A presente dissertação, apresentada no âmbito do Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses e
Americanos, tem como objectivo abordar a representação do amor sacrificial nas colectâneas de contos de Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888) e A House of Pomegranates (1892), e articulá-la com a caracterização genológica dos contos, de forma a ponderar o modo como Oscar Wilde usa as convenções do conto de fadas na construção dos seus contos, tendo sempre em conta o duplo enquadramento do autor – o vitorianismo inglês e o contexto irlandês. Esta dissertação consiste em três capítulos, para além da introdução e da conclusão.
O primeiro capítulo incide sobre a contextualização de questões teóricas acerca da definição de fairy tale, enquanto género e forma de arte literária. O segundo capítulo apresenta uma contextualização dos contos de Wilde...
'Thank you, I feel so much more like a person now,' I told the ICU nurse after the morning bathing. The words came out spontaneously, and she was startled. What made me feel 'more like a person' at a time when my life was at risk, and I was tied to machines and entirely dependen on others' care? If becoming a patient entails the experience of vulnerability and ultimately the exposure to one's mortality, how does a patient remain a person in the midst of acute illness? Can a patien remain a person if she is regarded primarily as a mal-functioning body and/or mind? To what extent is the patient's self-perception shaped by others' perceptions of her? Can she contribute to the reshaping of those that prove harmful? By arguing for the need to listen to the patient's 'biological and biographical stories' in the interest of good clinical prac...
Pretende-se, a partir de literatura sobre a relação clínica, de narrativas de doenças e de testemunho pessoal, atender ao papel da narrativa enquanto busca partilhável de sentido, considerando o que erros de diagnóstico podem revelar sobre o papel da intersubjectividade na relação clínica e, por fim, abordar o conceito de profissionalismo dominante na cultura médica e o modo como ele se repercute na relação clínica.
Introduction to this volume
'Lord, what fools these mortals be' is Puck's pronouncement on Shakespeare's lovers in A Midsummer Night's Dream (III.2.115). Yet, the invisible Puck is himself the creature of a mortal's imagination and features in a play performed by mortals who are repeatedly faced with mirror images of the enterprise they are engaged in. These imaginative exchanges between humans and non-humans raise the question addressed in this paper: what to mortals play with when they create non-human creatures through whose estranged eyes they view humans' predicament? Following Puck's lead, this chapter focuses on three works that overtly play with fiction and provide insights into why and how we resort to fiction: Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wim Wenders's film Wings of Desire (1987), and Jennifer Johnston's novel Two Moons (1998).
"I hope that I am not deprived of old age... Perhaps I don't have to wait for old age for that invisible trespass... insensible of mortality and desperately mortal" - thus concludes Gillian Rose's memoir Love's Work, written as she was dying of cancer. Likewise, in Not the Last Goodbye, David Servan-Schreiber plans to talk to his children of his 'hopes for them' when he is no longer there. This chapter considers the configuration of hope in the face of life-threatening illness and the prospect of death.
‘Thank you, I feel so much more like a person now,’ I told the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse after the morning bath. The words came out spontaneously, and she was startled. What made me feel ‘more like a person’ at a time when my life was at risk, and I was tied to machines and entirely dependent on others’ care? If becoming a patient entails the experience of vulnerability and ultimately the exposure to one’s mortality, how does a patient remain a person in the midst of acute illness? Can a patient remain a person if she is regarded primarily as a malfunctioning body and/or mind? To what extent is the patient’s self-perception shaped by others’ perceptions of her? Can she contribute by reshaping those that prove harmful? By arguing for the need to listen to the patient’s ‘biological and biographical stories’ in the interest of good ...

Brief introduction to the screening of Sarah Polley’s award-winning film Away from Her (2007), an adaptation of Alice Munro’s short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain”, originally published in The New Yorker (27 Dec. 1999).
Described by Sarah Polley as “perhaps not the greatest love story I’d read, but the only love story I’d read,” Munro’s story focuses on Grant and Fiona, who married in their youth because he “never wanted to be away from her”, had no children, endured some betrayals, and now face Fiona’s rapid degeneration due to Alzheimer’s. Aware that this is an irretrievable process, Fiona chooses to move to a nursing home, while both story and film ask Grant and us to contemplate the multiple implications of “being away” from someone, and present us with the ultimate challenge of honouring life in the face of death, our own...
Contar (com) a Medicina reúne um conjunto de sessenta excertos, maioritariamente ficcionais, traduzidos do Alemão, Francês e Inglês, mas também do Castelhano e Sueco, incidindo sobre autores do século XX, e relacionados com a medicina. Os textos são precedidos por uma nota introdutória que oferece o respetivo enquadramento. A antologia organiza-se em três secções intituladas "Doentes", "Cuidadores" e "Família", de acordo com a perspetiva de quem vive, e de quem descreve ou de quem reflete sobre a doença e a saúde, a perceção do corpo, a palavra e o silêncio, a relação médico/doente, o saber científico e o contato humano, na interface da técnica com a ética. Os temas aqui abordados são tão variados quanta a diversidade de autores e textos reunidos.
