This volume addresses the notions of violence, care and cure within the medical encounter and seeks to foreground their ambiguity, whether individually or as a triad. Thematically organised, it attends to the complex entanglement of these key terms by way of historical, practical, philosophical, personal, and aesthetic analyses of different medical scenes, objects and concepts. Arguing that a hermeneutic of violence, care, and cure is inseparable from individual and collective perceptions of the medical encounter, it considers both the material and ''immaterial'' spaces in which medical encounters occur (whether the consulting room or the biopolitical discourse, for instance), engaging with the most apparent forms of medical violence as well as with hidden forms of aggression that circulate in everyday medical and healthcare settings, and which affect predominantly marginalised and minority groups. It will therefore appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in the medical humanities, critical theory and gender studies.
