Estar enfermo no se refiere solo a un estado disfuncional del cuerpo humano, sino también a un conjunto de experiencias individuales y colectivas que trascienden los aspectos biomédicos, en las cuales el lenguaje adquiere particular importancia. Susan Sontag señalaba que las metáforas aplicadas a enfermedades como el cáncer terminaban por afectar la salud del enfermo, por lo que insistía en eliminar del lenguaje de la enfermedad los elementos metafóricos. El artículo se propone examinar desde la hermenéutica de Paul Ricoeur aspectos claves de la metáfora que permitirían a una persona enferma afrontar el desafío de una dolencia grave. La experiencia de la enfermedad ocasiona que la continuidad y coherencia interna del individuo sea cuestionada, provocando una disrupción de la identidad de la persona. El recurso a la construcción de narrativas sobre la enfermedad ofrece a la persona que sufre una dolencia grave un nuevo contexto que abarca tanto el suceso de la enfermedad como los restantes eventos de la vida, otorgándoles un sentido y brindando la posibilidad de configurar (o reconfigurar) la identidad trastocada. La acción transfiguradora de la ficción se alcanza con el uso de metáforas que permiten la redescripción de un mundo en el cual la persona enferma proyecta sus posibilidades más auténticas. Finalmente, a través de dos testimonios literarios provenientes de la literatura femenina, se ejemplifica el papel positivo que las metáforas pueden cumplir en el discurso sobre la enfermedad.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The use of metaphors is common when talking about health and illness. Being sick does not refer only to a dysfunctional state of the human body, but also to a set of individual and collective experiences that transcend biomedical aspects, in which language acquires particular importance. Susan Sontag pointed out that metaphors applied to diseases such as cancer ended up affecting the health of the patient, so she insisted on eliminating metaphorical elements from the language of disease. The article intends to examine from Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics key aspects of the metaphor that would allow a sick person to face the challenge of a serious illness. The experience of the disease causes the continuity and internal coherence of the individual to be questioned, causing a disruption of the person's identity. The resort to the construction of narratives about the disease offers the person suffering from a serious illness a new context that encompasses both the event of the disease and the other events of life, giving them meaning and offering the possibility of configuring (or reconfiguring) the subverted identity. The transfiguring action of the fiction is achieved with the use of metaphors that allow the redescription of a world in which the sick person projects their most authentic possibilities. Finally, through two literary testimonies from women's literature, the positive role that metaphors can play in the discourse on the disease is exemplified.]]></p></abstract>
