Conceptualizació metafòrica de la menopausa
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Resum
Al llarg de la història, la menopausa ha estat considerada alternativament com un pecat, un tipus de neurosi, una malaltia o una deficiència. Només recentment ha estat reinterpretada sota una llum més positiva com un nou començament, un viatge d'autodescobriment o una espècie d'energia interior. Cadascuna d'aquestes conceptualitzacions metafòriques reflecteix una ideologia particular que prové de punts de vista religiosos, biomèdics i feministes, entre d'altres. Tanmateix, el discurs de les dones sobre la menopausa ha estat històricament escàs, ocultat i silenciat pel tabú social que envolta aquest tema. Això ha canviat en les últimes dècades en començar les dones a parlar obertament sobre les seues experiències menopàusiques en els mitjans de comunicació. Adoptant com a marc l'Anàlisi Crítica de la Metàfora, aquest estudi investiga la conceptualització contemporània de la menopausa de les dones britàniques, tal com es reflecteix en les metàfores que utilitzen per parlar-ne. Els estudis sobre les metàfores de la menopausa són escassos i sovint es duen a terme des d'una perspectiva biomèdica o sociològica (feminista), els dos contextos en què tradicionalment ha tingut lloc la majoria de les converses sobre la menopausa. Analitzem un corpus de 105 testimonis de dones sobre la seua experiència, sentiments i pensaments sobre la menopausa. D'aquests textos se n'ha extret una col·lecció de 440 expressions metafòriques. L' anàlisi qualitativa de les dades ofereix un retrat detallat dels marcs metafòrics tant positius com negatius que subjauen al discurs de les dones contemporànies sobre la menopausa. A través d'aquesta investigació es pretén donar veu en aquest tema a les protagonistes reals: aquelles dones ordinàries que estan travessant una fase rellevant de les seues vides.
