Wor(l)d‐Building: Simulation and Metaphor at the Mars Desert Research Station

Abstract

Using the framework of Critical Metaphor Analysis (Charteris‐Black 2004), this paper analyzes metaphorical production at an analog research campus—the Mars Desert Research Station. This analogy to the potential reality of human existence on Mars offers an opportunity to study language use as speakers “make sense” of their experiences in a simulated physical and social unknown. This process is key to understanding how metaphor functions to “wor(l)d‐build” by facilitating the cognitive processes that bridge human imagination and emergent reality. This research demonstrates that metaphor is not always about physical experience, but can be shaped by imagination. Subtle shifts in conceptions and expression, such as those prevalent in this study, are symptomatic of larger processes of knowing and potentially inhibiting knowledge about experience.

Three-Dimensional Structure Analysis of Urban Landscape Based on Big Data Technology and Digital Technology

“…Literature [7] conducted a detailed study on the nature of the essential matrix that can express the geometric constraint relationship. Literature [8] proposed the basic matrix, explained its basic properties, and solved the geometric constraint relationship between two images. e concept of the basic matrix was promoted, and the theory of multiview geometry continued to develop and grow.…”

Building Structure Simulation System Based on BIM and Computer Model

“…Literature [10] studied the impact of the dynamic load on the temporary load-bearing system caused by a small mobile dump truck that transports concrete when driving on a newly poured concrete floor. After conducting a large-scale field survey and statistical analysis, literature [11] summarized the law of construction live load and carried out quantitative analysis on it.…”

Parentesco entre espécies no Nordeste indígena: árvores cosmogenealógicas e metáforas vegetais

“…A fim de compreender seus efeitos performativos (Leach 1966;Austin 1974;Bauman 2004;Tambiah 2017) e 'fazedores de parentes' (Haraway 2012), podemos pensar as metáforas como uma correlação tentativa entre termos assimétricos (Black 2018). Assim, diferentemente de uma analogia -em que dois sistemas diferentes, mas logicamente equivalentes, podem ser esquematicamente intercambiados -ou de uma comparação -em que os termos e sistemas apresentam semelhanças mais diretas -, a metáfora oferece ao enunciador uma imagem conhecida para a qual traduzir um conteúdo vago, não completamente entendido.…”
