Wondering in Humanities: The Belligerence of the Belletristic
Descrição
To address the issue of publication formats for the humanities, an area increasingly under the management of organizations for the development of science, I borrow both authority and wisdom from a sensitive scholar who has penetrated the walls of a major science, Medicine, with the Trojan horse of Fiction. Rita Charon’s programme of “Narrative Medicine” in Columbia University invites healthcare professionals to spare some of their time, previously taken up wholly by clinical evidence, for the narratives patients tell with mouths, bodies, ink drawings or scribbles, using stories of pain to help healing, constructing shared tales of beauty to inspire life from beyond and into the suffering body. Her own writing style demonstrates the will to intervene in containers of representation, and can be transposed to the realm of academic norms for publishing, in support of a belletristic writing that generates alternative forms of research not only in literary studies but in the humanities in general.
