Meeting Description:

Public discourse has a significant impact on all areas of social life. From
newspapers and television to social media or advertising campaigns, there is a
constant public debate in which citizens, institutions and organizations take
part influencing opinions and views on paramount aspects of society, such as
health, education, environment, and immigration. Metaphor is pervasive
throughout this public discourse (Landau & Keefer 2014, Mussolf 2006, Burgers
at al. 2016, Flusberg et al. 2018, among others). Starting from the premise
that metaphor is not only one of the most basic human thoughtstructuring
devices, but also, and more importantly, a powerful ideological tool within
public debate, shaping public opinions and conceptualizations, RaAM16 will
explore the crucial role that it plays in the construction, spread and
contestation of specific ideologies, influencing citizens’ attitudes and
decisions about practical issues on social actions.
