Kommentar
Perceptions, experiences, and practices related to illness, healing and health are culturally shaped and at the same time embedded in economic and socio-political relationships. This course introduces basic texts and concepts of medical anthropology and shows how the sub-discipline has developed in different national traditions of cultural and social anthropology. The course will discuss various facets of medical anthropology, such as interpretative medical anthropology, critical medical anthropology, and applied medical anthropology, as well as how they relate to each other. We will also explore key concepts such as body, disease, health, healing, biomedicine, medicalization, life, and death, and how they acquire specific meanings in different social and cultural contexts. Finally, we will look at the contemporary challenges facing medical anthropology, such as assisted death, transnational mobility of people, ideas, and medical technologies, and humanitarian intervention.
