o:547564 Hipócrates y sus artificios Enfermedad, medicina y narración en las literaturas y culturas hispánicas e hispanoamericanas es Literatura y medicina han entablado, en la historia, una relación necesaria y apremiante. Más aún, esta ligazón se perfila en América como una búsqueda que indaga, transversalmente, las dinámicas que conforman el continente y sus producciones literarias. Los ensayos aquí recogidos ofrecen una perspectiva que abarca varios siglos y una diversidad de temas y expresiones artísticas. En particular, aunque de modo no exclusivo, estos se enfocan sobre la elaboración en clave fantástica –entendida esta en sentido amplio– de la enfermedad y de la medicina. Los trabajos presentados escudriñan autores y obras que se han enfrentado con la experiencia límite de la enfermedad y de su sanación y que, además, lo han hecho llevando al extremo su propia palabra e imaginación. This book explores the relationship between Hispanic and Hispanic American literatures, cultures, medicine, and illness. The collected essays that comprise this volume offer diverse perspectives and approaches, that enhance the topicality and relevance of the explored themes. On the one hand, the works draw attention to artistic expressions that use fantastic rhetoric, seeking to deepen the sense of the unknown by overcoming the boundaries of reality. Indeed, this aesthetic quest is inevitably intertwined with the sphere of illness and its potential healing. The perimeter of the human experience seems to fall into a doubtful and dim atmosphere. On the other hand, we also know that literature depicts the world in a realistic or mimetic manner. This approach has been considered in a way that engages with the fissures produced by the altered state of the subject. Moreover, an important part of this study is dedicated to non-hegemonic medical knowledge and practices belonging to indigenous and traditional cultures that firmly challenge Eurocentrism imposition that is apparently indisputable. Overall, we can conclude that this book poses a series of original suggestions that reveal the urgency of preserving investigating the way we interpret the untold, the unintelligible, and the unacceptable.
