Abstract

La capacidad creativa está íntimamente relacionada con las formas en que el cerebro procesa y archiva el lenguaje. Las metáforas y sus etimologías son nuestras huellas del pasado, el DNA de nuestro pensamiento. La neurociencia ha hecho descubrimientos relevantes acerca de cómo funciona nuestro cerebro lingüísticamente demostrando que toda persona utiliza un registro particular determinado por la oferta de metáforas que ha acumulado a lo largo de la vida orientando los caminos de su imaginación. La idea de que los conceptos están enraizados físicamente, contrasta con la idea del racionalismo que sostiene que los conceptos son abstracciones descorporizadas, completamente separadas del sistema motor sensorial. Esta nueva forma de ver el lenguaje, abre una nueva conceptualización del cuerpo humano. Integrando los hallazgos de la ciencia con la dimensión artística de las metáforas, damos un paso adelante para estimular un pensamiento y una visión poética en la educación.Creative capacity is intimately related to the ways in which the brain processes and stores language. Metaphors and their etymologies are footprints of the past, the DNA of our thoughts. Recent findings in neuroscience concerning the way in which the brain works linguistically have shown that people make use of a particular register determined by the supply of metaphors that they have accumulated throughout their lives to guide their imaginative pathways. The idea that concepts are physically rooted contrasts with the idea of rationalism, which holds the statement that concepts are bodiless abstractions, completely separate from the sensory motor system. This new way of regarding language, therefore, gives rise to a new conceptualization of the human body. By putting the findings of science and the artistic dimensions of metaphors together, we take a step toward encouraging poetic seeing and thinking in education.
