B. Atxaga eta J. Sarrionandiaren metaforetan barrena bidaiatuz

Abstract

The article approaches us to B. Atxaga and to J. Sarrionaindia, through the analysis of their metaphors. The approach starts with a critical review of the traditional metaphor’s theory and a proposal for another understanding, using both the pragmatical and Reception Theory’s points of view. Following, aided with that understanding, the article analyses the role played by the metaphor within the texts of the mentioned writers, showing that this paper is more closely linked with the idea the authors have about literary creation than with the traditional concept of rhetoric. These metaphors reflect, not only the poetics of the writers, but also the writer’s different views, specially those which are analyzed in the last part of this work: glass, snow, ash, sand, desert, sea, remote cities and islands, journey, forest and parks and gardens.
