Summary/Abstract: The article examines the various forms of metaphorical use of the term "remake" in the Bulgarian political discourse. They refer to: A) the general knowledge of political leaders; B) the electoral cycle; C) corruption practices; D) protest actions. In all these cases, the metaphorical transfer carries a negative value charge, insofar as it means the absence of new projects and visions for the social reality. Attention is drawn to the "reverse mimesis" which, unlike Aristotle, means the imitation or reproduction of patterns borrowed from the field of verbal and visual arts in public life.
