“…Here we propose to overcome this barrier through art, meditation and conversation. We know that the "ways of knowing of the humanities and the arts [...] help us appreciate paradox, tolerate uncertainty, and keep many contradictory interpretations of stories in mind at the same time" 13 (p. 407). Therefore, photography and the conversations generated allowed us to pass through this barrier before even being perceived.…”

“…Their objective is not the result, but doing it, to explore the experience of presence through gazing, keeping an eye in the present, in order to record what is seen, free of expectations. Throughout the LabOlhar course, mindfulness exercises were also presented to enrich the meditative experience, connect us with the moment and with the attitude of being open to experiences 2 (p. 13).…”

This study presents a cartography of the events experienced in a course during the pandemic, with health students and professionals, adapted for distance learning, using fundamentally the concepts of presence and experience. Involving creativity and meditation and using contemplative photography as a methodology, the activity aimed at presenting the potential of contemplative practices and the Narrative Circle in creating a space for welcoming and expanding perception, allowing the partakers to approach humanization in a experimental way. Through the participants’ narratives, using images and words, we could witness the impacts and sufferings they experienced, as well as the perception of the potentialities of the gaps, in other words, the openings. Created or discovered, such gaps generated collective experiences of acceptance and affection, triggered by images, transforming the events into questions and creating meanings in such challenging days.

“…Aqui, propusemos ultrapassar essa barreira por meio da arte, da meditação e da conversa. Sabemos que as "maneiras de conhecer das humanidades e das artes [...] nos ajudam a apreciar o paradoxo, tolerar a incerteza e manter muitas interpretações contraditórias das histórias em mente ao mesmo tempo" 13 (p. 407, tradução nossa). Assim a fotografia e as conversas geradas nos permitiram fazer passagens nessa barreira antes sequer percebida.…”

Resumo O artigo apresenta uma cartografia dos acontecimentos vivenciados em um curso durante a pandemia com estudantes e profissionais da área da Saúde, adaptado para o ensino a distância e tomando fundamentalmente os conceitos de presença e experiência. Envolvendo criatividade e meditação e tendo como metodologia a fotografia contemplativa, a atividade objetivou apresentar a potência das práticas contemplativas e do Círculo Narrativo na criação de um espaço de acolhimento e de ampliação da percepção, permitindo que o tema da humanização seja abordado experiencialmente. Por meio das narrativas dos participantes e por meio de imagens e palavras, apresentam-se os impactos e sofrimentos vividos, bem como a percepção das potencialidades das frestas, ou seja, das aberturas. Tais frestas, criadas ou descobertas, geraram experiências coletivas de acolhimento e afetos disparados pela imagem, permitindo que os acontecimentos se tornassem interpelativos e criassem sentidos em dias tão difíceis.

“…A related and equally heterogenous term is 'narrative medicine', which was formed by a group of scholars and clinicians at Columbia University, New York, in the beginning of the 2000s (Charon, 2017), and defined by one of the founders as a subdiscipline of medical humanities (Charon, Ship, & Asch, 2020). Often, narrative medicine refers to a more specific focus on stories and narratives from both patients and physicians, and how these stories are central to the understanding of illness and suffering (Charon, 2001b).…”

Cold Heart, Warm Heart : On fiction, interaction, and emotion in medical education

EnglishFiction is used for educational purposes in various fields such as engineering, law and higher education. In medical education, the theories of medical humanities and narrative medicine propose that engaging with fictional works can provide opportunities for medical students and physicians to develop central professional skills such as emotional awareness and empathy, which can help mitigate the documented empathy decline which occurs during medical training. Despite extensive research about fiction inclusion in medical education, there is very limited research on the in-situ processes of fiction use, and how emotional aspects of the medical profession can be conceptualised in fiction discussions. This thesis investigates the intersection of fiction, interaction and emotion in medical education. The purpose of the study is to contribute knowledge on the ways emotion can be constructed in medical education as affective stances and as professional emotions that medical students need to learn how to manage. Discursive psychology (DP) forms the theoretical and methodological framework to analyse 58 hours of video-and audio-recorded fiction seminars from two Swedish medical schools. Emotion from a DP perspective is understood not as a reflection of an inner experience, but as an interactionally achieved phenomenon, deployed in the formation of social action. Results show that reflection and reflective practices are imbedded in fiction seminars, and that affective stances are constructed as a student resource to manage intensity, control, assessment and accountability. Furthermore, the professional emotions of physicians are constructed as emotional labour which students need to prepare for, and the feeling rules of the medical profession are constructed as calibrations of emotions which are both fluid and changeable. The task of learning professional emotion is oriented to as troublesome by students as it might interfere with their focus on managing student identities.
