestral hominins.

Abstract:
The Symbolist literary movement emerged in Romania in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily influenced by French Symbolism and the works of poets like Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Romanian Symbolism was characterized by a focus on subjective experience, mysticism, and the use of symbols and metaphors to convey deeper meanings. Prominent Romanian Symbolist poets and writers included George Bacovia, Ion Minulescu, and Alexandru Macedonski.

Abstract:
For centuries, humans used symbols to describe scenes, objects, and events. Some of the symbols have evolved into pictorial languages such as petroglyphs and Chinese. The rapidly growing Extended Reality (XR) technologies enable users to experience immersive photorealistic views with head-mounted displays, 3D projection screens, or holographic display panels. The purpose of Extended Reality (XR) is to make invisible to be visible to the user. In this study, we explore how to superimpose symbolic feedback to the user in forms of geometric shapes, trajectory traces, spectra image, semantic network, and multimodal alerts, including audio and tactile signals. We zoom into the laparoscopic surgery train as a case study for applications. Our preliminary experiment results show that the symbolism approach does not significantly increase the distraction of attention or computational load. We also found that Extended Reality, especially, multimodal alert would be a bridge between manual operations and autonomous operations.

Abstract:
Symbolic communication is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the meaning and function of symbols in the communication process. Within the framework of symbolic communication studies, symbols are seen as tools individuals employ to convey meanings and values. As a crucial cultural artifact and visual medium, film combines various symbolic elements—including imagery, sound, and plot—to create a distinctive and intricate symbolic system, thus conveying specific meanings through symbol construction. In the films of Angelopoulos, the allure of “symbolic symbolism” is reflected through flowing long shots, captivating mise-en-scène, the manipulation of time, layered spaces with poetic overlays, a blank film reel, the emergence of a giant sculpture hand from the sea, thundering trains, alienating narrative structures, obscure metaphorical symbols, and unique poetic aesthetics. These key elements encompass the crux of deciphering Angelopoulos’ films. The analysis of symbolic symbolism in Angelopoulos’ films can be approached from different perspectives.Firstly, one can utilize the basic model of symbolic communication as a framework for research. This model encompasses six elements that constitute any communicative event. These consist the elements of the speaker and listener, who are the primary participants in symbolic communication. The element of information represents the content conveyed through symbols. Code elements give form to information. In the process of communication, not only the information itself is needed, but also contact elements are needed. Contact media can take various forms. Additionally, both speaker and listener must share a context within which the transmitted information can be comprehended. In the context of Angelopoulos’ films, the films themselves function as the “speaker,” while the audience assumes the role of the “listener”. Furthermore, the specific film products and services constitute the information being communicated, embodying the purpose and communication needs. Contact pertains to the media and settings employed in film communication, while codes encompass the symbolic forms of film, such as words, sounds, images, and colors. Symbolic communication in film is additionally influenced by cultural, social, and historical backgrounds, which may cause symbols to assume differing meanings and interpretations within contexts and for distinct cultural audiences. Secondly, Bakhtin’s theory of symbols suggests that symbolic cognition involves a process of decoding, which comprises four cognitive stages: symbol perception, conceptual cognition, contextual cognition, and dynamic dialogue. By analyzing the narrative structure employed in Angelopoulos’ films, one can construct a word cloud of pertinent cognition through semi-structured interviews and literature research. This approach yields a discussion of the specific visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, and other symbolic symbolism techniques utilized within the functional spectrum of each narrative stage.In conclusion, the creation of symbolic meaning in Angelopoulos’ films, when viewed through the lens of symbolic communication, represents a multifaceted and diverse process. It encompasses the polysemy, combination, and organization of symbolic elements, alongside the influence of cultural, social, and historical backgrounds. An in-depth exploration of the construction of symbolic meaning in films enables a profound comprehension of the symbolic symbolism employed by Angelopoulos and the consequential impact and significance on the audience.

Abstract:
Both the classical psychoanalysis of S. Freud, and the modern analytical psychology of C.G. Jung pays considerable attention to the manifestation of numerical symbolism in the structure of human consciousness and the unconscious. The psychoanalysis founders were interested in the direct manifestation of numerical symbolism in the person’s emotional experiences, his dreams, trance states. C.G. Jung discovered an interesting pattern: the symbols of the quaternary occur 71 times in a series of four hundred dreams and came to the conclusion that its manifestations are associated with the manifestation of the unconscious forces, while the trinity manifestation in the European’s dreams is more likely to relate to associations that have a rational and cultural origin.

Blaxter, Tamsin, and Tara Garnett. Primed for power: a short cultural history of protein. TABLE, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56661/ba271ef5.

Full text
Abstract:
Protein has a singularly prominent place in discussions about food. It symbolises fitness, strength and masculinity, motherhood and care. It is the preferred macronutrient of affluence and education, the mark of a conscientious diet in wealthy countries and of wealth and success elsewhere. Through its association with livestock it stands for pastoral beauty and tradition. It is the high-tech food of science fiction, and in discussions of changing agricultural systems it is the pivotal nutrient around which good and bad futures revolve. There is no denying that we need protein and that engaging with how we produce and consume it is a crucial part of our response to the environmental crises. But discussions of these issues are affected by their cultural context—shaped by the power of protein. Given this, we argue that it is vital to map that cultural power and understand its origins. This paper explores the history of nutritional science and international development in the Global North with a focus on describing how protein gained its cultural meanings. Starting in the first half of the 19th century and running until the mid-1970s, it covers two previous periods when protein rose to singular prominence in food discourse: in the nutritional science of the late-19th century, and in international development in the post-war era. Many parallels emerge, both between these two eras and in comparison with the present day. We hope that this will help to illuminate where and why the symbolism and story of protein outpace the science—and so feed more nuanced dialogue about the future of food.

Abstract:
Homo sapiens, modern humans, are part of the order of Primates, which includes the diverse lemurs, lorises, monkeys and apes. Our family of primates, Hominidae, originated between 8 and 6 MYA in Africa. The evolution to modern Homo sapiens comprised both significant changes in physique/genetics (bipedalism, modern body form, increases in cognitive function) and lifestyle/culture (tool-use, symbolism, agriculture). Throughout our history, Homo sapiens has and continues to shape global biodiversity through the spread of disease and non-native species, overhunting and fire-use. In the accompanying exercise, students think about what defines the human species, humanity, and by extension, what distinguishes humans from other animals and forms of biodiversity. This exercise encourages students to consider the relationship between humans and global biodiversity, and reinforces the fact that human evolution is an ongoing and complex process. It can also be extended in order to have students consider the implications of their definitions of humanity today, and the way that society deals with these definitions.
