Abstract:

This edited volume examines how metaphors and related phenomena (metonymies,
symbols, cultural models, stereotypes) lead to the discursive construal of a
common element that brings the nation together. The central idea is that
metaphor use must be questioned to lay bare the processes and the discursive
power behind them. The chapters examine a range of contemporary and
historical, monomodal and multimodal discourses, including politicians’
discourse, presidential speeches, newspapers, TV series, Catholic homilies,
colonialist discourse, and various online sources. The approaches taken
include political science, international relations, cultural studies, and
linguistics. All contributions feature discursive constructivist views of
metaphor, with clear sociocultural grounding, and the notion of metaphor as a
framing device in constructing various aspects of nations and national
identity. The volume will appeal to scholars in discourse analysis, metaphor
studies, media studies, nationalism studies, and political science.
