| Sumario: | Situated at the intersection of phenomenology of medicine and feminst phenomenology, this volume provides insights into medical practices such as surgical operations, organ transplants, dentistry, midwifery, and psychiatry. The contributors make clear the relevance of feminist phenomenology to the fields of medicine and health by highlighting difference, vulnerability, and volatility as central dimensions of human experience rather than deviations. It also further vitalizes the field of phenomonology by bringing it into conversation with a range of different materials - including case studies, fiction, and other forms of narrative - and shedding new light on issues like bodily self-experience, normality and deviance, self-alienation, and objectification. The volume's focus on concrete experience develops and sharpens the methodological tools and conceptual framework of phenomenology and makes it an excellent resource for scholars, students, and medical practitioners alike. -- from back cover. |
