Perspectivas de la metáfora y el símbolo desde la teoría de Paul Ricoeur

Abstract

This paper proposes some approaches to the concepts of metaphor and symbol from Paul Ricoeur’s discourse in The Rule of Metaphor, and some other essays such as From Text to Action and The Conflict of Interpretations. Likewise, to contextualize certain terms, I will use some of the notes by Mauricio Beuchot as he approaches the concept of symbol. Symbol and metaphor transport us to reconfigure the literary work of art as a whole and take us into another horizon. The application of this exercise will fall in an excerpt of “El prodigioso miligramo” by Juan José Arreola.
