[由於課程會隨選修人數而微調，正式的授課大綱以第一次上課老師所發為標準]

一、課程簡介

(大綱已經調整過，與前一版本不同)
本課程將分成三部分：1.醫療社會學中的性別：性別研究中的醫療、疾病與健康問題。女性主義社會學與醫療社會學中，「性別、權力與醫學知識」是討論主題，我們將從女性身體疾病中看到醫病關係、醫學知識的男性觀點、與社會醫療過程中的各種問題。第二，女性個人作為健康照顧者，其身份包括護士、母親、或妻子等家庭照顧者，這些工作在性別權力關係上有哪些特殊之處？在集體層次上，屬於女性的照護工作又經常在由男性專業支配的鬥爭場域中。例如，日據時代前助產士專業就逐漸被現代婦產醫學所取代，其中有各種複雜科技社會的因素介入。本課程前幾週將帶領同學了解女性作為助產士的歷史與現代性過程變化，也介紹與主流產科醫學比較不一樣的另類觀點，如溫柔生產等論述。本課程將探討主題如下：避孕藥與荷爾蒙科學發展的關係、更年期HRT藥物、助產士與產科醫學興起（懷孕與生殖醫學）、超音波影像與胚胎的再現意義等。

3. 從科學、技術與社會（STS）跨學科觀點（結合視覺文化理論）來探討視覺文化與醫療。一般說來，視覺文化（visual culture）所要討論的範疇是，視覺影像與技術（攝影、電影、電視、電腦等各類影像）如何同時是社會介入的場域，支配了我們對於客觀世界的看法。視覺文化研究強調，各項的媒體或視覺科技並非「透明」，而是意識形態與論述的場域。STS 研究則指出，科學知識是社會歷史政治的一部分，科技物的使用也會支配人的認知與慣習。科學影像可以成為支配者的工具，也可以成為弱勢者發聲的工具。本課能讓同學讀醫學造影的科普書籍---「露骨」，了解X光、超音波等科技，如何於偵測女性身體的疾病上的歷史與作用。同時，我們也會參訪科博館，看看裡面的科普知識如何傳播，有哪些科技與社會建構介入其論述中。

[Since the course will be fine-tuned according to the number of electives, the official teaching syllabus is based on the one issued by the first-time teacher]

1. Course Introduction

(The outline has been adjusted and is different from the previous version)
This course will be divided into three parts: 1. Gender in Medical Sociology: Medical, Illness and Health Issues in Gender Studies. In feminist sociology and medical sociology, "gender, power and medical knowledge" is the topic of discussion. We will see the doctor-patient relationship, the male perspective of medical knowledge, and various issues in the social medical process from female physical diseases. Second, as health caregivers, women’s identities include family caregivers such as nurses, mothers, or wives. What are the special features of these jobs in terms of gender power relations? At the collective level, women's care work often takes place within a field of struggle dominated by male professionalism. For example, before the Japanese occupation, the midwifery profession was gradually replaced by modern obstetrics and gynecology, in which various complex technological and social factors intervened. In the first few weeks of this course, students will be guided to understand the history of women as midwives and the changes in modernity. They will also introduce alternative views that are different from mainstream obstetric medicine, such as gentle birth and other discussions. This course will explore the following topics: the relationship between contraceptive pills and the development of hormonal science, HRT drugs for menopause, the rise of midwives and obstetric medicine (pregnancy and reproductive medicine), the significance of ultrasound images and the reproduction of embryos, etc.

3. Explore visual culture and healthcare from an interdisciplinary perspective of Science, Technology and Society (STS) (incorporating visual culture theory). Generally speaking, the scope of visual culture is how visual images and technologies (photography, film, television, computers and other types of images) are simultaneously fields of social intervention and dominate our view of the objective world. Visual culture research emphasizes that various media or visual technologies are not "transparent", but are fields of ideology and discourse. STS research points out that scientific knowledge is part of social history and politics, and the use of technological objects will also dominate people's cognition and habits. Scientific imaging can be a tool for the dominant, and it can also be a tool for the weak to speak out. This class allows students to read the popular science book on medical imaging - "Exposed", and understand the history and role of X-ray, ultrasound and other technologies in detecting diseases in the female body. At the same time, we will also visit the Science Museum to see how the popular science knowledge is disseminated and what technologies and social constructions are involved in its discussion.
