Liquidation of the Target: Between doxa and episteme

The author of the paper argues that Translation Studies and translation pedagogy might profit from the implementation of the theory of 4EA Cognition. The assumption that cognition is embodied, embedded, enacted, extended and affective might help to explain how people think about the world: cognition is a process whereby the relation between the cognizant subject and the (intentional) object of cognition is constantly modified by dynamic changes of factors pertaining to human body, brain and environment. As illustration, the author analyses a sequence of Polish media reports of a much publicized incident that occurred at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
