HOMO PATIENS:
Approaches to the patient in the ancient world
The research programme Medicine of the Mind, Philosophy of the Body - Discourses of Health in the Ancient World
is organizing an international conference, to be hosted at the
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, from Friday, June 29, till Sunday, July
1, 2012.This will be a three-day international conference that aims at bringing together not only classicists and historians of medicine but also medical anthropologists and medical practitioners to discuss the figure of the ‘patient’ in ancient medicine. In particular, this meeting aims at shifting the focus from the ancient doctors’ authoritative discourses about their profession, knowledge, theories and practices to reconstruct, to whatever extent this is possible, the role, position and experience of the patient.
