Abstract

Artigo: O problema das metáforas na clínicaSapere aude -Belo Horizonte, v. 8, n. ABSTRACT:This article discusses the use of metaphors in the medical clinic and clinical teaching, extrapolating the issue to other therapeutic meetings, and highlighting the importance of language for health care practices. For this, it presents two different theoretical arguments about metaphor, a figure of language so significant for different areas of knowledge: arguments against the use of the metaphors rescued from the classic text of Susan SontagDisease as Metaphor. AIDS and its Metaphors, and a poetic theorizing favorable to metaphors as a form of expression and representation of feelings of pain and loss in the thought of Anatole Broyard -Intoxicated by my Illness and Other Writings on Life and Death. These two theoretical rescues are used to demonstrate the relevance of the problem to clinical practice. The article focuses on the linguistic question and the literalness in Gilles Deleuze's thinking, raising metaphors to the domain of philosophical concepts.
