While this organism has usually been perceived as a model organism in science or a pest to beekeepers, it acquired a new mode of being as potentially probiotic, inviting us to dream of a future without plastic waste. In this paper, I explore how wax worms are entangled with material practices of care and narratives that give meaning to these practices. These stories, however, are marked by manipulation, exploitation, and extermination, and call for a questioning of our modes of caring. Consequently, I offer a counter-narrative that questions our anthropocentric practices of caring and the stories we attach to them. Borrowing Puig de la Bellacasa's notion of ecopoetics, I tell another story based on my participation in the making of an art installation hosting wax worms. The installation creates an opening of a world of curiosity and cultivates a sensibility for wax worms expanding their modes of being and our capabilities of appreciation. In the end, I argue that by mattering and storying differently, we have the opportunity to challenge anthropocentric interests and make a different world of caring and co-existence possible.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":"357-371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12488756/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives, format, and core pedagogical ideas and practices of an elective course in medical humanities are presented, situating the learning experience in the wider context of medical humanities in the Nordics. We conducted a qualitative, thematic analysis of course evaluations amassed over 15 years and of open-ended responses in an alumni survey sent out in 2023. Using these two sources, we compare the students' immediate perception of medical humanities' contribution to their education with what they discern when looking back. The students report that medical humanities teaching advances an understanding and responsiveness to narratives and furthers an ability to balance the rational, bio-medical perspective with a more holistic empathetic view of patients and illness, providing a deeper and broader toolkit to work from in clinical practice. The students perceive that they have acquired a specific expertise, obtained training in perspective taking, and yielded personal growth and agency. The interpretative sensitivities and competencies reverberated in the alumni survey and were reported to influence subsequent clinical work. Our study suggests that the impact of medical humanities teaching is transferred to both occupational practice and personal life, and that the impact is long term.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973481","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}

It elucidates a novel tool, artistic pain exploration (APE), for healthcare providers to gain deeper insights into the subjective experiences and expressions of pain beyond traditional clinical assessment tools. We propose that visual art offers an expressive conduit to communicating and understanding not just the nature of pain but also each patient's unique experience. Using Edvard Munch's seminal and visceral painting, The Scream, as a case study, we demonstrate that the APE tool can be used both at the bedside and in health profession education. The APE tool is currently being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial involving surgical patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), further exploring its clinical utility. The paper argues that integrating art into clinical practice and education fosters more patient-centered care and presents a flexible, adaptable framework for understanding pain across diverse healthcare contexts and cultural backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973524","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}

While animation has long been employed in medicine for surgical demonstrations and public health education, its potential for medical narratives remains largely underexplored in the medical literature. This paper examines the role of animated documentary films in enriching spectatorship and fostering empathy within the realm of medicine and medical education. Through case studies of three short animated documentaries-\"An Eyeful of Sound,\" \"A is for Autism,\" and \"Thembi's Diary\"-we analyze how animation visualizes subjective experiences that are otherwise difficult to convey through traditional film. These works demonstrate how animation can abstract scientific complexity, protect patient identity to a certain degree, and cultivate audience engagement. By enabling viewers to imagine perspectives beyond their own, animated documentaries enhance narrative empathy, a crucial component for patient-centered medical care. We highlight the potential for animated documentaries to serve as powerful tools for both medical training and public health communication. Lastly, we propose that integrating animation into medical storytelling can transform how medical narratives are perceived and understood, bridging clinical objectivity with lived experiences of real patients.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973538","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}

This theory has gained traction among white nationalist movements across Europe and America and has been referenced by several far-right terrorists in the last decade, but in recent years, elements of the theory have entered the right-wing and center-right mainstream media. My article excavates the intersections between the Great Replacement Theory and genres of masculinist self-help that have grown popular across male-dominated digital communities (also known as \"the manosphere\") through influencers such as Jordan Peterson, Stefan Molyneux, and Marcus Follin, who hold diverse positions along the right-wing political spectrum. Using these as case studies, I trace the connections between demographic anxieties around migration and cultural anxieties around Western women's fertility, and I argue that reproduction serves as the greatest limit case to the manosphere's self-help genre. Women's increasing control over reproduction challenges these influencers' investment in self-help and control over their actualization of the masculine gender ideal, which in turn generates high levels of reproductive anxiety and leads to subsuming reproduction under the umbrella of men's concerns. Overlaps between ideas of racial replacement and projects that seek to conserve manhood, sperm count, and testosterone, such as no-fap, no-porn, body building, and nutritional supplements, likewise serve to repackage white nationalism itself as a genre of masculine self-help and self-betterment.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875837","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}

In line with this call, we suggest a medical humanities approach that further breaks down the distinction between basic and applied research. We conceptualize this approach as engaged medical humanities, as it both contributes to ongoing theoretical discussions and engages in empirical settings. Based on our ten-year practice of conducting medical humanities research at the Copenhagen Centre for Health Research in the Humanities (CoRe), and by zooming in on two collaborative research projects, we discuss how we realize and navigate these diverse engagements. On this basis, we offer a framework for conducting engaged medical humanities research to encourage and inspire future projects. First, we discuss how we take our main inspirations from the critical medical humanities and engaged research. Second, we identify several challenges that arise when our research approach is put into practice. We focus on our collaborations with stakeholders outside of academia, discussing how we navigate collaborative complexities while emphasizing the importance of empirical sensitivity and fluid accountabilities in studying health issues. Third, we discuss our knowledge production, encompassing various formats spanning both theoretical and conceptual contributions within academia, as well as practical interventions and instrumentation aimed at societal needs. Finally, we offer reflections on the potential we see in our framework and discuss the conditions for further developing the engaged medical humanities in a Scandinavian context.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144856656","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}

However, the mechanisms underlying such effects are poorly understood. To gain insights that would be useful to the arts-in-health field, the current paper applied collaborative autoethnography to the questions, \"How do artists manage their creative process? How might this process be helpful for adolescents with depression?\" In an unstructured exchange that took place over 5 years, the two authors (a poet/teaching artist and a child and adolescent psychiatrist/researcher) explored the intersection of the artist's strategies for creative practice and mental health. Personal narratives, analytic memos, and detailed conversations exchanged through emails were collected and reviewed through the reflexive lens of collaborative autoethnography, by exploring the artist author's personal experiences from her creative practice, and the child psychiatrist author's reflexive responses, drawing on her patient care experience. Through the conversations, both authors became aware of the connection between the goal of the artist (to create art) and the goal of the physician (to aid in healing). The authors extracted six strategies and developed a concept framework, \"artist mindset,\" which also had significant potential relevance to adolescents who are navigating depression. The artist mindset, a set of strategies that can promote creative practice but also holds promise in application to navigating depression, offers a helpful framework and a unique approach to treatment.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144761746","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}
