【摘要】 美国当代剧作家玛格丽特·埃德森在普利策获奖剧作《灵智》中关注受癌症折磨的身体。主人公薇薇安是研究玄学诗歌的教授，在她看来，身体是从属于灵魂的次级物。然而，癌症的出现打破了这种二元对立。临床医学中人文社会科学与自然科学的冲突以及人文感性与工具理性的冲突都在薇薇安的病体中得到具化。摆脱肉体束缚与禁锢后，薇薇安最终超越了身体与灵魂的对立，回归到人性的温暖之中。埃德森通过患者的身体叙事，唤醒观众的同理心，实现了戏剧共情。更多还原

【Abstract】 American contemporary playwright Margaret Edson focuses on a body ravaged by cancer in her Pulitzer Prize play W; t. As a professor of literature oriented in the study of Metaphysical Poetry, the female protagonist Vivian regards the body as secondary to the soul. When a malignant tumor befalls and breaks the binary opposition between body and soul, the contradictions between social science and natural science, and between humanist sensibility and technological rationality in clinical medicine are materialized in Vivian’s sick body. When she is finally free from the confinement of the body, Vivian transcends the opposition between body and soul and returns to the warmth of humanity. Through the body narrative of a patient, Edson arouses empathy in the audience and realizes the empathic mechanism of theatre.更多还原
