Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
In 1978 Susan Sontag wrote "Illness as Metaphor," a classic work described by "Newsweek" as "one of the most liberating books of its time." A cancer patient herself when she was writing the book, Sontag shows how the metaphors and myths surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering of patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, Sontag shows cancer for what it is--just a disease. Cancer, she argues, is not a curse, not a punishment, certainly not an embarrassment and, it is highly curable, if good treatment is followed. Almost a decade later, with the outbreak of a new, stigmatized disease replete with mystifications and punitive metaphors, Sontag wrote a sequel to "Illness" "as Metaphor," extending the argument of the earlier book to the AIDS pandemic. These two essays now published together, "Illness" "as Metaphor "and "AIDS and Its Metaphors," have been translated into many languages and continue to have an enormous influence on the thinking of medical professionals and, above all, on the lives of many thousands of patients and caregivers.

评分好棒.. 但是我没想到某人想要评论一篇论文的写作手法..
评分吃了点福柯下水也没形成自己的体系,倒是让人看出作者只是个逻辑混乱论证能力薄弱的文艺老大娘——断然是不能作为社科作品对待,骗骗想要装逼的文青足矣,这不就是出版的目的蟆?
评分Hard to read but very inspiring. Some parts of it made me feel uncomfortable though.
评分在近几天往返纽约的车程中重读了这本书。太喜欢桑塔格了,喜欢她对疾病之隐喻的分析,喜欢她的文风,也喜欢她作为“人”的部分。《疾病的隐喻》是桑塔格患癌后结合个人真实感受所写,这个部分我太能共情了!

评分俗话说“久病成医”。生病生得久了,对得的病也就开始逐步了解。大家或多或少都有这样的经历:尽管日常生活中我们接触的疾病千奇百怪,但除了专业人士,似乎很少有人愿意主动了解这些疾病。而一旦自己或者亲人、朋友得上其中一种病,情况就不同了。我们对此种疾病的关注程...
评分《疾病的隐喻》的前部“作为疾病的隐喻”是身为癌症患者的苏珊桑塔格,在备受疾病及其附加隐喻带来的生理与精神上的双重折磨中的思维结果。作为一个有着强健生存欲望和思考能力的生命个体,这个“文学批评的帕格尼尼”也倔强地做着相应的双重反击——积极的反复治疗并力图以自...
