| Summary: | The following article works to externalize anorexia nervosa and reconstruct our understanding of what psychiatry classifies as a mental illness towards a visiting presence. I recognize personal experience as a means to knowing. By analyzing particular artifacts created during the prevalence, distance, and coordination of anorexia nervosa (AN) – I deconstruct societal discourses. This perspective calls us to reconsider other cultural concepts such as control, freedom, etc. In the end, I propose that recovery requires the coordination of multiplicities in which AN is kept in conversation and balanced with other discourses – rather than severing AN’s voice completely. |
