隐喻有助于塑造社会世界。然而，随着研究和语言指南主要集中在口头表达的污名化潜力上，需要更多地关注视觉隐喻在延续和挑战痴呆症特定观点方面的作用。通过半结构化访谈和焦点小组，本文探讨了痴呆症患者及其护理人员和/或亲人如何评估一种流行的痴呆症视觉隐喻，该隐喻将秋天的树木落叶映射到大脑/头部。分析认为三个主要的反应隐喻，即：（1）它不描绘痴呆症;（2）它有意义地解释了一个渐进的大脑退化的生物医学帐户;（3）它加强了不准确的和/或“绝望”的话语痴呆症涉及，与个人建议创造性的改变，以更好地适应他们的反话语。这些发现突出了视觉隐喻中的主观性、细微差别和多层话语的重要性，这些视觉隐喻可以间接地传达污名化的表征。
Metaphors help shape the social world. Yet, with research and language guidelines focusing primarily on the stigmatising potential of verbal representations, much greater attention is needed regarding visual metaphors’ role in perpetuating and challenging particular views of dementia. Through semi-structured interviews and focus groups, this paper explores how people with dementia and their carers and/or loved ones evaluate one prevalent visual metaphor for dementia that maps autumnal trees losing leaves onto the brain/head. Analysis considers three main responses to the metaphor, that: (1) it does not depict dementia; (2) it meaningfully explains a biomedical account of progressive brain deterioration; and (3) it reinforces inaccurate and/or ‘hopeless’ discourses of what having dementia involves, with individuals suggesting creative alterations to better fit their counter discourses. These findings foreground the importance of attending to subjectivity, nuance and multi-layered discourses within visual metaphors, which can indirectly convey stigmatising representations.
