Abstract

In the award-winning and widely-acclaimed fictional novel, The Vegetarian, the author, Han Kang, relates a compelling and dramatic story of inexorable psychotic deterioration from the perspective of a tragically affected young woman and her close family members. Apart from a variety of interpretations of psychosis from historical, social, psychological, and feminist perspectives, the book also presents a detailed and realistic picture of objective psychotic symptoms that reveals insights into historic and nearly forgotten phenomenological concepts. In this literary case study, we analyze the symptoms remarkably described by the author and briefly review the medical literature on the phenomena of catatonia, schizophrenic autism, paragnomen and the praecox-feeling.

精神病文学个案研究:《素食者》。
在获奖并广受好评的虚构小说《素食者》中,作者韩康从一个受悲剧影响的年轻女子和她的亲密家庭成员的角度,讲述了一个引人入胜、戏剧性的故事,讲述了不可避免的精神病恶化。除了从历史,社会,心理和女权主义的角度对精神病的各种解释外,本书还介绍了客观精神病症状的详细和现实的画面,揭示了对历史和几乎被遗忘的现象学概念的见解。在这个文献个案研究中,我们分析了作者所描述的显著症状,并简要回顾了有关紧张症、精神分裂症、自闭症、超常症和先觉现象的医学文献。
