THE NOTION OF METAPHOR AND METONYMY IN THE THOUGHT OF MICHEL PÊCHEUX

Abstract

The article approaches the concept of interdiscourse to metaphor, considering the dynamics of displacement of the pre-constructed from one discursive locus to another, and treats metonymy as the imposition of the partial effect of the discursive object that organizes, through the transverse discourse, another web of meaning and, in effect, a new axis of memory. To this end, it reflects on the cases of "mole" and "fire", according to Michel Pêcheux, also analyzing, in this environment, aspects that involve "God". It is considered that the tangle of ideas that permeate the concepts of interdiscourse and memory, which often make them almost equivalent, encompass distinct discursive functions that can be perceived and problematized from the concepts of metaphor, metonymy and transverse discourse, especially from the perspective of Michel Pêcheux.
