Summary
David Morris: Illness and Culture in the Postmodern Age
Illness has changed over the last fifty years, in the period of transition from the modern to the postmodern age. We get sick from unknown diseases, undergo unimaginable treatments, die in disturbing new ways and in new places. The postmodern disease, the author claims, is unavoidable in the analysis of the modern age, just like movies, cars, computers and spaceships.
The main goal of this reading is to reflect and integrate the scattered minority tradition, in which the importance of cultural influences on health and disease is considered. Many readers will recognize the contributions of prominent thinkers within this tradition, such as Rene Dubois, George L. Engel, Oliver Sacks, Melvin Konner, Artur Kleinman, and (above all) Michel Foucault. Understanding disease as a biocultural phenomenon, which is the subject of this book, goes a long way in illuminating changes, conflicts and confusion in postmodern medicine.
