Abstract

Abstract Developed as a character in 2011, Mia is part of the world’s first breast cancer trilogy. Miai is a personal and professional project because the play’s roots are subjective (I lost my mother to breast cancer thirty years ago), as well as objective (I hold a PhD in Medical Humanities with publications at the intersection between the arts and medicine). This article focuses on the many cri(s)es that Mia faces as a woman. She is in her early thirties when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. The treatment is aggressive and, consequently, not only does she lose one of her breasts (via mastectomy), but she cannot keep a pregnancy. We meet Mia outside of the white and somewhat terrifying hospital walls, that is, we meet her at home, and because of that, we have the illusion that she is in a protected space. We soon discover otherwise.

米娅的许多哀号为了纪念罗迪卡

Mia是2011年开发的一个角色，是世界上第一个乳腺癌三部曲的一部分。Miai是一个个人和专业的项目，因为这部剧的根源是主观的(我的母亲30年前死于乳腺癌)，也是客观的(我拥有医学人文学科的博士学位，在艺术和医学的交叉领域发表过论文)。这篇文章的重点是米娅作为一个女人所面临的许多困难。她被诊断出患有乳腺癌时才三十出头。这种治疗非常激进，结果，她不仅失去了一个乳房(通过乳房切除术)，而且无法继续怀孕。我们在白色的医院墙外见到米娅，也就是说，我们在家里见到她，正因为如此，我们有一种错觉，觉得她在一个受保护的空间里。我们很快就会发现事实并非如此。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1999, American, British and Canadian Studies, the journal of the Academic Anglophone Society of Romania, is currently published by Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu. Re-launched in refashioned, biannual format, American, British and Canadian Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal that sets out to explore disciplinary developments in Anglophone Studies in the changing environment forged by the intersections of culture, technology and electronic information. Our primary goal is to bring together in productive dialogue scholars conducting advanced research in the theoretical humanities. As well as offering innovative approaches to influential crosscurrents in contemporary thinking, the journal seeks to contribute fresh angles to the academic subject of English and promote shape-changing research across conventional boundaries. By virtue of its dynamic and varied profile and of the intercultural dialogue that it caters for, ABC Studies aims to fill a gap in the Romanian academic arena, and function as the first publication to approach Anglophone studies in a multi-disciplinary perspective. Within the proposed range of diversity, our major scope is to provide close examinations and lucid analyses of the role and future of the academic institutions at the cutting edge of high-tech. With this end in view, we especially invite contributions in the fields of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Area Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Language and Linguistics, Multimedia and Digital Arts, Translation Studies and related subjects. With its wide subject range, American, British and Canadian Studies aims to become one of the academic community’s premium scholarly resources.
