The Identity of Metaphor - The Metaphor of Identity: Discourse and Portrait

By Daniela Moldoveanu

The book sets out identity of metaphor in the literary discourse from a comparative perspective and links it with the ontological metaphor of identity. The author analyses both American and Romanian texts such as Lucian Blaga's lyrosophical hermeneutics, Ileana Mălăncioiu, Mariana Marin and Sylvia Plath's lyrical tirades, and Max Blecher's poetic novels. She points out that ipseity is a trace of the postmodern bivalent condition that uses the vivid metaphor mechanism to describe its ontological lability as strength.
