ANTH 372 - Talk about Feeling Sick:Stories and Metaphors of Illness Spring,odd years

Institution:

Sonoma State University

Subject:

Description:

Severely ill individuals often remake a sense of their lives and their selves through the stories, or narratives, they tell about the disease. These stories, in turn, reveal key metaphors about how a culture thinks about bodies, diseases, and healing. By using selected narratives, we obtain a glimpse into how individuals experience threatening diseases, and better grasp how metaphors of shame, mind/body duality, and healing shape disease experiences in several cultures.
