道德化视角下的传染性疾病隐喻研究

Metaphorical Study of Infectious Diseases from the Perspective of Moralization

摘要: 传染性疾病正通过隐喻影响着当代社会公众对患者的观念、态度及行为，也干扰着患者对自身疾病的认知和决策，患者不仅要承受疾病带来的痛苦，同时也承受着丧失社会身份的心理创伤。对患者疾病的畏惧、命运的同情及生活习惯的谴责等隐喻道德化社会舆论导致传染性疾病在防治过程中造成困难。本文从社会伦理道德的角度出发，对传染性疾病(以艾滋病为例)在社会文化中的隐喻现象进行阐释与分析，旨在说明社会现状，呼唤对传染性疾病患者的身心关怀。
