This volume interrogates the foundational categories that have come to define medical science in modern South Asia. Through case studies ranging from nineteenth- to twenty first-centuries, it addresses the following questions: How and in what conditions does an event, a substance, an actor, an institution or a particular situation of the body-mind become or cease to be considered 'medical' and according to whom? How did contingent political histories engender the medical? How does the medical, in turn, reshape and sustain political categories? Is the medical necessarily a stable, coherent and continuous category? In what ways are the rigid boundaries between the medical and the nonmedical blurred? In so doing, Locating the Medical examines close interactions between political authorities, corporeal knowledge and objects of governance.
