Abstract

Osteopathy is a complementary treatment method that targets motor restrictions and enhances motility through touch. While recent studies have explored the functions, dimensions, and effects of touch in osteopathy, there is a lack of research on how touch renders bodies intelligible - or what bodies, for that matter. In this article, we use the verb to affect/to be affected to explore how bodies become known by and to Dutch osteopaths, and how the senses play a role in this. Our analysis shows how touch allows osteopaths to affect and be affected by their patients' bodies - as well as by their own.

论触摸的情感：荷兰整骨疗法中的身体表演。

整骨疗法是一种辅助治疗方法，通过触摸来消除运动限制和增强运动能力。虽然近期的研究已经探索了触觉在整骨疗法中的功能、维度和效果，但对于触觉如何使身体变得可理解--或者说使什么身体变得可理解--还缺乏研究。在本文中，我们使用 "影响"/"被影响 "这一动词来探讨荷兰骨科医生是如何认识身体的，以及感官是如何在其中发挥作用的。我们的分析表明了触觉是如何让骨科医生影响病人的身体以及自己的身体，并被病人的身体所影响。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
