What can the Sinophone world offer to the Medical and Health Humanities?
What can the Medical and Health Humanities offer to China?
UCL’s Institute of Advanced Studies is hosting a double launch of two CCHH publications concerned with the history of China’s visual cultures and the Medical and Health Humanities: the edited volumeImagining Chinese Medicine (Vivienne Lo and Penelope Barrett eds, Brill 2018) and the website YiMovi. There will be wine, food and live entertainment as well as presentations by the authors and other contributors.
Imagining Chinese Medicine is the fruit of a long-term collaborative project between scholars at UCL, the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (中国中医科学院) and Peking University (PKU). In 36 chapters, it takes the reader on a remarkable journey through the history of medical illustration in China, from the imaging of a classical medicine, to instructional manuals for bone-setting, to advertising and comic books of the Yellow Emperor. By putting images, their power and their travels at the centre of the analysis, it reveals many new and exciting dimensions to the history of medicine and embodiment, and challenges eurocentric histories.
YiMovi– the website for Chinese film and the cross-cultural Medical Humanities – is conceived and curated by an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars and cinephiles mainly from PKU and UCL, all involved for many years in teaching Medical/Health Humanities to Chinese students.
It grows out of our shared interest in the moving image as a pedagogical tool, and as a source of new local and transnational perspectives on medicine, health and the body.
The UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity brings together UCL’s considerable China expertise in an ambitious programme of interdisciplinary teaching and research.
We support interdisciplinary research and education into China’s health in its social, cultural and historical contexts, and China’s impact on world health, past, present and future.
The Centre is strong in the social sciences, history and culture, archaeology, the environment, law and international health and development. It is committed to UCL's Grand Challenges especially as they relate to China: global health, sustainable cities, intercultural interaction and human wellbeing.
We aim to develop existing connections and facilitate new collaborative initiatives with institutions in China, creating new spaces for dialogue and debate about effective and appropriate health interventions.
The Centre organises seminars, film screenings and general-interest events. To register as a Friend of UCL CCHH and join our Events mailing list, please fill in the online form by clicking here.
