Covid-19: Some Reflections from a Medical Anthropology Perspective
If you would like to join the Zoom session, please contact s.burri@unibas.ch.
This presentation builds upon the seminar 'Anthropology in/of Epidemics' and represents a collaborative effort in which Lucia Flor Gonzalez Fernandez, Annora Mack and Flurin Bossard (see below) reflect on Medical Anthropology perspectives on Covid-19 together with Piet van Eeuwijk and Andrea Kaiser-Grolimund. Infectious diseases are historically a well acquainted topic in Medical Anthropology whereas epidemics (and particularly the newly emerging global infections) and corresponding research constitute a thematic field yet in the making. We shed light on the epidemics-related dimensions in current Medical Anthropology and illuminate as focal point some of the narratives, measures and effects of Covid-19 from a background of different countries and case studies through the lens of selected Medical Anthropology concepts. Covid-19 and potential future directions (in Medical Anthropology) complete this brief excursion into some Medical Anthropology perspectives.
