Religion, Agency, Restitution
ISBN: 9780199246755 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Professor Littlewood marshals arguments in an attempt to help the reader understand more clearly how humans interactively use religion and science/healing to come to terms with the world around them. He draws in part on his clinical work as a psychiatrist with patients from religious movements in the West, but primarily on his earlier anthropological fieldwork with a new African-Caribbean religion in Trinidad, and more recently with ethical transformations in the older Caribbean cults and among the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Hasidim. There exists a close relationship between the explanations of...

On Knowing and Not Knowing in the Anthropology of Medicine
ISBN: 9781598742749 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social scientific studies of medicine typically assume that systems of medical knowledge are uniform and consistent. But while anthropologists have long rejected the notion that cultures are discrete, bounded, and rule-drive entities, medical anthropology has been slower to develop alternative approaches to understanding cultures of health. This provocative volume considers the theoretical, methodological, and ethnographic implications of the fact that medical knowledge is frequently dynamic, incoherent, and contradictory, and that and our understanding of it is necessarily incomplete and...

Pathologies of the West: An Anthropology of Mental Illness in Europe and America
ISBN: 9780801487439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Psychiatry conventionally regards spirit possession and dramatic healing rituals in non-European societies as forms of abnormality if not mental illness. Roland Littlewood, a psychiatrist and social anthropologist, argues that it is necessary to take into account both social process and personal cultural meaning when explaining psychiatric illness and "deviant" behavior. Littlewood brings anthropological and psychiatric literature to bear on case studies of self-poisoning, agoraphobia, hysteria, chronic fatigue syndrome, post-traumatic stress, male sexual violence, and eating disorders. He...

ISBN: 9781785331770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The social anthropology of sickness and health has always been concerned with religious cosmologies: how societies make sense of such issues as prediction and control of misfortune and fate; the malevolence of others; the benevolence (or otherwise) of the mystical world; local understanding and explanations of the natural and ultra-human worlds. This volume presents differing categorizations and conflicts that occur as people seek to make sense of suffering and their experiences. Cosmologies, whether incorporating the divine or as purely secular, lead us to interpret human action and the...
