Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities is the first book to
reflect on the power of film in representing medical and health
discourse in China in both the past and the present, as well as in
shaping its future. 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.
