National Conceptualisations of the Body PoliticCultural Experience and Political Imagination /[electronic resource] :by Andreas Musolff. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIV, 207 p. 4 illus., 2 illus. in color.online resource. - Cultural Linguistics,2520-1468. - Cultural Linguistics,.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Metaphorical Nature of the NATION Concept -- Chapter 3. The Nation’s BODY in History -- Chapter 4. Cultural Traditions in Contemporary Metaphor Usage -- Chapter 5. Cultural Traditions in Metaphor Interpretation -- Chapter 6. Methodology of the Interpretation Experiment -- Chapter 7. Results: The Anatomy of the Nation: Functional Hierarchy vs. Geobody -- Chapter 8. Results: The Nation as Part of a Larger Body -- Chapter 9. Results: The Nation and the Self’s Body -- Chapter 10. Results: The Person of the Nation -- Chapter 11. Conclusions.

This book presents the results of a large-scale experiment into interpretations of the metaphor “the Nation as a Body” among 1,800+ respondents from 30 linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In this first account of an empirical study of cross-cultural global metaphor interpretation of that scale, Musolff confirms that the meanings of metaphors are complex, culturally mediated and may differ for senders and recipients. The book provides a historical and cultural map of the traditions underlying differences in how the nation as a body – or, “the body politic” – is understood. Musolff challenges the hypotheses of the universality of “the nation” as a predominantly male-gendered and hierarchically organized concept and, in so doing, puts into question some of the key presuppositions of traditional historical and cognitive approaches to metaphor. For scholars and students of figurative language, the book lays out methodological foundations for cross-cultural metaphor comparison and reveals hidden meaning differences in political metaphor in English as lingua franca.
