In Search of Immortality: The Political Economy of Anti-aging Medicine
Medicine Studies - Tập 1 - Trang 267-279 - 2009
Anti-aging medicine is characterised by significant ‘hype’, hope and promise.
This article examines the conditions giving rise to and sustaining this field.
It questions its key premises, highlights the politico-economic ‘drivers’ of its
innovations, and identifies the key actor networks sustaining its practices. As

The Evaluation of Psychopharmacological Enhancers Beyond a Normative “Natural”–“Artificial” Dichotomy
Medicine Studies - Tập 3 - Trang 19-27 - 2011
The extra-therapeutic use of psychotropic drugs to improve cognition and to
enhance mood has been the subject of controversial discussion in bioethics, in
medicine but also in public for many years. Concerns over a liberal dealing with
pharmacological enhancers are raised not only from a biomedical–pharmacological
perspective, but particularly from an ethical one. Within these ethical
concerns, th...

‘Skin Trade’: Genealogy of Anti-ageing ‘Whiteness Therapy’ in Colonial Medicine
Medicine Studies - Tập 4 - Trang 119-129 - 2014

do-it-yourself anti-ageing skin-whitening products represents a re-articulation
of Western colonial concerns with environmental pollution and racial degeneracy
into concern with gendered vulnerability. This emerging market is a multibillion
dollar industry anchored in the USA, but expanding globally. Do-it-yourself
anti-ageing ski...
Therapeutic Intervention of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder by Chinese Medicine: Perspectives for Transdisciplinary Cooperation Between Life Sciences and Humanities
Medicine Studies - Tập 4 - Trang 71-89 - 2013
Taking post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an example, we present a concept
for transdisciplinary cooperation between life sciences and humanities. PTSD is
defined as a long-term persisting anxiety disorder after severe psychological
traumata. Initially recognized in war veterans, PTSD also appears in victims of
crime and violence or survivors of natural catastrophes, e.g., earthquakes. We
co...
Understanding Schizophrenic Delusion: The Role of Some Primary Alterations of Subjective Experience
Medicine Studies - Tập 3 - Trang 233-248 - 2012
This paper explores the possibility of understanding schizophrenic delusion
through the role of a primary alteration of subjective experience. Two
approaches are contrasted: the first defines schizophrenic delusion as a primary
symptom resisting any attempt to understand, whereas the second describes
delusion as a secondary symptom, to be understood as a rational reaction of the
self. The paper di...
Teaching the Anatomy of Death: A Dying Art?
Medicine Studies - Tập 2 - Trang 1-19 - 2010
Along with anatomical dissection, attendance at hospital autopsies has
historically been seen as an essential part of medical education. While the use
of the dead body for teaching purposes is losing favour in Australian medical
schools, this shift is preceded by a significant decline in the rate of
autopsies nationwide (and internationally). The decline of the autopsy has
particular implications ...
