Summary:	Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) claims that humans use their own bodies as a source of creativity for metaphors.

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.""
