Narrating Oncogenesis: The Problem of Telling when Cancer Begins.
- Authors
Belling, Catherine
- Abstract
The article focuses on narrating oncogenesis, stressing the problem of telling when cancer begins. It features an essay entitled "Brain Tumor" written by a medical student named John McCool in December 1982. It cites Shlomith Rimmon-Kennan's term of illness narratives and discusses Niels Buch Leander's comparison of two formal approaches to the problem of selecting and narrating beginnings. It looks at biology's hidden agenda, early detection of the illness and oncogenesis of the imagination.
