The Function of Symptoms in British Literature since Modernism looks at various ways of treating symptoms of psychological disorders in the literature of the long twentieth century. This book shows that literature can, in its questioning of commonly accepted views of this lived experience of psychic symptoms, help engender new theories about the functioning of subjective cases. Modernism emerged at about the same time as Freudian psychoanalysis did and the aim of this book is to also show that to a certain extent, Woolf preceded Freud in her exploration of the symptom and contributed to fashioning another approach that is now more common, especially in writers from the 1990s-onwards.

This is a book about life during the HIV epidemic in Ethiopia, and seeks to understand how and why the global effort to achieve universal HIV treatment has shifted away from its initial focus on the excessive human suffering precipitated by the epidemic. When antiretroviral drugs became available in Ethiopia, they emerged as powerful agents of change: not only did they cure individuals, they also helped people overcome their fear of – and break the silence around – AIDS, while healing the social ruptures caused by the epidemic. Nevertheless, as this book argues, the very same agents have silently “reversed” these changes over the course of the past decade. These reversals have dissolved connections, re-incurred invisible social fissures, and allowed a large majority of people to stay indifferent to the suffering of individuals whose lives remain vulnerable under the current treatment regime. This whole process is a product of neoliberal global health interventions that determine which lives are worthy or unworthy of investment. This book will interest scholars of biopolitics and public health, those who study the developing world, and those interested in how pandemic interventions alter the lives of many. Makoto Nishi is an associate professor at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Hiroshima University. His current research projects focus on the care environment for families affected by some neurological conditions, including parasite-induced epilepsy in post-conflict northern Uganda and autism during Covid time in neoliberal Japan.

Envisioning Embodiment in the Health Humanities: Literature, Culture, and Media examines discourses of embodiment across disability studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and visual studies to inform educational practice as well as cultural criticism related to the health and medical humanities. The book argues that imagery and other visual elements in literature, comics, lived experience and the arts demonstrate the hybridity of the embodied experience and identity and have something to offer to clinical practice. Connected to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Health), 4 (Gender equality), and 16 (Strong institutions), the topics addressed in the essays include mental health, grief, COVID-19, healthcare practices, cancer, and women’s health. The volume is designed to be accessible to advanced undergraduate students as well as graduate students and to be useful for medical practitioners and others who are interested in the health humanities, disability studies, gender studies, or cultural studies.
