On Medicine<\/em> explores the complex and vibrant relationship between medicine and performance. As a specific branch of science, medicine is sometimes overlooked in wider discussions about the interface between art and science, and so this issue seeks to re-dress this balance through examining the connections, dialogues and dissonances between medicine and performance. Via a necessarily interdisciplinary approach, the issue interrogates various modes of performance that engage with the histories, practices and discourse of medicine. In reflecting on medical contexts and approaches, it addresses the potential of performance and its modes of analysis to intervene in and extend vital debates around medical knowledge and practice, to enhance its understanding, and to offer a site of resistance and challenge to its influence and dominance. With contributions from artists, medical practitioners, patients and scholars, On Medicine considers the performance of medicine and medical performance across a diverse range of examples and histories.<\/p>\n
