Drawing on both feature and documentary films from mainland China, the chapters each engage with the field of medicine through the visual arts. They cover themes such as the history of doctors and their concepts of disease and therapies, understanding the patient experience of illness and death, and establishing empathy and compassion in medical practice, as well as the HIV\/AIDs epidemic during the 1980s and 90s and changing attitudes towards disability. Inherently interdisciplinary in nature, the contributors therefore provide different perspectives from the fields of history, psychiatry, film studies, anthropology, linguistics, public health and occupational therapy, as they relate to China and people who identify as Chinese. Their combined approaches are united by a passion for improving the cross-cultural understanding of the body and ultimately healthcare itself.    A key resource for educators in the Medical Humanities, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Chinese Studies and Film Studies as well as global health, medical anthropology and medical history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51224896471313,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51224898994449,"sku":"NIN9781032085241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52432016376081,"sku":"NLS9781032085241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/103208524X.jpg?v=1751174077"},{"product_id":"perfect-bodies-book-vivienne-lo-9780861591886","title":"Perfect Bodies","description":"By presenting rigorous situated histories of changing training  regimen in different cultures, this collection of papers  collectively challenge orthodox notions of the perfect body and  its pursuit. The introductory essay by the editor compares and  contrasts the different methods and ideals.  Ancient regimen and techniques may seem remote, yet many attempt to resolve issues that are common to us all. Some are directed at  the immortality or longevity of the physical body, and include performance-enhancing nutrition and drug taking; others train the  spirit and souls for the afterlife. Many emphasise the  interconnectedness of the human body with its environment. The  papers set their topic in its broad socio-political and cultural  context, facilitating a dialogue with other contributors who  considered many similar questions for the 20th and 21st centuries.  Histories of sports, body cultivation and sports medicines in non-European cultures are only just now beginning to emerge. With  the Olympics approaching in London, it is timely to explore the  diverse traditions of perfecting body and soul, as a fascinating  historical project in itself, but also to provide a rich context  for envisioning a more widely beneficial approach to sports,  medicine and immortality for all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51505390125329,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51505391206673,"sku":"GOR014306987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0861591887.jpg?v=1751139514"},{"product_id":"routledge-handbook-of-chinese-medicine-book-vivienne-lo-9781032149776","title":"Routledge Handbook of Chinese Medicine","description":"The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Medicine is an extensive, interdisciplinary guide to the nature of traditional medicine and healing in the Chinese cultural region, and its plural epistemologies. Established experts and the next generation of scholars interpret the ways in which Chinese medicine has been understood and portrayed from the beginning of the empire (third century BCE) to the globalisation of Chinese products and practices in the present day, taking in subjects from ancient medical writings to therapeutic movement, to talismans for healing and traditional medicines that have inspired global solutions to contemporary epidemics. The volume is divided into seven parts:    Longue Durée and Formation of Institutions and Traditions  Sickness and Healing Food and Sex Spiritual and Orthodox Religious Practices The World of Sinographic Medicine Wider Diasporas Negotiating Modernity  This handbook therefore introduces the broad range of ideas and techniques that comprise pre-modern medicine in China, and the historiographical and ethnographic approaches that have illuminated them. It will prove a useful resource to students and scholars of Chinese studies, and the history of medicine and anthropology. It will also be of interest to practitioners, patients and specialists wishing to refresh their knowledge with the latest developments in the field.
