Patterns of Interpretation and Strategies of Action from the 18th to the 21st Century" (ANIK Alpine Naturgefahren im Klimawandel).
What is seen as negative and damaged depends on cultural norms and patterns of interpretation (Douglas and Wildavsky 1982).
The research followed the idea that the cultural diversity of divergent patterns of interpretation and adaptation strategies could only be represented on the basis of several regional case studies.
The use of a video camera and its subsequent image analysis provides a way to better understand the lives of the locals in retrospect and to make implicit patterns of interpretation explicit.
In this article we discuss the question whether traditional1 patterns of interpretation and practices provide useful alternatives or at least additional strategies to "negotiate disaster"2 (Luig 2012), and to what extent these traditional patterns respond to the challenges posed by climate change.
Because a physiologic uptake is often visible in or around vascular prostheses, patterns of interpretation have been discussed.
Furthermore, initial research with clinically depressed populations has highlighted potential applied value of these tasks for altering the problematic patterns of interpretation which characterise depression (Blackwell and Holmes 2010; Lang et al. 2012).
However, it is worthy to note that any consideration of change in patterns of interpretation in the present study is necessarily speculative as baseline measures of selective interpretation were not included in the current study and as a result, the magnitude of change in bias cannot be compared.
Results indicate that only those who received scenarios in which the ambiguity was present acquired an interpretive bias consistent with the emotional valence of the scenarios, suggesting that the act of imagining positive or negative events will only influence patterns of interpretation when the emotional ambiguity is a consistent feature.
This dynamic, productive power of the text undermines the idea of reality as a fixed, unyielding network of authoritative patterns of interpretations.
