| dc.description.abstract | The worldwide outbreak of Covid-19 epidemic has been profusely covered by the mass media in 2020. This research focuses on the metaphorical content of cartoons from prominent Spanish and Brazilian newspapers published online in March and April 2020. In these satirical drawings the virus is portrayed through two main modes of representation: i) pictorial and ii) verbal. The conceptual metaphors conveyed in each cartoon were identified, analysed, and classified into four source domain scenarios: i) arts and literature, ii) conflicts, iii) sports, and iv) games, and other. Mainly, two theories coming from Cognitive Linguistics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and the Multimodal Metaphor Theory, have been used to approach this contrastive study in which the metaphorical representation of Covid-19 serves to offer a humorous and persuasive point of view about the impact of the pandemic in the Spanish and Brazilian society and the way the most important politicians of each country dealt with the sanitary crisis. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | El estallido mundial del Covid-19 ha sido cubierto abundantemente por los medios de comunicación en 2020. Esta investigación se centra en el contenido metafórico de las caricaturas publicadas online en marzo y abril de 2020 en importantes periódicos españoles y brasileños. En estos dibujos satíricos el virus es retratado por medio de dos modos de representación: i) pictórico y ii) verbal. Las metáforas conceptuales subyacentes en cada caricatura fueron identificadas, analizadas y clasificadas en cuatro escenarios de dominio fuente: i) artes y literatura, ii) conflictos, iii) deportes y iv) juegos y otros. Principalmente, dos teorías procedentes de la lingüística cognitiva: teoría de la metáfora conceptual y teoría de la metáfora multimodal, han sido utilizadas para abordar este estudio contrastivo en el cual la representación del Covid-19 sirve para ofrecer una perspectiva humorística y persuasiva sobre el impacto de la pandemia en España y Brasil y de cómo los políticos de cada país afrontaron la crisis sanitaria. | pt_PT |
