◎本學科內容概述：
本課程探究文學與醫學之間的跨學科對話，特別著重於文學與文化作品（包括醫療敘事、醫療圖像與影像敘事等）關照疾病、診療、照護等相關議題。本課程將從「敘事醫學」（narrative medicine）的定義開始，理解健康、疾病、治療與照顧背後的文化與歷史建構。此外，本課程意欲透過文學與文化的敘事角度，探索普羅大眾與專家對於醫療的看法。本課程希望透過文學與文化作品，瞭解敘事醫學的多重面向如何帶領閱聽者想像疾病。 |
◎本學科教學內容大綱：
本課程將分為幾個部分：首先，我們將檢視醫學如何成為獨立學科，並建構醫者、病家與照護者的關係。緊接著我們將閱讀以及聆賞疾病在文學與文化中的再現，並思索自身與他者對於疾病的觀感。最後，我們希望透過本課程瞭解敘事醫學達到醫學人文的整體觀，以及確立文學與醫學的相互依存。 |
◎本學科學習目標：
This course aims to introduce to students the concept of "narrative medicine" and its relation to literature and the study of health/medical humanities. With the medicine being constructed as a highly hierarchical and specialised subject, it is this course's purpose to shed a different light on medicine through literature and culture. Students will learn
1. to listen to the voices and stories of patients and caregivers
2. to reimagine the relationship among doctors, patients, and caregivers
3. how narrative medicine can provide medical humanities with a holistic view and by affirming the interdependence of literature and medicine |
