Conceptualización metafórica de la menopausia

Contenido principal del artículo

Lorena Pérez Hernández

Resumen

A lo largo de la historia, la menopausia ha sido considerada alternativamente como un pecado, un tipo de neurosis, una enfermedad o una deficiencia. Recientemente ha sido reinterpretada de forma más positiva como un nuevo comienzo, un viaje de autodescubrimiento o una especie de energía interior. Cada una de estas conceptualizaciones metafóricas refleja una ideología particular asociada a perspectivas religiosas, biomédicas y feministas, entre otras. Sin embargo, el discurso de las mujeres sobre la menopausia ha sido históricamente escaso, ocultado y silenciado por el tabú social que rodea este tema. Esto ha cambiado en las últimas décadas al comenzar las mujeres a hablar abiertamente sobre sus experiencias menopáusicas en los medios de comunicación. Adoptando como marco el Análisis Crítico de la Metáfora, este estudio investiga la conceptualización contemporánea de la menopausia de las mujeres británicas. Los estudios sobre las metáforas de la menopausia son escasos y a menudo se llevan a cabo desde una perspectiva biomédica o sociológica (feminista), los dos contextos en los que tradicionalmente ha tenido lugar la mayoría de las conversaciones sobre la menopausia. Analizamos una colección de 300 expresiones metafóricas procedentes de testimonios de mujeres sobre su experiencia, sentimientos y pensamientos sobre la menopausia. El análisis cualitativo de los datos ofrece un retrato detallado de los marcos metafóricos que subyacen al discurso de las mujeres contemporáneas sobre la menopausia. Esta investigación pretende dar voz en este tema a las protagonistas reales: las mujeres que están atravesando una fase relevante de sus vidas.
