《疾病的隐喻》与文化研究

Illness as Metaphor and Cultural Studies

苏珊.桑塔格对于西方文化中"疾病隐喻"的分析,揭示了人类文化在疾病隐喻中表现出来的问题。她的批评实践触及文化研究的一些重要问题:隐喻修辞与意识形态之间的关系、身体的文化与道德意义以及疾病与"他者"的建构。

Susan Sontag＇ s analysis of the ＂Mness as Metaphor＂ in western culture reveals the weaknesses and problems of the human culture existing in ＂Illness as Metaphor＂. Her critic practice contains some important issues in cultural studies： the relationship between the metaphor as a kind of rhetorical device and ideology, the cultural and moral meaning of body, and the relationship between illness and the construction of ＂the other＂.
