Sintesi	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 content analysis is a qualitative approach that examines texts, media, and documents not merely for manifest meaning but for how they construct, reinforce, or contest relations of power, ideology, race, gender, and class. Grounded in critical theory traditions, it asks whose interests a text serves, what voices are silenced, and how language and representation naturalise dominant worldviews. It combines systematic analytic rigour with an explicitly emancipatory or transformative research stance.
