Download or read book La médecine populaire à la Guadeloupe written by Christiane Bougerol and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1983-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À la Guadeloupe, la médecine populaire est une réalité bien vivante : médecine à base de plantes, mais aussi médecine des "quimboiseurs". Ses origines sont à chercher tant du côté des Indiens caraïbes, que des premiers esclaves venus d'Afrique noire. Des représentations raciales du corps apparaissent au cœur de cette médecine populaire, qui s'est transmise dans le cadre historique de l'esclavage et de la colonisation, avec l'introduction d'une concurrence : celle du "chirurgien" blanc, venu de France, et celle du guérisseur africain. L'ouvrage de Christiane Bougerol – ethnologue et chercheur au CNRS – allie à la fois la démarche historique, et l'enquête ethnologique. En complément, un répertoire des principales plantes médicinales et de leurs préparations, intéressera tant les botanistes, que les partisans de la "médecine par les plantes".

Book Synopsis Biotechnology and Culture by : Paul E. Brodwin
Download or read book Biotechnology and Culture written by Paul E. Brodwin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-22 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on technology’s effect on our relationship with our bodies: “A timely and perceptive look . . . at some of the most anxiety producing issues of the day.” —Paul Rabinow, University of California, Berkeley As birth, illness, and death increasingly come under technological control, struggles arise over who should control the body and define its limits and capacities. Biotechnologies turn the traditional “facts of life” into matters of expert judgment and partisan debate. They blur the boundary separating people from machines, male from female, and nature from culture. In these diverse ways, they destroy the “gold standard” of the body, formerly taken for granted. Biotechnologies become a convenient, tangible focus for political contests over the nuclear family, legal and professional authority, and relations between the sexes. Medical interventions also transform intimate personal experience: giving birth, building new families, and surviving serious illness now immerse us in a web of machines, expert authority, and electronic images. We use and imagine the body in radically different ways, and from these emerge new collective discourses of morality and personal identity. This book brings together historians, anthropologists, cultural critics, and feminists to examine the broad cultural effects of technologies such as surrogacy, tissue-culture research, and medical imaging. The moral anxieties raised by biotechnologies and their circulation across class and national boundaries provide other interdisciplinary themes for discourse in these essays. The authors favor complex social dramas of the refusal, celebration, or ambivalent acceptance of new medical procedures. Eschewing polemics or pure theory, contributors show how biotechnology collides with everyday life and reshapes the political and personal meanings of the body. Contributors include Paul Brodwin, Lisa Cartwright, Thomas Csordas, Gillian Goslinga-Roy, Deborah Grayson, Donald Joralemon, Hannah Landecker, Thomas Laqueur, Robert Nelson, Susan Squier, Janelle Taylor, and Alice Wexler. “This impressive collection offers a number of rich examples of why the development of anthropological studies of science, technology, and their disruptive social effects is a leading edge of critical enquiry.” —Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University

Book Synopsis Sherds of History by : Myriam Arcangeli
Download or read book Sherds of History written by Myriam Arcangeli and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceramics serve as one of the best-known artifacts excavated by archaeologists. They are carefully described, classified, and dated, but rarely do scholars consider their many and varied uses. Breaking from this convention, Myriam Arcangeli examines potsherds from four colonial sites in the Antillean island of Guadeloupe to discover what these everyday items tell us about the people who used them. In the process, she reveals a wealth of information about the lives of the elite planters, the middle and lower classes, and enslaved Africans. By analyzing how the people of Guadeloupe used ceramics—whether jugs for transporting and purifying water, pots for cooking, or pearlware for eating—Arcangeli spotlights the larger social history of Creole life. What emerges is a detail rich picture of water consumption habits, changing foodways, and concepts of health. Sherds of History offers a compelling and novel study of the material record and the “ceramic culture” it represents to broaden our understanding of race, class, and gender in French-colonial societies in the Caribbean and the United States. Arcangeli’s innovative interpretation of the material record will challenge the ways archaeologists analyze ceramics.
Book Synopsis Empires of Knowledge by : Paula Findlen
Download or read book Empires of Knowledge written by Paula Findlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empires of Knowledge charts the emergence of different kinds of scientific networks – local and long-distance, informal and institutional, religious and secular – as one of the important phenomena of the early modern world. It seeks to answer questions about what role these networks played in making knowledge, how information traveled, how it was transformed by travel, and who the brokers of this world were. Bringing together an international group of historians of science and medicine, this book looks at the changing relationship between knowledge and community in the early modern period through case studies connecting Europe, Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Americas. It explores a landscape of understanding (and misunderstanding) nature through examinations of well-known intelligencers such as overseas missions, trading companies, and empires while incorporating more recent scholarship on the many less prominent go-betweens, such as translators and local experts, which made these networks of knowledge vibrant and truly global institutions. Empires of Knowledge is the perfect introduction to the global history of early modern science and medicine.

Book Synopsis Medicine and Public Health in Latin America by : Marcos Cueto
Download or read book Medicine and Public Health in Latin America written by Marcos Cueto and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite several studies on the social, cultural, and political histories of medicine and of public health in different parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, local and national focuses still predominate, and there are few panoramic studies that analyze the overarching tendencies in the development of health in the region. This comprehensive book summarizes the social history of medicine, medical education, and public health in Latin America and places it in dialogue with the international historiographical currents in medicine and health. Ultimately, this text provides a clear, broad, and provocative synthesis of the history of Latin American medical developments while illuminating the recent challenges of global health in the region and other developing countries.

Book excerpt: Creolization of Language and Culture is the first English edition of Robert Chaudenson's landmark text Des îles, des hommes, des langues, which has also been fully revised. .

This is an accessible book which makes an important contribution to the study of pidgin and creole language varieties, as well as to the development of contemporary European languages outside Europe. Key features include: Analysis of current debates on the development of creoles Discussion of many aspects of human culture including music, medicine, cooking, magic and folklore Translation of all French sources from which Chaudenson quotes extensively

Book Synopsis Medicine and Morality in Haiti by : Paul Brodwin
Download or read book Medicine and Morality in Haiti written by Paul Brodwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morality and medicine are inextricably intertwined in rural Haiti, and both are shaped by the different local religious traditions, Christian and Vodoun, as well as by biomedical and folk medical practices. When people fall ill, they seek treatment not only from Western doctors but also from herbalists, religious healers and midwives. Dr Brodwin examines the situational logic, the pragmatic decisions, that guide people in making choices when they are faced with illness. He also explains the moral issues that arise in a society where suffering is associated with guilt, but where different, sometimes conflicting, ethical systems coexist. Moreover, he shows how in the crisis of illness people rework religious identities and are forced to address fundamental social and political problems.
Download or read book Contact Languages written by Peter Bakker and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with several types of contact languages: pidgins, creoles, mixed languages, and multi-ethnolects. It also approaches contact languages from two perspectives: an historical linguistic perspective, more specifically from a viewpoint of genealogical linguistics, language descent and linguistic family tree models; and a sociolinguistic perspective, identifying specific social contexts in which contact languages emerge.
