KEMPINSKA, Olga Donata Guerizoli. Swimming as a metaphor of Reading. LTP [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.72, pp.29-42. ISSN 2317-0972. https://doi.org/10.5965/0102-387Xv36n72201800042.
The paper analyses the image of swimming as a metaphor of reading. Taking as its starting point the representations of maritime navigation valorized by the hermeneutics, such as for instance the shipwreck with spectator, and by which the esthetic distance is affirmed, the text aims to contemplate some of emotional effects, for example humor, in which the distance can no more be sustained.
