Medical Materialities investigates possible points of
cross-fertilisation between medical anthropology and material
culture studies, and considers the successes and limitations of
both sub-disciplines as they attempt to understand places,
practices, methods, and cultures of healing. The editors present
and expand upon a definition of 'medical materiality', namely the
social impact of the agency of often mundane, at times
non-clinical, materials within contexts of health and illness, as
caused by the properties and affordances of this material. The
chapters address material culture in various clinical and
biomedical contexts and in discussions that link the body and
healing. The diverse ethnographic case studies provide valuable
insight into the way cultures of medicine are understood and
practised.
