Chapter 2 probes the book's key terms in light of a real-world study of an \"empathy device\" that aims to teach the public what it feels like to be disabled. Chapter 3 analyses how theatre intervenes in the practice of medicine via standardized patient actors who engage in role play to enhance medical students' empathy for patients coping with shame. Chapter 4 moves from the clinic to the street to examine how The Raging Grannies' public performances contest ageist constructions of older women's bodies and desires. Chapter 5 shifts further from the bedside to the book by exploring Alison Bechdel's graphic novel \u003ci\u003eFun Home\u003c\/i\u003e, which challenges the shame projected onto homosexuals. Bringing the study full circle, the final chapter offers close readings of the stories of Alice Munro; like empathy devices, her texts restage scenes of shame to undo its malevolent spell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars in theatre and performance studies, health humanities, gender studies, queer studies, literary studies, disability studies, and affect studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marlene Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032205547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032205540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Marlene Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431456395519,"sku":"9781032205540","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da40cc1e-454a-4c2d-8f83-05960734b878.jpg?v=1735141393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-social-aesthetic-and-medical-marlene-goldman-9781032205540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
