Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities (Routledge Advances in Asia-Pacific Studies)

Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities (Routledge Advances in Asia-Pacific Studies)

This edited volume will explore a wide range of issues relating to health, medicine, and the body in China and other societies identified as Chinese during the past century, through the medium of the moving image.　Drawing on both feature and documentary films from mainland China and elsewhere in sinophone cultures, it will examine the representation in film of many important aspects of modern Chinese experiences of health, illness, and medical care, including the work of 'barefoot doctors' during the Cultural Revolution, the HIV/AIDs epidemic during the 1980s and '90s, changing attitudes towards the physically challenged since the 1970s, and the virtual privatisation of the Chinese health care system during the post-Mao Zedong 'Reform era'. The aim is to achieve a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the changes which have transformed the lives and embodied experience of people in China since the start of the twentieth century. Each study will deliver a critical analysis of cinematic representations and treatments of health care, health conditions and health-related issues in the light of ideas drawn from close reading of a film, from critical theory in gender, cultural and science studies and other academic disciplines, and by setting the films and the issues that they highlight in their historical and contexts. The volume will end with a forward-looking section, asking how moving image materials can be used in future in the training of health professionals, in treating patients, and in health-care.
