課程概述

本課程檢視英文小說與電影電視的感染論述，透過分析小說、流行文化與醫學論述建構的感染文化與入侵想像，討論COVID-19陰影下感染書寫被賦予醫學化、異常化、病理化的文化與政治意涵，檢視為何感染顯示生命政治的規範治理，論述為何感染不只是身體的病徵，更顯示個人與集體抉擇的多元倫理面向，並針對感染實施的預防、隔離、治療等強制手段如何呈現科學理性對待身體的醫學化、標準化、正常化約制，以及當感染脫離他者的物化地位，轉身具有主體意識與動能的參與力量，人、環境、感染等緊密連結的物的議會概念得以成立，並得以從而檢驗人體與病菌共生結構概念下衍生行動網絡與液態現代性的議題與發展，而感染的身軀正是生命政治轉介為自我技術的關鍵環節。
This course examines classic and contemporary writings of contagions and their various manifestations as the unnamable thing itself in literature, popular culture, and medical narratives in the shadow of COVID-19

課程目標

透過課前閱讀、課程演說與小組討論，本課程希望透過人文研究與醫療史的結合，一同檢驗COVID-19衝擊下的健康倫理與生命政治議題，思考社會醫療化與防疫政治產生的倫理衝擊，檢視當代小說、電影與公眾論述的健康書寫與倫理轉向。主要的議題為感染防治的倫理建構以及爆發論述的失控想像。具體目標如下：
（一）閱讀爆發書寫與感染思潮︔
（二）建立醫學與人文的跨領域研究視野︔
（三）檢視感染與思想的歷史情境、書寫脈絡與倫理規訓︔
（四）提升閱讀理解、批判思考與表達參與的能力。
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 contagion, this course seeks to problematize the concept of health, well-being and security that we take for granted.
All in all, this course aims to
(a) give an overview of the field of outbreak narratives;
(b) explore connections between literature and medicine;
(c) pursue an approach to interdisciplinary studies that is historically situated, literally contextualized and ethically informed;
(d) enhance reflective capacity and powers of written and oral expression and argument.
