Mária Palkó ; University of Szeged

Sažetak

This paper investigates some aspects of culturally salient and entrenched visual
elements, identified as cultural stereotypes, cultural icons, and cultural symbols.
An editorial cartoon is analyzed according to the network model of mental spaces
from Fauconnier and Turner’s Blending Theory in order to demonstrate the importance
of such visual elements in producing and unpacking conceptual blends.
Cultural stereotypes, cultural icons, and cultural symbols are described as distinct
strategies for compressing large and diffuse socio-cultural reality.
