- W348982011 abstract "Vico maintained that metaphor is a fundamental process of human mental life which bridges the gap between emotion and cognition. This Vichian perspective is reflected in areas of critical theory treating metaphor and other tropes, particularly their use in narrative. In psychology too, the significance of metaphor is increasingly recognized despite the Cartesian emphasis on literal thought and language in contemporary psychology's central paradigm, cognitive science. The paper compares the Cartesian and Vichian perspectives and suggests that the former limits the integrated treatment of cognition and emotion. This is illustrated with an example of how a child's feelings about a distressing situation are both revealed and changed in storytelling. The Vichian perspective is more appropriate to understanding this therapeutic interaction of cognition and emotion through metaphoric narrative play. This perspective has significant echoes in psychoanalytic and textual studies suggesting how sensitivity to the latent content of narrative metaphors offers both speaker and hearer a unique insight into the experience of the narrator. Non-literal language and thought are generative, not decorative, psychological processes. Metaphor, for example, is a vehicle which brings knowledge of familiar things to where it may be used to assimilate the unknown. By mobilizing meaning in this way, metaphor creates the growing point of human consciousness. Narrative and metaphor are vital ingredients in interpreting experience and assimilating it into a coherent sense of self and context. Metaphor takes language and thought beyond being the support for literal communication and mere rationality. Instead, they become expressive and creative. Because of this, metaphor and other forms of figurative language have an important role in the generative processes which underlie narrative. This article examines the role of metaphor and narrative in the interpretive organization of feelings and knowledge, especially in children. We look at a particular case of figurative speech a child's storytelling to show how imaginative narrative may carry important clues about the child's inner world of experience. We suggest that sensitivity to metaphor may bring about a form of creativity in comprehension to match creativity of expression.
