Miracle of the Metaphor. Attraction and Impelence in the Expressive and Intellectual Dynamic of the Metaphor as Estrangement and Recognition

摘要

As a phenomenological challenge, we propose here to address the question of metaphor in an immersive exercise in its strange Logos, articulated through references (impulses) and attractions that transcend the everyday expectations of the consolidated world. In this sense, one could speak of a miracle of metaphor. Metaphor has its own anarchy, because it does not belong to the real, nor merely to the unreal, nor only to the fantastic. It undoubtedly requires the power of the imaginary, but above all an area that we could almost call ‘weightless,’ conducive to the transgressions that metaphor summons in its alchemy, with the aim of revealing and illuminating an exotic meaning, coming from afar and ‘from outside,’ beyond the triviality of the world (although some metaphors become trivial and, obviously, go unnoticed).
