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.

评分肃然起敬。
评分一不小心又去逛了趟書店。

评分第一部分比较个人化,第二部分(AIDS and its metaphor)我觉得倒是讲了些social/political/collective response。有一点需要吐槽…第一部分虽然很多很精彩的想法,但有点碎片化,东一个西一个的,有时候读到半中腰就要自己去查查资料分析分析。我觉得这种体验还蛮怪的,因为显得整第一部分没什么主要论点,感觉像想到哪写到哪一样。
前些日子比较艰难的把苏大姐的《疾病的隐喻》读完,一路下来,八个大字形容,头皮发麻,脑海生青。倒不是有多么困难的理解,而是根本无法融会贯通,前后文连接不起来,中心点也摸不准透,只得看一点又回头翻一点,直至书完,前面所有又似新书一般毫无印象。表于皮象之外的读书...

评分对这本书感兴趣,首先是因为作者苏珊•桑塔格,她是在去年去世的吧,当时很轰动,报纸杂志纷纷刊登她的生平,那个时候就感觉,这是个坚强的女人,不服输的、有思想的、从事学术研究的女人。 这本《疾病的隐喻》其实是一本文集,是两篇批评文字的合集,这点从该书的英文名...
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...
评分感觉桑塔格是想用福柯的方式来消解癌症以及艾滋病,但不是很成功。首先是功课做的没有福柯那么足,这或许也是情有可原的。另一个重要原因大概是癌症与艾滋病与“疯癫”比起来还是具有某些不易轻易消解的因素,比如那些更“硬”的生理和病理特征。当然,围绕癌症与艾滋病当然也...
