CFP for panel: 'The sensory experience of suffering and healing'
IUAES Inter-Congress 2014 with JASCA 50th Anniversary Conference in Chiba,
15-18 May 2014
Short Abstract
This panel explores the sensory experience of suffering and healing, including bodily
experience which transcends the five senses. It will embed these experiences with the
particular social complexities and dynamics of both biomedicines and traditional
medicines in Asia and Europe.
Long Abstract
Mediating the relationship between self and society, mind and body, idea and object, the
senses have been a particular focus in anthropology in the last two decades. The senses
are of special interest to medical anthropologists who address suffering and healing as
bodily and social experiences. However, much of this research has taken place in the
field of non-Western medicine and as a result there lacks sufficient study on the
subject in the field of biomedicine. Moreover, the experience of suffering and healing
cannot be fully explained in terms of the five senses. This panel thus explores the
sensory experience of suffering and healing, including bodily experience which
transcends the five senses. It embeds these experiences with the particular social
complexities and dynamics of both biomedicines and traditional medicines in Asia and
Europe.
