{"product_id":"metagnosis","title":"Metagnosis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces and theorizes metagnosis, a previously underexplored phenomenon describing the experience of discovering, in adulthood, a long-standing condition or identity-altering truth that had gone unrecognized or was previously unclassifiable. Blending memoir with narratology, philosophy, the history of medicine, and disability studies, Danielle Spencer examines how such revelations—ranging from late diagnoses (such as ADHD or colorblindness) to unexpected genetic findings—profoundly disrupt personal narratives and concepts of selfhood. Using narrative medicine as a rigorous interdisciplinary methodology, the book investigates how these moments of recognition unsettle conventional stories of identity, illness, and knowledge in an era of rapidly expanding biomedical and genomic insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces and defines metagnosis as a distinct experiential and narrative phenomenon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates memoir, narrative medicine, philosophy, disability studies, and medical history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores how late or shifting diagnoses disrupt identity, memory, and self-understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the metagnostic narrative arc: recognition, subversion, and renegotiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on diverse examples, from mid-life medical diagnoses to cultural texts such as Blade Runner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines challenges of communicability, narrative intelligibility, and perception after revelation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSituates metagnosis within broader debates on genetics, identity, and biomedical knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProposes narrative medicine as a robust research methodology, not merely a clinical tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers insight relevant to patients, clinicians, scholars, and anyone navigating evolving concepts of health and identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServes as a forward-looking framework for understanding how society may adapt to future diagnostic and genomic discoveries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dr.Ralf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49049970213038,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/8179\/8062\/files\/content_98df73a0-f514-4be1-9dc3-506612ec45bc.jpg?v=1788053213","url":"https:\/\/ebooksmedical.com\/products\/metagnosis","provider":"Ebooks Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
