The Health Humanities in German Studies

The first full-length study to bring together the practice of health and medical humanities in the field of German studies, this book features contributions from a range of key scholars in both fields and provides an overview of the latest work being done at the intersection of these two disciplines. As well as surveying the current critical terrain in unparalleled depth, it also looks forward and explores future directions that these fields may take. Organized around seven sections representing key areas of focus for both disciplines, this book provides important new insights into the intersections between Health and Medical Humanities and other fields of inquiry that have been gaining prominence over the past decade in academic and public discourse. It considers disability studies, critical race studies, gender/embodiment studies, trauma studies, as well as animal/environmental studies.>
