Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled ˮAn Analysis of Situational Variations in the Literary Reasoning of Clementina Mihăilescu’s New Directions in British and American Studies” expands upon an interesting case study of various theoretical interdisciplinary issues, starting from Kelly’s theory of personality, Jung’s psychological model based on the process of individuation, Lacan’s three registers of human reality, White’s narrative contemporary historical theory, Lakoff’s psycho- cognitive approach to metaphor, metonymy and mental imagery, Ricardou’s theory of metaphor, Proust’s model, T. S Eliot’s phono-prosodic model and Lupașcu̕ s theory of the comprised third person, all meant to reveal the importance of the metaphor of vision which means to make the interpretor take account of facts that have been disregarded so far or to assign new moral and aesthetic values to those facts.
