Abstract:Narrative medicine is an interpretative practice. Endorsing close reading as its signature method, narrative medicine encourages the reader or listener to pay close attention to narrative gaps, absences, and silences and to question what has been left out as a salient but secret element of the patient's story. In this paper I interrogate these principles and practices by suggesting that narrative medicine's concern with what the patient doesn't say poses ethical and epistemological risks and responsibilities. In foregrounding absence, practitioners of close reading encourage an essential mistrust that risks overreading silences as unspoken stories. Drawing on criticism of overinterpretation in literary theory, including the works of Jameson, Sontag, and Eco, and a recent work of French fiction, Mélissa Da Costa's Tout le bleu du ciel (2020; All the blue of the sky), I argue that narrative absence may not always present an invitation to interpret but rather demand humility in the face of insurmountable difference and ambiguity. Ultimately, I suggest an interpretative humility that exercises caution and vigilance in the interpretative act, not only because the interpretation may be wrong or incomplete but because it may be entirely unnecessary.
摘要:叙事医学是一种解释性实践。叙事医学以细读为其标志性方法，鼓励读者或听者密切关注叙事的空白、缺失和沉默，并质疑病人故事中被遗漏的重要但秘密的元素。在本文中，我对这些原则和实践提出质疑，认为叙事医学对病人没有说出来的事情的关注构成了伦理和认识论上的风险和责任。在前景缺失的情况下，精读的实践者鼓励了一种基本的不信任，这种不信任有可能把沉默过度解读为未说出来的故事。借鉴了文学理论中对过度诠释的批评，包括詹姆逊、桑塔格和艾柯的作品，以及最近的一部法国小说，姆姆·丽莎·达·科斯塔的《蓝色的世界》(Tout le bleu du ciel, 2020;我认为，叙事的缺失可能并不总是一种解释的邀请，而是在面对无法克服的差异和歧义时要求谦卑。最后，我建议在解释行为中保持谨慎和警惕的解释性谦卑，不仅因为解释可能是错误的或不完整的，而且因为它可能完全没有必要。

Abstract:This article explores how patients who are not themselves unhealthy assign meaning to experiences of pregnancy loss through storytelling. Pregnancy loss is frequently attributed to sporadic chromosomal abnormalities rather than a medically identifiable abnormality in male or female reproductive functions. While many medical narratives center on a diseased or ill body, pregnancy loss narratives require making sense of a body that is neither of these things. Further, pregnancy loss is often medically understood to be a normal and expected reproductive experience, which deemphasizes the physical and emotional realities accompanying pregnancy loss. Studying narratives shared online to the social media platform Reddit, I track the role and presence of bodies within these narrative accounts. I offer visceral sense-making as a way of accounting for the material and discursive meaning-making that occurs within these stories of pregnancy loss, and the ways these processes are felt and described as deeply within the body.

Abstract:This paper takes up the venture of critical medical humanities to reread the workings and uses of narrative in narrative medicine pedagogy. Informed by philosophical and literary theory, the paper addresses the kind of work aesthetic experience performs in the pedagogical model of narrative medicine and considers the effects of distancing, relational, and close reading affordances attributed to literary narratives. The objective of this paper is to support the implementation of literary training in medical education by rethinking fiction's compatibility with narrative medicine's pedagogical goals, while considering how the "entangled" perspective that critical medical humanities advocates may, in fact, be already at play in narrative medicine by virtue of its turn to aesthetic experience—perhaps inadvertently, and certainly as a potential.
