Voicing the Experience of Adolescents in Francophone Narratives of Family Alcoholism

在一个跨学科的方法融合文学分析，批判性医学人文，社会学（侧重于成瘾和青少年研究之间的新兴融合）和性别研究，该项目扩大了以病人为中心的医学和叙事的作用，以表达被忽视的青少年经历酗酒的经历，无论是个人和家庭单位的讨论。通过分析法国和加拿大法语国家青少年的经历，通过各种自传、小说、自传和bandes dessinées的文本和视觉表达，该项目揭示了酗酒生活经历的沉默声音。该项目分析了法国和加拿大法语国家青少年的经历，他们生活在酗酒被视为社会和医疗疾病的家庭中。它借鉴了法国文学中提供的观点，探讨了以下问题：1.文学如何表达生活在父母/照顾者/监护人酗酒或青少年自己酗酒的家庭中的青少年的禁忌经历？这些文本中使用的语言如何借鉴或挑战酗酒的文化、医学和/或公共卫生话语？2.鉴于不同的社会文化态度和反应酗酒，有什么不同和相似之处的代表性的家庭酗酒在法国和法国安大略省的叙述？3.根据酗酒与男性气质之间的社会学联系，性别如何影响受酗酒影响的青少年的生活经验的表达？4.在讲法语的叙述中，如果青少年是一个瘾君子或家庭成员，有酗酒的经历，那么护理是如何表现的？机构护理如何与家庭护理互动？研究背景-虽然自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。2018年世界卫生组织的一份报告指出，法国在34个经合组织国家中的酒精消费量仍然排名第六;事实上，法国因酒精导致的死亡人数是癌症死亡人数的2.5倍以上。在安大略，研究表明，从2003年到2016年，因饮酒而到急诊室就诊的人数比总就诊人数增加了4.4倍（Myran et al，2019）。最近的证据表明，COVID-19封锁只会加剧酒精滥用。在过去的一年里，新闻调查和媒体讨论试图打破法国酗酒的禁忌，这是众所周知的私事，包括妇女的特殊经历。然而，到目前为止，这些讨论中还没有提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。我的项目分析，第一次，一个丰富的多类属语料库（小说，autofiction和bandes dessinées）发表在二十世纪末和二十一世纪初的特权的角度与酗酒的青少年生活，无论是个人或作为一个家庭单位的一部分：热尔曼的毒药（1985年），莱瓦茨的小crapaude！（1999）、Vilain的La Dernière Année（1999）、Fournier的Il a jamais tué personne，mon papa（1999）、克雷默的Une famille（2018）、Valambois的Mal de mère（2015）和Louis的Mon père ce poivrot（2019）。对法国和加拿大法语国家的关注将增加英语视角，如Bunday的1990年和Lacy的2015年研究在年轻成人文学中对父母饮酒的预防，以及Jolly的2007年关于理解青少年声音的论文作为护理最佳实践的指南。

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.
