Metaphors in Focus: New Lecture Series & Seminar Explore Power of Analogy
A new lecture series and seminar are set to explore the power of metaphors in shaping critical judgement and their role in reception studies. Convened by Leo Kershaw and Pantelis Michelakis, the series will delve into how metaphors function, with a focus on those related to social justice, guilt, and asymmetry between action and retribution.
The lecture series will draw from the metaphorical tension in the story of Alfred Ill, a character from a literary or theatrical work, and the symbolisms around justice and social ostracism. While the creators of this content are not explicitly named, the main figures in the metaphorical analysis are Ill and another character, Claire Zachanassian.
The seminar, on the other hand, aims to reflect on the prioritization of metaphors in critical discourses of reception studies. It seeks to identify the limitations and unfulfilled potential of these metaphors, as well as to delve into the history, etymology, and changing uses of these metaphors over time.
Both the lecture series and seminar promise to offer fresh insights into the role of metaphors in shaping our understanding of complex issues. By exploring their functions, limitations, and historical context, these events aim to enrich our critical judgement and reception studies.
