Over centuries scholars have explored how metaphor contributes to thought language culture.
This collection of essays reflects on Müller Kappelhoff and colleagues' transdisciplinary
(film studies and linguistics) approach formulated in Cinematic Metaphor: Experience -
Affectivity - Temporality. The key concept of cinematic metaphor opens up reflections on
metaphor as a form of embodied meaning-making in human life across disciplines. The book
documents collaborative work reflecting intense sometimes controversial discussions across
disciplinary boundaries. In this edited volume renowned authors explore how exposure to the
framework of Cinematic Metaphor inspires their views of metaphor in film and of metaphor theory
and analysis more generally. Contributions include explorations from the point of view of
applied linguistics (Lynne Cameron) cognitive linguistics (Alan Cienki) media studies
(Kathrin Fahlenbrach) media history (Michael Wedel) philosophy (Anne Eusterschulte) and
psychology (Raymond W. Gibbs Jr.).
