Emozioni tra natura e cultura

The meaning that the experience has for a person merges to the conscious level through metaphorical images. Many of these, if shared, become “symbols” of the collective imagery, i.e.: culture. In this perspective, knowing how to interprete the metaphorical images means to become aware of what is manifested at the conscious level. This work shows, on the basis of “anger” expressions, how the analysis of the metaphorical models can be used as a tool for the development of the intercultural competence.
