Metonymy as a mechanism for reading intertexts. A case study in animated cinema

La metonimia como mecanismo de lectura de intertextos. Un estudio de caso en el cine animad

The popular stereotype dictates that animation is a genre or a product for children. Both conceptions could not be anything but wrong, since they end up disqualifying and underestimating the high potential that this artistic me- dium has to offer art. The background universes created from scratch reveal a network of ideas, meanings and references that lead us to understand them as complex and profound works. This text represents the vision of the world of cinema and animation considered through a rhetorical figure such as meton- ymy and explores its language from the conceptual, tropological, the visual and the sound elements. One of the many reading that can be done towards this world of stories and emotions.
