Semiotic considerations on the metaphorical uses of environmental order in the discursive production system of His Holiness Bartholomew, ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople
The purpose of this paper is to identify the use of existing metaphors in the discursive production system deployed by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, His Holiness Bartholomew. The rhetorical figures displayed by the patriarch express deep environmental senses that allow process of reflection and environmental and cultural action. The text gives guidelines and suggests that metaphorical and metonymic language is central to the appropriation of action guides, anchored in a semiotics of religion, attentive to recognizing ontologies and figurative senses, which allow to broaden the understanding and interpretation of the process of signification
