Title: | Metaphors in progress | Authors: | Santos, Boaventura de Sousa | Issue Date: | Sep-2020 | Publisher: | Seminar Publications | Serial title, monograph or event: | Seminar | Issue: | 733 | Place of publication or event: | New Delhi | Abstract: | The new coronavirus has given rise to an abundance of metaphors, all of them involving a major move away from the contexts in which such metaphors are commonly used. This, in itself, tells us a lot about the shock and astonishment generated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The metaphors are but an attempt to tame the virus qua phenomenon. It is not an easy task, given that we are not even sure whether the virus is a natural or a social phenomenon. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/92318 | Rights: | openAccess |
