What to do about the beast? Metaphor as an instrument of certain human beings categorization on the basis of the act of 22 November 2013 about a procedure towards persons with psychic disorders resulting a risk for life, health and sexual freedom of other persons
Abstract
The paper is to show the consequences of using in public
and legal discourse some expressions, which disseminate certain
metaphors in the individual and collective cognition. The analysed
example is the expression ‘the act about the beasts’ used
widely in Poland towards an act of 22 of November 2013 about
a procedure towards persons with psychic disorders resulting
a risk for life, health and sexual freedom of other persons. Such
an identification of the act has been a realization of the metaphor PERSON WITH PSYCHIC DISORDERS RESULTING A RISK
FOR LIFE, HEALTH AND SEXUAL FREEDOM OF OTHER
PERSONS IS A BEAST. This metaphor may be a psychological
means to facilitate dehumanized perception of certain human
beings.
