OverviewBringing together scholars from film and television studies, media and cultural studies, literary studies, medical humanities, and disability studies, Discourses of Care collectively examines how the analysis of media texts and practices can contribute to scholarship on and understandings of health and social care, and how existing research focusing on the ethics of care can inform our understanding of media. Featuring a critical introductory essay and 13 specially commissioned original chapters, this is the first edited collection to address the relationship between media and the concept and practice of care and caregiving. Contributors consider the representation of care and caregiving through a range of forms and practices – the television documentary, photography, film, non-theatrical cinema, tabloid media, autobiography, and public service broadcasting - and engage with the labour, as well as the practical and ethical dimensions of media production. Together, they offer an original and wide ranging exploration of the various ways in which media forms represent, articulate and operate within caring relationships and practices of care; whether this is between individuals, communities as well as audiences and institutions.

Essays on documentary, education films, photography, life writing, new media and news media detail the representation, circulation, production and reception of care, revealing productive affinities between care theory and media studies. This compelling foray into the entanglement of media and care is an important contribution to care studies and the medical humanities more broadly. * Amelia DeFalco, Associate Professor of Medical Humanities, University of Leeds, UK * Author InformationAmy Holdsworth is a senior lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow, UK.
