The UJI lecturers Antonio J. Silvestre López and Lorena Bort Mir from the Department of English Studies of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló participated in the Metaphor Festival held at the University of Amsterdam in early September, where they presented their research on conceptual metaphor developed within the GReSCA Research Group.

The lecturer Antonio José Silvestre, invited by the MetaphorLab (event organiser), delivered the workshop "Mindful minds: mental experience as embodied feelings" on the application of metaphors in the pedagogy of mindfulness.

The lecturer Lorena Bort, in collaboration with the researcher Marianna Bolognesi (University of Oxford), delivered the presentation "Understanding the mental operations during filmic metaphor processing: a think-aloud experiment", where the first cognitive model of filmic metaphor processing has been presented.

Both proposals are two examples of how metaphor studies can be applied efficiently in different areas of interest.
