  • 2. We and They
    2. We and They Democracy is becoming rather than being. It can easily be lost, but never is fully won. Its essence is eternal struggle. WILLIAM H. HASTIE OVERVIEW Chapter 1 focused on factors that shape an individual’s identity. It also described how those factors are sometimes used to exclude people from membership in various groups. Chapter 2 considers the ways a nation’s identity is defined. That definition has enormous significance. It indicates who holds power in the nation. And it determines who is a part of its “universe of obligation” – the name Helen Fein has given to the circle of individuals and groups “toward whom obligations are owed, to whom rules apply, and whose injuries call for [amends].”1 For much of world history, birth determined who was a part of a group’s “universe of obligation” and who was not. As Jacob Bronowski once explained, “The distinction [between self and other] emerges in prehistory in hunting cultures, where competition for limited numbers of food sources requires a clear demarcation between your group and the other group, and this is transferred to agricultural communities in the development of history. Historically this distinction becomes a comparative category in which one judges how like us, or unlike us, is the other, thus enabling people symbolically to organize and divide up their worlds and structure reality.”2 This chapter explores the power of those classifications and labels. As legal scholar Martha Minow has pointed out, “When we identify one thing as like the others, we are not merely classifying the world; we are investing particular classifications with consequences and positioning ourselves in relation to those meanings.

  • Prototypicality Among Metaphors: on the Relative Frequency of Personification and Spatial Metaphors in Literature Written for Children Versus Adults
    METAPHOR AND SYMBOLIC ACTIVITY, 1(2), 87-107 Copyright © 1986, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Prototypicality Among Metaphors: On the Relative Frequency of Personification and Spatial Metaphors in Literature Written for Children Versus Adults Donald G. MacKay University ofCalifornia This paper argues that personification is the prototypical metaphor and that it occurs more frequently than other metaphors, especially during the early stages of child development. The paper also argues that personification comes dis­ guised in many other figurative devices (metonymy, spatial metaphors, and container metaphors) and syntactic expressions (frozen word orders and the nominal gender marking that is obligatory in languages such as French and Ger­ man) and that it pervades many other aspects of human cognition (including fundamental philosophical frameworks such as objectivism and subjectivism). The main source of data is a frequency analysis of personification and spatial metaphors in two samples of poetry: one written for adults, the other for chil­ dren. I categorized the topic and vehicle of each metaphor as either human or nonhuman and spatial or nonspatial and found that spatial topics and vehicles were relatively infrequent. Personifications (nonhuman topic-human vehicle) were much more common in both samples and were relatively more frequent in the sample written for children. Explanations of this developmental difference are proposed, based on the cognitive and social functions of personification in literature written for children versus adults. The importance of studying the comprehension and use of metaphor is by now widely recognized. As Lakoff and Johnson (1980) pointed out, meta­ phor is so pervasive in everyday language, thought, and action that the con­ ceptual system by which we perceive, think, and act must be fundamentally Requests for reprints should be sent to Donald G.

Although the Church has engaged in numerous attempts to remedy racism, theology still seems to witness to a God that stands relatively unopposed to the status quo of racial injustice and marginalization. This dissertation begins with the claim that Christian theology still operates from the normativity of whiteness. I will argue that, although the Church has made admirable progress with regard to racial justice, the attempts have been at the surface: the underlying structural logic of White supremacy remains intact. My thesis will be that the systemic problem in North American Christianity of a persistent “White privileged theology” or “normalized whiteness” can best be eliminated by constructing a theological response in classical categories—theodicy, anthropology, and epistemology.
