Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) claims that humans use their own bodies as a source of creativity for metaphors. Elisabeth El Refaie explores how metaphors change according to our body's alteration through diseases like cancer. Using an analysis of visual metaphor in thirty-five graphic illness narratives, she re-examines embodiment in traditional Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and proposes the notion of "dynamic embodiment."
