This paper examines how literary studies can contribute to medical education from the viewpoints of narrative medicine, narratology, stylistics, and cognitive science. First, referring to Rita Charon’s approach to narrative medicine, Mikako Obika describes her narrative competence training targeted at medical students and then discusses the role of literature in medicine from the viewpoint of a doctor and teacher of internal medicine. Second, Yasushi Okuda discusses the contribution of literary studies to narrative medicine by focusing upon a reader’s/listener’s “retelling” of a narrative, which can be of three types: summary, transcription, and vicarious experience. Third, Soichiro Oku attempts to clarify the effectiveness of corpus-based approaches through his narrative, discourse, and stylistic analysis of various types of texts including Jean-Dominique Bauby’s The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly (2008) and Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day (1986). Finally, Masayuki Teranishi analyses Susannah Cahalan’s non-fictional illness narrative, Brain on Fire (2012), from a stylistic point of view and considers whether or not and to what extent the “language awareness” developed by reading literature can help us to understand an illness narrative and the narrator (=patient) accurately and deeply.
