DESCRIPTION:SFB 1475 MASTER CLASS\n\nGuest Lecture by Dr. Charles Forcevil
 le (University of Amsterdam)\n\nMetaphors in films differ from those in st
 atic images because (1) the target and a source of a metaphor can be cued 
 after each other rather than having to be recognizable synchronically\; (2
 ) films can draw not only on visuals and written language\, but also on sp
 oken language\, sound\, and music. In this presentation some scenes with c
 reative film metaphors will be shown and discussed\, as well as some insta
 nces of the deeply entrenched conceptual metaphors GOOD IS LIGHT and BAD I
 S DARK. If and when we are aware of these latter in artistic film narrativ
 es\, we may even judge them mere clichés. That said\, the medium of cinem
 a need not resort to cliché-varieties of the LIGHT/ DARK source domains. 
 By playing around with shades of light and dark\, and with shifts from lig
 ht to dark or vice versa\, the conceptual metaphors may trigger creative m
 appings that contribute to the narrative’s story-line and to the cueing 
 of affective states.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Master Class on “Mul
 timodal Metaphor Analysis” with Dr. Charles Forceville (University of Am
 sterdam). The Master Class will comprise daily lectures\, discussions and 
 working sessions\, organized by the Metaphor & Materiality working group.
