Conceptual Metaphors in English, Spanish, and Croatian in Stephen King's Pet Sematary
-
Tanja Stupar Despite metaphors being omnipresent in our everyday lives, their usage frequently goes unnoticed. This paper analyzes conceptual metaphors, a particular type of metaphor proposed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980), which entail understanding an abstract domain of experience in terms of a concrete domain of experience. What makes the creation of such metaphors possible is the existence of multiple correspondences between the two domains. These correspondences are also referred to as...

Concordia Apostolorum: ikonografija sv. Petra i sv. Pavla u 4. i 5. stoljeću
-
Josip Seličanec Prikaz Concordiae Apostolorum jedan je od važnijih ikonografskih elemenata koji nastaje u drugoj polovici 4. stoljeća. Reforma koju papa Damaz pokreće sa štovanjem kulta mučenika u Rimu uzdiže značaj koji su dvojica apostola imali. Naime, prema apokrifnoj literaturi Petar i Pavao djelovali su zajedno u širenju evanđelja u Rimu, gdje su na kraju mučeni i ubijeni, što ih čini idealnim zaštitnicima grada. Apostolski autoritet koji su Petar i Pavao uživali u Rimu dovodi do toga da...
