Narratives of illness and the dawn of modern medicine

Abstracts

EN

The aim of this article is to take a multifaceted approach to an illness as a biocultural phenomenon. Putting emphasis on the enormous potential that lies in narratives of one’s physical and mental condition may lead to breaking the monopoly of natural sciences in this respect. Subjective perceptions of deterioration, defects and human fragility are combined with practices leading to the textualisation of illness and building new meanings around it. In humanistic medicine, the suffering person is placed at the centre of therapeutic activities. The article offers also some reflection on the current biotechnological revolution – a great project to improve the present version of humans in an attempt to move our species to another level.
