摘要

This article examines body mapping interviews from a cultural studies and conversational linguistics perspective. The analysis is based on the phenomenological approach of a philosophy of embodied emotions. To imagine a hypothetical health risk and locate feelings in a body map by painting, drawing or writing, participants engage in a double reading process: they first read their own bodies and visually articulate their embodied emotions in a body map. In the interactional process, they verbalise the feelings they have drawn by reading from the map and making deictic references. Besides the usual metaphorical expressions of local reference, practices of temporal reference are particularly striking, containing pro- and retrospective elements as well as structural markers of relevance. The latter provide meaningful insights into risk perception and the processing of hypothetical health risks.
