Abstract:This paper builds on simultaneous calls for a critical health humanities that engages with the complexities and difficulties of imaginative literature and with structural injustice, rather than straightforward formulations of interpersonal empathy. I take Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being (2013) as a case study for suggesting that attention to difficulty and disconnection in literary engagement is a critical methodology that can model and make visceral the challenges of empathy and structural consideration as processes that are deeply enmeshed in one another. Ozeki's novel depicts illness experience as a bodily state that is enfolded into the formulation of ethical responsiveness to both intimate and globally-connected others. The novel constructs these embodied processes as ones that fundamentally involve dislocation and incoherence. Embodied and ethical limitations beyond straightforward characterizations of pathology are thus also the ground for responding differently to intimate and global concerns both within and beyond the clinic

超越病理学的身体能力：在露丝·奥泽基 (Ruth Ozeki) 的《暂时的故事》中走向具身的主体间性

摘要：本文建立在同时呼吁批判性健康人文学科的基础上，该学科涉及富有想象力的文学的复杂性和困难以及结构性不公正，而不是人际移情的直接表述。我以 Ruth Ozeki 的 A Tale for the Time Being (2013) 作为案例研究，表明对文学参与中的困难和脱节的关注是一种批判性的方法，它可以将同理心和结构性考虑的挑战建模并使之内在相互纠缠。Ozeki 的小说将疾病体验描述为一种身体状态，它包含在对亲密和全球联系的他人的道德反应的制定中。小说将这些具体化的过程构建为从根本上涉及错位和不连贯的过程。因此，除了病理学的直接表征之外，具体的和伦理的限制也是对临床内外的亲密和全球问题做出不同反应的基础
