Description: The book that we have now reprinted, expanded and updated, is the result of a multidisciplinary research that includes philosophy, semiotics, rhetoric, psychoanalysis and art history. Its objective is to understand one of the greatest powers of the human mind: to see one thing in another, from relations of similarity, and to appreciate the scope of metaphor in the interpretation of the work of art. After analyzing the foundations and semantic mechanisms of metaphor in general, Elena Oliveras studies particular cases. Some will serve to set their limits with the symbol and allegory, two resources of language with which it has been more than once confused. While every work of art is essentially metaphorical, by presenting images with qualities similar to those of the world to which it belongs, modalities such as abstract art, cubism, surrealism and realism require a particular study. For this reason, the author has written a specific chapter for this edition, in which she contemplates the main metaphorical variants in the art of the 21st century.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-286) and index.
