課程概述 |
本課程檢視當代理論的感染論述，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。

課程目標 |
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 medical humanities;
• 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. |
