    “Magic and Laughter”: Graphic Medicine, Recasting Alzheimer Narratives and Dana Walrath’s Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass
    (英語學系, 2018-03-??) Sathyaraj Venkatesan
    While the dominant biomedical discourse reduces individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s to Lewy bodies, certain cultural discourses (mediated through films, fiction, comics and other forms) treat them as zombies. Recasting such depictions of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) sufferers, Dana Walrath in her graphic memoir Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass narrates the tribulations of her Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother, Alice, conjuring up an alternative visual and textual world. Aliceheimer’s is about the experiences ofAlice, before and during AD. In equating the experiences of her mother with the dense fantasy world of Alice in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) Walrath not only offers a particularly complex response to AD but also frames it as “a time of healing and magic” (4). Against this backdrop, the present article, drawing on relevant theoretical debates on self/personhood, examines how Walrath’s Aliceheimer’s cultivates alternatives to the biomedical and cultural figurations of AD through the use of collageform, positive lexical choices, and a creative appropriation of Wonderland.

    路易斯·卡若爾的陰性書寫：《愛麗絲幻遊奇境》與《鏡中奇緣》中的女性意識
    (2022) 宋繼旻; SUNG, AMBER
    英國著名作家路易斯．卡若爾（Lewis Carroll）於1865年及1871年，分別撰寫出《愛麗絲幻遊奇境》（Alice in Wonderland）與《鏡中奇緣》（Through the Looking Glass）兩部系列作品。書中主角愛麗絲在夢中跌進兔子洞後，經歷猶如女性發育的身體變化。當愛麗絲的身體改變，她的意識也隨之蛻變，開始批判不合理的父權論述，擺脫「家庭天使」的身分。之後，當愛麗絲進入鏡中世界後，她的女性意識已然奠定，轉化為「新女性」。在此值得探討的是，上述這兩部作品中，女性經驗與女性意識的聯繫為何？又身為男性的作家何以能撰寫女性經驗？本論文首先運用歷史文獻分析維多利亞時期的女性角色，並探討愛麗絲身體與意識建構的關聯，了解她自我的形塑過程。接著進一步討論卡若爾的書寫系統。卡若爾於作品中擴展語言詮釋意涵，並鬆動時空固有的概念，這樣的手法與陰性書寫精神相呼應。因此，本論文運用後現代女性主義的理論，探討卡若爾的書寫體系，並分析鏡中世界的樣貌。透過分析主角愛麗絲的轉變過程，和探討卡若爾的文字，以理解女性經驗與女性意識的建構過程，及說明男性撰寫女性經驗的正當性。
