The primary way of presenting phenomena which are elusive for the senses, the mechanisms of which exceed our direct cognitive abilities (e.g. viruses, bacteria, infection, treatment) and those that require abstract thinking is through a process of metaphorization. Before the bacteriological breakthrough, diseases could be conceptualizedby means of metaphors of the imbalance of the internal system; of punishment, flaw, and sin; of mechanical defects; or by means of personalisation or reification. After Louis Pasteur, the war metaphor was developed and, with technological development, also the mechanistic metaphor, and then the bioinformatics metaphor. On the other hand, today we can see that, as we with become more aware of this process, there is also a need for a new way of their metaphorization to respond to new diseases, especially chronic and incurable ones. In thispaper I will try to indicate and briefly discuss various metaphors of disease; however, the bulk of the attention will be dedicated to metaphors linking disease with war, as they are most popular in the contemporary culture.

The assessment of the Polish authorities’ reaction to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 is ambiguous. Among researchers, historians, and journalists, there are often extremely different opinions on the preventive actions taken and the information policy of the PRL government. These differences are also visible in the assessment of the long-term effects of these actions. As a result of widespread disinformation during the disaster and subsequent conflicting narratives, so-called “radiophobia” and social experience marked by distrust and fear have grown, being structures of long duration and a cognitive matrix present in the reception of current events. The article aims to present interpretative doubts in the assessment of actions taken after the disaster and their contemporary consequences, primarily in the context of broadly understood nuclear threats.

Most sources after the political transformation of 1989 focus on the medical aspects of smallpox epidemics, tendentiously avoiding analyses that could present the actions of state institutions of the “rightly bygone” system in a flattering tone. Materials from before the transformation, on the other hand, glorify the operation of the state apparatus, sometimes omitting draconian and, from our perspective, regime solutions of the then authorities aimed at suppressing epidemics at all costs. The aim of the paper is to capture the events related to outbreaks of smallpox after World War II in both a political, social, and medical aspect.
