Description:
This book offers a new definition of metaphor as an ontological and visual construction, whose roots are external visual forms, and its motivation is our attachment to forms. This definition, which Michalle Gal names "visualist," challenges the ruling conceptualist theory of metaphors and places a new emphasis on how we experience rather than understand metaphors. In doing so, she responds to the visual turn that is taking place in literature and the media, demanding that the visual become a site of philosophical analysis.
This focus on the external visual world allows Gal to employ visual theories to capture the essence of metaphor. She looks beyond conceptual or semantic mechanism, and returns to theories of Arnheim and Gombrich and the current evolution of ideas about the visual or material and embodied cognition. Proposing to see visual metaphors in their basic form, she uses a new externalist terminology of ontology, visuality, composition, affordance, construction, and emergence.
Setting out a new theory that takes into account that humans are visual no less than cognitive creatures, Visual Metaphors and Aesthetics lays the foundation for a new vocabulary to talk about metaphors.

False advertisement of Real Batana oil 😡
Color: A, Color: A
This product is NOT real Batana oil , it smells like a hair relaxer it’s more of a Clay formula which Batan oil is more of a thicker formulaI. I don’t recommend the purchase of this product .This is what the product looks like after allowing it to sit in the microwave, it did not melt into an oil. This is the result of what it looks like after removing it from the microwave in picture number two.

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!
First of all - RUN, DON’T Walk & get this. IT WORKS!!! I kid you NOT, that I can literally feel sprouts of hair growing out of the roots of my head! After washing my hair And drying it, I part my hair into several sections and gently massage it into my scalp. After at least a day or so, I can feel the tickle in my scalp, it feels like grass slowly growing. I have plenty of hair, but I would love to actually see this product used on someone who doesn’t have hair like me. I am using the product because of a thinning spot that I have from a sew-in that I have had multiple times, and getting it parted in the same area for over a period of time. You can Not beat this product, especially for the price.

Don't not purchase!!!!
Color: A
This is product has over ingredients, its made in China and the shelf life is 3 years! No naturall product has a shelf life of a 3 years or any storing instructions. Just an FYI when buying any product, the ingredient that's the most in the product is the first on this list of ingredients WATER is the first, Batana Oil is second to the last. the packaging say 100%, 100% what? Its truely not Batana Oil. I am sending this back ASAP and working on my own mix for my hair growth. I am dealing with scared alopecia and have been searching for things to help with my hair growth. I am tried of companies thinking they will take my money. I was not able to see the ingredients until I recieved the package, which is not a terriable way to sell a product.
