Abstract "Over the last years, the study of time conceptualization has seen a considerable growth, serving as a case study for exploring the cognitive basis of metaphor. But if metaphorical representations of time are established in the cognitive system, how are they manipulated when humans are engaged with their creative expression? This is the question that this volume aims to address, on the assumption that creativity may add new insights into our understanding of time. Our view of creativity, which infiltrates the ten chapters that compose this volume, endorses not only the extraordinary instances found in poetry, and the arts (cinema, music, graphic novels, etc.), but also its more 'mundane', everyday manifestations that appear in everyday language use, political discourse, or TV news. Spanning across modalities (verbal, pictorial, auditory, and gestural), such expressions are aimed to reflect the richness and diversity vis-à-vis the creativity of time representations while also pointing to the common underpinnings that motivate and constrain creativity"-- Provided by publisher.
