A posthumanist understanding of the body does not view "illness" and "health" as properties of the individual body, but as emergent features of the relationships between bodies. As such, a relational view of health opens up avenues for the betterment of both human bodies and their social and physical environments. Drawing on posthumanism and the ethics of vulnerability, this article demonstrates how Brian Teare's The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven (2015) provides a different way of thinking (and doing) illness, death, and vulnerability. With his acceptance and promotion of the body's dynamic materiality and chronic vulnerability, Teare advances a posthuman ethics based on our shared embodied condition.
后人文主义对身体的理解不是将 "疾病 "和 "健康 "视为个体身体的属性，而是身体之间关系的新特征。因此，健康的关系观为改善人类身体及其社会和物理环境开辟了道路。本文借鉴后人道主义和脆弱性伦理学，论证了布莱恩-蒂尔的《空形上天堂》（The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven，2015 年）如何为疾病、死亡和脆弱性提供了一种不同的思考（和实践）方式。蒂尔接受并提倡身体的动态物质性和长期脆弱性，在我们共同的身体条件基础上推进了一种后人类伦理学。

On one level, I take some measure of reassurance when I see a mask of any kind littering the street because it means someone took seriously the public health benefits of wearing it.

The importance of authorial intention has been debated extensively in literary studies. In cognitive literary studies, however, the effects books provoke in readers are of greater relevance. With an unreliable intradiegetic narrator, ambivalent about her denial of hunger, Wintergirls (2009), a US YA anorexia novel, embodies the spiraling network of lies that feeds this condition. This essay takes Wintergirls as a starting point to discuss the therapeutic or harmful effects of literature, over and above the intentions of the writer. Adopting a cognitive literary perspective, this essay proposes the concept of an "unreliable reader," and uses that concept to demonstrate that the novel has a self-triggering potential to reinforce anorexia. This is an unusual approach, inasmuch as it runs counter to previous positive literary criticism of Wintergirls, but it is a perspective in urgent need of reconsideration for the sake of disordered readers.
