El gen y sus metáforas en el estudio ecológico del comportamiento animal: variaciones, implicancias y vigencias

Abstract

En este artículo se analizará la consideración y el uso de metáforas en un área de investigación de gran prestigio en labiología contemporánea: la ecología del comportamiento. En particular, se evaluará la presencia de algunas metáforas en dicha subdisciplina indagando el modo en que son utilizadas por algunos de los principales científicos del área. Uno de los aspectos enlos que se centrará el análisis refiere al carácter reificado de las metáforas, es decir, al “olvido” de su propio carácter metafórico, tratando de reconocer algunas de las principales implicancias que dicha reificación conlleva al seno de la práctica científica. De este modo, este trabajo muestra que las metáforas presentes en la actividad científica no sólo cumplen roles importantes en el modo de hablar y comunicar en la ciencia, sino también en la propia conformación y conservación de (nuevas) ontologías mediante los procesos de reificación metafórica

In this article we will analyze the significance and use of metaphors in behavioral ecology, an area of great interest in contemporary biology. Particularly, we will assess the presence of certain metaphors and the way some of the main behavioral ecologists use them. One of the central aspects we will tackle refers to the reification of metaphors, that is to say, to the possibility that metaphors might be “forgotten” as such. In this sense, we will try to recognize some of the potential consequences that this process of reification could bring to scientific research. Thus, this article shows that metaphors are not only useful “tools” for scientists to communicate their ideas, but that these also play an important role in the making up and maintenance of (new) ontologies by reification.
