Abstract

The study analyzes in the novel Mene (1936) by Ramón Díaz Sánchez, the representation of changes in environmental sounds, the product of oil exploitation and its impact on the inhabitants of a Venezuelan region. The narrator uses sound as a carrier for the drastic changes generated by the nascent industry, using simple auditory images, similes and metaphors. The construction of metaphorical concepts is approached from the theory of Lakoff and Johnson (1980). The methodology is documentary analytical cut where the treatment of emerging categories by the author is revealed. The results stand out as a group of metaphors are developed from a particular metaphorical concept, derived from a way of understanding the world from experience. It is concluded that the author, through the work, expresses complex forms of systemic thinking, where literary figures represent constructs that drive the logical chain of ideas.
