課程概述 |
Course Description:
Challenging conventional boundaries between the humanities and the sciences, this course explores the relationship between literature and medicine, and asks what kind of ground the two disciplines might share and how they might enrich one another. It provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary study of medicine and literature, a relatively new but flourishing field of interdisciplinary study and practice that has been established since the 1980s. Studies of Medicine and Literature is concerned with addressing the human side of medicine and as such draws theoretical, critical and practical insights from across the social sciences and the arts to explore the meanings attached to illness, disease, embodiment, disability, health and therapeutic encounters as reflected from literary. It embraces matters of ethics, aesthetics, history, representation and reflective practice.
The course begins by considering the range of concerns within Medical Humanities and within Literature and Medicine in particular. The opening class will provide a conceptual and theoretical framework of medical regulation to be followed with discussion of medical gaze, panoptican surveillance of health, biopower, hierarchy of health and sickness, the idea of normalization, the medicalization of the society, the assessment of risk in health, the role of narrative in medical ethics, illness narratives as life writing and fiction, plague narratives, and literature and the history of psychiatry. |

Course Objectives:
The goal of this course is to introduce the interdisciplinary studies of medicine and literature. By inviting students to think about the relationship between medicine and literature along with reflections on the concept
of “health” itself, this course seeks to problematize the concept of health, sickness and diseases that we take for granted. Is health just the lack of disease, with diseases considered merely pathological changes in the body? Are there overarching social determinants to health? Beyond the clinical domain of medical practices, are there any space for the open dialogue between literature and medicine, humanities and science, doctors and patients? This course introduces examples of interdisciplinary readings of medicine and literature in order to defamiliarize assumptions not only about wellness and disease, but also studies of humanities.
All in all, this course aims to
give an overview of the field of literature and medicine;
explore connections between literature and medicine;
explore the historical background of literature and medicine;
pursue an approach to interdisciplinary studies that is historically situated, literally contextualized and ethically informed;
enhance reflective capacity and powers of written and oral expression and argument. |
