Degrees of voicelessness: epistemic injustice and eating disorder narratives

饮食失调的科目是脆弱的无意识，这个项目将使用文学，批评和后殖民理论，首先确定和解决的无意识的程度，饮食失调的科目是知情的。后殖民理论及其在医学人文领域的干预提供了对其他实践如何在生物医学上表现的洞察;在饮食失调话语中，这产生了一个规范的患者，他是白色、女性、年轻、自我饥饿和西方人。存在于这种虚构原型模型之外的患者“变得不可见，但这些患者仍然受到攻击所有厌食症患者的相同持久的社会耻辱”（Seaber，2016：3）。其次，我认为文学可以作为一个启发式的透镜，通过它来修改饮食失调的话语，以及阅读和写作的过程可以在发展与饮食失调的主题有关的道德实践的中心。

Subjects with eating disorders are vulnerable to voicelessness; this project will use literature, criticism, and postcolonial theory to first identify and address the degrees of voicelessness to which subjects with eating disorders are privy. Postcolonial theory and its interventions in the medical humanities provide insight into how Othering practices manifest biomedically; in eating disorder discourse this produces a normative sufferer who is white, female, young, self-starving, and Western. Sufferers who exist beyond this fabricated archetypal model 'become invisible, yet these patients are nevertheless subject to the same abiding social stigma that assaults all anorexia patients' (Seaber, 2016: 3). Second, I propose that literature can function as a heuristic lens through which to modify discourses on disordered eating, and that processes of reading and writing can be central in developing ethical practices of relating to subjects with eating disorders.
