Let me second Ed's suggestion to check out Gozzi's work on metaphor (he's a colleague of mine in the Media Ecology Association). One of his books is: The Power of Metaphor in the Age of Electronic Media Raymond Gozzi, Jr. Hampton Press, 1999 Looks at metaphor in oral, print, and electric cultures, as well as discussion of many metaphors related to media and technology.

Don't think I'd call them "critiques," but you could read the two books authored by Ray Gozzi . . . I don't have the titles with me...but you'll find them via a library search....

I was hoping that someone could point me to some critiques of Lakoff and Johnson's book/theory 'Metaphors we live by' (1980, U of Chicago Press).
