Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage discute des notions de base à propos de la culture dans l'optique de mieux cerner les attitudes des patients en situation de soin. Tout soignant peut rencontrer des personnes pour lesquelles le soin devrait être adapté culturellement. De plus, certains comportements peuvent paraître imcompréhensibles pour des soignants occidentaux : une approche culturelle peut donner du sens. Une mauvaise interprétation de billets culturels peut être déconcertante pour l'agent de santé.
Download or read book The Social Fabric of Health written by John M. Janzen and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the familiar themes in medical anthropology, but places them in a unique perspective. Using a "fabric" metaphor, The Social Fabric of Health weaves together relationships, bodies, feelings, narratives, idea, material support, and institutions in the human experience of health, illness, and healing. In addition to the unique "fabric" perspective the book brings to the subject of medical anthropology, it also brings another unique perspective to thissubject: Using signs-an approach commonly known as semiotics-the text formulates the nuances between the subjective realm of individual experience and the more objective, public world of symbols, codes, and laws

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comme les autres sciences sociales, l'anthropologie se heurte à la mondialisation des phénomènes sociaux qui gagne en ampleur, en intensité et en complexité maintenant. Les analyses que propose l'anthropologie ne peuvent certes faire l'impasse sur ces transformations sociales majeures. En proposant à des anthropologues de renom, spécialisés en anthropologie médicale, de produire une synthèse des recherches et des enseignements dans leurs pays respectifs, d'une part, ou d'aborder quelques thèmes plus généraux, d'autre part, les responsables de cet ouvrage visent en quelque sorte à globaliser l'anthropologie médicale pour qu'elle soit en phase avec les questions dont elle traite. C'est aussi leur espoir que ces articles contribuent à un élargissement des perspectives qui sera utile aussi bien aux chercheurs chevronnés qu'aux étudiants qui s'initient à ce domaine de l'anthropologie contemporaine.
Download or read book Medical Anthropology written by Robert Pool and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2005-09-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical anthropology is playing an increasingly important role in public health. This book provides an introduction to the basic concepts, approaches and theories used, and shows how these contribute to understanding complex health related behaviour. Public health policies and interventions are more likely to be effective if the beliefs and behaviour of people are understood and taken into account. The book examines: Concepts of culture Medical systems Patient's experience of illness and treatment The use of medicines and healing practices Public health and medical research Examples of particular health problems, such as HIV and malaria, are used to show how an anthropological approach can contribute to both a better understanding of health and illness and to more culturally compatible public health measures. Series Editors: Rosalind Plowman and Nicki Thorogood.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A La Réunion c'est côte à côte, bien plus que face à face, que la médecine et les autres pratiques de soin sont le lot quotidien de l'interprétation de la maladie et de sa prise en charge : quel soignant n'a été un jour propulsé au cœur de l'espace incertain où se rencontrent la maladie, les religions, la quête de soin et de sens face à la douleur et à la mort ? Quel est l'ethnologue, l'historien, le responsable administratif ou politique qui n'y a pas été convié malgré lui ? C'est l'effort de l'anthropologie médicale que d'aider à mettre de la clarté dans tout ce qui semble, en ces domaines, obscur. Ce volume collectif, coordonné par Jean Benoist, est destiné à ceux qui sont peu familiers du domaine de l'anthropologie médicale mais qui souhaitent participer à son essor. Panorama des questions et des perspectives, il est aussi un bilan, que trace une riche bibliographie finale.

Download or read book An Anthropology of Biomedicine written by Margaret M. Lock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Anthropology of Biomedicine is an exciting new introduction to biomedicine and its global implications. Focusing on the ways in which the application of biomedical technologies bring about radical changes to societies at large, cultural anthropologist Margaret Lock and her co-author physician and medical anthropologist Vinh-Kim Nguyen develop and integrate the thesis that the human body in health and illness is the elusive product of nature and culture that refuses to be pinned down. Introduces biomedicine from an anthropological perspective, exploring the entanglement of material bodies with history, environment, culture, and politics Develops and integrates an original theory: that the human body in health and illness is not an ontological given but a moveable, malleable entity Makes extensive use of historical and contemporary ethnographic materials around the globe to illustrate the importance of this methodological approach Integrates key new research data with more classical material, covering the management of epidemics, famines, fertility and birth, by military doctors from colonial times on Uses numerous case studies to illustrate concepts such as the global commodification of human bodies and body parts, modern forms of population, and the extension of biomedical technologies into domestic and intimate domains Winner of the 2010 Prose Award for Archaeology and Anthropology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peut-il exister une science à l’état pur, une science à la fois pure de toute scorie étrangère et de toute origine métisse ? La science impure raconte cette histoire de la quête impossible de cette pureté mythique, à propos des rapports entre la médecine et l’anthropologie dans quatre pays européens (France, Grande-Bretagne, Italie et Pays-Bas) depuis bientôt deux siècles. L’anthropologie médicale est née d’une série de rencontres tumultueuses entre des médecins, des ethnographes, des voyageurs, des administrateurs, des missionnaires et des amateurs de curiosités que ce soit en Italie avec la criminologie de Lombroso, aux Pays-Bas avec la médecine tropicale, en Grande-Bretagne avec les administrateurs coloniaux et la figure de Rivers ou en France avec l’anthropologie morbide de Morel. D’un côté, cette origine « impure » rappelle à l’anthropologie ses liens avec les sciences de la nature et de l’autre elle renvoie la médecine à la dimension sociale de toute relation de soi. En ce sens il n’existe pas de science pure, et toute purification est illusoire. C’est pourquoi l’histoire de l’anthropologie médicale fourmille de personnages inclassables de façon simple entre les deux catégories du normal et du pathologique : épileptiques, criminels, primitifs, ouvriers, suffragettes, paysans du Mezzogiorno, mais aussi goutteux, diabétiques ou scrofuleux, liste qui montre à elle seule la relativité des catégorisations en fonction de l’histoire et de la culture. Nicoletta Diasio, dans un français souvent flamboyant, nous invite à un voyage épistémologique à travers l’Europe. Partant au XIXe siècle elle aboutit, grâce à des entretiens menés en français, italiens et anglais à l’anthropologie telle qu’elle se fait aujourd’hui à Londres, Paris, Rome ou Amsterdam. Inventaire d’une richesse faite de différences, La science impure met en scène le rapport entre savoirs et sociétés, application et implication, purisme et métissage, universalisme scientifique et repli identitaire.

Download or read book The Anthropology of Medicine written by Lola Romanucci-Ross and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1997-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited revision of what has now become the classic text in medical anthropology contains a wealth of new material on subjects as diverse as aging, creativity, and ideology. Originally cited in ^IAmerican Anthropologist^R as must reading for all medical anthropologists, physicians, advanced medical anthropology students and advanced medical students, this new edition should prove twice as valuable. It is both a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly growing field of medical anthropology and a state-of-the-art reference work. The authors bring new perspectives to our understanding of both Western and non-Western medicine, from the biochemical and physiological aspects of health care in preindustrialized cultures to cultural and ideological factors inherent in past and present Western medical care. New chapters focus on ethnobotany, placebo and pain, shamanism, and psychiatry. The contributors to this volume examine the acculturation process of healer, physician, and patient in diverse cultural settings. They explore the social and cultural context of medical events as well as the process of medical thought and problem solving. Medicine, they illustrate, embraces or is embraced by both the cultural and biological dimensions of mankind. From this perspective they show how human belief, knowledge, and action structure the experience of disease and affect ways in which doctors, healers, and patients experience illness and influence the matrix of decision making. This book is essential for students and professionals in anthropology, medicine, and all social science.
Download or read book Exploring Medical Anthropology written by Donald Joralemon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This widely adopted text is a concise and engaging introduction to the field that presents competing theoretical perspectives in a balanced fashion, highlighting points of conflict and convergence. Written in an accessible, jargon-free language, Exploring Medical Anthropology’s concise length leaves room for instructors to supplement it with monographs of their own choosing. Concrete cases and the author’s personal research experiences are utilized to explain some of the discipline’s most important insights; such as that biology and culture matter equally in the human experience of disease and that medical anthropology can help to alleviate human suffering. An extensive glossary facilitates student learning of concepts and terms, while a list of suggested readings at the end of each chapter and an extensive bibliography encourage further exploration.
Download or read book Medical Anthropology written by Thomas M. Johnson and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-08-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past ten years, medical anthropology has come into its own as a flourishing sub-discipline within anthropology, with an expanded research agenda and sophisticated methodology. This handbook offers both an introduction for those not trained in the field and a state-of-the-art survey encompassing the range of theoretical orientations, research findings, and methods that characterize the discipline as it moves into the 1990s. Each of the nineteen chapters explores recent developments in a major subarea of medical anthropology and speculates about directions for future research and theoretical exploration. The chapters are arranged in five sections, the first of which addresses core issues covering the breadth of current theoretical concerns. The sections that follow treat other aspects of medical anthropology, including a range of medical systems and approaches; the most recent trends in the crosscultural study of health and healing; medical dimensions of the interaction of populations with the natural and cultural environment; research methods; and some of the most pressing policy and advocacy issues confronting medicine today.
Download or read book Clinically Applied Anthropology written by N. Chrisman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: like other collections of papers related to a single topic, this volume arose out of problem-sharing and problem-solving discussions among some of the authors. The two principal recurring issues were (1) the difficulties in translating anthropo logical knowledge so that our students could use it and (2) the difficulties of bringing existing medical anthropology literature to bear on this task. As we talked to other anthropologists teaching in other parts of the country and in various health-related schools, we recognized that our problems were similar. Similarities in our solutions led the Editors to believe that publication of our teaching experi ences and research relevant to teaching would help others and might begin the process of generating principles leading to a more coherent approach. Our colleagues supported this idea and agreed to contribute. What we agreed to write about was 'Clinically Applied Anthropology'. Much of what we were doing and certainly much of the relevant literature was applied anthropology. And our target group was composed-mostly of clinicians. The utility of the term became apparent after 1979 when another set of anthropologists began to discuss 'ainical Anthropology'. They too recognized the range of novel be haviors available to anthropologists in the health science arena and chose to focus on the clinical use of anthropology. We see this as an important endeavor, but very different from what we are proposing.
