摘要

饮食失调症--一个包括神经性厌食症、贪食症、暴饮暴食以及其他许多与食物和进食之间存在问题的亚型关系的统称--位于医学、生物学、历史学、文化研究、性别研究和社会科学等不同学科的交汇处。虽然饮食失调症的形成和经历背后的原因既有个人因素,也有文化因素,但这些病症往往被从纯粹的生物医学角度进行分析--这往往排除了文化因素,或者被过度简化为西方文化传统中强加给女性身体的美的刻板印象的结果。与此相反,本文将饮食失调视为当代爱尔兰社会秩序和文学传统中文化异见的多层隐喻。文章分为不同的部分,但又相互关联:对饮食失调症的简要介绍;对表现憔悴的身体所带来的问题的思考;对我在研究过程中发现的原始资料的分类;以及对玛丽-奥唐纳的诗歌《阅读九月的向日葵》的分析,将其作为一个案例来说明厌食症在当代爱尔兰诗歌中的文字和隐喻运用。尽管分析是语言学的,但我采用的视角却是医学人文学科的,因为我将利用文学、文化和生物医学文献,提供一种与神经性厌食症的科学论述相辅相成的观点。欧唐纳的诗歌将与欧洲视觉艺术,尤其是摄影艺术联系起来考虑,以增强饮食失调症的跨国性。同时,在细读这首诗的同时,还将与 20 世纪末和 21 世纪初的其他爱尔兰诗歌进行比较分析,以强调国家背景在解释这种疾病的表现形式时的相关性。最终,这篇文章旨在为这一病症提供新的视角,并促进社会对这一病症患者的理解。

Re-thinking Eating Disorders as Cultural Pathologies in Contemporary Irish Poetry: A Case Study
Eating disorders—a generic term that includes anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating and many other subtypes of problematic relationships with food and eating—are situated at the interface of disciplines as varied as medicine, biology, history, cultural studies, gender studies and the social sciences. Although the reasons behind the development and experience of an eating disorder are individual as well as cultural, these pathologies tend to be analysed from either an exclusively biomedical perspective—which often excludes the cultural factor—or oversimplified as being the result of the stereotypes of beauty imposed on the female body in western cultural traditions. This essay, in contrast, looks at eating disorders as multi-layered metaphors of cultural dissidence within the social order and literary traditions of contemporary Ireland. It is divided into distinct, though interrelated, sections: a brief introduction to eating disorders; a consideration of the problems posed in the representation of emaciated corporealities; a taxonomical classification of the primary sources found in the course of my research; and the analysis of Mary O’Donnell’s poem “Reading the Sunflowers in September” as a case study to illustrate the literal and metaphorical employment of anorexia in contemporary Irish poetry. Although the análisis is philological, the perspective adopted is that of the Medical Humanities, in that I will make use of literary, cultural and biomedical literature in order to provide a view that is complementary to the scientific discourse around anorexia nervosa. O’Donnell’s poem will be considered in relation to European visual arts, particularly photography, in order to enhance the transnational dimension of eating disorders. At the same time, the close reading of the poem under analysis will be complemented by a comparative analysis with other Irish poems of the late 20th and early 21st centuries to underline the relevance of the national context in interpreting the representation of this disease. Ultimately, this essay aims to proffer new perspectives on the pathology and to contribute to the social understanding of those who experience it.
