By developing a reader-response framework, an approach to a text that focuses on the reader's understanding of the content as opposed to the author's viewpoint or the text's structure, this project will explore the extent to which neuroscientific discussions regarding the effects of schizophrenia on the brain influence representations and understandings of the condition within the schizophrenic memoir. Memoirs authored by those with a schizophrenic spectrum condition are a growing literary sub-genre that remains largely unexplored. Using interdisciplinary methodologies to draw attention to the mind and the brain of the non-schizophrenic reader of the schizophrenic memoir will demonstrate how multidisciplinary perspectives of a condition can challenge conventional understandings of the notions of health and well-being. In turn, this will make treatment and support for schizophrenia more socially accessible as well as providing a humanistic insight for scientific, medical and psychoanalytical practitioners, meaning ultimately that social policy will also be changed over time.This project will be separated into three sections:Section 1: Contextualisation (2018-9)This section will initially focus on the development of the memoir genre. Once key features of the broader memoir genre have been established I will explore the emerging subgenres, focusing on the neuro-memoir. I will then outline how the schizophrenic neuro-memoir has become a subgenre with its own distinct multidisciplinary tropes that demand attention under the neuro-critical lens. During this year I will establish working relationships with interviewees, support and reading groups.Section 2: Areas of complexity (2019-20)Focus here will be on additional areas of complexity that arise within the schizophrenic memoir. These will be:- The ethical concerns surrounding the responsibility an author has in their representation of schizophrenia.- How perceptions of reality are challenged within the schizophrenic neuro-memoir not only through forms of hallucinations but through prescribed psychoactive drugs.- Exploring these ethical concerns and challenges as an emulation of the struggle for control an individual has over their own identity due to the condition and their treatment experiences.Section 3: Defining a Neurodiverse Reading Approach (2020-21)With the distinctness of the schizophrenic neuro-memoir highlighted and the ethical concerns outlined, the relationship between the neuro-memoir and the reader can be used to outline a neurodiverse reading approach. Two distinct areas will be highlighted;- The advantages and disadvantages of utilising neuroscientific dialogues surrounding cognitive deficits to understand schizophrenia as presented in the neuro-memoir and the effect it has on a reader's understanding of the literary narrative and mental well-being.- The influences upon the non-schizophrenic reader that impact the reading process and thus the potential social impact of the schizophrenic neuro-memoir.

通过开发读者反应框架，这是一种关注读者对内容的理解而不是作者的观点或文本结构的文本方法，该项目将探索神经科学关于精神分裂症对大脑的影响的讨论在多大程度上影响精神分裂症回忆录中对病情的表达和理解。那些患有精神分裂症谱系疾病的人写的回忆录是一个日益增长的文学亚类，在很大程度上仍未被探索。使用跨学科的方法将注意力吸引到精神分裂症回忆录的非精神分裂症读者的头脑和大脑上，这将展示对一种疾病的多学科视角如何挑战对健康和幸福概念的传统理解。反过来，这将使精神分裂症的治疗和支持更容易被社会接受，并为科学、医学和精神分析从业者提供人文洞察力，这意味着最终社会政策也将随着时间的推移而改变。本项目将分为三个部分：第一部分：情境化(2018-2009年)这一部分最初将重点放在回忆录体裁的发展上。一旦确定了更广泛的回忆录体裁的关键特征，我将探索新兴的子体裁，重点是神经回忆录。然后，我将概述精神分裂症神经回忆录是如何成为一个子流派的，它有自己独特的多学科比喻，需要在神经批判性镜头下受到关注。在这一年里，我将与受访者、支持和阅读小组建立工作关系。第2节：复杂性领域(2019-20年)这里的重点将是精神分裂症回忆录中出现的其他复杂性领域。这些将是：-围绕作者在精神分裂症表现中的责任的伦理问题。-精神分裂症神经回忆录中对现实的感知如何受到挑战，不仅通过幻觉的形式，还通过处方精神活性药物。-探索这些伦理问题和挑战，作为对个人因疾病和治疗经验而对自己身份进行控制的斗争的模拟。第三节：定义神经多样化阅读方法(2020-21)突出精神分裂症神经回忆录的独特性，概述伦理问题，神经回忆录和读者之间的关系可以用来勾勒出神经多样化的阅读方法。将重点介绍两个不同的领域；-利用神经回忆录中围绕认知缺陷的神经科学对话来理解精神分裂症的优点和缺点，以及它对读者理解文学叙事和精神健康的影响。-对非精神分裂症读者的影响，影响阅读过程，从而影响精神分裂症神经回忆录的潜在社会影响。
