Introduction 3 Shakespeare is one of the most re- biguous for philosophical or scientific markable storytellers that the world has discourse. Unfortunately, metaphor has ever known. He is the creator of many long been acknowledged as a purely lin- greatest, textbook examples of meta- guistic device in the realm of poets to phors; he used metaphors so skillfully write things that could also be expressed and elegantly that the readers were im- in literal ways. This “romantic” view on mersed in very rich, imaginative, deep metaphors was subjected to a radical yet familiar stories and poems. Yet Jess shift by the formation of the linguis- is naïve, if not ignorant, to consider tics and psycholinguistics disciplines. him as the “inventor” of metaphor. As a Since then, there has been a growing matter of fact, metaphors exist long way recognition that the use of metaphors is before Shakespeare’s birth; they have a not confined to spoken or written lan- history that goes back at least to the era guage, but metaphors underlie how we of Aristotle (1895/2008). Traditionally, think, reason, and imagine in everyday metaphor is seen as a rhetorical figure life (Gibbs, 1994; Lakoff & Johnson, of speech through which one thing is 1980; Sweetser, 1990; Turner, 1998). described in terms of another, as when This means that the metaphors we use our Shakespeare states “All the world’s a are the surfacing of the primary ways in stage” to point out the mechanics of life. which we conceptualize the world (El Metaphor is so prevalent in all languages Refaie, 2003). We “think” metaphori- that we utter about one metaphor for cally. We structure and experience many every ten to twenty-five words, or about concepts, especially abstract ones such as six metaphors a minute (Graesser, Long time, emotion, and spatial orientation, & Mio, 1989). Even the American Sign in terms of metaphor (Kövecses, 2010; Language makes use of metaphors as fre- Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Reddy, 1979). quently as spoken English (Taub, 2004). These arguments stress Ortony’s (1975) claim that “metaphors are necessary and Aristotle (1895/2008) considered meta- not just nice” (p. 45). Metaphor is pre- phor as an ornament of language, which sent in all fields of human endeavor. As is appropriate for poetry but too am- Geary (2011) pertinently puts forward, 4 “Metaphor conditions our interpretations of the stock market and, through advertising, it surreptitiously infiltrates our pur- chasing decisions. In the mouths of politicians, metaphor subtly nudges public opinion; in the minds of businesspeople, it spurs creativity and innovation. In science, metaphor is the preferred nomenclature for new theories and new discoveries; in psychol- ogy, it is the natural language of human relationships and emo- tions.” (p. 3) Realizing the power of metaphor to underlie human cognition paved the way for studying not only the metaphorical expressions found in different kinds of dis- course that Geary listed, but also the ones that are nonverbal in nature. As Gibbs (2008) proudly pointed out in his “state-of-art” overview on metaphor, metaphor research is now as multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary as any topic being studied in contemporary academia. Scholars from various fields investigate the functions and meanings of metaphor in relation to art (Aldrich, 1968; Feinstein, 1985; Ken- nedy, 2008), architecture (Casakin, 2007, 2011), gestures (Cienki & Müller, 2008), political cartoons (El Refaie, 2003), comics (Forceville, 2005), mathematics (Lakoff & Núñez, 2000), music (Zbikowski, 2008), cinema (Carroll, 1996), advertisements (Forceville, 2002, 2008; Phillips & McQuarrie, 2004), interface and software design (Blackwell, 2006; Fishkin, 2004; Hurtienne & Blessing, 2008), and even hobby horses (Gombrich, 1963)! The reason that metaphor is considered as a relevant and eminent subject matter to study in all these diverse fields lies in its power to integrate disparate entities and bring new perspectives into existence by allowing us to “understanding and expe- riencing one kind of thing in terms of another” (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, p. 3). This is the textbook definition of metaphor, which rightly turns up in almost every contemporary academic treatment of the subject. When Shakespeare defines the world as a stage, he urges us to perceive our lives anew from the viewpoint of a play in order to highlight its certain aspects (e.g. it is fleeting, we all make entrances and exits, we all play different roles, and so on). In literary parlance, the world is called the metaphor’s “target”, which is the thing we aim to define, and the stage is called its “source”, the thing that is associated with the target to assign a novel meaning to it. This terminology fits well with the etymology of the word “metaphor” itself. Derived from the Greek words meta, meaning “over”, “across”, or “beyond”, and pherō, meaning “to carry”, the literal meaning of meta- phor is “to carry over” (“Metaphor”, 2013, “Etymology”, para. 1), as Shakespeare carried over the most salient properties of a stage/play to the world in order to define it. Correspondingly, in my mother tongue Turkish—a language that belongs to a different family than Indo-European languages—the word for metaphor is “mecaz”. This word was adopted from Arabic “macāz”, which suitably means a “bridge”, as in a metaphor builds a meaning bridge between two distinct entities such as the world and a stage. 00. Introduction When we bridge two entities, we match what we know about the source with what 5 we do not know about the target. In this way, certain aspects of each are illuminated, others are downplayed, as well as new insights emerge and deeper levels of meaning are tapped. For this reason, metaphors are often referred to as the cognitive instru- ments used by “creative artists” to build relationships that urge us see things in a new light (Cupchik, 2003). This thesis – Metaphors we design by Product designers are one group of these creative artists who frequently resort to metaphors to exhibit original and aesthetic solutions to design problems. They may use metaphors as a tool or method in the design process, which help to identify, frame and solve design problems (Casakin, 2011; Hey, Linsey, Agogino & Wood, 2008; Kirsi, Ella & Turkka, 2009; Schön, 1979), break away from the limitations imposed by problem constraints (Casakin, 2007), justifying design decisions (Mad- sen, 1994), develop products that resonate with users (Kolb, Hey, Sebastian & Ago- gino, 2008), map users’ reactions to a product (Hey et al., 2008), create an intuitive language within a design team to perceive design objectives from alternative angles (Kirsi et al., 2009), and reason about the nature of a design process (e.g., design as search or design as exploration; Hey et al., 2008); or they can use metaphors in the end product as a means to render the values and meanings they want to assign to a product into a physical form.

  • Goulburn Heritage Walk
    INTRODUCTION TO GOULBURN The land that Goulburn was settled on was first passed by Hamilton Hume and John Meehan in 1818. Two years A SELF-GUIDED later Governor Macquarie declared the countryside fit for settlement under the name ‘Goulburn Plains’. HERITAGE TOUR The plans for the township were originally laid out closer to the property of Riversdale but were soon relocated to the current location in 1832-3. This was due to the previous locations’ low-lying land being prone to flooding. After being settled the City benefited from the wool industry, a short-lived nearby gold rush, and the developm ent of the rail system. On 14th March 1863 Queen Victoria wrote her last royal letters patent and Goulburn was declared the first inland city in Australia. By the 1880s Goulburn was the second biggest city in NSW, behind Sydney. Many of the buildings remaining from this time illustrate that Goulburn was a very wealthy city in its prime.

A conference between the District Surveyor and the Railway Traffic Branch led to Coolamon being suggested and agreed to by all parties. "Coolamon" is an aboriginal name meaning "dish or vessel for holding food or water". A plan showing the northern boundary of Coolemon (Coolamon) Holes Run in 1870 shows a cluster of numerous water holes which he referred to as Coolamon Holes. This was the native name given to the holes and the origin of the name as applied today. The name being finalised and the extent of the village and suburban boundaries fixed, the village of Coolamon was gazetted on 3rd October, 1881.

  • WEST's COFFEE PALACE (Former Grant's Coffee Palace; Former Austral Stores)
    Heritage of the City of Adelaide WEST'S COFFEE PALACE (Former Grant's Coffee Palace; Former Austral Stores) 104-120 Hindley Street In the early days of the colony, Hindley and Rundle streets through to North Terrace contained the greatest concentration of both commercial and residential development in Adelaide. Although the residential component has now all but disappeared, West's Coffee Palace stands as a reminder of the important commercial and residential function of Hindley Street and provides a striking example of its architectural diversity and former splendour. In the boom years of the late 1870s Hindley Street was transformed from a piecemeal collection of buildings into an elegantly terraced street lined with buildings of strong architectural character, often with deep balconies. West's Coffee Palace was built in 1903 during another period of renewed prosperity in the city. Its extensive use of stuccoed dressings, brick and Marseilles tiles is tied to the Edwardian period and the eclectic approach to design by architects of this era. #B E AC 11# D :\P H O TO _ C D \IM AG E S \IM G 0091.P C D 634330413 964 869704541 869704541 P B 4 0 9 10 345 233 0 (CD Ref 3964/91) Leopold Conrad, for whom the complex was erected, began trading in Hindley Street in 1869 as a butcher and smallgoods manufacturer.

  • Three Boys LIVING in LAKE STREET 1941---1967 Con Christ
    Three boys LIVING IN LAKE STREET 1941---1967 Con Christ 1 This is the story of three boys who grew up in Lake Street, Perth in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. But first, a little of our background: Our Grandfather, Argyrios Antione Bozinopoulous, known to everyone as “Pop” left the family home in North Western Greece to travel to Western Australia. His plan was to make a fortune then return to his homeland with enough money to buy lots of property. He left behind his wife, Anna, known to all as ‘Buba’, Kalliope his seven year old daughter, and Vangel his baby son. He would not see them for another fourteen years. Pop joined many other migrants from various parts of southern Europe travelling ‘cattle class’ in the Re d’Italia (‘King of Italy’). There was room for 120 first class passengers and 1200 third class (‘cattle class’) passengers. Pop finally landed in his newly adopted land on a hot summer Sunday, December 20, 1924. He was admitted to Australia under the name of Argyrios Antione Bousianoppolos and was taken to Woodman Point, Western Australia’s migrant reception centre at the time for a compulsory two week stay. In early January a truck came for the new migrants who were then taken to various places in mainly South Western Australia to assist in the government sponsored soldier/serviceman land allocation scheme known as the ‘Soldier Settlement Scheme’ which basically was to clear bush land ready for farming. Two years later he was involved in the running of the Macedonian House, situated at 242 William Street Perth which served as a café, hotel, social service unit, meeting place and a clearing house for new arrivals from the old country.
