摘要
通过重新考察女性病患在诊疗过程中的缄默行为可以发现,在明清医疗实践中,礼教意识并非刻板的界限.女性病患的声音在医疗场景中的缺失并不意味着她们在现实诊疗活动中的沉默.更重要的是,女性亲属在这一场景中与医者的正常交流揭示了"礼教"与"沉默"之间简单推导关系的矛盾性.女性病患的缄默行为绝非遵从于刻板的规则,而是充满流动性的选择.在此基础上,由于礼教的力量并非人们想象中那么强大,情感被作为一种重要的工具在医疗场景中对女性病患起到规诫作用.女性与欲望之间原本局限于医学理论的关联性,经过历史的重构实现了文化价值的转向.这种解释模式使得女性疾病的身体形成一种隐喻,预示着她们嗜欲的行为,从而令羞耻感得以实现其规诫作用.
Abstract
This study re-examines the silence of female patients in the diagnostic process in the Ming-Qing medical practice and finds that there was not a solid and rigid boundary between the consciousness of virtue and ritual.The absence of female patients'voices did not necessarily mean that they remained silent during the actual diagnosis or treatment process.More importantly,the normal communica-tion between their female relatives and physicians in the medical scene revealed a problematic contradiction in the relationship between silence and virtue,which did not exist in a simple derivation.The behaviours of women patients were not based on rigid rules,but on flu-id choices that were affected by emotions.Since the power of ethics was not as authoritative as people thought,emotions became an im-portant tool that ruled women patients'decision-making in health-seeking behaviours.The connection between females and sexual pas-sion,which was originally limited to medical theories,was reconstructed in history,realizing a shift in cultural value.This mode of inter-pretation shaped the illness existing in female bodies as a metaphor,predicting their licentious behaviours and allowing the emotion of shame to play its role in the rules of conduct.
