課程概述

Course Description
This course aims to explore the concept of configuration of health, illness and medicine in Victorian novel and culture: their dominances, their variations, and above all, their obsession with and fear of their invisible enemies. The course focuses as much as possible on individual works belonging to the realm of literature and medical history, as well as theoretical frameworks of health and illness. This course plan to read these works as being inspired by great interpretative imagination or innovative medical science, and then to make sense of their relationship to social control and individual resistance. In essence, this course attempts to disentangle the complex symbiosis of health and disease, aspiration and fear, normality and governance, “us” and “them,” as each of these elements is brought about by the various and usually opposing narratives of medical narratives of health and contagion.
