Abstract

The chapter offers a perspective on the heart based on cultural embodiment (Maalej 2004, 2007, 2008), whereby, in the absence of or on top of physiological embodiment as represented by body parts, culture impinges on the latter, operating various manipulations of the heart. To produce such changes, TA makes use of imaginative structures such as image schemas, metaphor and metonymy, which change the texture, size, color, strength/weakness, and temperature of the heart. Such changes produce embodied cultural conceptualizations that impact positive and negative emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, etc., and personal attributes such as compassion, affection, tolerance, greed and gratification, etc. The chapter also contributes to the view that, although the Arab culture is thought to be a homogeneous whole, some diversity of cultural conceptualizations is documented across some Arabic dialects, which corroborates the distributed (Sharifian 2011) nature of cultural conceptualizations and cognition.
