One way in which such knowledge stretches into the public realm is in the shape of press releases. This chapter contributes with understandings about what occurs when medical scientific knowledge is explained in press releases by bringing forth public relations officers’ and researchers’ thoughts about the negotiations that take place in the processes of writing, distribution and reception of press releases. The essay draws on a genre theoretical framework and is based on material acquired through interviews with communication professionals and neuroscience scholars working at two different Swedish universities. The discussion is based on three reoccurring themes identified in the interviews. These are, firstly, how findings are framed in terms of breakthroughs and news, secondly, the importance of striking a balance and not promise too much, and lastly, the importance of facilitating some form identification among audiences with that which is reported.","PeriodicalId":144682,"journal":{"name":"Movement of knowledge: Medical humanities perspectives on medicine, science, and experience","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116196159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the traditional aesthetic disciplines, like art history, are largely absent from this research field, in spite of their century-old tradition of studying the arts. Why is that, and how can we bridge the divide between these separate worlds of knowledge? This chapter argues that opposing definitions of knowledge keep them apart, but that they can overcome this obstacle by initiating respectful, negotiating dialouge. As a result, arts and health and the aesthetic disciplines will be able to exchange knowledge, and learn not only about art but also about their own epistemological outlooks","PeriodicalId":144682,"journal":{"name":"Movement of knowledge: Medical humanities perspectives on medicine, science, and experience","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115374408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method presented here centres on offering support to the member of the medical team who facilitates the actual implementation—the so-called facilitator—so that the team can better understand the processes at work. The purpose is to highlight how ethnographic methods can make the facilitator’s task of driving the implementation easier.","PeriodicalId":144682,"journal":{"name":"Movement of knowledge: Medical humanities perspectives on medicine, science, and experience","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124091230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the global scale, the trade in illicit medicines in the grey market is expanding, posing a serious threat to both individuals and society. Against this background, we discuss how people relate to medicines and medical authorities, and how knowledge is mobilized and embodied in the form of medicines. We use data from a digital survey and netnographic observation in Swedish chat forums. We observe the emergence of a network where knowledge from a variety of sources is collected and synthesized, produced and consumed. We also identify that people have turned themselves into skilled prosumers of knowledge and that individual agency is enacted in various ways.","PeriodicalId":144682,"journal":{"name":"Movement of knowledge: Medical humanities perspectives on medicine, science, and experience","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122511795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
