Battling Exile: Military Metaphors in the Narratives of Displaced Ukrainian Academics during the War

By Yulia Kiselyova and Viktoriia Ivashchenko

This essay examines military metaphors in the narratives of Ukrainian academics displaced as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian War. It explores how metaphorical language, particularly military metaphors, helps narrators express complex emotions, aspirations, and experiences related to war, forced migration, and their understanding of their professional mission in wartime.
