Elisabeth Camp is a Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy writing a dissertation entitled Saying and Seeing as: Metaphor ’s Linguistic and Imaginative Origins and Effects. Camp aims to develop a satisfactory account of metaphor as it occurs in both “ordinary” and “poetic” contexts. Concerned with metaphor as a pragmatic communicative phenomenon, Camp wants to explain the rich cognitive and imaginative origins and effects of metaphor by taking up the claim that metaphors make us see one thing as another. Finally she plans to draw out the parallels between debates about metaphorical meaning and about literary meaning more generally, using her account of metaphor to define a broadly intention-based view of how the meaning of a literary work is fixed. Elisabeth Camp has been named Una’s Fellow at the Townsend Center for 2000-2001.
