{"product_id":"culture-and-medicine-rishi-goyal-9781350248656","title":"Culture and Medicine: Critical Readings in the Health and Medical Humanities","description":"Charting shared advances across the emerging fields of medical humanities and health humanities, this book engages with the question of how biomedical knowledge is constructed, negotiated, and circulated as a cultural practice. \u003cbr\u003eThe volume is composed of a series of pathbreaking inter-disciplinary essays that bring sociocultural habits of mind and modes of thought to the study of medicine, health and patients. These juxtapositions create new forms of knowledge, while emphasizing the vulnerability of human bodies, anti-essentialist approaches to biology, a sensitivity to language and rhetoric, and an attention to social justice.\u003cbr\u003eThese essays dissect the ways that cultural practices define the limits of health and the body: from the body's place and trajectory in the world to how bodies relate to one another, from questions about ageing and sex to what counts as health and illness. \u003cbr\u003eConsidering how these and other concepts are shaped by a negotiation between medico-scientific knowledge and ways of knowing derived from other domains, this book provides important new insights into how biomedical frameworks become settled forms for broader cultural understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rishi Goyal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350248657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350248656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Rishi Goyal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024876654847,"sku":"9781350248656","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad63c738-4b48-4994-95ba-3b7aa16d29b4.jpg?v=1723129430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-and-medicine-rishi-goyal-9781350248656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
