O objetivo do nosso estudo é identificar diversas conceptualizações do corpo expressas em contextos da psicopatologia e literatura. Propomos uma categorização específica de sentenças literárias a partir da Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual (Lakoff e Johnson 1980, 1999) e a Teoria da Simulação do Contexto Limitado (Ritchie 2003, 2006, 2008). Com base no corpus analisado, mostramos que em manuais psiquiátricos, o corpo físico é sempre concebido em termos metafóricos envolvendo a categoria do CORPO COMO RECIPIENTE, portanto, com um alto grau de atributos não específicos. Em manuais de psicanálise, o corpo é representado por "sentenças sexuais-sensuais" ou por "noções" abstratas. A poesia italiana oferece uma representação adicional do corpo com ênfase especial nos órgãos e outras partes do corpo como "coração", "mão(s)", "face", mas também "sangue", "tórax", "braço(s)", "olho(s)", "seio(s)", "cabeça", "carne", "pele".

The goal of our study is to identify several conceptualizations of the body expressed in the contexts of psychopathology and literature. We propose a specific categorization of literary sentences drawing on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson 1980; 1999) and Context-Limited Simulation Theory (Ritchie 2003; 200; 2008). Based on corpus data, we show that in psychiatric manuals the physical body is always reasoned in metaphoric terms of the BODY - CONTAINER category, thus with a high degree of non-specific attributes. In psychoanalysis manuals, the body is represented by "sexual-sensual sentences" or by abstract "notions". Italian poetry offers an additional representation of the body with special focus on the organs and other body parts like "heart," hand(s)", "face", but also "blood", "chest", "arm(s)," "eye(s)","breast(s)", "head," "flesh," "skin".

Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la prevalencia de la Paracoccidioidomicosis en la comunidad de Guapa, Municipio Andrés Eloy Blanco del estado Lara, Venezuela. Se estudiaron 366 personas, a las cuales se les realizó una entrevista estructurada, examen físico y aplicación de la prueba intradérmica de paracoccidioidina, encontrándose un 47% de positividad, de los cuales el 58% eran varones y el 35% tenía entre 12 y 24 años. El 83% de los reactores positivos se dedica a las actividades agrícolas, y de éstos el 90% a la caficultura. El 53% de los individuos que se dedicaban a la caficultura tuvo una reacción positiva a la paracoccidioidina, mientras que el 43% de los individuos no caficultores tuvo reacción positiva. El 71% de los individuos reactores positivos era asintomático y el 29% presentó síntomas inespecíficos. Sólo se encontró un caso de paracoccidioidomicosis enfermedad (0,27%). Estos resultados constituyen un material de referencia para el desarrollo de futuras investigaciones y programas de control y prevención de dicha micosis

Abstract The objective of this investigation, was to determine the prevalence of Paracoccidioidomycosis in the community of Guapa, in the Municipality of Andrés Eloy Blanco of Lara State. 366 people were studied, all of who were subjected to a structured interview, physical examination and application of the paracoccidioidine intradermal test, resulting in a 47% positivity rate, of which 58% were men and 35% were between the ages of 12 and 24. 83% of the positive reactors are dedicated to agricultural labors, of these 90% are dedicated to coffee farming. 53% of the people dedicated to coffee farming were positive to the test, while only 43% of the people that didn't work with coffee were positive. 71% of the people with positive tests were asymptomatic and 29% presented unspecific symptoms.
