Book Synopsis Mental Healthcare in Brazilian Spiritism: The Aesthetics of Healing by : Helmar Kurz
Download or read book Mental Healthcare in Brazilian Spiritism: The Aesthetics of Healing written by Helmar Kurz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the diversification of mental healthcare provision and patients’ health-seeking behavior by putting Brazilian Spiritism and its translocal relations at the center of its inquiry. Comparative chapters document and critically assess the affective arrangements of Spiritist spaces in Brazil and Germany and how practices contribute to healing and the diversification of a globally circulating mental health agenda. The book addresses the human experience within Spiritist psychiatric clinics and affiliated Spiritist centers in Brazil, which in migratory contexts also have connections to Germany. Chapters interrogate the spaces where people inside and outside Brazil engage in implementing Spiritist practices in mental healthcare, introducing the Aesthetics of Healing as a conceptual tool to understand interactions between religion and medicine more broadly. Establishing a novel analytical and interdisciplinary perspective on embodied aspects of sensory experience and perception, this compelling volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students involved with mental health research, medical anthropology, Spiritualism, and cross-cultural psychology. Practitioners in the fields of transcultural psychiatry and the sociology of religion will also find the volume of use.

Download or read book Being a Parent in the Field written by Fabienne Braukmann and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does being a parent in the field influence a researcher's positionality and the production of ethnographic knowledge? Based on regionally and thematically diverse cases, this collection explores methodological, theoretical, and ethical dimensions of accompanied fieldwork.

Female and male authors from various career stages exemplify different research conditions, financial constraints, and family-career challenges which are decisive for academic success.
Book Synopsis Media, Indigeneity and Nation in South Asia by : Markus Schleiter
Download or read book Media, Indigeneity and Nation in South Asia written by Markus Schleiter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do videos, movies and documentaries dedicated to indigenous communities transform the media landscape of South Asia? Based on extensive original research, this book examines how in South Asia popular music videos, activist political clips, movies and documentaries about, by and for indigenous communities take on radically new significances. Media, Indigeneity and Nation in South Asia shows how in the portrayal of indigenous groups by both ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ imaginations of indigeneity and nation become increasingly interlinked. Indigenous groups, typically marginal to the nation, are at the same time part of mainstream polities and cultures. Drawing on perspectives from media studies and visual anthropology, this book compares and contrasts the situation in South Asia with indigeneity globally.

Book Synopsis The Multi-Sided Ethnographer by : Tim Burger
Download or read book The Multi-Sided Ethnographer written by Tim Burger and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As ethnographic fieldwork blurs the boundaries between ›private‹ and ›professional‹ life, ethnographers always appear to be on duty, looking out for valuable encounters and waiting for the next moment of disclosure. Yet what lies in the gaps and pauses of fieldwork? The contributions in this volume dedicated to anthropologist Martin Sökefeld explore methodological and ethical dimensions of multi-sided ethnographic research. Based on diverse cases ranging from hobbies over kinship ties to political activism, the contributors show how personal relationships, passions and commitments drive ethnographers in and beyond research, shaping the knowledge they create together with others.

Book excerpt: "A decade after James Horrox's pioneering work A Living Revolution: Anarchism in the Kibbutz Movement, Merlin Becskey presents an engaging and well-written case study of a kibbutz trying to realise anarchist principles. Based on field research and interviews at kibbutz Samar, located in Israel's far south, Becskey provides valuable insight into an unlikely project under unlikely circumstances." — Gabriel Kuhn, editor and translator of All Power to the Councils! A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918–1919, Liberating Society from the State and Other Writings by Erich Mühsam, and Revolution and Other Writings by Gustav Landauer "In Samar, communal organisation and individual desire form a tense bond, worked out every day. It may be the last refuge of the free spirit that animated the earliest Kibbutz groups, where everything depends on people." — Uri Gordon, author of Anarchy Alive! and Anarchy, State and Revolution
Book Synopsis Sustainable Development and Communication in Global Food Networks by : Maria Touri
Download or read book Sustainable Development and Communication in Global Food Networks written by Maria Touri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel approach to sustainable development through the theory and practice of communication in global food networks, focusing specifically on organic food and fair trade movements. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it brings together the fields of Communication for Development and Social Change, Agri-Food Studies and Economic Geography. This is supported with a participatory method that unveils voices from Indian farming communities, small European businesses and UK-based consumers. The book exemplifies the integral role of communication in sustainable development through direct and mediated communication processes that bring these actors together in the global food market. Such processes include trade relations, self-representation, and information and knowledge exchange through the spaces of the internet. Through these processes the book uncovers the instrumental role of communication in building a more holistic understanding of sustainable development. It also advocates that sustainable solutions require smaller, self-sustained projects and initiatives that pay closer attention to the voices and localized experiences of the people on the ground.
Book Synopsis Cultural Histories of India by : Rita Banerjee
Download or read book Cultural Histories of India written by Rita Banerjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social and cultural histories of India, focusing on cultural encounters and representations of subaltern communities from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century. Examining cultural encounters between Europeans and Indians during the precolonial and colonial periods, the book analyzes European, especially English, efforts to exoticize or investigate the social practices of the Other. It also presents the culturally conditioned Indian subject's perspective on Europe and the imperial society. The book engages with narratives of suppressed movements of tribals and dalits, of erosion of the culture and history of ancient communities, and recovers the local narratives of marginalized groups in Andaman and Malabar, which get superseded by the larger narrative of nation-building. Often relying on oral history instead of printed material and sociological fieldwork, the alternate histories are presented through unconventional, literary or semi-literary genres like travel narratives, fiction, films, and songs, thus presenting an alternative interpretation to the central narrative of the progress of mainstream India. Representing cultural history and the view from below, the book shifts its focus from the conventional historiography associated with political history and will be of interest to academics working in the field of cultural studies, the historiography of India, South Asian Studies and an interdisciplinary audience in history, sociology, literature, media, and English studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Als Prozess und Medium gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe ist Geld vielerorts mit Wandel, Macht und Transformation verbunden. Der Gebrauch und die Zirkulation von Geld spiegeln indes auch tiefgreifende Aspekte von Tradition und fortlaufende Prozesse gesellschaftlicher Reproduktion wider. Der Band beschreibt Geschichte, Gegenwart und Kultur des Geldes in den südindischen Nilgiri mit Blick auf die dort lebenden Badaga. Ursprungsmythen, Dorfgründungen und Ahnenkulte, Kolonisation, ethnographische Repräsentation und Globalisierung, Markt, Gemeinschaft und Identität, Liebe, Religion und Ökonomie, Sozialstruktur und finanzielle Landschaften werden zur Geschichte eines "lokalen Geldes" verknüpft - ein Geld der Tat, des Geistes und der Erinnerung.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor Koch-Grünberg (1872-1924) zählt zu den großen Pionieren der ethnografischen Forschung. Anlässlich seines 150. Geburtstags erscheint das Tagebuch seiner dritten Expedition durch Südamerika. Die umfassend bebilderte und mit erläuternden Begleittexten ausgestattete Edition gibt einen unmittelbaren und authentischen Einblick in Forschungsmethoden, soziale Beziehungen wie auch in die Gedankenwelt des Ethnologen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Komplementärbegriffe Risiko und Vertrauen sind dazu geeignet, biblisch-theologische, systematisch-theologische, ethische und sozialtheoretische Perspektiven in ein produktives Gespräch zu bringen.

Book Synopsis Depression in Kerala by : Claudia Lang
Download or read book Depression in Kerala written by Claudia Lang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines depression as a widely diagnosed and treated common mental disorder in India and offers a significant ethnographic study of the application of a traditional Indian medical system (Ayurveda) to the very modern problem of depression. Based on over a year of fieldwork, it investigates the Ayurvedic response to the burden of depression in the Indian state of Kerala as one of the key processes of the local appropriation or glocalization of depression. More broadly, Lang considers: What happens with the category of depression when it leaves the West and travels to South Asia? How is depression appropriated in a South Asian society characterized by medical pluralism? She explores on the level of ideas, institutions and materialities how depression interacts with and changes local worlds, clinical practice and knowledge and subjectivities. As depression travels from ‘the West’ to South India, its ontology, Lang argues, multiplies and thus leads to what she calls ‘depression multiple’.
Book Synopsis Kunst der Bewegung by : Christina Lechtermann
Download or read book Kunst der Bewegung written by Christina Lechtermann and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge aus der Kulturwissenschaft, Medientheorie, Linguistik und Philosophie, Kunst- und Literaturwissenschaft, mit einem Schwerpunkt in der Germanistischen Mediävistik. Sie gehen auf eine Arbeitstagung an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin 2002 zurück und befassen sich mit dem grundsätzlichen Stellenwert, den Bewegung für kulturell je unterschiedliche Kommunikations- und Wahrnehmungsroutinen hat. Im Hinblick auf eine historische Anthropologie medialer Praktiken wird untersucht, wie jemand als Wahrnehmender, das heißt, als Hörender oder Lesender, als Sehender und (sich) Spürender in Bewegung versetzt werden kann. Kinästhetik wird damit als transmediales Phänomen aufgefaßt, als eine grundlegende Bedingung der Fähigkeit von Medien, Dinge wahrnehmbar zu machen, weil Wahrnehmung und Bewegung immer miteinander verbunden sind. Die Frage nach dem Kinästhetischen bezieht sich daher auf die spezifischen Erfahrungen, die verschiedene historische Medienkonstellationen offerieren. Um das Zusammenspiel zwischen solchen Angeboten und den damit jeweils eingeforderten Aktualisierungen beschreibbar zu machen, das der doppelten Bestimmung von Wahrnehmung als Bewegung und Bewegtwerden korrespondiert, ist dem Band die Wendung auf die 'virtuellen Welten' eingeschrieben.

Book Synopsis Unani Medicine in the Making by : Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth
Download or read book Unani Medicine in the Making written by Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Unani Medicine in the Making', Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth examines the contemporary institutions and practices of Graeco-Islamic healing in India. Drawing on interviews with practitioners, clinical observations, and Urdu sources, the book focuses on Unani's multiplicity, scrutinizing apparent tensions between the understanding of Unani as a system of medicine and its multiple enactments as Islamic medicine, medical science, or alternative medicine. Ethnographic details provide vivid descriptions of the current practices of Unani in India and invite readers to rethink the idea that humoral medicine is incommensurable with modern science. Ultimately, the book also discusses the relationship of Unani with Muslim communities, examining the growing practice of Prophetic Medicine in Urban India and the increasing representation of Unani as Islamic Medicine.
