Subject: Advanced Technologies, Methods and Materials for Human Health and Well-Being: A Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Perspective


"mediAzioni" is an international open-access, refereed journal that
promotes interdisciplinary work in the humanities
(https://mediazioni.unibo.it/).
A special issue of "mediAzioni", titled "Advanced Technologies,
Methods and Materials for Human Health and Well-Being: A Transcultural
and Interdisciplinary Perspective," is scheduled for November 2025 and
will be edited by: Sabrina Ardizzoni, Marta Aurora, Claudia Buffagni,
Anna Di Toro, Imsuk Jung, Andrea Scibetta (University for Foreigners
of Siena, Italy). The group, currently working in the Tuscany Health
Ecosystem (THE) Project - Spoke 3, titled "Advanced Technologies,
Methods and Materials for Human Health and Well-Being," has been
engaged since 2022 in subprojects 3 and 4.
The volume will gather research contributions related to:
•       Identification of best practices and challenges in linguistic
and cultural mediation in healthcare settings, with conversational
analysis of mediated doctor-patient interaction, both on-site and
remote, as well as quantitative and qualitative analysis of foreign
patients' attitudes toward the public healthcare system, including
telemedicine.
•       Data collection and reflections on narrative medicine as a
methodology for improving relationships among doctors, patients, and
caregivers and for tailoring medical treatments to the specific
illness experience of every patient.
•       Analysis of corpora of audiovisual materials related to
specialist-patient interactions and patient narratives to deepen
understanding of interactional dynamics in the medical field and
gather data on patients' self-perceptions in different linguistic and
cultural contexts.
•       Data collection on robots and new technologies in caregiving,
particularly regarding healthcare systems in East Asian countries
where such tools are already widespread.
•       Miscellaneous section on medical anthropology topics, medical
translation issues, and related fields and themes.
Proposals must be written in English and can focus on healthcare in
Tuscany or any other geographical area, involving the following
disciplines: linguistics, translation studies, semiotics,
anthropology, and sociology, with a strong interdisciplinary
character.
Please send a title and a brief abstract in English (300-500 words)
with 5 keywords as a manifestation of interest, along with a short
reference bibliography (max 10 entries), no later than November 22nd,
2024, providing your full name(s), affiliation, and email address for
inclusion in the publication.
Abstract acceptance will be communicated by December 10th, 2024.
Following abstract acceptance, articles must be submitted to the
address giornatastudispoke3 at unistrasi.it by May 4th, 2025 and should
be approximately 5000-8000 words (including bibliography, not
including abstract).
Publication will be confirmed only after the double-blind peer-review
process.
