Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides the first comprehensive analysisof metaphors used by Hugo Chávez in his efforts to construct andlegitimize his Bolivarian Revolution. It focuses on metaphors drawn from three of his most frequent target domains:the nation, his revolution, and the opposition. The author arguesthat behind an official discourse of inclusion, Chávez's choice of metaphors contributes to the construction of apolarizing discourse of exclusion in which his political opponents arerepresented as enemies of the nation. Chávez constructs this polarizing discourse of exclusion by combiningmetaphors that conceptualize: (a) the nation as a person who hasbeen resurrected by his government, as a person ready to fight for his revolution, or as Chávez himself; (b) the revolutionas war; and (c) members of the opposition as war combatants orcriminals. At the same time, by making explicit references in his discourse about the revolution as the continuation ofSimón Bolívar's wars of independence, Chávez contributes to representopponents as enemies of the nation, given that in the Venezuelan collective imaginary Bolívar is the symbolof the nation's emancipation. 180 pp. Englisch.
