And there you have it…. you know I don’t think I’ve actually used the word ‘anthropomorphism’ (anthropomorphic maybe… but not anthropomorphism) in every day conversation since I left uni… and that would largely be due to the fact that art students are fed great gobbing spoonfuls of anthropomorphisms, juxtapositions, recontextualizations and other made up artsy fartsy twonk words.
an·thro·po·mor·phism (ān’thrə-pə-môr’fĭz’əm)
n. Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behaviour to inanimate objects, animals or natural phenomena.
