Actiones secundum fidei1: Antithesis and metaphoric conceptualization in Banksy's graffiti art


 In this article, we describe how antithesis and metaphoric conceptualization interact with each other and which
 rhetorical effects this interaction brings about. We illustrate this interaction with an analysis of seventeen graffiti artworks by
 Banksy, who uses the contraposition of visual elements that are characterized by opposite semantic and affective
 values. This article contributes to the expanding field of empirical studies of visual/pictorial metaphors and antitheses, in
 which artworks are interpreted according to conceptual dynamics and not only in relation to their thematic, semiotic and
 representational properties.
