Article Synopsis
- Scholars differentiate between testimonial and hermeneutical epistemic injustice in healthcare; the former involves negative stereotypes, while the latter deals with a lack of understanding in the dominant culture about a patient's illness experience.
- The paper focuses on drug-dependent patients and discusses three temporal dimensions of epistemic injustice: their cognitive processes, personal experiences of time, and the mismatch between social timing and available care resources.
- The authors argue that these temporal issues do not fit neatly into the existing categories of testimonial or hermeneutical injustice, highlighting the complexities of addressing epistemic injustice in healthcare.
Creativity and Body: Living Metaphors in the Context of People Undergoing Heart Transplantation.
Integr Psychol Behav Sci
January 2025
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This article explores the embodied dimension of authoring life trajectories for individuals who have undergone heart transplantation. Confronting the radical otherness of existential finitude can create a rich context for examining the relationships between authorship, corporeality, and creative processes. By integrating Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of the body with Susanne Langer's theory of affective semiosis and presentational signs, this work aims to foster a productive dialogue between these perspectives, grounded in Semiotic Cultural Psychology, which meta-theoretically synthesizes a diverse range of knowledge on the transformative interaction between individuals and culture.
