摘要

健康之於人的重要性無庸置疑，但小從沒有生理上的病徵，大至對於身心靈和諧的渴望，如何才算擁有健康的身體卻難有明確的定義。長久以來，健康與病痛如同直線的兩端，透過身體不斷的拉扯，唯有當人們遭逢巨大的病痛，方才意識到身體的獨特與不可取代。研究者在這段無法徹底根除病痛，只能嘗試與其共處的過程中，從舒茲所說的「生活世界（Lebenswelt）」作為一個開端，透過現象社會學的理論，去觀看自身在壓力影響下所導致的病痛經驗，並進一步思索身體在醫療過程裡，所面臨到消失、被分割與機械化的現象。

It is widely believed that the importance of being healthy is beyond words, but it is very difficult to define health. Health has a wide range of definition, from physically ill-free to the consonance of our body and mind. Health and illness are pulling two ends of the string of our bodies and only when a person is suffering serious illness can he/she realize the uniqueness and irreplaceable of his/her own body. This paper is a narrative of my own experience in not being able to completely cure the illness but trying to co-exist with the illness. We applied a theory of phenomenological sociology, starting from the ”Lebenswelt” proposed by Schutz to observe such illness experience which is caused by stress. Furthermore, we also investigated the phenomena that the body disappears, being partitioned, and mechanized during medical treatments.
