Meeting Description:

Experiencing illness and disease. Putting perceptions and emotions into
language

With the growing prevalence of technical possibilities in medicine and the
digitalisation of (health-related) knowledge, new “normalities” evolve. On the
one hand, individuals are increasingly confronted with a new (predictive) type
of health-related information and decision-making. On the other hand, digital
information about illnesses and diseases is emerging in an almost unmanageable
abundance. From an individual’s perspective, these developments lead to
difficulties in finding and selecting valid and trustworthy health
information. The new possibilities also create ambiguous conditions, such as
the “healthy ill”, which are accompanied by a variety of problems in
subjective health perception and embodied experience.

When these perceptions and experiences are communicated and manifest
themselves in narrative structures, metaphorical expressions, or emotive
sequences, they reveal underlying knowledge and coping strategies and,
furthermore, can become objects of linguistic analysis. The goal of this
symposium is to shed light on the complexity of such socio-semiotic
constructions of experience: Different current approaches within applied
linguistics such as metaphor analysis, analysis of narratives, or online
communication provide useful tools to elucidate subjective experiences of
illness and disease in times of medical technical and digital progress. Saskia
Juenger (Health Sciences) and Elena Semino (Linguistics) will frame the
symposium as keynote speakers.

For our symposium, we invite contributions which analyse such experiences on
the basis of (spoken and written) linguistic data. Different approaches,
methods, and languages are welcome.

Organizers: 

Dr. Carolin Schwegler (University of Koblenz, Germany) 
Daniel Knuchel (University of Zurich, Switzerland) 

Featured speaker: 

Prof. Dr. Elena Semino (University of Lancaster, United Kingdom) 
Dr. Dr. Saskia Jünger (University of Cologne, Germany)
