Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evil Eye; Thanatology: And Other Essays Responsibility for the following collection of essays and addresses (occasional papers) rests perhaps not more with their writer, who was not unwilling to see them presented in a single volume, than with those of his friends who were complimentary enough to urge their assemblage and publication in this shape. They partake of the character of studies in that border-land of anthropology, biology, philology and history which surrounds the immediate domain of medical and general science. This ever offers a standing invitation and an enduring fascination for those who will but raise their eyes from the fertile and arable soil in which they concentrate their most arduous labors. Too close confinement in this field may result in greater commercial yield, but the fragrance of the clover detracts not at all from the value of the hay, nor do borderland studies result otherwise than in enlargement of the boundaries of one's storm center of work. No strictly technical nor professional papers have been reprinted herein, while several of those which appear do so for the first time.

Book excerpt: These thirteen gripping essays partake of the character of studies in that borderland of anthropology, biology, philology and history which surrounds the immediate domain of medical and general science. They reflect a degree of careful historic inquiry unusual in the nonprofessional historian, particularly if he be a medical man. The topics range from the evil eye to the history of anesthesia, from the discovery of the circulation to the phenomenology of death, from a sympathetic character sketch of Giordano Bruno to snake worship. There is an assay on the evolution of the surgeon from the barber. Other topics include the occult frequently, forgotten history constantly, and what would now be considered quack medicine occasionally. Advocating the use of cocaine as a pain killing agent and speaking at length even about military matters, "The Evil Eye" is highly unusual and interesting now even as it must have been a century prior Notoir Books is a publisher of books on topics of esoteric interests, eccentric memoirs, overlooked history, otherworldly stories and distinctive voices.

Download or read book The Evil Eye written by Alan Dundes and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evil eye--the power to inflict illness, damage to property, or even death simply by gazing at or praising someone--is among the most pervasive and powerful folk beliefs in the Indo-European and Semitic world. It is also one of the oldest, judging from its appearance in the Bible and in Sumerian texts five thousand years old. Remnants of the superstition persist today when we drink toasts, tip waiters, and bless sneezers. To avert the evil eye, Muslim women wear veils, baseball players avoid mentioning a no-hitter in progress, and traditional Jews say their business or health is "not bad" (rather than "good"). Though by no means universal, the evil eye continues to be a major factor in the behavior of millions of people living in the Mediterranean and Arab countries, as well as among immigrants to the Americas. This widespread superstition has attracted the attention of many scholars, and the twenty-one essays gathered in this book represent research from diverse perspectives: anthropology, classics, folklore studies, ophthalmology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, sociology, and religious studies. Some essays are fascinating reports of beliefs about the evil eye, from India and Iran to Scotland and Slovak-American communities; others analyze the origin, function, and cultural significance of this folk belief from ancient times to the present day. Editor Alan Dundes concludes the volume by proffering a comprehensive theoretical explanation of the evil eye. Anyone who has ever knocked on wood to ward off misfortune will enjoy this generous sampling of evil eye scholarship, and may never see the world through the same eyes again.
