Metaphor in economic theory and in economics as an academic discipline -- section II. Cultural filters in contrastive studies -- section III. Metaphor in the economy and business in practice.While the role of metaphor in economics and business has produced multiple research articles, no comprehensive book-length study has yet appeared. The present book is a timely attempt to fill this gap, giving a global coverage of the role of metaphor in business and economics. It spans time (from Classical Greece to the current business network meeting-room), space (from Europe through the Americas to Asia), cultures and languages (from continental European languages, Brazilian Portuguese to Chinese). The theoretical grounding of the book is the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor taken in a dynamic sense as evolving with on-going research. The theory is thus used, adapted and refined in accordance with the evidence provided. Metaphor is shown to be theory constitutive in the elaboration of economic thinking down through the ages while, at the same time, the emphasis on evidence open to historical, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic considerations align with the current notion of situatedness. The book is a rich source of information for researchers and students in the fields of Metaphor Studies, Economics, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies, among others.

What do residents themselves have to say about their experiences? Are there ways that orphanages can be designed to meet children's developmental needs and to provide them with necessities they are unable to receive in their home communities? In this book, detailed observations of children's daily life in a Cambodian orphanage are combined with follow-up interviews of the same children after they have grown and left the orphanage. Their thoughtful reflections show that the quality of care children receive is more important for their well-being than the site in which they receive it. Life in a Cambodian Orphanage situates orphanages within the social and political history of Cambodia, and shows that orphanages need not always be considered bleak sites of deprivation and despair. It suggests best practices for caring for vulnerable children regardless of the setting in which they are living"--Provided by publisher.Rutgers Series in Childhood StudiesOrphansSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01048444Orphanagesfast(OCoLC)fst01048423SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / GeneralbisacshOrphansCambodiaSocial conditionsOrphanagesCambodiaCambodiafastorphan, orphanage, children, Cambodian orphanage, Cambodia, Orphanage Tourism, Anti-orphanage Tourism Campaign, residents, political history of Cambodia, despair, deprivation, adoption, family, orphanage life, residential institution, orphans, biological families.OrphansSocial conditions.Orphanages.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.OrphansSocial conditions.Orphanages362.732Carpenter Kathie Lou1741636MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910861991303321Life in a Cambodian Orphanage4167749UNINA
