The aim of this paper is to map cognitive dynamics of meaning construction
in Spanish language as articulated in Ortega y Gasset’s philosophical essay La
deshumanización del arte / The Dehumanization of Art [1925]. We will focus on how
the human element is conceptualized, i.e., created and understood by the author. Our
method is based on the application of cognitive models of conceptual analysis found
in Cognitive Linguistics known as Idealized Cognitive Models – ICMs [Lakoff & Johnson
1980] like Image Schema, Metaphor, Metonymy, and their developments as conceptual
blends in Conceptual Integration Theory – CIT [Fauconnier & Turner 2002].
The high philosophical complexity of this text’s nuclear conceptual structure HUMAN
and DEHUMANIZATION makes it necessary to initially map them from theoretically
established cognitive approaches to language organization. In this paper we develop
such analysis as groundwork for a subsequent study involving a more dynamicist view
of their emergent meanings in the framework of Biopoetics [Guerra 2013, 2016].
