Heat-related mortality is on the rise. Heat waves have now attracted considerable attention from epidemiologists, sociologists, physicians, urban planners, and historians. This scholarship has been characterized by vigorous debate and fiercely contested narratives. This essay examines the controversies that have swirled around two prominent heat waves-Chicago in 1995 and Paris in 2003. Given the complexity of heat-related mortality, it is no surprise that researchers have argued about the nature of risk, the role of climate change, and the phenomena of mortality displacement. One risk, however, is that ongoing debate about the intricacies of epidemiology and sociology will foster confusion about the danger of heat waves and undermine the consensus that is needed to motivate action against the threat of heat. Scholars face a difficult challenge: how to acknowledge ongoing and healthy scientific debate while also recognizing that there are large areas of consensus that justify public health action. The health and environmental humanities, fields that have long been interested in questions of unstable and contested narratives, offer valuable perspective on meeting this challenge.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149239927","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}

Most doctors across the globe will be familiar with the term, and many would consider it the bedrock of good clinical care. Yet, EBM has met with unexpected difficulties translating its aspirations globally. We focus on the word evidence as a key to understanding this problem. Following the trajectory of the word evidence in French and Spanish medicine as a case of untranslatability (Barbara Cassin), we argue that the troubles inherent in translating evidence across languages and cultures point back to the complexity and nonobviousness of the word in English. This complexity haunts EBM, and it should be centered, not obscured, in discussions about how to translate clinical research into medical practice. We conclude by encouraging medicine, first, to embrace these linguistic difficulties as a key to offering better care; second, to view the issues we raise not as solvable with the right word but as an intrinsic part of the languages themselves; and, finally, to use the difficulty and underacknowledged pluralism within the language of medicine as a provocation for thinking more broadly about how medical knowledge is made, understood, and circulated.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149225157","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}

Originating at King's College London and Columbia University in New York, these practices examined the healthcare implications of the narrativist turn occurring in the early 1990s in response to theory upheavals of the late twentieth century. Narrative medicine joins health humanities to bring humanities, the arts, and qualitative social sciences to bear on the narrative, rhetorical, linguistic, metaphorical, and relational dimensions of embodiment and intersubjectivity in healthcare. The narrative medicine group at Columbia University convened Narrative Medicine International in 2019 to unite efforts in the field across the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, UK, China, Japan, South Asia, Africa, and the Asian Pacific. This essay features excerpts from interviews with two leading scholars in Narrative Medicine International, one from Beijing and one from Paris and Italy. They examine the cultural variations of narrative medicine in their countries to characterize local influences on a growing global discipline. The discoveries arise where the stories cross.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149184893","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}

Preciado's call for the 'depatriarchalization, deheterosexualization and decolonization' (2021, 76) of psychoanalysis by developing a method of epistemological insubordination for reading the psychoanalytic archive. Historic texts, still taught in contemporary trainings, mobilise powerful affective responses in trainees yet remain largely unexamined as transferential objects within training institutions. Situating psychoanalytic writing as a Derridean archive, I perform a queer phenomenological historiographic reading of Helene Deutsch's writings on female homosexuality for \"straight lines,\" \"straightening devices,\" and \"queer angles\", tracing shifts in psychoanalytic attitudes between 1930s Vienna and 1940s Boston. I then extend this method by working with my own fabulative responses to these difficult texts, developing a technique of failed fabulation that mobilises the rigid, mythosymbolic structures of the ego through playfully fucking with the psychoanalytic ancestors. Finally, I consider how these methods might support pedagogy in psychoanalytic training courses, while attending to the unevenly distributed risks of this approach. The article contributes to debates within queer medical humanities about how clinical education can reckon with its colonial, cis-heteronormative legacies.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116129","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}

We are currently in the midst of another major crisis in medicine with escalating levels of physician burnout and patient dissatisfaction. No one would disagree that we need to educate physicians who are empathetic. However, most of the emphasis on using humanities to help has centered on the idea that students can be essentially inoculated against the socialization in medicine that, unchecked, will lead to a lack of empathy and connection to patients. This article reviews the limitations of isolating humanities interventions to the medical school years, as well as the narrow justification for history, humanities, and arts in medicine as tools for making better doctors. It then explores the ways in which history, humanities, and the arts can serve as a kind of tonic, a form of healing or antidote, to help the people who are practicing amidst the challenges of contemporary medicine. More boldly, this article makes the argument that history, humanities, and the arts can move beyond individuals to help us transform medicine itself.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116227","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}

Within the context of colonised countries like Aotearoa New Zealand, this means attending to the role that colonisation and Eurocentric views of gender and sexuality play in queer and trans peoples' experiences of marginalisation within healthcare. In this paper we argue that intersectional decolonising approaches to gender and sexuality are central to transforming trans inclusion within healthcare settings. We demonstrate this through drawing on examples from Warming the Whare, a 3-year participatory action research project focused on increasing trans inclusion within perinatal mental health services by centring Te Whare Takatāpui-an Indigenous health and wellbeing framework. Our research practices demonstrate how Indigenous knowledge can be centred within trans-inclusive work to attend to the root causes of marginalisation and harm resulting from colonisation. The examples from our practices illustrate the importance of relational research partnerships, intersectional research teams and being accountable for our research practice as necessary ways to get to these root causes of harm. We do not present ourselves as perfect examples of decolonising research practice; instead, we position ourselves as taking up the call for continued learning and reflection that drives decolonising practice in research. We present our work as an example of what queer medical humanities might offer the broader discipline of medical humanities, calling for innovation, intersectionality and changes that centre and support the humanisation of healthcare.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149018161","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}
