Abstract:
Focusing on the configuration of the relationship between fate and freedom of action, this article analyses recent self-help literature and online communities, particularly the genre that centres on the concept of resilience. The selected works and websites all address readers who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. The article focuses on how the relationship between fate and freedom is represented in three literary figures: the reader, who is promised recovery; the narrator, who promises to save the reader from the mental illnesses; and the plot that the reader forms by his or her personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. Furthermore, fate and freedom will be analysed in a series of allegories and metaphors. We argue that each literary figure reflects a radical understanding of individual autonomy, that is, freedom of action. However, we also argue that each literary figure has a shadowy disadvantage, which activates a tragic reversal of fate. The article analyses how this self-help genre reflects a notion of tragedy in relation to mental suffering.
摘要:
着眼于命运与行动自由关系的配置,本文分析了最近的自助文学和在线社区,特别是以韧性概念为中心的流派。入选的作品和网站都针对患有抑郁症的读者,焦虑和压力。文章着重论述了命运与自由的关系是如何在三个文学人物中表现出来的:读者,承诺恢复的人;叙述者,承诺将读者从精神疾病中拯救出来;以及读者通过其个人思想形成的情节,感受和体验。此外,命运和自由将被分析在一系列的寓言和隐喻。我们认为,每个文学人物都反映了对个人自主性的根本理解,也就是说,行动自由。然而,我们还认为每个文学人物都有一个阴暗的劣势,这激发了命运的悲剧性逆转。本文分析了这种自助类型如何反映与精神痛苦有关的悲剧概念。
