La métaphoricité productive de l’eau
The Productive Metaphoricity of Water

Summary/Abstract: Water is one of the most dynamic elements that generate metaphors, and literary texts are fraught with metaphorical structures constructed around water. Starting from a transversal approach that combines theoretical, linguistic, literary and plastic resources, we propose an analysis of Marie Ndiaye’s novel Un temps de saison in order to see how water becomes a pictural allusion orienting reading towards the picturality of the text. Thus, we shall show that the productive metaphoricity of water is seen through and in the creative interaction between the text and its reader.
