| 520 | |a "Metaphor: Theory and Practice," a senior/graduate seminar taught at Loyola Marymount University, was something of an experiment. Its goal was to engage students in theoretical explorations of metaphor, in analysis of metaphor growing out of those theories, in the creation of their own metaphoric texts, and finally, in the development of new theories of metaphor based on their work in the course. The course began with the exploration of various theories of metaphor: those of I. A. Richards, Wayne Booth, Paul Ricoeur, Max Black, Laurence Perrine, and several others. Students also read poetry by Galway Kinnell, W. H. Auden, Dorothy Parker, and Sylvia Plath. They read prose by Poe, Nancy Mairs, Henry James and Marquez, everything from "Like Water for Chocolate" to "Harlem Sweeties." In all of these texts, the students observed rhetorical transaction at work. Defined as a mutually creative inter-relationship among author, text and audience, rhetorical transaction becomes a fruitful way of understanding the creative force of metaphor. One graduate student investigated the metaphorical aspects of humor, positing that jokes are funny because of a shared social context between the speaker and the audience, and a willingness to "associate" or connect two disparate or incongruous concepts, a process that can be called transactional as well as metaphoric.
