Resumen

Este artículo pretende analizar el discurso de adopción y acogida (DAA) con la intención de identificar cuál es el papel de la metáfora creativa, y los resultantes conceptos ad hoc, en la (re)configuración de las narrativas (AA). En concreto, analiza el libro ilustrado Speranza’s Sweater (Pusey y Mello 2018), y la metáfora conceptual extendida a life story (of a child [in adoption or foster care]) is a sweater, junto a la red de metáforas secundaria incluidas en la anterior. Estas quedan analizadas a partir de los marcos teóricos de Romero y Soria (1997, 2005a, 2007, 2014 and 2016) y Forceville (1994, 2008) aplicados, respectivamente, a la metáfora creativa y multimodal. Los diccionarios, tesauros, herramientas de corpus, así como la lectura/visionado detallado, informarán la delimitación de los campos fuente y objeto. El artículo muestra y concluye el poder cognitivo de los recursos creativos multimodales en relación a (AA) para integrar las experiencias pasadas, presentes, y futuras de los niños y niñas, fortaleciendo así su sentido de identidad y pertenencia.
