Routledge Handbook of Translation and Health

<p><em>The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Health </em>provides a bridge between translation studies and the burgeoning field of health humanities, which seeks novel ways of understanding health and illness. As discourses around health and illness are dependent on languages for their transmission, impact, spread, acceptance and rejection in local settings, translation studies offers a wealth of data, theoretical approaches and methods for studying health and illness globally.</p><p>Translation and health intersect in a multitude of settings, historical moments, genres, media and users. This volume brings together topics ranging from interpreting in healthcare settings to translation within medical sciences, from historical and contemporary travels of medicine through translation to areas such as global epidemics, disaster situations, interpreting for children, mental health, women’s health, disability, maternal health, queer feminisms and sexual health, and nutrition. Contributors come from a wide range of disciplines, not only from various branches of translation and interpreting studies, but also from disciplines such as psychotherapy, informatics, health communication, interdisciplinary health science and classical Islamic studies.</p><p>Divided into four sections and each contribution written by leading international authorities, this timely<em> Handbook</em> is an indispensable resource for all students and researchers of translation and health within translation and interpreting studies, as well as medical and health humanities.</p><p>Introduction and Chapter 18 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.</p> <p>Acknowledgements</p><p>List of Contributors</p><p>Introduction</p><p>Beyond Translation and Medicine: Initiating Exchanges between Translation Studies and Health Humanities</p><p>Part I - Travels of Medicine from Ancient to Modern Times</p><p>1.
