ABSTRACT:Fictional accounts of epilepsy are of interest because they may convey information on images and public views of epilepsy which are not contained in medical texts. Thus, medical and nonmedical traditions together form the cultural history of epilepsy. Of the numerous possible aspects of epilepsy in fiction, this paper looks especially at the writers'background of knowledge about epilepsy; epilepsy as a handicap and a reason for social rejection, with special reference to epilepsy under the Nazi rule; threats to patients'lives; the motive of the child with epilepsy as a divine child; and epilepsy as a fate, and a reason for distinction. Literary writers may help their readers understand that a person's suffering and fighting a condition like epilepsy very much deserves our attention and sympathy. Without being exclusive, the paper pays special attention to epilepsy in the writings of Canadian authors.

Aim. The article attempts to look at question of academic identities through the prism the academic novel. This literary genre emerged in English and American literature in early 1950s and centers on the image of the professor. In Slavic literatures the genre of the academic novel appears roughly in early 1990s, which is directly connected with the change of the political order following the fall of the Berlin Wall and disbanding of the Soviet Union. Contemporary Ukrainian literature with its post-Soviet heritage presents a unique source for the study of academic discourse.
Methods. An interdisciplinary approach which combines sociological investigation of academic identity (Henkel 2005) and hermeneutic literary analysis is used for this study. In this respect three novels from the contemporary Ukrainian literature – “University” (2007) and “Kaleidoscope” (2009) by Igor Yosypiv, and “Drosophila over a Volume of Kant” (2010) by Anatoliy Dnistrovyj – are chosen for analysis.
Results. Analysis of the novels shows that the literary representation of academics’ lives goes in line with the sociological findings, which, in defining a successful academic, put a strong accent on a discipline and academic institution. The interpretation of Yosypiv’s novels about a Ukrainian nephrologist at the American Medical School suggests that protagonist’s academic success is rooted in the field of applied science as well as an American institution of higher education, while Dnistrovyj’s novel sees a failure of a philosophy professor in the crisis of the Humanities as survived in post-Soviet Ukraine.
Conclusion. The given novels of Igor Yosypiv and Anatoliy Dnistrovyj show that in case of academic identity theme, the academic novels support sociological studies, i.e. the discipline (Applied Sciences and Humanities) as well as the university rank (American vs. post-Soviet) play a decisive role in scholars’ academic life. This in its turn proves that the academic novel, like in the time of its emergence in the 1950s, continues to be a literary chronicler of higher education.

In 2015, the world saw 244 million international migrants. Migration has been shown to be both a protective and a risk factor for mental health, depending on circumstances. Furthermore, culture has an impact on perceptions and constructions of mental illness and identity, both of which can be challenged through migration. Using a qualitative research approach, we analysed five internationally acclaimed and influential novels and one theatre play that focus on aspects of identity, migration, and threatened mental health. As a mirror of society, fiction can help to understand perceptions of identity and mental suffering on an intrapsychic and societal level, while at the same time society itself can be influenced by works of fiction. Fiction is also increasingly used for didactic purposes in medical education. We found that the works of fiction discussed embrace a multifaceted biopsychosocial concept of mental illness. Constructs such as unstable premigration identity, visible minority status (in the host country) and identity confusion in second-generation migrants are conceptualised as risk factors for mental illness. Factors portrayed as protective comprised a stable premigration identity, being safe with a family member or good friend, (romantic) love, therapeutic writing, art, and the concept of time having an element of simultaneousness. This literature challenges the idiocentric model of identity. Analysing fictional texts on migration experiences can be a promising hypothesis-generating approach for further research.

This paper examines the enactment of cultural medical practices in the narratives of African writers. It aims at promoting the application of folk medicines in addressing the health problems of patients as enacted in artistic productions of fiction writers. It will celebrate, propagate and preserve these approaches to preventive and curative medical practices, which are indigenous to the African people. The study will be beneficial to health caregivers, researchers, health educators, health agencies and policy formulators, who are determined to promote the cultural healthcare system in society. It will reawaken and strengthen medical practitioners, patients and researchers, who may which to apply folk medical practices as an alternative treatment for health problems in socio-cultural settings. This research is field survey and library-based, with the literary texts carefully and purposively selected according to their thematic thrust and qualitatively analysed. Oral interviews were conducted to gather first-hand information and data on traditional medical practices from respondents, who have profound knowledge of the topic. The respondents were elderly men and women with profound knowledge of traditional medical practices, and they were drawn from various Urhobo communities, such as Ughelli, Akperhe-Olomu, Orogun, Okparabe, Edjekota-Ogor, and Agbarha-Otor. Among those interviewed were traditional medical practitioners, diviners, and patients, who often apply trado-medicines as alternative and supplementary treatments. Apart from the primary materials, scholarly works that are relevant to the current study were also consulted by the researchers. Findings showed that African societies are endowed with diverse forms of folk medicine, including the use of herbs, hydrotherapy, heat therapy, use of ointments, hot food as an intervention, talk therapy, etc. The study concluded that African writers are conscious of the utilitarian functions of their indigenous healthcare interventions, and so they integrate some of the practices into their artistic works, not only for the documentation but also to activate the awareness of readers on the efficacy of the traditional medicines. The various folk medical practices can serve as alternative and complementary treatments for people who cannot afford western healthcare interventions in contemporary societies.

Another corporality has always been perceived differently in various societies in each epoch. Corporality — body and techniques of the body — of a disabled person was usually considered in archaic cultures in a negative perspective. Such a notion existed in European societies in Middle Ages. Since the Renaissance persons with impairments have appeared in art and fiction. Russian mass consciousness has retained a lot of negative stereotypes and labels concerning disabled people and their bodies. These notions and prejudices are often represented in mass fiction — detective stories, love stories, etc. On these pages, the author attempts to anthropologically analyze representations of disabled bodies and techniques of disabled bodies in contemporary Russian detective stories. The author has selected the texts of trendy women’s detective stories of the last two decades for this purpose. Analysis of these stories allows us to conclude that the medical model of disability, which is still widespread in the Russian society, results in profound stigmatization of disability and opposition “disabled person’ — ‘abled person,’ ‘worse people’ — ‘better people.’ Disabled people have worse corporality, worse futures, and worse abilities. Mass fiction is popular, and it not only represent prejudices and fears dealing with impaired persons but also promotes these stereotypes and thus impact on mass consciousness.

This article analyzes developments in the field of literary studies that concentrate on the aesthetics of metamodernism. Researchers emphasize the following inherent characteristics of contemporary fictional writings: a return to modernist-style experimentation, the reconstruction of grand narratives rejected by postmodernism, oscillation between different aesthetic palettes, openness, a return to history, depth, affect, and new sincerity. The identification of these dominants in contemporary literature provides grounds for asserting the «waning» and exhaustion of postmodernism and the development ofa new way of narrativization and understanding of reality, which encompasses both the realities of high technological progress and economic instability.Scholars argue that innovative spirit of the early twentieth century serves as the foundation for the metamodernism of the twenty-first century. Metamodernism explores how the modernists expanded the horizons of literary potential by challenging well-established notions of narrative consistency. In contemporary fiction, we witness a response to modernism as an artistic endeavor that transcends borders, finding expression in various cultures. Metamodernist narratives, in this context, set themselves apart from an earlier form of modernism by embracing a self-aware and enduring commitment to rebellion and the presentation of the unfamiliar as literary innovations that emerged specifically during the early twentieth century.The metamodern turn’s oscillation between «irony and sincerity» can be seen as a thought-provoking response to the complex political landscape of an era marked by economic instability. In a world where economic uncertainties often shape political agendas and public discourse, this dynamic interplay between irony and sincerity reflects the multifaceted nature of contemporary political engagement.

This article aims to contribute to an understanding of marginalized bodies in science fiction narratives by analyzing how physical disability and homosexuality/bisexuality have been depicted in popular science fiction film and television. Specifically, it analyzes what types of futures are evoked through the exclusion or inclusion of disability and homo/bisexuality. To investigate these futurescapes, in for example Star Trek and The Handmaid’s Tale, the paper uses film analysis guided by the theoretical approach of crip/queer temporality mainly in dialogue with disability/crip scholar Alison Kafer. Although narratives about the future in popular fiction occasionally imagines futures in which disability and homo/bisexuality exist the vast majority do not. This article argues that exclusion of characters with disabilities and homo/bisexual characters in imagined futures of science fiction perpetuate heteronormative and ableist normativity. It is important that fictional narratives of imagined futures do not limit portrayals to heterosexual and able-bodied people but, instead, take into account the ableist and heteronormative imaginaries that these narratives, and in extension contemporary society, are embedded in. Moreover, it is argued that in relation to notions of progression and social inclusion in imagined futurescapes portrayals of homo/bisexuality and disability has been used as narrative devices to emphasis “good” or “bad” futures. Furthermore, homo/bisexuality has increasingly been incorporated as a sign of social inclusion and progression while disability, partly due to the perseverance of a medical understanding of disability, instead is used as a sign of a failed future. However, the symbolic value ascribed to these bodies in stories are based on contemporary views and can thus change accordingly. To change the way the future is envisioned requires challenging how different types of bodies, desires, and notions of normativity are thought about. Sometimes imaginary futures can aid in rethinking and revaluating these taken-for-granted notions of normativity.

AbstractIn this introduction, Taylor-Pirie appraises the intersections of the ‘imaginative architecture of science and empire’ by examining how, as a fledging medical discipline at the fin de siècle, parasitology entered into significant encounters and exchanges with the literary and historical imagination. Introducing readers to Nobel Prize–winning parasitologist Ronald Ross (1857–1932), Taylor-Pirie lays the foundations for the rest of the book by examining how forms such as poetry and biography, genres such as imperial romance and detective fiction, and modes such as adventure and the Gothic together informed how tropical diseases, their parasites, and their vectors were understood in relation to race, gender, and nation. In addition to considering the contemporaneous public understanding of science, she also explores how parasitologists were often engaged in writing their own histories of the discipline, a practice that led to a predominantly white, predominantly male understanding of science that finds a legacy in gender disparities in STEM and biases in popular histories of medicine in favour of a mode of ‘heroic biography’. She provides a brief critical overview of the field of literature and science and places her methodology and the field in the context of contemporary topics like the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, and the heritage culture wars.

The conclusion proposes the need for a more contextualised and a more politicised medical humanities. It also urges a repositioning of the arts and humanities so that they play a more critical, and potentially constitutive, role in relation to the medical. While the volume has been critical of mainstream medical humanities, its continued focus on empathy produces a thread of continuity across the first and second waves of activity in the field. In this sense, the conclusion indicates that, by fostering attunement to a more critically sensitive model of empathy, the medical humanities can move forward in new and surprising directions, as well as remaining grounded in, if differently oriented towards, its founding ethical commitments.

This chapter focuses on medicine and empathy in the context of global capitalism. It argues that our affective interactions are necessarily embedded in, and inflected by, structural and material relations of power. Empathy emerges as an affect that follows existing routes of privilege. The first section, ‘Medical migrations’, analyses current debates about the relation of medical migration to inequalities in world health and traces the circuits by and through which medical resource is distributed. Turning to Aminatta Forna’s The Memory of Love, it is argued that Forna pays detailed attention to the unevenness of the global economics of medical resource, with specific reference to Sierra Leone. In the second section, Forna’s protagonist Adrian Lockheart is used to open up the question of how affect circulates, and where it sticks, in the novel and discusses Adrian’s empathetic misrecognition in the treatments of his patients in Sierra Leone. The final section asks whether change is possible in the novel, drawing out the significance of the novel’s double time frame to suggest that the unfulfilled political promise of the past can shape the future.

‘A Nest in the Air: Phantom Pain and Contemporary Narrative’, written by Emmanuel Bouju, is the first in the ‘Memory: Past and Future’ section, and provides a study on the intersection of new narrative and contemporary medical theories. Bouju’s essay posits contemporary European novels about loss and trauma as textual iterations of the ‘mirror-box’— a contraption designed by neuroscience researchers in order to permit amputees to visualize their missing limb through specular inversion, thus attenuating pain by imaginary muscular exercise of the phantom limb. Similarly, for Bouju, the ‘mirror-box of fiction’ allows for a certain form of ‘resolution, through make-believe, of the intractable problem of representation.’

The Introduction begins by identifying the three central issues in the mainstream medical humanities that it sets out to address: the restriction of medicine to the individualised clinical encounter, its under-theorised understanding of empathy, and its positioning of literature as a transparent vehicle for conveying another’s experience. The section ‘Rethinking “medicine”’ opens up new perspectives on the clinical encounter as well as urging a definition of medicine that extends beyond its boundaries and concerns. The section ‘Theorising Empathy’ introduces the key conceptual frameworks of phenomenology and feminist affect theory. In ‘Re-situating fiction’, discussion centres on the act of reading which is not seen as offering access to another’s mind but as a key site in and through which the limits of empathy are currently being debated.

This chapter asks how, in the context of the medical humanities, we might productively think across disciplinary domains and boundaries. It draws on Ian McEwan’s Saturday as a focus for positioning the question of interdisciplinarity within a specifically British context. The first section, ‘The two cultures’, surveys the ‘two cultures’ debate and its legacy and discusses the appearance of Matthew Arnold’s poem ‘Dover Beach’ at a critical point of the novel. In the second section, ‘A third culture?’, the focus turns to McEwan’s engagement with popular science discourses and argues that it underpins a discernible conservatism in his work. The final section, ‘An unbounded view’, reads Saturday against the grain to argue that, in McEwan’s treatment of dementia a more positive, open-ended model for thinking across the arts and sciences might be seen to emerge.

In this essay, Fernando Namora´s medical activity is seen as a source of literary material. From that, the writer absorbs the experiences of both the sick people and the doctor himself, who tends, cathartically, to confession and autoscopy. Discussing the vast work of the novelist, the text presents the ways in which the author of Retalhos da Vida de um Médico expresses life, always from the confrontation with the world, as well as the constant dialogues of the intellectual with his time, which would, in large part, catalyze the evolution of contemporary Portuguese fiction.

This chapter considers those post-Imperial novels which deal directly with the ending and aftermath of Empire to argue that the medical idiom with which the Empire is repeatedly assessed in fiction represents a desire to alternately diagnose Britain’s contemporary sickness or conduct a post-mortem of the British Raj. The chapter focuses on instances of memory, amnesia, hauntings, mortality and memorial culture, with a particular emphasis on narrative or literary form, and those works that utilise retrospective accounts, or are concerned overtly with temporality. Divided into two sections, the first analyses John Master’s novels Bhowani Junction (1954) and To the Coral Strand (1962) in relation to the end of Empire and the Savage family dynasty, whilst the second focuses on Paul Scott’s Staying On (1977) and the British experience of independent India.

Abstract Dueling bloodletting has been described as no less “magical” than medical bleeding, and “ritual” and “ritualized combat” are terms applied to dueling by historians and novelists alike. Because the secular duel was an unofficial and generally illegal derivative of “trial by combat,” it provides an exemplary illustration of a mutation from official ritual to what the authors call “privatized mock ritual,” all the more interesting because it concerns the relation between public and private “egalitarian” justice. Octave Mirbeau called dueling “of all human absurdities, the most absurdly absurd absurdity,” but it was nevertheless more or less ubiquitous between the Enlightenment and World War I. This chapter focuses particularly on how the codification of dueling rules made the practice increasingly akin to an arbitrary sacrificial lottery. Though emphasizing history rather than fiction, the chapter concludes by returning to patterns of dueling reciprocity in Jacques le fataliste, and briefly considers contemporary suicide-murders.
