Asymmetrical Conversations: Contestations, Circumventions, and the Blurring of Therapeutic Boundaries Harish Naraindas

Ideas about health are reinforced by institutions and their corresponding practices, such as donning a patient's gown in a hospital or prostrating before a healing shrine. Even though we are socialized into regarding such ideologies as natural and unproblematic, we sometimes seek to bypass, circumvent, or even transcend the dominant ideologies of our cultures as they are manifested in the institutions of health care. The contributors to this volume describe such contestations and circumventions of health ideologies, and the blurring of therapeutic boundaries, on the basis of case studies from India, the South Asian Diaspora, and Europe, focusing on relations between body, mind, and spirit in a variety of situations. The result is not always the live and let live medical pluralism that is described in the literature.

Asymmetrical Conversations Bewertungen

Cultivating the Nile is a fascinating account, which is likely to attract the attention of the growing community of water anthropologists. It also deserves a wide readership within the community of water policy-makers and others working with resource governance. Its detailed descriptions of encounters around water will most certainly resonate with observations from elsewhere, and the ways in which the narrative reveals how water is made in these encounters is a refreshing reminder that water's materiality matters in its social life. * Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute

This is a compelling and intellectually satisfying volume that offers important new ethnographic work which, I would argue, revitalizes studies of medical pluralism... an important project by some of the most outstanding and well-known scholars in these areas of study - several of whose names readers will recognize and inspire interest in the volume. * Murphy Halliburton, City University of New York

...an excellent volume, useful for teaching at undergrad and postgrad level in anthropology, medical anthropology, religious studies and South Asian studies. * Caroline Osella, SOAS

The articles display a uniformly high level of intellectual skill, and provide a good combination of methodological expertise, basic research, and cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary acumen. I am very impressed. * Frederick M. Smith, University of Iowa
