Cfp - Panel: Medical Humanities transforming in the 21st Century
SIEF2019 14th Congress: Santiago de Compostela, Spain
14-17 April 2019
Convenors:
Kristofer Hansson (Lund University)
Rachel Irwin (Lund University)
Maria Johansson (Åbo Akademi University)
Deadline: 15 October
The medical landscape is a constantly changing field, both in relation
to new knowledge and innovative technology as well as a changing
world. Some examples are new emerging diseases and changing welfare
societies. In ethnological and folkloric research there is a long
tradition of exploring and reflecting upon this kind of issues from a
broad variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives. These
include, but are note limited to: cultural beliefs around long-term
illness, explanations of health and healing, the ways in which
society's controlling mechanisms work across bodies, and how modern
biomedicine and digitalization provides new cultural perspectives. In
this session we are interested in papers that present ongoing research
based on the medical field in the broadest sense. These may be
empirically grounded papers, or more theoretical and methodological
reflections. Participants will discuss questions such as: In what
empirical fields are we working? What methodological or theoretical
track changes shall we do to explore additional fields and expand our
research? What role does ethnological and folkloristic research play
in the emerging field of medical humanities? Central is also: How can
we work with/within healthcare and how can we expand this work? How do
we participate in interdisciplinary research? What are good examples
of more integrative humanities? Through the session, we wish to make
visible and strengthen the ethnological and folkloristic research in
an international context dealing with health and medicine, and to
create a stronger network of researchers in the transforming research
field of medical humanities.
