PARSONS, Michael. Interpretação da arte através de metáforas. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2011, vol.34, n.03, pp.286-292. ISSN 1981-2582.

The article discusses thinking in the arts through metaphors. It acknowledges the relevance of Lakoff and Johnson’s position. They see metaphors as the essential way in which we work through the meanings of our bodily experiences. However, most of the research refers to verbal metaphors. This study focuses on visual metaphors, specifically, whether and how metaphors in visual media are different from metaphors in verbal media, based on a reference to the work of Max Black who advocates the point of view that a metaphor is basically a matter of thinking and not simply a figure of language.

Palabras clave : Metaphor; Interpretation in Arts; Visual Metaphors.
