About the Event
This workshop brings together scholars, creative practitioners, medical educators, and clinicians concerned with disorders of the embodied mind, to consider how artistic modernism might offer specific resources for understanding what it means to live with conditions which resist narrative shapes of closure and completion. This workshop is the first event organized by the AHRC funded network
‘Modernism, Medicine and the Embodied Mind: Investigating Disorders of the Self’.
