Description
Bringing together two parallel and occasionally intersecting disciplines - the environmental and medical humanities - this field-defining handbook reveals our ecological predicament to be a simultaneous threat to human health. Featuring contributions from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives it adopts a truly global approach, examining contexts including, but not limited to, North America, India, the UK, Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Turkey and East Asia. In doing so, it touches on issues and approaches such as narrative medicine, ecoprecarity, toxicity, mental health, and contaminated environments from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including literary studies, environmental ethics and philosophy, cultural history and sociology. Showcasing and surveying a rich spectrum of debates, approaches and methodologies, this book looks not only at where research currently is at the intersection of these two important fields, but also at where it is going.
