Mobilizing Motifs: An Installation Articulating and Visualizing Relationships between the U.S. Healthcare System, the Chronically Ill Patient, and the Healthcare Chaplain

Abstract Details

2021, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Religious Studies.
This thesis seeks to bring together three separate, yet ever-communicating entities -- the healthcare (HC) patient, the healthcare system (HCS), and the HC chaplain. Utilizing wisdom from feminist, postcolonial, and affect theorists, this thesis seeks to conceptualize and visualize this triad dynamic. The format is non-traditional in that concepts are expressed and developed through both an art installation and in written form. Largely diagnostic, this work highlights what it is like to be “other” concerning something as personal as bodily illness, how the HCS and its’ relationship to capitalist society contributes to the “othering” of chronically ill patients, and how the HC chaplain may also be an “other” who can potentially mediate the relationship between the HCS and the patient.
