ANTH 372: Talk about Feeling Sick:Stories and Metaphors of Illness Spring,odd years
4.00 Credits
Sonoma State University
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. Prerequisites: ANTH 203 and upper-division standing or consent of instructor.
