Reception to follow
In the lecture I am going to analyse the discourse about the conflict between the rule of law and the responses to the terrorist challenge in the US and in Europe (especially in Germany). Besides showing that the structure of the discourse is complicated but also surprisingly similar, we are going to see what kind of implied presuppositions explain disagreements in the debates.

A general overview of a theory of embodied cognition under development by myself and Srini Narayanan. It will begin with basic cognitive linguistics: Embodied Schemas, Frames, Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy, Blends, Constructions, and the basic experiments, and will present in general form a theory of the neural circuitry needed to characterize these phenomena in detail. The presentation will be informal and for a nontechnical audience. It will flesh out the presentation on Neural Politics given the previous day.
