Dr.
Clio Nicastro has co-edited the new book
Violence, Care, Cure: Self/perceptions within the Medical Encounter (Routledge, 2025) with Dr. Marta-Laura Cenedese. The book explores the notions of violence, care, and cure within medical encounters, foregrounding how each—individually or in combination—is susceptible to ambiguous and contested interpretations. The chapters investigate the complex entanglement of these terms by offering historical, philosophical, practical, personal, and aesthetic analyses of diverse medical scenes, practices, and objects. The volume is the outcome of the conference
Violence, Care, Cure, hosted by ICI Berlin in 2022.
