Barred from fighting in WWII due to poor eyesight, Bucky attempts to atone for this self-perceived failure of masculinity by acting as a rational, masculine-coded voice quelling \"hysterical\" noise. However, Bucky's decision to leave his post catalyzes a crisis of identity when polio follows him in his retreat. As he draws closer to his \"destiny\" of self-imposed exile, I show how his attitudes about music, sound, and silence parallel his shifting sense of self. By denying himself the pleasure of listening to music he once loved-by embracing the silence of social alienation rather than the bustle of community engagement-Bucky becomes a character in a self-determined tragedy, destroying any chance for restitution in his life story.</p>","PeriodicalId":44538,"journal":{"name":"LITERATURE AND MEDICINE","volume":"43 2","pages":"522-545"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148200409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hedva politicizes their illness against the backdrop of a capitalist ideology, identifying chronic illness as a material-discursive phenomenon and uncoupling it from individual blame and responsibility.

To address these questions, this article first demonstrates how the field of cultural trauma studies has focused on trauma to the neglect of more positive post-traumatic states. To address this gap and flesh out the concept of \"post-traumatic protests,\" I analyze metaphysical, aesthetic, and linguistic post-traumatic protests from world literature, arguing that these works appear to foster healing, resilience, resistance, and growth.

Despite the book's relative obscurity in discussions of American literature, historians of psychiatry still invoke the idea that it is an \"autobiography of genuine literary merit,\" suggesting that the link between the mental hygiene movement and the literary imaginary was not coincidental-it was constitutive. This paper provides a new aesthetic and political history of the idea of \"mental health,\" pushing back against the prevailing view that Beers's book is a well-meaning instance of turn-of-the-century liberal progressivism that prioritized the patient's voice. It argues that Beers and his mental hygiene movement instead localized the health of the nation in the individual's mental health, giving aesthetic form to later practices of bio-psychiatric nation-making.</p>","PeriodicalId":44538,"journal":{"name":"LITERATURE AND MEDICINE","volume":"43 2","pages":"500-521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148200440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, it attends to the location of shame in a \"type\" of self-harming character, the significance of visibility and exposure in narratives of self-harm, the function of genre in invoking or communicating shame, and the uncertain relationship between destigmatization and the enforcement of norms.
