In an interdisciplinary approach blending literary analysis, critical medical humanities, sociology (with a focus on the emerging convergence between addiction and adolescent studies) and gender-studies, this project expands discussion on patient-centred medicine and the role of narratives to give voice to experiences of the neglected population of adolescents experiencing alcoholism, both personally and within their family unit. Through analyzing the experience of adolescents in France and francophone Canada as expressed textually and visually through a varied corpus of autofiction, fiction, autobiography and bandes dessinées, this project sheds light on this silenced voice of the lived experience of alcoholism.This project analyses the experience of adolescents in France and francophone Canada who live in households where alcoholism is experienced as a social and medical illness. It draws on perspectives offered in literature in French to engage with the following questions:1.How does literature give voice to the taboo experience of adolescents who live in households where their parents/carers/guardians suffer from alcoholism, or where the adolescent themselves experiences alcohol addiction? How does the language used in these texts borrow from or challenge cultural, medical and/or public health discourses of alcoholism?2.Given different socio-cultural attitudes and responses to alcoholism, what differences and similarities are presented between representations of family alcoholism in French and Franco-Ontarian narratives? 3.In light of the sociological links between alcoholism and masculinity, how does gender influence expression of the lived experience of the adolescent affected by alcoholism?4.How is care represented in francophone narratives in which an adolescent is an addict or part of a household where alcohol addiction is experienced? How does institutional care interact with the dynamics of family care? Research Context-While alcohol consumption in the western world has fallen since the 1960s, alcohol-related deaths have risen sharply. A 2018 World Health Organisation report noted that France remains 6th out of the 34 OECD countries for alcohol consumption; indeed, there are over 2.5 times the numbers of deaths attributable to alcohol than to cancer in France. In Ontario, studies have shown that from 2003 to 2016, emergency department visits for alcohol consumption increased 4.4 times more than overall visits (Myran et al, 2019). Recent evidence suggests that alcohol abuse has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdowns. Journalistic investigations and media discussions have, in the last year, sought to break the taboo on alcoholism in France, notoriously a private affair, including the particular experience of women. To date, though, the particular experiences of adolescents suffering from alcoholism, or living with alcoholic parents/guardians, have been missing from these discussions. My project analyses, for the first time, a rich multigeneric corpus (of fiction, autofiction and bandes dessinées) published in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century which privilege the perspective of adolescents living with alcoholism, either personally or as part of a family unit: Germain's Poison (1985), Levac's Petite crapaude! (1999), Vilain's La Dernière Année (1999), Fournier's Il a jamais tué personne, mon papa (1999), Kramer's Une famille (2018), Valambois' Mal de mère (2015), and Louis' Mon père ce poivrot (2019). The focus on France and francophone Canada will add to anglophone perspectives like Bunday's 1990 and Lacy's 2015 studies into depictions of parental drinking in young adult literature as well as Jolly's 2007 paper on understanding adolescent voice as guide for best practice in nursing.

该项目采用跨学科方法，融合了文学分析、批判医学人文、社会学（重点关注成瘾与青少年研究之间正在出现的融合）和性别研究，扩大了对以病人为中心的医学的讨论，以及叙述的作用，以表达被忽视的酗酒青少年群体的个人和家庭经历。通过分析法国和加拿大法语区青少年的经历，通过各种自传体小说、小说、自传和乐队的作品在文本和视觉上表达出来，这个项目揭示了这种沉默的酗酒生活经历的声音。该项目分析了法国和加拿大法语国家青少年的经历，他们生活在酗酒是一种社会和医疗疾病的家庭中。它借鉴了法语文学提供的观点，以参与以下问题：1。对于那些生活在父母/照顾者/监护人酗酒的家庭中，或者青少年自己酗酒的家庭中的青少年，文学是如何表达他们的禁忌经历的？这些文本中使用的语言如何借用或挑战酗酒的文化，医学和/或公共卫生话语？考虑到不同的社会文化态度和对酒精中毒的反应，法国和法国-安大略叙事中家庭酒精中毒的表现有什么不同和相似之处？3.鉴于酗酒与男子气概之间的社会学联系，性别如何影响受酗酒影响的青少年生活经验的表达？在法语叙述中，如果一个青少年是一个成瘾者，或者是一个有酒精成瘾经历的家庭的一部分，护理是如何表现的？机构护理如何与家庭护理的动态相互作用？研究背景——自20世纪60年代以来，西方世界的酒精消费量有所下降，但与酒精相关的死亡人数却急剧上升。世界卫生组织2018年的一份报告指出，法国的酒精消费量在34个经合组织国家中排名第六；事实上，在法国，死于酒精的人数是死于癌症的人数的2.5倍。在安大略省，研究表明，从2003年到2016年，因饮酒而到急诊室就诊的人数是总体就诊人数的4.4倍（Myran等人，2019年）。最近的证据表明，COVID-19封锁只会加剧酒精滥用。去年，新闻调查和媒体讨论试图打破法国对酗酒的禁忌，这是出了名的私事，包括女性的特殊经历。然而，到目前为止，这些讨论中一直没有涉及到青少年酗酒或与酗酒的父母/监护人生活在一起的特殊经历。我的项目首次分析了20世纪末和21世纪初出版的丰富的多类语料库（小说，自传体小说和bandes dessinacmes），这些语料库以个人或作为家庭单位的一部分的酗酒青少年的视角为重点：热尔曼的毒药（1985），莱瓦克的Petite crapaude！（1999年）、维兰的《悲惨的生活》（1999年）、富尼耶的《我是一个幸福的人》、我的爸爸（1999年）、克莱默的《我是一家人》（2018年）、瓦朗布瓦的《悲惨的生活》（2015年）和路易斯的《悲惨的生活》（2019年）。对法国和讲法语的加拿大的关注将增加以英语为母语的观点，比如邦迪（Bunday） 1990年和莱西（Lacy） 2015年对年轻成人文学中父母饮酒描写的研究，以及乔利（Jolly） 2007年关于理解青少年声音作为护理最佳实践指南的论文。
