Produktbeschreibung
Bridging memoir with key concepts in disability studies, narratology, and philosophy of medicine, Metagnosis: Revelatory Narratives of Health and Identity explores an experience many of us have faced: Learning of a longstanding fact about oneself, whether it is a medical condition or new knowledge concerning one's genetic heritage. How do we understand these revelations? What do they have to teach us about the way we construct medical knowledge? How can we empower ourselves to navigate these terms? What are the implications for our understanding of identity itself? With a highly readable yet intellectually nuanced and profoundly interdisciplinary approach, Metagnosis draws the reader into dialogue with these essential questions.
