Fw: (LML) On terminology: exploring the way forward

Ref.:    (LML) On terminology: exploring the way forward

From:  Alice Cruz, Quito, Ecuator


Dear friends,

I am sharing mine and Professor Patricia Deps' contribution to the ongoing, exciting and controversial discussion on how to dignify the language we use for the disease and for the persons who have experienced it or are still living with it. We sincerely hope that together we can find emancipatory and dignified terminology. We also believe that none terminology can be truly emancipatory if it does not reflect the voice and choice of persons who have personally experienced the disease or continue to live with it and its related social consequences and impact.

Queridos amig@s,

 

Partilho uma contribuição minha e da Professora Patricia Deps para a estimulante e controversa discussão em curso sobre como dignificar a linguagem que usamos para a doença e para as pessoas que a experienciaram ou que ainda vivem com ela. Esperamos sinceramente que, junt@s, possamos encontrar terminologia emanicpatória e dignificante. Também acreditamos que nenhuma terminologia pode ser verdadeiramente emancipatória se não reflectir a voz e a escolha das pessoas que experienciaram pessoalmente a doença ou continuam a viver com ela e o seu impacto e consequências.

Atentamente,

Alice
