Abstract

This PhD dissertation analyses and explains various narratives that exist on the modern concept of a Traditional Chinese Medicine. Thereafter it is shown how the globally known TCM is rather a new invention and a new corpus of contents which serve as means to certain political, economic, and cultural goals. The book thereby also uncovers how Chinese medicine as a cultural object functions as an element to constitute and re-invent Chinese culture as a whole.
