Emotion Metaphors Related to the Source Domain HEAT/FIRE in Ancient Texts from Mesopotamia and Egypt
Get PDFThis study provides interdisciplinary insights into the conceptual metaphor emotion is HEAT/FIRE in ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian texts. Applying the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the article investigates instances of the conceptual metaphor emotion is HEAT/FIRE in Akkadian and ancient Egyptian, two languages of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Focusing on the emotions of love/desire as target domain, the study explores (dis)similarities in the metaphor’s uses and in the underlying conceptualisation of emotions in these two related languages. Case studies from both corpora reveal that ancient Egyptian and Akkadian texts employ a set of universal metaphors that are common cross-culturally/cross-linguistically and are grounded in bodily experience (including the metaphor the body is a container for emotions). However, the identified instances of the metaphor also display some culture-specific variations that are analysed through a close reading of the texts in their respective cultural contexts
“We must claim our space in the media noise”: : Older women’s views on media representation, the potential of social media, and the body-positive movement
No full textWhile the media often portrays older people, especially women, in a stereotypical and ageist way, social media, and especially the body-positive movement, can offer a way to improve representation. Through semi-structured interviews with older Swedish women who publish body-positive content online, this study aims to examine their views on the media representation of older women, the potential of social media and the body-positive movement, and their own participation.
Two opposing perspectives were expressed: a collectivist one highlighting structural explanations, such as different conditions for women and men. The most recurrent perspective, however, was the individualist one. The interviewees saw the lack of representation as the responsibility of women, who must claim their space. They did not identify with the body-positive movement or see their activity as part of it, but as an individual commitment. Their motives for participation often had to do with self-realization and financial gain. The individualist perspective can be tied to a neoliberal ideology that emphasizes individuals’ freedom and responsibility. This focus makes those who are subjected to oppression deny structural aspects, place the responsibility to solve the situation on themselves, and abstain from collective action. While participation can result in more visibility for older women, its form thus risks eroding the potential for change

No full textFanlations und Fandom als transkulturelle Handlungsräume: Die Rolle von Übersetzer*innen in anglophonen GL und BL Fangemeinschaften
Get PDFAuch in Fandoms findet Übersetzungsarbeit statt, die oft von Fans selbst durchgeführt wird. In dem Essay befassen wir uns mit diesen sogenannten Fanlations im Rahmen von anglophonen Fangemeinschaften queerer ostasiatischer Medien. Hierfür gehen wir mit zwei Fallbeispielen – dem japanischen Girls’ Love (GL) Manga „The Guy She Was Interested in, Wasn’t a Guy at All“ und der chinesischen Boys’ Love (BL) Fernsehserie „Word of Honor“ – auf verschiedene Übersetzungsmethoden und Formen kollektiver Translationspraktiken ein
圖表中的社會: 20世紀初山西省統計工作的實踐
No full textWhile no census was ever successfully completed for all of China under the Republic, the poor province of Shanxi, ruled by warlord Yan Xishan, published new population statistics every year from 1919. The province\u27s Statistical Office not only consistently collected various statistical data, it was also a pioneer with respect to graphical statistics. Why did Shanxi produce so many statistics? Who produced them, and for what purpose? How did they figure into the modernisation and state-building attempts by Yan Xishan? What can we learn about his concerns regarding the population from the collected statistical materials? How is statistical knowledge and information made visible in statistical diagrams, what meaning is created, and which arguments are made through visual semantics? To tackle these questions, we examine relevant actors and institutions, closely read Yan Xishan’s preface to the earliest population statistics published in Shanxi, and finally look at the statistics and graphics published there between 1919 and 1931.
民國時期，儘管民國政府未完成全國人口普查，但閻錫山治下的山西省不僅持續收集統計資料，更以圖形統計的實踐領先全國。本研究通過分析原始資料、圖表及閻錫山親撰序言，探究其統計機制、實施主體及政治意圖。我們發現其圖表設計存在實驗性和不確定性，且凸顯出鮮明的政治邏輯——通過視覺化手段，將資料轉化為直觀的治理工具。統計圖以視覺秩序重構龐雜資訊，既服務于人口管控與國家能力建設，亦成為閻錫山推行地方現代化的話語載體。民國時期，儘管民國政府未完成全國人口普查，但閻錫山治下的山西省不僅持續收集統計資料，更以圖形統計的實踐領先全國。本研究通過分析原始資料、圖表及閻錫山親撰序言，探究其統計機制、實施主體及政治意圖。我們發現其圖表設計存在實驗性和不確定性，且凸顯出鮮明的政治邏輯——通過視覺化手段，將資料轉化為直觀的治理工具。統計圖以視覺秩序重構龐雜資訊，既服務于人口管控與國家能力建設，亦成為閻錫山推行地方現代化的話語載體
