    Las metáforas son claves para construir puentes mnemónicos con las mediaciones del pasado. Este artículo explorará este proceso usando las representaciones metafóricas de China en la prensa económica británica en la era contemporánea y evaluará en qué medida esta cobertura se basa sobre los estereotipos más antiguos de China. El poder de las metáforas estereotipadas de China radica en la utilización y aplicación de nuestro entendimiento compartido y de la imaginación nacionalmente específica de China. Las metáforas que conceptualizan a China como una ejemplificación prototipo del concepto occidental del Otro se asocian sistemáticamente con justificaciones ideológicas para los recuerdos y los imaginarios nacionales de China en los medios británicos.

    Metaphors are key to constructing mnemonic bridges to mediations of the past. This paper will explore this process using the metaphorical representations of China in the British economic press in the contemporary era and assess the extent to which this coverage is based upon older stereotypes of China. The power of stereotypical metaphors of China lies in the adept utilization and application of our shared understanding and nationally specific imaginations of China. Metaphors conceptualizing China as a prototypical exemplification of the Western concept of the Other are systematically associated with ideological justifications for national imaginations and memories of China in British media.
