DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag von Rodrigo García Bergareche (Universidad Complu
 tense de Madrid)\n\nDuring the presentation\, I will resume my research\, 
 which mainly reflects on metaphors\, meaning and the grasping of an unders
 tanding beyond the limits of the intellect. The mystic Spanish Golden Age 
 corpus will be used to carry out this work.\n\nMy investigation looks at i
 neffability and the mystical paradox of address\, which is a central issue
  in mystical discourse. On many occasions\, Santa Teresa de Jesús and San
  Juan de la Cruz\, who are both discalced Carmelites monks and important r
 epresentatives of Spanish mystical poetry of the 16th century\, mentioned 
 the lack of words in their theoretical writings or even in their artistic 
 works. Ultimately\, Miguel de Molinos\, a theologist and mystical poet of 
 the 17th century and promoter of Quietism\, even advocated for surrenderin
 g to silence. Therefore\, I address the mystical ineffability through meta
 phors. My main line of research follows the classic bibliography based on 
 Ricoeur and Blumenberg\, who stated metaphors as a re-description of the w
 orld\, which is essential when it comes to conceptualising some aspects of
  reality. In this context\, the cognitive school of Lakoff and Johnson wil
 l be examined since conceptual metaphors are indispensable for the product
 ion and communication of knowledge (even more when the referent is hidden)
 .\n\nFinally\, I will analyse the metaphors used by these Spanish mystic p
 oets from this cognitive perspective. Taking into account both the traditi
 on from which they come and their unique aspects.
