This handbook explores the ways biomedicine and pop culture
interact while simultaneously introducing the reader with the tools
and ideas behind this new field of enquiry. From comic books to
health professionals, from the arts to genetics, from sci-fi to
medical education, from TV series to ethics, it offers different
entry points to an exciting and central aspect of contemporary
culture: how and what we learn about (and from) scientific
knowledge and its representation in pop culture. Divided into three
sections the handbook surveys the basics, the micro-, and the
macroaspects of this interaction between specialized knowledge and
cultural production: After the introduction of basic concepts of
and approaches to the topic from a variety of disciplines, the
respective theories and methods are applied in specific case
studies. The final section is concerned with larger social and
historical trends of the use of biomedical knowledge in popular
culture. Presenting over twenty-five original articles from
international scholars with different disciplinary backgrounds,
this handbook introduces the topic of pop culture and biomedicine
to both new and mature researchers alike. The articles, all
complete with a rich source of further references, are aimed at
being a sincere entry point to researchers and academic educators
interested in this somewhat unexplored field of culture and
biomedicine.
