>> > and illness experiences
>> > * the nature and role of 'metaphors' in expressing the experiences
>> > of health, illness and disease - for example, illness as 'another
>> > country'; the role of narrative and narrative interpretation in making
>> > sense of the 'journey' from health through illness, diagnosis, and
>> > treatment; the importance of story telling; dealing with chronic and
>> > terminal illness; the 'myths' surrounding health, illness and disease
>> > * the concept of the 'well' person; the attitudes of the 'well' to
>> > the 'ill'; perceptions of 'impairment' and disability; the challenges
>> > posed when confronted by illness and disease; the notion of being
>> > 'cured'; chronic illness; terminal illness; attitudes to death
>> > * health, illness, disease human rights and social justice; health
>> > and citizenship
>> > * health, illness and disease in a globalized world; global threats
>> > to human health
>> > * health and place.
>> > * health and identity; the effects on our sense of identity; our
>> > relationship with our own body; how others perceive us - family,
>> > friends, strangers, doctors, nurses, care givers
>> > * the body in pain; biological and medical views of illness; the
>> > ambiguous relationship with 'alternative' medicine and therapies; the
>> > doctor-patient relationship; the 'clinical gaze'; the body as machine
>> > and the role of technology; the rise of genetics; manipulation of the
>> > body - transplantation, surgery; the body as resource; 'artificial'
>> > bodies; the impact of body 'models' on the person
>> > * the relationship between creative work and illness and disease:
>> > the work of artists, musicians, poets, writers. Illness and the
>> literary
>> > imagination - studies of writers and literature which take health,
>> > disability, illness and disease as a central theme
