    Princeton University Department of Anthropology Spring 2015 MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY ANT 335 M/W 11:00 am- 12:20 pm Lewis Library 120 Instructor: Professor João Biehl ([email protected]) Lecturer: Bridget Purcell ([email protected]) Graduate Student Assistants: Kessie Alexandre ([email protected] Thalia Gigerenzer ([email protected]) Course Description Medical Anthropology is a critical and people-centered investigation of affliction and therapeutics. It draws from approaches in anthropology and the medical humanities to understand the body- environment-medicine interface in a cross-cultural perspective. How do social processes determine disease and health in individuals and collectivities? How does culture surface in the seeking of treatment and the provision of medical care? What role do medical technologies and public interventions play in health outcomes? Which values inform medical theory and practice, and how might the humanities deepen our understanding of the realities of disease and care? In the first half of the course, we will discuss topics such as: the relation of illness, subjectivity, and social experience; the logic of witchcraft; the healing efficacy of symbols and rituals; the art of caregiving and moral sensibility. We will also probe the reach and relevance of concepts such as the normal and the pathological, body techniques, discipline and normalization, medicalization, the nocebo and placebo effects, the mindful body, and the body politic. In the second half of the course, we will explore how scientific

  • First Do No Harm
    Çalik et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2018) 18:415 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-018-2054-0 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access First do no harm - interventions during labor and maternal satisfaction: a descriptive cross-sectional study Kıymet Yeşilçiçek Çalik1*, Özlem Karabulutlu2 and Canan Yavuz3 Abstract Background: Interventions can be lifesaving when properly implemented but can also put the lives of both mother and child at risk by disrupting normal physiological childbirth when used indiscriminately without indications. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the effect of frequent interventions during labor on maternal satisfaction and to provide evidence-based recommendations for labor management decisions. Methods: The study was performed in descriptive design in a state hospital in Kars, Turkey with 351 pregnant women who were recruited from the delivery ward. The data were collected using three questionnaires: a survey form containing sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics, the Scale for Measuring Maternal Satisfaction in Vaginal Birth, and an intervention observation form. Results: The average satisfaction scores of the mothers giving birth in our study were found to be low, at 139.59 ± 29.02 (≥150.5 = high satisfaction level, < 150.5 = low satisfaction level). The percentages of the interventions that were carried out were as follows: 80.6%, enema; 22.2%, perineal shaving; 70.7%, induction; 95.4%, continuous EFM; 92.3%, listening to fetal heart sounds; 72.9%, vaginal examination (two-hourly); 31.9%, amniotomy; 31.3%, medication for pain control; 74.9%, intravenous fluids; 80.3%, restricting food/liquid intake; 54.7%, palpation of contractions on the fundus; 35.0%, restriction of movement; 99.1%, vaginal irrigation with chlorhexidine; 85.5%, using a “hands on” method; 68.9%, episiotomy; 74.6%, closed glottis pushing; 43.3%, fundal pressure; 55.3%, delayed umbilical cord clamping; 86.0%, delayed skin-to-skin contact; 60.1%, controlled cord traction; 68.9%, postpartum hemorrhage control; and 27.6%, uterine massage.

The dissertation develops a critical framework for understanding the ways in which a sustained encounter between critical race studies, disability studies, and the medical humanities can generate new conceptions of health and healing. I accomplish this through a reassessment of the writings of decolonial theorist Frantz Fanon, a physician who used narrative case studies and ethnography to illuminate the imbrication of race, illness, and disability. By introducing a decolonial perspective to the study of narratives of illness and disability, this project not only challenges the medical humanities and disability studies to consider the experience of race and the effects of colonialism, but also foregrounds questions of disability and illness within the fields of race theory and postcolonial studies, where they have until now received minimal scholarly attention.

  • Paul Farmer Is One of the Most Extraordinary People I Have Ever Met
    “Paul Farmer is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. A brilliant doctor and teacher, he tirelessly works for the poorest of the poor, insisting that they deserve the very best care that is available. He not only changes individual lives, but massive systems, proving against overwhelming objections that his methods are not only what Christian compassion demands, but that they bring about effective cures. Jennie Weiss Block will make you fall in love not only with Paul, but with the beloved people to whom he is so passionately committed. This is not a book you can put back on the shelf after reading; it will move you to take the next step in your own commitment to accompany the poorest in our world.” — Barbara Reid, OP Professor of New Testament Studies Catholic Theological Union “It is rare that readers get to explore the lives of legendary people while they are still with us making this book a precious gift. One of the greatest physician-scholar-activist servants in American history, Paul Farmer is a powerful model of service to the poor. The world has much to learn from his life and witness. For anyone with a heart for the vulnerable, the poor, and the underserved, this thoughtful new text about an extraordinary human being is an inspiration and must-read.” — Bryan Stevenson Director of Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy “Some say that the devil is in the details, but in the life of Paul Farmer, there’s grace in those details! Whether he’s living in Haiti, Liberia, Rwanda, or Cambridge, channeling the corporal works into weapons of mass salvation, or running with the preferential option for the poor, Paul’s life exudes the call that’s so tangible in these pages.

  • In His Compelling Book, Farmer Captures the Central Dilemma of Our Times—The Increasing Disparities of Health and Well-Being Within and Among Societies
    PRAISE FOR PAUL FARMER’S PATHOLOGIES OF POWER “In his compelling book, Farmer captures the central dilemma of our times—the increasing disparities of health and well-being within and among societies. While all member countries of the United Nations denounce the gross viola- tions of human rights perpetrated by those who torture, murder, or imprison without due process, the insidious violations of human rights due to structural violence involving the denial of economic opportunity, decent housing, or ac- cess to health care and education are commonly ignored. Pathologies of Power makes a powerful case that our very humanity is threatened by our collective failure to end these abuses.” ROBERT S. LAWRENCE, President of Physicians for Human Rights and Professor of Preventive Medicine, Johns Hopkins University “Pathologies of Power is a passionate critique of conventional biomedical ethics by one of the world’s leading physician-anthropologists and public intellectu- als. Farmer’s on-the-ground analysis of the relentless march of the AIDS epi- demic and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among the imprisoned and the sick- poor of the world illuminates the pathologies of a world economy that has lost its soul.” NANCY SCHEPER-HUGHES, author of Death without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil “Wedding medicine and anthropology, painstaking clinical and field observation with rigorous conceptual elaboration, Farmer gives us that most rare of books: one that opens both our minds and hearts. Pathologies of Power uses the prism of public health to illuminate the structural forces that decide the ‘right to sur- vive’ on the global stage.

  • The Identification and Validation of Neural Tube Defects in the General Practice Research Database
    THE IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS IN THE GENERAL PRACTICE RESEARCH DATABASE Scott T. Devine A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Public Health (Epidemiology). Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by Advisor: Suzanne West Reader: Elizabeth Andrews Reader: Patricia Tennis Reader: John Thorp Reader: Andrew Olshan © 2007 Scott T Devine ALL RIGHTS RESERVED - ii- ABSTRACT Scott T. Devine The Identification And Validation Of Neural Tube Defects In The General Practice Research Database (Under the direction of Dr. Suzanne West) Background: Our objectives were to develop an algorithm for the identification of pregnancies in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) that could be used to study birth outcomes and pregnancy and to determine if the GPRD could be used to identify cases of neural tube defects (NTDs). Methods: We constructed a pregnancy identification algorithm to identify pregnancies in 15 to 45 year old women between January 1, 1987 and September 14, 2004. The algorithm was evaluated for accuracy through a series of alternate analyses and reviews of electronic records. We then created electronic case definitions of anencephaly, encephalocele, meningocele and spina bifida and used them to identify potential NTD cases. We validated cases by querying general practitioners (GPs) via questionnaire. Results: We analyzed 98,922,326 records from 980,474 individuals and identified 255,400 women who had a total of 374,878 pregnancies. There were 271,613 full-term live births, 2,106 pre- or post-term births, 1,191 multi-fetus deliveries, 55,614 spontaneous abortions or miscarriages, 43,264 elective terminations, 7 stillbirths in combination with a live birth, and 1,083 stillbirths or fetal deaths.

    Anthropologie et santé en Asie du Sud-Est Dynamiques et courants de recherche Anne Yvonne GUILLOU*, Evelyne MICOLLIER** Les premières études anthropologiques 1 de la santé, de la maladie et des soins remontent aux années 1920, si l’on en attribue la paternité, comme il est d’usage, à William H. Rivers dans son ouvrage Medicine, Magic and Religion publié en 1924. On peut sché- matiser l’évolution de ces travaux en plusieurs étapes plus ou moins chronologiques. Jusqu’aux années 1970-1980, les chercheurs se sont concentrés sur ce qu’ils appelaient alors les systèmes étiologico-thérapeutiques, c’est-à-dire les systèmes de pensées, insérés dans une vision globale du monde, que chaque société invente pour expliquer les causes du dysfonctionnement du corps humain et les moyens d’y remédier. Dans les décennies suivantes (1980-1990), les études de terrain ont surtout traité des modes de coexistence de médecines différentes, en particulier de la médecine scientifique d’origine occidentale et des médecines et thérapeutiques locales, c’est-à-dire des formes * Anne Yvonne Guillou est chargée de recherche au CNRS, anthropologue, attachée au Centre Asie du Sud-Est (EHESS-CNRS, Paris). Elle a travaillé pendant de nombreuses années sur des questions liées à la santé et la médecine tant au Cambodge que dans des situations migratoires. Depuis 2007, elle a entamé un nouveau programme de recherche intitulé « Ruptures sociales et construction des mémoires au Cambodge ». ** Evelyne Micollier est chargée de recherche à l’IRD, anthropologue, attachée à l’UMR 145, IRD- université de Montpellier I. Depuis 2006, elle coordonne un programme de recherche franco-chinois à Beijing (IRD-PUMC/CAMS Peking Union Medical College/Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) intitulé « Réponses sociales, impact du genre et mobilisation de savoirs scientifiques/traditionnels dans le contexte de la recherche et de la prise en charge du VIH/sida en Chine ».

  • ANT 764 Seminar in Critical Medical Anthropology Seminar
    ANT 764 Seminar in Critical Medical Anthropology Seminar Description: In the broadest sense, the subject matter of medical anthropology is as old as the discipline of anthropology itself. As long as anthropologists have been engaged in ethnographic fieldwork, they have been collecting data relating to health, including ‘local’ theories of disease causation, the practices and techniques of healers, and the medicinal properties of plants and animals, among other related topics. With the burgeoning interest in international public health after WW II, however, many anthropologists began to focus their research efforts specifically on global public health – especially those ‘cultural barriers” to health as identified by such newly formed international bodies as the World Health Organization. Although medical anthropology today is divided and subdivided into many specialties, the time depth and geographic breadth of its interests remains distinctly anthropological; the study of human health, illness, and healing from the Paleolithic past to the present, and across cultures around the globe. As such, medical anthropology today encompasses interests in the evolution of human health (e.g., paleopathology/ bioarchaeology, Darwinian medicine) and biological adaptability (e.g., medical ecology, the anthropology of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease [DOHaD]), as well as ethnomedical, interpretive, and political- economy oriented approaches to issues associated with health and disease. This seminar will explore a single orienting perspective
