Marek Textual Lives and Living Skills: Doctors and Their Texts in the Practice of Tibetan Medicine 2023 .txt text/plain 349 15 44 I show that textual practice is a specific type of embodied skill and offer an alternative view of the relationship between this skill and other embodied skills to more common views.
