Come si costruisce il socialismo. Metafora e interpretazione ideologica nelle interviste di Nicolae Ceaușescu per la stampa italiana

Abstract

Using the tridimensional model of metaphor in communication (Steen 2008) multidisciplinary perspective (Musloff 2012, Steen 2011) in which cognitive notions are accompanied by political discourse analysis principles, this analysis aims to qualitatively describe the metaphors in the interviews fot the Italian press released between 1971 and 1981 by Nicolae Ceaușescu, a period in which the Romanian President had a notable international position. We will study the shorthand notes and the translations in Italian of five interviews published by the Italian newspapers «l’Unità» (Boffa 1971 and 1973), «Il Popolo» (Pellegrini 1978 and 1981), and «Corriere della Sera» (Petta 1981).
