Julia Darling's New Vocabularies of Pain: Mapping Body, Gender and Place

朱莉娅·达林私下指出，她作为一名作家的目标是“在艺术和政治之间找到一种新的语言，来描述我们周围发生的变化”(2004)。我的论文将挖掘达林打造的关于健康和疾病的创新文学词汇，讲述她自己的乳腺癌的身体政治，以及后工业时代泰恩赛德饱受创伤的公民身体。我将展示达林如何在激进的书面工作中以及在与临床医生的开创性合作中面对传统医学话语的不足--例如，在纽卡斯尔大学创建变革性手术剧院。

Julia Darling noted privately that her objective as a writer was to "find a new language, betweenart and politics, to describe the changes that happen around us" (2004). My thesis will excavateDarling's forging of an innovative literary vocabulary of health and sickness, addressing the bodypolitics of her own breast cancer and the traumatized civic body of post-industrial Tyneside. I willdemonstrate how Darling confronted the inadequacy of conventional medical discourse in radicalwritten work and during pioneering collaborations with clinicians - for example, in the creation ofthe transformative Operating Theatre at Newcastle University.
