摘要 SPA被視為台灣新興的保健文化,透過大量的媒體呈現與廣告行銷,彷彿蔚為一種流行。但是,令人好奇的是,有別於過往對症下藥的模式,SPA此種「被視為」醫療化的過程,卻未言明「疾病」為何。過往,疾病的定義往往依賴醫師或專家的界定,但是SPA「療程」所對應的「疾病」,由誰定義?而這樣的「疾病」,又是怎樣一個建構與想像?本研究從中國時報與聯合報的SPA新聞文本中,試圖找尋其所呈現的疾病圖像為何、並探究如何報導。藉由論述分析,了解新聞報導如何合理化SPA為一種「醫療行為」,同時報導中又傳遞何種權力意涵。研究透過批判醫療社會學的觀點,解構SPA「醫療化」的概念,發現SPA的確具備「醫療化」的條件,如利用精密儀器和專業人員的詮釋等。研究發現屬於另類醫學觀點的醫療專家(中醫師、過去民俗醫學體系的物理治療師等),利用抽象的另類醫療語言,活躍於SPA的論述場域。而原本西方醫學的論述,卻失去了舞台。而SPA所指涉的社會流行病學人口,卻更是「有錢消費」的代表,此種現象,正如同Dubos所強調「健康的海市蜃樓」(The Mirage of Health),已成為製造疾病的產業(sick-making enterprises),以信仰「醫療」作為解決的手段,而心靈疾病的建構,不過是「SPA」龐大醫療產業製造病人的藉口。
The ubiquitous media coverage of spa has made it a new panacea for local people in Taiwan to cure their "illness". Supposedly, it is a doctor or clinician who has the professional knowledge to identify the species of illness and prescribe specific treatment for it; however, in the case of spa "therapy", people directly go to spa for curing an imaginary disease, invented by local media coverage and ad campaigns. What makes people regard spa as a legitimate medical therapy? By following news reports in Taiwan, I will focus on what kind of "illness" was brought in by the local media and how news stories presented Spa as a therapeutic medical procedure. The research is conducted with the discourse analysis to examine news coverage from Taiwan`s two dominant news agencies, the China Times and the United Daily, in search of the root cause of an imaginary disease and the context of it.
