Interpretation of Literary Illness Narratives from the Perspective of Doctor-patient Intersubjectivity
In the field of humanistic medicine,illness narratives are part of the life-writing of patients and doctors,representing a narrative method of constructing self-subjectivity.In the literary history,illness narratives have a clear line of development and have gradually gained an independent status as a literary theme.From the perspective of narrative medicine,illness narratives in literary texts articulate the"invisible"dimension of illness,bridging the gap between the"visible"and the"invisible".Taking Pai Hsien-yung's two short novels as examples,this paper makes a specific narrative medical interpretation of illness narratives in literary texts,showing their rich implications in moving from the discourse of the embodied experience of the"invisible"to the physical and spiritual salvation of physical and mental transcendence.The study also highlights the absence of the role of doctors in illness narratives in the past,and proposes the establishment of intersubjectivity between doctors and patients through the use of illness narratives in literary texts.
