Thinking of clay with the body: multimodal metaphoric thought in a pottery workshop

Conceptual metaphors (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; 1999) shape the conceptualization of one type of experience, generally abstract or difficult to understand (target-domain), in terms of another, usually more basic or simple (source-domain). Multimodal metaphors (Forceville, 2006) emerge from the...

Perié, Alejandra cognición corporeizada metáfora conceptual pensamiento esquemático discurso artístico embodied cognition conceptual metaphor schematic thought artistic discourse Conceptual metaphors (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; 1999) shape the conceptualization of one type of experience, generally abstract or difficult to understand (target-domain), in terms of another, usually more basic or simple (source-domain). Multimodal metaphors (Forceville, 2006) emerge from the correlation between a source-domain, which expresses its content in one modality, and a target-domain, in another modality. In this study, part of the project named Pensar las Artes con el Cuerpo (SPI, UPC), we identified and analyzed the schematic thoughts (Mahler, 2023) mapped to the processes carried out by producers of art, crafts and design in the situated context of a pottery workshop. The most outstanding multimodal metaphors are THE PIECE OF POTTERY IS THE TEACHER and THE CLAY IS THE BODY, which articulate the explanations and guidelines. These are followed by THE TEMPERATURE IS VERTICALITY, THE PIECE OF POTTERY IS THE HAND or THE FIST, TOUCHING IS TURNING, THE HANDS ARE TOOLS, KNOWING IS SEEING and THE HEAD IS A CONTAINER, among others. Metaphorical thinking emerges spontaneously and dynamically in the prompts, practice and concept construal, serving different purposes especially dedicated to the construction and circulation of meanings relevant to the specific context of the workshop. Las metáforas conceptuales (Lakoff y Johnson, 1980; 1999) forjan la conceptualización de un tipo de experiencia, generalmente abstracta o difícil de comprender (dominio-destino), en términos de otra, habitualmente más básica o simple (dominio-origen). Las metáforas multimodales (Forceville, 2006) emergen de la correlación entre un dominio-origen, que expresa su contenido en una modalidad, y un dominio-destino, en otra modalidad. En esta indagación, que forma parte del proyecto Pensar las Artes con el Cuerpo (SPI, UPC), identificamos y analizamos el pensamiento esquemático (Mahler, 2023) proyectado a los procesos llevados a cabo por productores de arte, artesanía y diseño en el contexto situado de un taller de cerámica. Las metáforas multimodales más sobresalientes son LA PIEZA DE CERÁMICA ES LA PROFESORA y LA ARCILLA ES EL CUERPO, que articulan las explicaciones y las pautas. Les siguen LA TEMPERATURA ES VERTICALIDAD, LA PIEZA DE CERÁMICA ES LA MANO o EL PUÑO, TOCAR ES TORNEAR, LAS MANOS SON HERRAMIENTAS, CONOCER ES VER y LA CABEZA ES CONTENEDOR, entre otras. El pensamiento metafórico emerge espontánea y dinámicamente en las consignas, la práctica y la elaboración conceptual, sirviendo a diferentes fines especialmente ligados a la construcción y circulación de significados relevantes al contexto específico del taller.
