Visual metaphor and embodiment in graphic illness narratives / Elisabeth El Refaie.

"What happens [...] when ordinary embodied experience is disrupted by illness? In this book, Elisabeth El Refaie explores how metaphors change according to our body's alteration due to disease. She analyses visual metaphor in thirty-five narratives, re-examining embodiment in traditional Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and proposing the notion of dynamic embodiment."
