Abstract:
ABSTRACT:Fictional accounts of epilepsy are of interest because they may convey information on images and public views of epilepsy which are not contained in medical texts. Thus, medical and nonmedical traditions together form the cultural history of epilepsy. Of the numerous possible aspects of epilepsy in fiction, this paper looks especially at the writers'background of knowledge about epilepsy; epilepsy as a handicap and a reason for social rejection, with special reference to epilepsy under the Nazi rule; threats to patients'lives; the motive of the child with epilepsy as a divine child; a

Abstract:
Aim. The article attempts to look at question of academic identities through the prism the academic novel. This literary genre emerged in English and American literature in early 1950s and centers on the image of the professor. In Slavic literatures the genre of the academic novel appears roughly in early 1990s, which is directly connected with the change of the political order following the fall of the Berlin Wall and disbanding of the Soviet Union. Contemporary Ukrainian literature with its post-Soviet heritage presents a unique source for the study of academic discourse.

Abstract:
In 2015, the world saw 244 million international migrants. Migration has been shown to be both a protective and a risk factor for mental health, depending on circumstances. Furthermore, culture has an impact on perceptions and constructions of mental illness and identity, both of which can be challenged through migration. Using a qualitative research approach, we analysed five internationally acclaimed and influential novels and one theatre play that focus on aspects of identity, migration, and threatened mental health. As a mirror of society, fiction can help to understand perceptions of iden

Desdobramento dos extensos estudos da autora sobre a ficção científica no cinema como narrativa representativa do mundo contemporâneo, o artigo enfoca especificamente as questões relacionadas ao corpo humano e à tecnologia que emergem dos filmes desse gênero nascido sob o signo da cultura visual médica. As narrativas fílmicas contemporâneas de ficção científica abrem espaço para reflexões sobre as sociedades atuais em mutação e para questionarmos até que ponto, diante da profunda interação homem-máquina, permanecemos ainda humanos.

This paper examines the enactment of cultural medical practices in the narratives of African writers. It aims at promoting the application of folk medicines in addressing the health problems of patients as enacted in artistic productions of fiction writers. It will celebrate, propagate and preserve these approaches to preventive and curative medical practices, which are indigenous to the African people. The study will be beneficial to health caregivers, researchers, health educators, health agencies and policy formulators, who are determined to promote the cultural healthcare system in society

Abstract:
Another corporality has always been perceived differently in various societies in each epoch. Corporality — body and techniques of the body — of a disabled person was usually considered in archaic cultures in a negative perspective. Such a notion existed in European societies in Middle Ages. Since the Renaissance persons with impairments have appeared in art and fiction. Russian mass consciousness has retained a lot of negative stereotypes and labels concerning disabled people and their bodies. These notions and prejudices are often represented in mass fiction — detective stories, love stories

Historical fiction can be understood as a hybrid space: it represents the past and simultaneously allows a consideration of the culture it is written in. Under the assumption that novels help address cultural shifts and attitudes, this paper aims to investigate how, why, and with what implications medical discourses surrounding women are depicted in fiction. This paper explores the manifold conceptualizations of hysteria in An Inconvenient Wife written by Megan Chance in 1998, arguing that the novel presents a complex view of discourses of medicalization.

AbstractIn this introduction, Taylor-Pirie appraises the intersections of the ‘imaginative architecture of science and empire’ by examining how, as a fledging medical discipline at the fin de siècle, parasitology entered into significant encounters and exchanges with the literary and historical imagination. Introducing readers to Nobel Prize–winning parasitologist Ronald Ross (1857–1932), Taylor-Pirie lays the foundations for the rest of the book by examining how forms such as poetry and biography, genres such as imperial romance and detective fiction, and modes such as adventure and the Gothi

The conclusion proposes the need for a more contextualised and a more politicised medical humanities. It also urges a repositioning of the arts and humanities so that they play a more critical, and potentially constitutive, role in relation to the medical. While the volume has been critical of mainstream medical humanities, its continued focus on empathy produces a thread of continuity across the first and second waves of activity in the field. In this sense, the conclusion indicates that, by fostering attunement to a more critically sensitive model of empathy, the medical humanities can move

Bouju’s essay posits contemporary European novels about loss and trauma as textual iterations of the ‘mirror-box’— a contraption designed by neuroscience researchers in order to permit amputees to visualize their missing limb through specular inversion, thus attenuating pain by imaginary muscular exercise of the phantom limb.

The Introduction begins by identifying the three central issues in the mainstream medical humanities that it sets out to address: the restriction of medicine to the individualised clinical encounter, its under-theorised understanding of empathy, and its positioning of literature as a transparent vehicle for conveying another’s experience. The section ‘Rethinking “medicine”’ opens up new perspectives on the clinical encounter as well as urging a definition of medicine that extends beyond its boundaries and concerns.

In this essay, Fernando Namora´s medical activity is seen as a source of literary material. From that, the writer absorbs the experiences of both the sick people and the doctor himself, who tends, cathartically, to confession and autoscopy. Discussing the vast work of the novelist, the text presents the ways in which the author of Retalhos da Vida de um Médico expresses life, always from the confrontation with the world, as well as the constant dialogues of the intellectual with his time, which would, in large part, catalyze the evolution of contemporary Portuguese fiction.
