Mit Resilienz bin ich der Fels in der Brandung. Resilienz ist das Immunsystem des Geistes. Resilienz ist eine Stehaufmännchen-Kompetenz. In der sechsten Folge von Rethinking Resilienz beschäftigen wir uns mit Metaphern. Genauer gesagt mit Metaphern für Resilienz und Schutzfaktoren. Wie beeinflussen Metaphern unser Verständnis von Resilienz, welche Bilder sind förderlich und wie können wir sie bewusst im Training und Coaching einsetzen?

Soms komen we situaties tegen die zo complex of abstract zijn dat we ze moeilijk kunnen begrijpen. Gelukkig kunnen we dan vertrouwen op metaforen en analogieën, twee cognitieve mechanismen die ons helpen tot (enig) begrip te komen. Wat zijn dit nu precies? Hoe beïnvloeden ze ons begrip van een situatie? En hoe vaak komen ze eigenlijk voor?

One day, during a talk, she conducted a simple experiment: she asked a group of scholars to close their eyes and point south-eastwards. There were fingers pointed in every posible direction. However, Lera Boroditsky knew that if she asked the same question to a girl from an Aboriginal community in Australia she would point her finger in the right direction. “Aboriginals do not use directions such as left or right, and instead everything is in cardinal directions,” says the scientist. In the world there are some 7,000 languages, with different vocabularies, sounds and alfabets. Do differences affect the way we see the world? “Language has a profound impact on our perception,” says Boroditsky.   Lera Borodistky is a cognitive scientist, psychologist and professor. Her research focuses on the complex differences in human communication. “I'm interested in how human beigns develop such a vast intelligence, how we process the information we receive from the world and how such a complex and wonderful phenomenon as the one we call language allows us to be as intelligent and sophisticated as we are", she says. Boroditsky is regarded as one of the key authors of the theory of linguistic relativity. The scientist has developed her career in world-class institutions such as the MIT or Standford University.  She is currently professor of cognitive science at University of California, San Diego, and is chief editor of Frontiers in Cultural Psychology. Utne Reader included her in its list of “25 Visionaries who are Changing Your World.” “A better grasp of language makes us more creative, approachable and fosters communication in the incredibly diverse world that surrounds us,” she says.

Today, I’ve got Lera Boroditsky, Professor of Cognitive Science at UCSD on the show. She’s a really big deal in the languages and cognitive science worlds, having taught at MIT and Stanford. and you can find her Ted Talk here. Her teaching and her research focus on the way we form thought, the way we think, and the way language affects how we think. If any of you have seen the movie Arrival (trailer), you’ll know what I mean – because it’s a great example of how learning the alien language allows you to think different. I won’t spoil it, but the film and it’s original short story by Ted Chiang just blew my mind.Scientists in the real world haven’t encountered anything quite so sci-fi-like – but Dr. Boroditsky has nailed down certain characteristics in the 7,000 languages around the world that make its native speakers think in different ways. For example, she engrained herself with one community where they use cardinal points, so south, west, east and north, instead of left and right. It means they have an internal map of compass points – something we never thought humans had the ability to do. Other examples she’ll talk about include the way we see colour, the way we count and use maths, and the way gender is influenced by language. For example, the French bridge Le Pont is masculine, and they therefore tend to describe it as imposing and strong, while Germans Die Brücke is feminine, so it’s seen as elegant and fragile. While these gender stereotypes might be a little outdated, they give us an insight into the way words can have an effect on meaning.As many of you know, language is one of my biggest passions. I speak five, although I cheat by including English – the others are Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. And one of the things that has fascinated me is how I find myself taking on a new personality with each language. When I’m in a group of French people I become this low-voiced suave, philosophical guy, while in Argentine Spanish, I take on an Italian inflection, and I’m a bit more risqué, I’m singing my words, and that has to change your personality – not only in how you’re perceived by others, but in how you think while communicating in these other languages. I really feel like I become another person, and you can see me using these languages in my work in my showreel.So that’s why I’ve been absolutely fascinated by Dr. Boroditsky’s work, and by a book a recently read by Guy Deutscher, called Through the Language Glass. Dr. Boroditsky talks to me all about those things, and also touches on things like enforced language change – such as gender-neutral pronouns and other social-justice changes – and talks a little about psychopaths that she might just be one. I think she was joking, but there’s some truth in the notion that high-performing people might just be some form of sociopath. If you’re into that, check out my earlier episodes with M.E. Thomas the female Mormon psychopath, and Mary Turner Thomson, whose husband was a psychopath and a bigamist.Please make sure to share this podcast, follow me on andrewgold_ok on Twitter and Instagram – I could do with more followers!

E40: Presidential rhetoric, unmasked (w/ Dr. Cameron Mozafari)

The president and his administration use rhetoric every day in speeches, press conferences, and written texts like executive orders and proclamations, but the material effects of this discourse can sometimes be difficult to observe. Today, however, the United States is the epicenter both for the COVID-19 pandemic and an unprecedented wave of civil resistance against local police departments and federal enforcement actions authorized by the president. So, how is the current administration's rhetoric implicated in the pandemic, policing, and protest?To help us navigate these questions, our guest today is Dr. Cameron Mozafari, who uses methods from corpus linguistics to analyze emotional appeals and other rhetorical patterns in presidential speeches. First, Cameron walks us through his recent Trump-COVID 19 Corpus project, in which he has collected and organized all of the Trump Administration's public statements about the Coronavirus crisis. Based on initial analyses of this data, we discuss Trump's treatment of the virus as a war (as opposed to more typical framings of pandemics as water or natural disasters); the differences in register and epistemic certainty between the language employed by Trump and that of Drs. Fauci and Birx; as well as how (in)frequently Trump and Pence use the words "mask" and "social distancing" vs. words related to war.Next, we analyze a related instance of problematic presidential rhetoric: the recent “Executive Order on Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence." We talk through how the order constructs a dichotomy between US national identity & "property" vs. Marxism / Anarchism & "crime" / "violence." This dissociation, we argue, is an attempt to shore up the administration's and local police departments' legitimacy at a time of unpopularity and unrest. It also serves to mask the state violence that has incited recent popular unrest and been wielded in response to it. Finally, Cameron tells us about a violent incident earlier this summer at a protest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we consider how clashes like this one are revelatory of the material effects of presidential rhetoric.Works referenced in this episodeBlaire, C.

Philosophers of time generally debate whether time is a flowing, fleeting idea, or it is a fixed, static, omnipresent aspect of physical space. Despite the contentiousness, almost all of them agree that time has an arrow, and that the arrow points in a forward direction. C Theorists upend this concept, claiming that time has no flow or direction at all. They propose that time can move in any direction. On this episode we explore what time is and how our objective and subjective experiences of time may not be so straightforward.

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says. "Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Existen cerca de 7000 idiomas hablados en todo el mundo, y todos ellos tienen diferentes sonidos, vocabulario y estructuras. Pero ¿pueden moldear nuestra forma de pensar? La científica cognitiva, Lera Boroditsky, comparte algunos ejemplos —desde una comunidad aborigen en Australia que emplea puntos cardinales en vez de derecha e izquierda, hasta las múltiples palabras que existen para llamar al azul en ruso— que sugieren que la respuesta es un rotundo sí. Según Boroditsky, lo bueno de la diversidad lingüística es que nos revela lo ingeniosa y flexible que es la mente humana; "La mente humana ha inventado no solo uno, sino 7000 universos cognitivos".

Weltweit werden etwa 7.000 Sprachen gesprochen, und alle besitzen individuelle Laute, Wörter und Strukturen. Doch bestimmen sie, wie wir denken? Kognitionswissenschaftlerin Lera Boroditsky zeigt Beispiele – von den australischen Aborigines, die Himmelsrichtungen anstelle von links und rechts verwenden, bis zu den zahlreichen Wörtern für "blau" im Russischen –, die verdeutlichen, dass die Antwort ein klares "Ja" ist. "Das Wunderbare an unser sprachlichen Vielfalt ist, dass sie zeigt, wie genial und flexibel der menschliche Geist ist", sagt Boroditsky. "Die Menschheit hat nicht nur ein kognitives Universum entwickelt, sondern 7.000."
