Dis\/ability studies, fat studies, mad studies, end-of-life studies, and critical race studies among other fields have sought to better understand what social factors lead to pathologising certain conditions while other variations remain \u0026amp;#x27;normalised.\u0026amp;#x27; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile recognising that these scholarly approaches often speak to identities with radically different experiences of pathologisation, this collection of essays is open to all critical engagements with narratives of health in order to facilitate the messiness of cross-disciplinary collaboration and interdisciplinarity. As scientific advances provide insight into a wide range of well-being issues and help extend life, it is vital that we come to question the very categories of \u0026amp;#x27;healthy\u0026amp;#x27; and \u0026amp;#x27;unhealthy.\u0026amp;#x27; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together analyses of cultural productions which probe those categorisations and suggest new psychological and philosophical understandings which will help better apply and guide the knowledge being rapidly developed within the life sciences. \u0026amp;#x27;Right of health\u0026amp;#x27; is a widely accepted human right, but in applying a right to healthcare what care and what sort of health are less universally agreed upon. The contributors share an interest in addressing who controls answers to the questions of \u0026amp;#x27;how do we define a healthy body and a healthy life?\u0026amp;#x27; and \u0026amp;#x27;what are the political forces that influence our definitions of health?\u0026amp;#x27;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924893843614,"sku":"ING-9781785277108","price":124.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781785277108.jpg?v=1782955071","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781785277108","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
