Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article presents an analysis of the metaphors that relate the domains of space and sexuality in the tetralogy Antagonía by Luis Goytisolo, based on a discourse dynamics approach. Metaphoremes such as <terreno erótico> and <erotismo geológico> are identified and analysed according to cognitive, linguistic, affective, and socio-cultural factors, with a focus on the first two. I also draw from the processes of source redeployment, development, literalization, and unrealism to explain the details of several discourse metaphors in the text. These are framed in their immediate and extended contexts. The results show the complex web of spatio-sexual metaphors readers encounter in the text and the rich array of resources the author uses to portray sexuality.
