DEADLINE IN JUST OVER TWO WEEKS- 5th January 2014
*ASA14 Decennial: Anthropology and Enlightenment *19-22 June 2014
The Surgeons' Hall, Nicolson Street, Edinburgh
*REMINDER: CFP* *Repositioning health, illness and the body: the challenge
of new theoretical approaches to medical anthropology*
Convenors: Simon Cohn (University of Cambridge) & Rebecca Lynch (University
of Cambridge)
*Summary*
This panel addresses to what extent a number of Enlightenment distinctions
have inescapably shaped medical anthropology, and whether they have
hindered, as well as enabled, its progress. It asks whether approaches from
STS and the 'ontological turn' are useful to overcome the entrenched
dichotomies by helping us circumvent such things as the illness/disease
distinction as well as placing the materiality of the body at the centre of
analysis.

- a paper title
- authors/co-authors
- a short abstract of fewer than 300 characters
