תקציר	Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) is a qualitative method for uncovering how metaphorical language constructs, legitimises, or contests power relations and ideological positions in texts. Developed by Jonathan Charteris-Black (2004), it integrates Conceptual Metaphor Theory with the evaluative concerns of Critical Discourse Analysis to reveal the persuasive and ideological work performed by metaphors in political, institutional, and media discourse.	Critical thematic analysis (CTA) is a qualitative approach that combines the systematic coding procedures of Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis with the interrogative stance of critical theory. Rather than merely describing patterns in data, CTA asks whose interests those patterns serve, what power relations they reflect, and what is absent or silenced. It is used to surface ideology, structural inequality, and hegemonic assumptions embedded in participants' accounts or in texts.
