This article explores how experiences of the virtual are metaphorically articulated in people ’ s narratives of these experiences. It analyses a database of 171 responses by UK adults of all ages and backgrounds to establish how they used metaphor to frame their experiences online, at a time when the internet was increasingly becoming a platform for living everyday life. The article fi nds that respondents used a multiplicity of metaphoric frames simultaneously, some of them well established and conventionalised in discourse, and some newer. Although there is evidence of a new way of metaphorically framing the virtual as a way of experiencing the everyday, this had not yet replaced conventionalised metaphors in the data, but co-existed with them. The article argues that a slow shift in discourse patterns may be taking place alongside a shift in experience, whereby the role of technology in mediating the everyday is gradually becoming invisible.

ABSTRACT Can the perpetrator or the collaborator “speak”? How, and for whom? Do they have a “right to a biography” and, if so, what are the terms of this right? Who can speak for them? In short, what does it mean to work through their lives and the crimes they committed for those who decide to tell their stories? The main goal of this paper is to answer these questions using a particular kind of documentary directed by those who, in a certain moment of their lives, have discovered that a member of their families was a perpetrator or a collaborator relating to a dictatorship. Using Lotman’s theory of culture and memory, we discuss the positionalities of those who “wrote” these documentaries, located constantly between the individual and the collective semiosphere. Taking into account two case studies – El pacto de Adriana directed by Lissette Orozco (Chile, 2017) and L’occhio di vetro directed by Duccio Charini (Italy, 2020) – we look at the mechanisms of investigation and recollection that they use and “show,” in order to elucidate family secrets within the broader contexts of the collective traumas of Chile’s and Italy’s post-conflict societies.
行为人或同谋者能“说话”吗?怎么做,为谁做?他们有“获得传记的权利”吗?如果有,这项权利的条款是什么?谁能为他们说话?简而言之,对于那些决定讲述他们的故事的人来说,研究他们的生活和他们犯下的罪行意味着什么?本文的主要目的是通过一种特殊的纪录片来回答这些问题,这些纪录片是由那些在他们生命的某个时刻发现他们的家庭成员是与独裁有关的犯罪者或合作者的人导演的。利用洛特曼的文化和记忆理论,我们讨论了那些“写”这些纪录片的人的位置,他们不断地位于个人和集体的符号圈之间。考虑到两个案例研究——Lissette Orozco导演的El pacto de Adriana(智利,2017年)和Duccio Charini导演的L’occhio di vetro(意大利,2020年)——我们研究了他们使用和“展示”的调查和回忆机制,以便在智利和意大利冲突后社会的集体创伤的更广泛背景下阐明家庭秘密。
