Explore tips, opinions, and features on Figures of a Changing World sold at 24.13 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Figures of a Changing World offers a dramatic new account of cultural change an account based on the distinction between two familiar rhetorical figures metonymy and metaphor The book treats metonymy as the basic organizing trope of traditional culture and metaphor as the basic organizing trope of modern culture On the one hand metonymies present themselves as analogies that articulate or reaffirm preexisting states of affairs They are guarantors of facticity a term that can be translated or defined as factlikeness On the other hand metaphors challenge the similarity they claim to establish in order to feature departures from preexisting states of affairsOn the basis of this distinction the author argues that metaphor and metonymy can be used as instruments both for the largescale interpretation of tensions in cultural change and for the microinterpretation of tensions within particular texts In addressing the functioning of the two terms the author draws upon and critiques the work of Friedrich Nietzsche Roman Jakobson Christian Metz Paul Ricoeur Umberto Eco Edmund Leach and Paul de Man
