SUMMARY:Explorations in the Medical Humanities 2019: A Workshop at C
 olumbia University
DESCRIPTION:As a set of disciplines\, the humanities face the challenge o
 f how to write about embodied experiences that resist easy v
 erbal categorization such as illness\, pain\, and healing. The
  recent emergence of interdisciplinary frameworks such as na
 rrative medicine has offered a set of methodological approac
 hes to address these challenges. Conceptualizing a field of 
 medical humanities provides a broad umbrella under which to 
 study the influence of medico-scientific ideas and practices
  on society.  Whether by incorporating material culture suc
 h as medical artefacts\, performing symptomatic readings of p
 oems and novels\, or excavating the implicit medical assumpti
 ons underlying auditory cultures\, the approaches that emerge
  from a historiographical or interpretive framework are diff
 erent from those coming from the physician’s black bag. T
 his two-day workshop will continue the work of the Explorati
 ons in the Medical Humanities lecture series from 2017-2018\,
  with a new emphasis on creating an interdisciplinary conver
 sation between scholars from a variety of institutions.
