Blood and Self in Modern Chinese Medicine and Culture
University of Michigan's Center for Chinese Studies presents a talk by Professor Bridie Andrews Minehan on Chinese medicine's connection to the concept of modernity.

What does it mean when our understandings of vital body functions changes?
This presentation traces the mapping of modern-medical ideas about blood onto pre-existing medical and cultural understandings in China. Through blood, we will explore how cultural exchange has affected the lived experience of the body, the self, and community. Blood is used as both medium and metaphor for the creation of a Chinese modernity.
Bridie Andrews Minehan completed a PhD in the history of medicine at Cambridge University, has held posts at SOAS, University of London, and Harvard University. She is currently Assistant Professor at Bentley University in the Boston area. This talk draws material from her forthcoming book Medicine, Culture and Modernity in China.
Time: 12 pm-1:00 pm
