Introduction

[Susan Eggly]

Marta,
I saw your message to the list, and, although I have never posted, it sounds like the work I am doing is similar to yours.  I am looking at the co-construction of the patient's narrative by the doctor and patient in the medical interview.  I have always wondered about the cross-cultural comparison of the medical interview--maybe in terms of patient narratives??

Dear list members,

I am Marta Crivos, anthropologist graduated and working at the Facultad de
Ciencias Naturales y Museo de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata,
Argentina. I am Professor of Theoretical Anthropology and researcher in the
field of Ethnography in a natural-science academic environment. At present
I am finishing my doctoral thesis in which I explore the heuristics of the
narrative on illness episodes as a source of hypothesis about medical
phenomena at ethnographic scale. I celebrate the list as a
multidisciplinary forum for the consideration of discourse in all its
dimensions and I haven't any doubt that being a member of it will be very
important for my work. 

Best regards,
