Anyone interested in illness narratives might find Lisa Diedrich’s ‘Treatments: Language, Politics, and the Culture of Illness’ illuminating. It examines illness narratives, the subjugated knowledge of patient’s counternarratives and something I find particularly interesting which is the ‘inability’ of language to truly capture ‘scenes of loss’. (Do I need to say I have no affiliation with Lisa, I just liked the book! 🙂) Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll add Lorde’s book to my (insurmountable) list! Great channel, keep up the good work!
#1!!!!!!! Ok aside from being first I’m glad you made this video. I thought it was going to be meditation’s, or something from stockdale, but it is this intriguing work that I have never heard of. It already in my cart and I can’t wait to read it. Reflections on death are typically valuable. The last lecture changed the way I view the world, Tuesdays with morrie provided some interesting insights as well. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for raising awareness about Lorde’s work. I will add this to my TBR list!
👍
