• W188790042 abstract "LIFE IS A JOURNEY is one of most ancient and venerable of metaphors. It is a core metaphor of mystical Chinese philosophy of Taoism: Tao is Way, Path, which is constantly changing. In English language, we have a series of metaphors which rest on root metaphor TIME GOES PAST US FROM FRONT TO BACK, as pointed out by Lakoff and Johnson. (1) We face future, will come, we look ahead to next week. In United States, in second half of 20th Century, we have fashioned our own variations on this universal theme, focusing on one of most conspicuous elements of our landscapes: the The has been a powerful metaphor for freedom from constraints of ordinary life, ever since Jack Kerouac's On Road became Beatnik Bible in 1950's. Kerouac saw beauty in gas stations and freedom on road. metaphor caught imagination of a generation. Many of key phenomena of the Sixties developed in coherence with this metaphor. Ken Kesey and Merry Pranksters, for example, traveled around country on a bus driven by one of Kerouac's buddies, Neal Cassidy. Beatles piled a bunch of people into a bus for their Magical Mystery Tour. And getting high on psychedelic drugs was called taking a trip. And what was at end of road? California, celebrated in song and story by Beach Boys as a land of endless beaches, tanned girls, surfboards, and hot rod cars. In a way the took over task historically assigned to frontier in American history -- it was an outlet, an opening, a way for disaffected and disenchanted to pick up stakes and move on. It offered hope and adventure, mixed with uncertainty and danger. The Sixties was also an era of hitchhiking, when people would give each other rides and share life stories. I remember my days of hitchhiking on both coasts during those years, meeting all sorts of people, never quite sure where I'd wind up, but often being pleasantly surprised by knowledge and insights of ordinary people. When the Sixties faded into dissention, paranoia, and Me Decade, beatnik-inspired road metaphor relaxed its grip on people's imaginations. But it did not go entirely away. Instead, it transmuted into another metaphor, the From being a relaxed, hang-out road, metaphor became a high-stakes, corporate, competitive track. Two variants of this metaphor are common: fast track, which one finds in schools, law firms, and corporations; and fast lane, which seems to be open to anyone willing to take risks. On fast track, one finds driven, competitive, overachieving children, men, and women. People on all levels of fast get extra homework, demanding crisis problems to solve, and short deadlines. fast wears people down. You get lots of money, but have little time to enjoy it. Lately we have been hearing about alternatives to fast In mid-1980s there was controversy over mommy track, where women having children would be shunted onto a side track a bit less fast. By 1990s, mommy was looking more desirable to both men and women who had to raise children. That led to local track, which allowed women to work part-time but still advance in their firms. …" @default.
