Film & Talk format as part of the seminar "Medicine and Film"
"Medicine and Film" continues the discussion on productive interdisciplinary collaboration between medicine and the humanities that began in the 2025 summer semester in the lecture series "Medical Humanities: The Treatment of Illness in the Humanities". In the winter semester 2025/26, the focus will be on the representation of medicine and medical topics in film. Primarily, various dimensions on screen such as science and ethics, medical representations of healing practices and diseases, power relations between doctors, nurses and patients, and cultural notions of healthy/sick bodies will be foregrounded. From the perspective of cultural studies and medical humanities, the topic will therefore be examined through the relations of the body – from care, flesh, skin, cells and mind to the deep psyche. The FILM & TALK format frames the film screening with a guest lecture by an academic and an open discussion led by FHW students.
