SoSe 22: Introduction to Medical Anthropology
Karoline Buchner
Kommentar
This course will give students an overview of some fundamental approaches, theories, and topics in medical anthropology. Health, healing, illness, death, and the knowledge production about these human constants are shaped by cultural, social, political, and economic factors. Moreover, in an interconnected world faced with complex postcolonial patterns of injustice and inequalities, displacement, and climate change, health phenomena are simultaneously as old as time and presently emerging from translocal encounters and entanglements. Against this messy backdrop, we will cover readings on the body, disease, biomedicine, global health and epidemics, so-called alternative and complementary medicines, and other topics from the perspectives of interpretative medical anthropology, critical medical anthropology, applied medical anthropology, and the intersection of medical anthropology and science and technology studies.
