The international conference “What Can BodyCultures Do? Ontological Pluralism in Medicine and the Humanities” at the University of Mons invites participants to rethink the body. It asks what happens if we move beyond traditional dichotomies (body/mind, nature/culture, biological/social) to embrace the body as a relational entity—shaped by biological, social, environmental, and existential assemblages. This event brings together scholars, practitioners, and thinkers to explore how the medical humanities can actively shape the phenomena they study.
The conference will take place from June 17 to 19, and online participation is available on request. More information is available on the UMons website.
