BARTOLINI, Ana María; ROXANA-VIVAS, Daniela; FERREIRA, Carmela y PETRIC, Natalia. Discourse and Metaphors. Two approaches to Understanding the Thesis Process. univ.humanist. [online]. 2017, n.83, pp.109-132. ISSN 0120-4807. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uh83.rmac.
This article presents a complementary analysis from two sources: focused interviews and selection of objects (painting, image, word, phrase, picture, etc.). Both techniques sought to understand, from a qualitative perspective, the graduates’ thesis process of two faculties of Universidad Autónoma de Entre Ríos (UADER). Thesis group journeys were constructed from interviews and selected objects were interpreted as metaphors of such processes. The confluence of these two different, but complementary, discursive and metaphorical sources enriches and completes comprehension. The findings show a greater comprehensive variability in metaphorical analysis; metaphors provide more meaning when narrating experience, and the validation of findings based on the two sources. They also allow a deeper understanding of complex processes, such as the completion of a thesis.
