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 fact-like-ness. On the other hand, metaphors challenge the similarity they claim to establish, in order to feature departures from preexisting states of affairs. On the basis of this distinction, the author argues that metaphor and metonymy can be used as instruments both for the large-scale interpretation of tensions in cultural change and for the micro-interpretation 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. 606 $aEvolution 606 $aChange 610 $aConnotation. 610 $aDe-fictionalizing. 610 $aDenotation. 610 $aFictionalizing. 610 $aMetaphor. 610 $aMetonymy. 610 $aTraditional and Modern Attitudes. 615 0$aEvolution. 615 0$aChange. 676 $a116 700 $aBerger$b Harry$cJr.,$f1924-2021,$01272722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787497903321 996 $aFigures of a changing world$93700884 997 $aUNINA
