Abstract

The paper explores the use and impact of conceptual metaphors in the graphic novel City of Glass published by Paul Auster as a free-standing story in 1985. Two years later Auster turned it into the first part of The New York Trilogy, which has since become one of the most iconic works of postmodern fiction. Artists Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli have adapted Auster’s novella into a graphic novel and their version figures on the list of the best comic books in the 20th century. The aim of this paper is to examine how the two artists’ use of conceptual metaphors has elicited the visual dimension of Auster’s novel, conveyed its philosophical ideas and enriched its emotional effect.

视觉语言中的概念隐喻《玻璃之城》图画小说

本文探讨了概念隐喻在保罗-奥斯特于 1985 年以独立故事形式出版的图画小说《玻璃之城》中的运用及其影响。两年后，奥斯特将其改编为 "纽约三部曲 "的第一部分，该三部曲自此成为后现代小说中最具代表性的作品之一。艺术家保罗-卡拉西克（Paul Karasik）和大卫-马祖切利（David Mazzucchelli）将奥斯特的长篇小说改编成了漫画小说，他们的版本被列入 20 世纪最佳漫画书排行榜。本文旨在探讨这两位艺术家如何运用概念隐喻激发奥斯特小说的视觉维度，传达其哲学思想并丰富其情感效果。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
