The Development of Narrative Practices in Medicine c.1960-c.2000
No full text‘… if I have to explain to someone, like the anthropologist from Mars, what any of these words like compassion or whatever is, sooner or later I have to tell them a story.’ Professor Arthur Frank Chaired by Professor Brian Hurwitz (King’s College), this Witness Seminar discusses the origins and evolution of ‘narrative medicine’ as an intellectual and educational field. Featuring the testimonies of contributors from the USA, Canada, UK and Europe, topics include the introduction of humanities into medical education; the influence of medical ethics debates, and the development of bioethics; the impact of political and social movements, for example on disability issues; the emergence of palliative care; patient literature on illness experiences such as cancer, as well as the interdisciplinary underpinnings of narrative practices in medicine derived from philosophical spheres such as hermeneutics, and from the fields of psychoanalysis, psychiatry, and the social sciences. The volume also features an introduction by Professor Trisha Greenhalgh (Oxford).Wellcome Trust History of Modern Biomedicine Research Grou
Clinical molecular genetics in the UK c.1975-c.2000
No full textseminar transcriptChaired by Professor Martin Bobrow and introduced by Professor Bob Williamson, this Witness Seminar included geneticists from a broad range of research and clinical specialities. Discussions of molecular research into haemoglobin disorders, and the development of probes for related genes in the 1970s, included particular acknowledgment of Southern blotting as a critical tool for such research. Also noted was a landmark conference in Crete in 1978 that emphasized the special significance of research work on thalassaemia, as well as providing fruitful networking opportunities for scientists from around the world. Similarly, in 1982, a key course at Leiden University introduced molecular techniques to geneticists from across Europe. In that same year the first prenatal diagnosis by chorionic villus sampling was published, and the emotional aspects of such genetic diagnoses for patients, families and clinicians were frequently discussed during the seminar. Other issues, including the funding of research, and especially the role of patient support groups; the establishment and growth of professional interest groups and bodies such as the Clinical Molecular Genetics Society; and the development of national genetics
Monoclonal Antibodies to Migraine: Witnesses to modern biomedicine, an A-Z
No full textThe History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group hosted its first Witness Seminar, on monoclonal antibodies, in 1993. Since then more than sixty such meetings have been held, the most recent on migraine in 2013. These all sought to go behind-the-scenes of contemporary biomedicine to find out ‘what really happened’. In this, the Group’s twenty-first anniversary year, we are delighted to present our fiftieth Witness Seminar volume Monoclonal Antibodies to Migraine: Witnesses to modern biomedicine, an A–Z. Comprising a series of extracts from previous volumes, contributors include clinicians, scientists, patients and numerous others involved in modern biomedicine, in the UK and beyond. Topics range from ‘age discrimination’ to ‘Zantac’, and feature memories from every decade between the 1930s and the present.The History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group hosted its first Witness Seminar, on monoclonal antibodies, in 1993.

Medical genetics: Development of ethical dimensionsin clinical practice and research
No full textA Witness Seminar on the emergence of complex ethical issues in clinical genetics practice, the evolution of these issues over several decades of advances in medical genetics research and social change, and the professionalization of this field. Chaired by Professor Anneke Lucassen (Southampton) with an introduction by Professor Richard Ashcroft (QMUL). '… most of us going in as clinicians and coming out as clinical geneticists had absolutely zero grounding in philosophy, psychology, or any other kind of ‘ology’ really.' Professor Peter Harper ‘… the whole healthcare system is geared up to the individual, largely, to the person with a symptom who comes and needs to be assessed and investigated and treated and so on. … the true patient in the genetics clinic is the family, not only the individual.’ Professor Peter Turnpenn

O foco narrativo na ficção contemporânea : uma leitura de Author, Author, de David Lodge
No full textOrientador : Prof. Dr. Caetano Waldrigues GalindoAutor não autorizou a divulgação do arquivo digitalDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa: Curitiba, 26/06/2013Bibliografia: fls. 158-161Área de concentração: Estudos LiteráriosResumo: O propósito deste trabalho é refletir sobre a construção do foco narrativo em Author, Author (2004), de David Lodge, romance biográfico sobre o escritor Henry James (1843-1916). O narrador não se limita a situar o leitor na narrativa: o seu posicionamento em relação aos aspectos factuais da vida e do percurso literário do romancista norte-americano desempenha papel fundamental na discussão das estratégias narrativas da prosa de ficção de James. Na construção ficcional do malogro na noite de estreia de Guy Domville, em Londres, em 1895, por exemplo, é possível perceber a bipartição desse narrador, capaz de contar e mostrar dois episódios que se passam em dois lugares diferentes, simultaneamente. Em outros momentos do romance, a voz autoral embaralha-se com a voz do sujeito da enunciação a tal ponto, que o leitor menos atento encontra certa dificuldade para colocar ordem nos discursos. O abandono gradual da prosa de ficção em busca de uma identidade como dramaturgo, a falta de êxito na dramaturgia, a lenta recuperação psicológica, a retomada da prosa de ficção e o resultado insatisfatório da revisão e escrita de prefácios para as suas obras, para compor The novels and tales of Henry James:The New York Edition (1905), são alguns dos desdobramentos da trajetória de James, discutidos em Author, Author.Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to think over the construction process of narrative focus in Author, Author (2004), by David Lodge, a biographical novel about the writer Henry James (1843-1916). The narrator does not limit himself to guiding the reader through the narrative; rather, his attitude towards factual aspects of the life and literary course of the North-American novelist seems to play a fundamental role in the novel. In the fictional construction of the débâcle of "Guy Domville", in London, 1895 for instance it is possible to distinguish the narrator's bipartition, in order to tell and show two different episodes which happen in two different places, simultaneously. In other moments, the authorial voice blends with that of the subject of the enunciation to such a degree that the less attentive reader may not be capable of organizing the discourse, in a first moment. James' gradual movement away from prose fiction so as to find his playwright identity; the lack of success as a playwright; his subsequent slow psychological recovery; the return to prose fiction; and, finally, the weak result of writing and revising prefaces to his literary works in order to put together The Novels and Tales of Henry James: The New York Edition (1905), are some of the most conspicuous events in James' trajectory discussed in Author, Author
