Militarized Cancer: People with a Diagnosis and the War in Ukraine
Blog: TRAFO – Blog for Transregional Research
Abstract
By Olha Labur. War is an extraordinary and powerful event in a person's life. War militarizes lives, languages, and everyday experiences – even disease becomes a metaphorical image.The militarization of the oncological sphere during the war is not only a prompt reaction to the new situation in the Russo-Ukrainian War, but also impacts and transforms it. More than before, the voices of people who are marginalized and made taboo because of the disease have a wider reach. They are recognized as more involved in socially important processes, and their stories become valuable to society.
