Abstract:

I offer my former experiences coping with adolescent cancer as evidence to warrant my exploration into coping as a narrative and performative matter of identity. I articulate coping as performative and narrative apperception, wherein the act of coping can be a performative act reflexively tethered to narrative identity, and entrenched in sociocultural constructs. I argue that (a) a cancer diagnosis and cancer narratives are language in action; (b) there is a liminal and uncertain state of all cancer patients, and adolescent patients in particular; and (c) narratives and their discursive struct

Abstract:

Turning points are considered to refer to emotional and important events. The present study compared turning point memories to other memories on several ratings and investigated the association between turning points, distress and meaning. Memories may act as organising units in extended narratives, hence the study also tested whether overlap between memories and extended illness narrative was associated with a more coherent narrative. Fifteen patients with breast cancer were asked to tell a 10-minute narrative about their illness course and describe meaning in their illness. Each patient was

Abstract:

Patients' self-narratives articulate the social and psychological experiences of disease. Listening to these narratives enhances understanding of their pain and distress, aiding in rediscovering life's meaning post-illness. Using grounded theory analysis, this study developed an "element-identity-strategy" model from Zhihu cancer narratives, highlighting elements like narrative closure, feedback, and local culture. Patients use dimensions of body, self, and relationships in their narratives to create identities such as physical sufferers and self-worth victims. Cancer survivors draw from perso

Abstract:

Maintaining the continuity of the 'self' is crucial for finding meaning and ensuring psychological well-being. However, the traumatic encounter with cancer disrupts the normal flow of life stories, challenging coherence. Beyond its physical toll, cancer challenges one's sense of self, identity and overall psychological resilience. As personal narratives unfold, encompassing evolving life stories from one's reconstructed past to the present and envisioned future, inherently reflecting the dynamic conception of self, it becomes imperative to investigate how these narratives shape self-concept an

Abstract:

While infection has always haunted civilizations around the world, there are very few diseases that have had as much of an impact on Western culture as cancer has. The abundance of bereavement literature about characters with cancer begs the question; why cancer? This paper discusses ways in which cancer narratives reinforce Western obsession with control, through the lens of rhetoric and narrative structure. The author will specifically discuss how Patrick Ness’ 2011 novel, A Monster Calls, combats modern illness and cancer narratives and challenges themes of control threaded into Western cul

In the field of chronic and serious illness, meaning-making with regards to the illness experience has been shown to be a core process for patients. This study focuses on women's narratives of their experiences of living with breast cancer. Within the framework of narrative psychology, illness narratives are considered to provide the main means through which patients make sense of their illness experience and construct its place in their life story. In this paper, we present findings from a narrative study that aimed to explore the different meanings that breast cancer holds for Greek women. I

Emotions, like joy and sorrow, feature in illness narratives, dramatizing stories of becoming: sick, well, controlled, in control. However, brief emotions, such as surprise, have received limited analytic attention in cancer illness narratives. Drawing on 20 interviews with 11 participants with diverse cancer diagnoses, along with the 455 photographs they produced for this study, we address the complex interactions between discourse, societal expectations, and perceptions in moral-affective economies.

This personal narrative tugs at the heart strings. However, personal narratives are not sufficient to justify public funding for any screening policy.

The author wants public funding for prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer. However, why only prostate cancer? Numerous cancers at various stages can be screened for.

AbstractThis article explores the nexus between narrative and metaphor by examining a specific and widespread metaphor in the discourse on cancer, namely “the war against cancer”, and paying attention to the function it has in the narratives we tell about cancer – personally as well as culturally and politically. Of special interest is how this dominant metaphor has a negative consequence in relation to the seriously and incurably ill, who are necessarily positioned as ‘losers’. The concepts of master and counter-narrative are applied to describe this and show how the war metaphor can be gener

Introduction. The paper aims to establish whether cancer discourse can alter when being communicated via social networks. We supposed that every platform has intrinsic characteristics which might affect the way certain topics are being delivered. Because there has been much criticism from the cancer community about the media representation, we decided to observe what might be called an alternative discourse of cancer of social networks. Therefore, we chose to review Instagram accounts of two cancer influencers, who aspire to revise existing stereotypes about people with an incurable disease.Me

Abstract:

Illness narratives are stories that focus on, or are inspired by, the sometimes life-altering experience of illness. Most narrative constructions of these illness experiences are built upon one of three broad narrative “skeletons.” One skeletal subform, the romantic/warrior narrative, is critiqued by comedian Norm Macdonald in a humorous anecdote that mocks the expectation that cancer patients must wage an epic and heroic battle against their pernicious cancer to have a chance to survive. Macdonald explicates that such a mentality produces heroes and villains, winners and losers, and places ad

Abstract:

Research about health loss shows that the way we experience critical moments and build a new identity are important in giving meaning to disease. It allow to integrate the experience of illness into the whole of life. The aim of the research was to analyze the narrative identity reflected in the life history and to explore the factors contributing to the differences in the formed narratives. A research question was: what narrative about one’s life does a person with an oncological disease create? The Polish adaptation of Dan McAdams’ life story interview was used.

Abstract:

Digital affordances reconfigure the perception of illness, revealing the cultural construction of embodied experiences. Though precarity and fragility deepen our understanding of cancer, the susceptibility to generate blame and misunderstanding reinforces panic in the afflicted. Self-blame subjugates individuals, perpetuating fear through falsified experiences and fabricated realities that homogenise personal experience of illness. Moreover, the manipulation of technomedicine to disseminate false hope and knowledge is significant. Conversely, digital narratives subsume shame, stigma, and silen

Abstract:

The focus on cancer rehabilitation has increased, but breast cancer patients still report unmet rehabilitation needs. Since many women today will live long beyond their diagnosis, there are multiple challenges for the healthcare system in supporting these women in their new life situation. A more individualized approach is seen as necessary to optimize the rehabilitation for survivors. Pathographies, i.e., autobiographical or biographical accounts of experiences of illness, expose us to personal accounts of the journey through illness and treatment, offering us details, emotions, phrasings, an

Abstract Informed by a mothering-disruption framework, our study examines the illness narratives of women cancer survivors living in Southern Central Appalachia. We collected the stories of twenty-nine women cancer survivors from northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia using a multi-phasic qualitative design. Phase I consisted of women cancer survivors participating in a day-long story circle (n=26). Phase II consisted of women cancer survivors who were unable to attend the story circle; this sample sub-set participated in in-depth interviews (n=3) designed to capture their illness narrativ
