Rishi Goyal
MD, PhD
Rishi Goyal finished his PhD in English and his Emergency Medicine residency as Chief
Resident from Columbia University in 2010. Goyal is an Assistant Professor in the
Division of Emergency Medicine and is teaching a class in the Institute of Comparative
Literature entitled “Imagining Illness”. He is broadly interested in the intersection of
medicine and culture and is more specifically interested in the areas of
medical cognition and identity and representation after illness.
The risk society revisited: illness narratives
and personal responsibility
Like other forms of autobiographical writing, illness narratives have become more common in
modern times. The proliferation of illness narratives began in parallel with the modern growth of
effective biomedicine, the most representative stories being cancer in the 1970s and AIDS in the
1980s. While both cancer and AIDS narratives ushered in an era of the ‘politicized patient’, as
marginalized and disenfranchised individuals claimed a voice and seat at the table, both were
predicated on the eventual success of scientific rationality. Distinct from those earlier narratives,
the most representative illness narrative in contemporary times is the reflexive risk narrative.
Reflexive risk narratives are centered on the risks to the body and health from modernization and
underscore illness as a constitutive aspect of identity. Even as more illnesses can be traced to
corporate practices and the latent side effects of modernization, neoliberal ideology seems to place
the moral burden of disease squarely on the patient who is blamed or lauded for his or her active
risk management.
