This is the first volume to introduce comprehensively the ways in which interdisciplinary thinking across the humanities and social sciences might contribute to, critique and develop medical understanding of the human individually and collectively. The thirty-six newly commissioned chapters range widely within and across disciplinary fields, always alert to the intersections between medicine, as broadly defined, and critical thinking. Each chapter offers suggestions for further reading on the issues raised, and each section concludes with an Afterword, written by a leading critic, outlining future possibilities for cutting-edge work in this area. Topics covered in this volume include: the affective body, biomedicine, blindness, breath, disability, early modern medical practice, fatness, the genome, language, madness, narrative, race, systems biology, performance, the postcolonial, public health, touch, twins, voice and wonder. Together the chapters generate a body of new knowledge and make a decisive intervention into how health, medicine and clinical care might address questions of individual, subjective and embodied experience.Edinburgh companions to literature and the humanities.Medicine and the humanitiesMedicinePhilosophyMedical ethicsaffectmedical humanitiesexperimentationmindbodyevidenceimaginationCase reportClinical psychologyDiseaseHealth careMedicineNarrativeNarratologyPatientsLikeMeSociologyMedicine and the humanities.MedicinePhilosophy.Medical ethics.610AK 24800rvkWhitehead Anneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut939635Whitehead Anne1971-Woods AngelaAtkinson Sarah J.Macnaughton JaneRichards JenniferMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910765750103321The Edinburgh Companion to the Critical Medical Humanities3652686UNINA
