VIDAL, Fernando. Jean Starobinski and the “psychosomatic knot”. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2021, vol.41, n.140, pp.131-150.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352021000200007.

Based on an examination of the writings of the Genevan critic Jean Starobinski (1920-2019) on the history of medicine and bodily experience, this article pursues two objectives. First, it outlines how his distinctive way of articulating historical and phenomenological perspectives implies an essentially ethical understanding of medicine and medical practice. Second, it relates Starobinski's writings to research of recent decades on the history and anthropology of emotions and interoception; this provides an occasion to explore the scope and limits of these fields of inquiry.

Palabras clave : history; historiography and philosophy of medicine; history of the emotions; history and anthropology of the body; affective turn; interoceptive turn.
