Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-290) and index A short genealogy of traditional medicine -- Witchcraft, oracles, and native medicine -- Making Tanzanian traditional medicine -- Hailing traditional experts -- Healers and their intimate becomings -- Traditional birth attendants as institutional evocations -- Healing matters -- Alternative materialities -- Interferences and inclusions -- Shifting existences, or being and not-being "This subtle and powerful ethnography examines African healing and its relationship to medical science. Stacey A. Langwick investigates the practices of healers in Tanzania who confront the most intractable illnesses in the region, including AIDS and malaria. She reveals how healers generate new therapies and shape the bodies of their patients as they address devils and parasites, anti-witchcraft medicine, and child immunization. Transcending the dualisms between tradition and science, culture and nature, belief and knowledge, Langwick tells a new story about the materiality of healing and postcolonial politics. This important work bridges postcolonial theory, science, public health, and anthropology"--Back cover |

Langwick Bloomington Indiana University Press ©2011 1 Online-Ressource (xiii, 300 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-290) and index A short genealogy of traditional medicine -- Witchcraft, oracles, and native medicine -- Making Tanzanian traditional medicine -- Hailing traditional experts -- Healers and their intimate becomings -- Traditional birth attendants as institutional evocations -- Healing matters -- Alternative materialities -- Interferences and inclusions -- Shifting existences, or being and not-being "This subtle and powerful ethnography examines African healing and its relationship to medical science. Stacey A. Langwick investigates the practices of healers in Tanzania who confront the most intractable illnesses in the region, including AIDS and malaria. She reveals how healers generate new therapies and shape the bodies of their patients as they address devils and parasites, anti-witchcraft medicine, and child immunization. Transcending the dualisms between tradition and science, culture and nature, belief and knowledge, Langwick tells a new story about the materiality of healing and postcolonial politics. This important work bridges postcolonial theory, science, public health, and anthropology"--Back cover Menorah Association (DE-588)7840519-1 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1600-1700 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1906-1965 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 2000-2010 gnd rswk-swf Medicine, African Traditional / Tanzania Anthropology, Cultural / Tanzania SOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology bisacsh Medical care fast Traditional medicine fast Traditional medicine Tanzania Medical care Tanzania Air (DE-588)4141673-9 gnd rswk-swf Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 gnd rswk-swf Mode (DE-588)4039792-0 gnd rswk-swf Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 gnd rswk-swf Kleidung (DE-588)4031011-5 gnd rswk-swf Heiler (DE-588)4297454-9 gnd rswk-swf Medizin (DE-588)4038243-6 gnd rswk-swf Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf Tansania (DE-588)4078149-5 gnd rswk-swf Tansania (DE-588)4078149-5 g Heiler (DE-588)4297454-9 s Medizin (DE-588)4038243-6 s 1\p DE-604 Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Air (DE-588)4141673-9 s Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 s Geschichte 1600-1700 z DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Menorah Association (DE-588)7840519-1 b Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 s Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 s Geschichte 1906-1965 z Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Kleidung (DE-588)4031011-5 s Mode (DE-588)4039792-0 s Geschichte 2000-2010 z http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=381987 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
