“Subject to pain: Ricoeur, Foucault, and emplotting discourses in an illness narrative”
Tóm tắt
Drawing on Foucault’s notion of subjectification and Ricoeur’s narrative theory, and theory of a narrative human subject, ‘Subject to pain’ considers what might be at stake if incommensurable scientific and medical discourses, with different potentials for emplotment into narrative, accumulate in a culture around the signifier, “pain”. It then closely reads a short personal pain narrative, ‘Marcus: Injured lifting a child,’ and uncovers there the operation of such conflicting discourses, which produce contradictory implications, when narrativised, of causal and moral responsibility for pain, complicating Marcus’s own emplotted self-understanding, including as it is influenced by audience reception. “Subject to pain” thus engages with a multifaceted question: how might we understand—and respond to—interrelationships between (a) a human subject, (b) their subjectivity, (c) discourses of pain in that subject’s culture, and (d) an autobiographical illness narrative created by that subject, and that read by other human subjects?
