This study examines the representation of illness, disability, and cultural pathologies in modern Iberian and Latin American literature. Investigating how writers reflect on the personal, social, and cultural effects of illness, it raises central questions about how medical discourses, cultural pathologies, and the art of healing in general are represented. Addressing subjects including bioethics, neuroscience, psychosurgery, medical technologies, Darwinian evolution, indigenous herbal medicine, the pathography, and the ''illness as metaphor'' trope, this collection engages with cultural studies, gender studies, disability studies, comparative literature, and the medical humanities.
