In this monumental work of complex and probing proportions, the
renowned feminist and psychoanalyst Gemma Corradi Fiumara surveys
the vast literature on metaphor. She suggests that metaphorical
language communicates via the creation images, pictures and finds
in it an irreducible aspect to interpersonal communication and our
use of language itself. Combining an intimate knowledge of
psychology and and philosophy to produce a masterful work in the
function and role of metaphor in language and life, Fiumara
contends that metaphors lead to the creation of ever new worlds of
experience, to which one could not otherwise gain access. Inventing
new ways of thinking about metaphor, Fiumara suggests, generates
new ways in which human beings can examin their relationship to
hemselves and the language which they inhabit.
