CALL FOR PAPERS
The body politic metaphor has a long history stretching from antiquity to the present, across cultures from Western Europe to East Asia. No wonder, then, that the body politic metaphor has attracted scholarly attention not only from metaphor scholars but also
from historians, political scientists, literary scholars and others. The symposium will examine various aspects of the metaphorical discourse on the body politic from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The diachronic and cross-cultural approach to the body politic
metaphor in this symposium aims to enhance our global understanding of a metaphorical dimension of contemporary political discourse.
We welcome papers that discuss any aspects of the body politic metaphor: the cross-domain mapping between the body and the political community such as the state, the country, the empire, the nation and the like. Abstracts of approx. 200 words for 20-minute
papers may be submitted to
[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> until 15 June 2019.
Keynote speakers:
Professor Andreas Musolff, University of East Anglia
Professor Roslyn Frank, University of Iowa
Professor Hong Pan, University of Fuzhou
