  • A Time of Lost Gods: Madness, Cosmology, and Psychiatry in China
    A Time of Lost Gods: Madness, Cosmology, and Psychiatry in China By Emily Karyie Ng A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stefania Pandolfo, Chair Professor Xin Liu Professor Vincanne Adams Professor Mark Csikszentmihalyi Summer 2016 Abstract A Time of Lost Gods: Madness, Cosmology, and Psychiatry in China by Emily Karyie Ng Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Stefania Pandolfo, Chair A Time of Lost Gods explores madness, haunting, and mediumship in a rural county of China’s Henan province. Drawing on twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork, I find that that given the economic and symbolic dispossession accompanying post-Reform rural outmigration, spirit mediums register psychiatric symptoms as signs of moral- cosmological collapse. I consider this in light of a precarious cosmology, wherein the very world of human and nonhuman persons and relationships are experienced as deeply destabilized. This sense of precarity is linked to the loss of Mao as a divine anti-colonial figure, evoking questions of socialist sovereignty alongside those of heavenly mandate. According to the spirit mediums, the Chairman’s death inaugurated the return of demons and deities, none of whom can be fully trusted, as they now mirror the duplicity of the human realm after market reforms. Mediums must work to discern between the true and false, the virtuous and malicious, amid a proliferation of madness-inducing spirits.

Recognizing that researcher-parents have many choices regarding their children’s presence during fieldwork, this vol- ume explores the many issues of conducting fieldwork with children, generally, and with children in China, specifically.

The book presents the voices of mothers and of fathers, with two particularly innovative pieces that are written by parent– child pairs. The collection as a whole offers a wide range of ex- periences that question and reflect on methodological issues related to fieldwork, including objectivity, cultural relativism, relationships in the field and positionality.
