Beschreibung
This volume brings together research in the GeoHumanities from various intellectual perspectives to illustrate the benefits of humanities-inspired approaches in understanding and confronting historically entrenched and recently emergent health-related challenges. In three main sections, this volume seeks to foreground the richness of work entangling medicine and health with the concerns of geography and of the Humanities. This volume will be of interest to academics and researchers in the Geographies of health and medicine, social sciences in GeoHumanities, and health humanities, and students in programs focusing on the humanities and health.
In the book's first section, Bodies, the authors explore the material, sensory and more than physical capacities of bodies in accounting for experiences of death, air raids, immigration, dance therapy, asthma and blindness. Section two, Voice, addresses the nature of evidence, HIV/AIDS policy, patient voices in animal research, homelessness, and constructions of truth. The final section, Practice, focuses on creative writing, as well as the pedagogic tools of teaching with the asylum, the creative practice of nuclear emergency planning zones, arts-based care for the elderly, and cartographic practices within health research.
“This engaging collection offers insightful encounters with the geographical imagination that bring a depth of human experience to medical and health concerns. It adds critical weight to the ‘geohumanities turn’ by not only providing an important foundational collection but also by suggesting future opportunities at the permeable edges of the humanities, health and place.”
-Robin Kearns, University of Auckland
"Live issues, matters of life and death, lively stories and deathly silences: these are the difficult grounds tracked and troubled by this wonderful new collection, a pioneering effort to explorethe meeting of GeoHumanities with medical/health humanities. Straddling disciplines and reaching beyond the academy, contributions to this collection - poetic, evocative, experiential, experimental, scholarly and critical - tellingly illuminate multiple new possibilities for GeoHumanistic medical-health inquiry and care-full, practical interventions."
-Christopher Philo, University of Glasgow
