«Siento termitas bajo la ropa»: Metaforización en las narrativas conversacionales femeninas sobre osteoporosis
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Algunos de los cambios que los seres humanos experimentan en sus cuerpos a medida que envejecen van acompañados de un deterioro de su salud. Desde la perspectiva de los pacientes, este artículo se basa en narrativas de experiencias vividas con la osteoporosis, una enfermedad crónica que suele desarrollarse de manera inadvertida a medida que aumenta la edad y que es más frecuente en mujeres que en hombres. El estudio profundiza en las expresiones lingüísticas que utilizan pacientes mujeres para hablar de esta (su) enfermedad. En concreto, el estudio se centra en las metáforas que las pacientes utilizan para describir o compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias reales con la enfermedad y cómo estos contribuyen a proyectar una imagen de las propias mujeres, por un lado, pero también a proporcionar a sus pares (otras pacientes) más información, apoyarlas, ayudarlas a mejorar sus vidas y comprender los complejos cambios, síntomas y dificultades inherentes que tanto ellas como sus cuerpos y sus huesos pueden experimentar. Para cumplir con estos objetivos, se ha recopilado una muestra de narrativas conversacionales producidas voluntariamente de y por mujeres diagnosticadas con osteoporosis, donde se han identificado y analizado metáforas siguiendo la teoría de la metáfora cognitiva. Los resultados revelan una alternancia de metáforas positivas y negativas, donde las mujeres (se) enfrentan (a) el sufrimiento y las complejidades de la enfermedad, pero también son pacientes valientes y empoderadas, con sueños y vidas no estigmatizadas.
