This is the second major event in a project that brings together Peking University (PKU) and 香港六合彩中特网 researchers working in the Medical Humanities.

Together we are building a new cross-cultural research platform to explore the potential for digital solutions to some of the most challenging health issues facing us all in the twenty-first century.

Over the course of this 3-day workshop event, medical historians, anthropologists and global health specialists, in dialogue with film, social media and digital humanities experts, will showcase histories and cultures of Self-Reflection, Auto-Practices and Practices of the Imagination in the promotion of longevity and/or well-being. Using historical and culturally adaptive approaches, we will consider the advantages and disadvantages of new visual and digital technologies in therapy and in the delivery of high priority health messages to different communities around the world.

Tuesday, 7-9.30, Fim screening

• , dir. Yang Lina 杨荔纳 2013

Yang Lina's film raises many health issues related to the development of the urban middle class and contemporary attitudes towards health. It will facilitate a discussion about the unique historical orientation to Self-Care in China - beliefs about female sexuality, different cultural taboos around the public discussion of female and male sexual health, Chinese cultural understandings of emotional-mental health issues, self-medication through foods and substances on the food-medicine boundary. The film also allows us to see how readily China has absorbed Self-Care techniques from cultures it has come into contact with. A key focus will be plural healthcare: the importance of family and friends, and the 21st century re-emergence of religious institutions in making healthcare decisions. What challenges and opportunities does this legacy afford for contemporary healthcare?

DAY 3: WEDNESDAY 9 NOVEMBER 2016, 10am-

Self-Care and the Use of Moving Image Materials in Cross-Cultural Comparison

The model of screening feature films (and sometimes documentaries) to generate discussion is well established in Health and Medical Humanities education. However, it is increasingly clear that this model does not exhaust the potential of the moving image. Future models might include making work with health professionals and patients as well as with students, and could involve a range of materials from feature films to short online videos (微电影) and mobile phone apps.

What new questions are generated by this wider perspective, and what existing research literatures and traditions might be drawn upon to investigate further? This day will explore interactive contemporary solutions to the use of film, narrative medicine and social media.

Session 5, Wednesday 11-11.30am: Self-Care and the Use of Moving Image Materials in Cross-Cultural Comparison

How do social media impact on Self-Care? What communities exist and how do they interrelate? During the day, Dan will lead three 90-minute break-out groups to work on how the ideas of historians, anthropologists and global health specialists working on Self-Care translate into interrelated website and software applications.

Session 6, Wednesday 11.30am-12.30pm: The Classroom

Fictional and documentary narratives have been used in Medical Humanities education for many years as a means of developing empathy.? How have films helped medical students and professionals to understand the experience of illness, and how it varies according to cultural and class differences? What kinds of materials work best - short documentaries, clips from longer films, entire feature films, etc.? What might the new media bring to our table?

• Film, Social Media and Empathy in Teaching Practice Guo Liping 郭莉萍, Institute of Medical Humanities, PKU

Session 7, Wednesday 12.30-1.30pm: Working with Patients: Diaries, film and social media

This session will further develop our theme of cross-cultural narratives of health, and consider how social media have changed and will change programmes of Self-Care. Can social media apps help patients to understand more about their condition and how to look after themselves? How can moving image materials be best applied: are video diaries and the self-reflection they promote of therapeutic benefit to patients dealing with long-term or chronic conditions, and particularly in the preparation for a 'Good Death'? Can programmes of film screenings help to engage patients in the process of improving their own health and stimulate discussion?

Session 9, Wednesday 3-4pm: Motivating 'the Public': Who, on whose authority, and how?

This session will use historical and contemporary public health films to consider what has worked best in the past to serve the needs of Self-Care in complex communities. We will screen public health shorts from China and the UK that have addressed high-priority public health messages. What are the dynamics, for example, between state, WHO, community and individuals, and how do social media impact on them? Who authorises what is appropriate, and what are the practical implications of this? We will explore interactive contemporary solutions to the use of film in some of the most pressing health concerns in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Given the expertise of our speakers, and 香港六合彩中特网's work on Diabetes in China, the focus of this session will be on therapeutic movement and diet, and what it takes to make different communities move and eat well.
