Cartographies of the Body. Contested Knowledges on Contemporary Health [Volume I]
Keywords:
body, health, disputed knowledges, interdisciplinarity, experienceSynopsis
This book examines how knowledge about the body and illness is constructed, cir-culated, and contested. The work articulates historical, institutional, labor, clinical, and ethnobotanical problems to show that health is not reducible to medical con-sultation. The chapters cover indigenous demographic collapse, transparency in health services, tourism work, the fall of the Mexica Empire, renal chronicity, seed valorization, the organization of subjective experience, and knowledge about glu-cose. Taken together, the volume proposes an interdisciplinary perspective that links evidence, institutions, memories, and everyday practices, and warns that the legitimation of knowledge is not a neutral process. The work invites reading health as a field of tensions among therapeutic models, structural conditions, and em-bodied experiences.
