Description: Abstract of Orly Goldwasser's book 'From Icon to Metaphor: Studies in the Semiotics of the Hieroglyphs'.
(January 01, 1995)
Goldwasser: From Icon to Metaphor From Icon to Metaphor: Studies in the Semiotics of the Hieroglyphs Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis 142. University Press: Fribourg, 1995. ISBN 3-7278-1015-7 presents the theory that the renowned allure of hieroglyphs lies beyond mere visual merits, and that its sources should be sought for in the realms of metaphor, semiotics and cognitive studies. The book attempts to show that the enduring appeal of the hieroglyphic sign emanates from, or indeed is, the very appeal of metaphor in its numerous incarnations; that metaphor, furthermore, was the cognitive tool required for the "intellectual leap" which materialized in the invention of the pictorial script.
