Creative reframing of death metaphors on David Bowie’s mural in London.Paula Pérez-Sobrino & Laura Hidalgo-Downing - 2022 - Discourse Studies 24 (5):566-589.details This article explores the way in which death metaphors written in the urban mural for David Bowie in London contribute to creatively reframing the artist’s death.

The present article aims to bridge the gap between these two areas of study by (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

The Norwegian Dugnad in Times of COVID-19.Susan Nacey - 2024 - Metaphor and Symbol 39 (2):79-95.details On 12 March 2020, the Norwegian government instigated measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, the most drastic policies of any Norwegian government in peacetime. A particularly Norwegian metaphor used when introducing those measures concerned the “dugnad” tradition, a cultural practice of voluntary work carried out as a community. This article traces the trajectory of dugnad metaphors related to COVID-19 in Norwegian public discourse, to shed light on the aptness of their use. Aptness is measured in terms of “resonance,” the (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
