20.500.12556/RUL-189112 Metafora bolezni pri Susan Sontag The Metaphor of Illness in Susan Sontag V diplomskem delu Metafora bolezni pri Susan Sontag sem se posvetil raziskovanju koncepcije bolezni kot metafore, kot jo je predstavila ameriška filozofinja Susan Sontag v svojih delih Bolezen kot metafora in AIDS in njegove metafore. Kritika metaforizacije bolezni mi je služila kot osrednja točka za raziskavo, kako se bolezen razume v militantnem pomenu, kar omogoča povezati pojme bolezni, metafore, telesa in nadzora. V delu sem se osredotočil na to, kako se ta koncepcija kaže v kulturi in literaturi, zlasti na primeru literarnega dela Deklina zgodba Margaret Atwood, ki se osredotoča na žensko telo in povezuje bolezen kot metaforo s foucaultovskim konceptom nadzora in telesa. V delu sem obravnaval tudi filozofske in literarne premisleke o telesu kot simbolnem prostoru, kjer imata telo in bolezen posebno vlogo. Navezal sem se na foucaultovski koncept panoptikona kot modela družbenega nadzora, da bi premislil njegovo povezanost z doživljanjem bolezni in telesa. Analiziral sem družbeni odziv na pandemijo in razširjene metafore nevarnosti, čistosti in okužbe. V nalogi sem povezal motive nadzora, stigme in biopolitične regulacije z boleznijo kot sredstvom discipliniranja. V zaključku sem na ozadju koncepta de-metaforizacije bolezni, kot ga je predložila Sontag, razmišljal o možnosti drugačnega, demistificirajočega govora o bolezni in o sodobnem pomenu metafore v času kriz. The thesis The Metaphor of Illness in Susan Sontag explores the concept of illness as a metaphor, as presented by the American philosopher Susan Sontag in her works Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors. Sontag's critique of the metaphorization of illness serves as the central point for my investigation into how illness is understood as a metaphor for war and its militant aspects, which allows for thinking together the concepts of illness, metaphor, body, and control. Through the example of Margaret Atwood's book The Handmaid's Tale, which centers on the female body, I focus on how this concept is manifested in culture and literature, connecting the metaphor of illness with Foucault's concepts of control and the body. Consequently, I also address philosophical and literary reflections on the body as a symbolic space wherein the body and illness play special roles. Additionally, I explore Foucault's concept of panopticon as a model of social control and its connection to the experience of illness and the body, as well as analyze the social response to the pandemic and the widespread metaphors of danger, purity, and infection. The thesis connects the motifs of control, stigma, and biopolitical regulation with illness as a means of discipline. In conclusion, against the background of the concept of demetaphorization of illness as proposed by Sontag, I reflected on the possibility of a different, demystifying discourse about illness and on the contemporary meaning of metaphor in times of crisis.
