Performing Medical Diagnosis in Contemporary Artistic Representation

我的项目将探索不同的艺术实践媒介如何扰乱诊断的医学框架。我将着眼于医生办公室之外的诊断的影响，并检查专注于真实诊断经验的艺术表现。位于新兴的艺术和医学的交界处，诊断及其与表现的关系到目前为止一直被忽视。这个项目解决了一个被忽视的领域，将带来亟需的洞察力，并被证明对表演、医学教育和健康领域具有重要意义。在研究与诊断有关的艺术表现时，我将研究旁观的作用以及它如何跨越生活、医学和表演。借助米歇尔·福柯，我将探索诊断如何唤起一种评估身体的旁观。他创造了临床凝视，这是对现代医学如何从诊断开始，抛弃个人疾病经验，对象化身体，只通过科学事实来看待或检查的批评。相反，这些医学观察策略可以与迈克·布利克并列，后者将戏剧旁观主义定位为政治主体性的视觉机器。在这里，我将通过梳理区分医疗和艺术旁观的细微差别，批判性地增加戏剧和诊断研究。在医学和艺术的交叉点上增加更多的知识，我将探索如何将诊断解读为一种行为模式。通过依靠J.L.奥斯汀和朱迪思·巴特勒的作品，我将探索诊断及其声明性交付是如何进行的，并构成疾病身份的初始和基础结构。

My project will explore how different mediums of artistic practice can disrupt the medical framing of diagnosis. I will look at the impact of diagnosis beyond the doctor's office and examine artistic representations that focus on lived experiences of diagnosis. Located at the emerging arts and medicine interface, diagnosis and its relationship to performance has thus far been neglected. This project, in addressing an overlooked area, will bring much needed insight and prove to be of great significance to the fields of performance, medical education and health.In researching artistic representations that are concerned with diagnosis, I will examine the role of spectatorship and how it straddles both life, medicine and performance. Drawing on Michel Foucault, I will explore how diagnosis evokes a type of spectatorship that assesses the body. His coinage of the clinical gaze acts as a critique on how modern medicine, starting at diagnosis, discards personal experiences of illness, objectifies the body, and only sees or examines through scientific fact. Conversely, these medical observational strategies can be juxtaposed with Maaike Bleeker who situates theatrical spectatorship as a vision machine of political subjectivity. Here, I will critically add to theatrical and diagnostic research by teasing out the nuances separating medical and artistic spectatorship. Adding further knowledge to the intersection between medicine and art, I will explore how diagnosis can be read as a performative mode. Through leaning on the works of J.L. Austin and Judith Butler, I will explore how diagnosis and its declarative delivery performs and constitutes the initial and founding construction of illness identity.
