課程概述

這是一本討論老的課程,藉由醫學人文的跨領域研究,透過文學與醫學史的跨界角度來看待老,討論老的概念如何影響書寫創作,也討論老的價值如何影響。這門課程想要討論的,是老如何影響文學,以及文學如何反應關於老的諸多面相。如果說影響深遠的文學作品以及哲學思潮是西方世界重要的文化基底,那麼這些重要的作品便是文學書寫蘊含的豐厚底蘊,一道道的命題與鋪陳,不只是告訴人們,老是怎麼一回事,更要啟發人們,該用如何的角度與方法,來反覆思索辯證老對於人類的生命價值。
本課程檢視英美、東亞、台灣的記憶書寫與老化老化,對照醫學史的發展與社會文化思潮,閱讀醫學、文學、電影、流行文化、影像創作等互文交錯的自我認知與生命觀照。藉由反思老化等同於弱化、孤立、無用、失能的排他性想像,檢視老化書寫呈現的國族寓言與倫理危機,並省思老化書寫是否跨越疾病與健康、老化與青春、記憶與空洞等簡易化約的二元對立標準,進而尋思老化與失憶書寫具有建立認同與開啟療癒的積極意義。 

課程目標
本研究課題希望透過文學書寫、當代思潮與醫療史的結合,一同檢驗當代人類社會在人口老化與失憶與失能威脅下所建構的的健康與生命議題,重新思考老化與失憶的議題在社會醫療化與醫療問題化過程中產生的倫理衝擊,思考因應醫療模式與風險管理的趨勢下展現的文學創作與醫學論述樣貌。主要的議題為老化論述的考掘以及失憶書寫的混亂與重建論述,藉由檢視文學書寫傳統的老化書寫脈絡,檢視並展望失憶症陰影下的健康觀照。

本課程在醫學與文學跨界思考的基礎上深化這兩門學科的互動連結,結合英美文學、當代台灣文學、醫學史、文化研究,將文學與文化的生產透過醫學史觀的角度分析閱讀。透過導入醫療史觀念與情境脈絡,便於激發思考與討論的深度與廣度。都是為了連結這兩個看似距離遙遠的學科,企圖在跨領域閱讀的激盪下,開啟更多元的文學研究策略與省思,以及更具跨界關懷的人文教育視野。 
課程要求
課程透過教師演說、小組討論、期末研究報告等方式評量。學期間由教師選定的文學與電影作品、文件檔案等進行導讀與討論,每週授課進行討論,並依照課程進度規劃的議題進行小組報告,並於學期末針對課程閱讀與討論主題衍生的老化、安養、照護等相關議題提案進行研究報告,經與授課教師討論後自主決定期末報告進行的形式與研究策略。

如學生遭遇困難導致無法配合課程要求,請儘早與授課教師討論,協議替代學習方案。
