  • From Superstition to Folk Medicine the Transition from a Religious to a Medical Concept
    FOUND IN TRANSLATION From superstition to folk medicine The transition from a religious to a medical concept Josep M. Comelles Keywords folk medicine, history of anthropology Twenty years after (1996–2016) Between 1981 and 2005, I taught a course on the history of anthropology at my university. Although I am both an anthropologist and a doctor, I have always approached this course from the perspective of a historian of science specializing in anthropology, medicine, and psychiatry. I followed George Stocking’s (1968) advice concerning historiographic presentism in the history of science and sharing Verena Stolcke’s (1993) critical position on the lack of rigor in many histories of anthropology. Methodologically, I chose to distinguish between the history of anthropology as a ‘discipline’, the history of anthropology as a ‘profession’ (Comelles and Prat 1992, 40–42) – in the sense in which Eliot Freidson (1988) used this word – and the history of ‘ethnography’ as a fieldwork practice and resulting literary genre distinct from both ‘geography’ and ‘history’. The term ‘ethnography’ was coined in Germany at the end of the eighteenth century (Vermeulen 1995), at the same time that the German physician Ludwig Finke (1795) proposed the synonymous term ‘anthropography’ to designate ‘medical topographies’, one Medicine Anthropology Theory 3, no. 2: 269–305; http://doi.org/10.17157/mat.3.2.426 © Josep M.

While I have not explored the reasons why ‘ethnography’ won out over ‘anthropography’, I would like to point out here that both concepts emerged after centuries of the writing and publication of ‘ethnographic- like’ narratives (Comelles 1998; Elsner and Rubies 1999).

  • Gender Reversals and Gender Cultures
    GENDER REVERSALS AND GENDER CULTURES The theme of gender reversals has occurred in all societies since the beginning of recorded history. This volume explores some of the vast historical and cultural range of experience of the phenomenon: from the gender crossing of early Christian martyrs to Hindu and Buddhist beliefs in salvation through gender modification; from the mutating gender of actors in Chinese theatre to sacred genders in Siberia; from gender variance in North American Indian cultures to the androgynous beings of the cultural imagination of the Bimin- Kuskusmin of Papua New Guinea. These original essays are written from a broad mix of perspectives. Their common focus is the complex relation of gender reversals to taboo, and what this tells us about particular cultures. Sabrina Petra Ramet is Professor of International Studies at the University of Washington. She is the author of several books, including Nationalism and Federalism in Yugoslavia 1962–1991 (1992) and Social Currents in Eastern Europe (1995).

    Current Anthropology Volume 60, Number 4, August 2019 559 Freud among the Boasians Psychoanalytic Influence and Ambivalence in American Anthropology by Kevin P. Groark In this article, I present an unpublished letter in which Franz Boas offers what would become his final remarks on the work of Sigmund Freud and the influence of psychoanalysis on anthropology. I explore the intellectual and inter- personal field of early psychoanalytic anthropology, outlining Boas’s empirical objections to Freud’s “ethnology” (what we might call the letter’s manifest content), while exploring the less obvious latent factors underpinning his antipathy toward psychoanalytic thought: the marginalization of the Boasian paradigm at Columbia University, the cultural impact of Freud’s “untenable” theories, and most significant, the paradoxical and ambivalent appeal of psychoanalysis among Boas’s former students and disciples. I close with a set of reflections on the current relationship between an- thropology and psychoanalysis, offering thoughts on the role a cultural psychodynamic approach might play in what Géza Róheim called “the anthropology of the future.” Introduction: Remembrance of Things Past Several months earlier, just after Freud’s death, Kaempffert had published two critical retrospectives of Freud’s legacy in On a cold winter day in February 1940, several years after his his New York Times “Science in the News” column. “Now that retirement, Professor Emeritus Franz Boas sat at his desk in the Sigmund Freud is gone,” he wrote, “the world is trying to judge fi spacious Schermerhorn Hall of ce he still occupied in the De- him.

  • Farmer Suicides and Local Mental Health in Telangana, India
    CULTIVATING DISTRESS: FARMER SUICIDES AND LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH IN TELANGANA, INDIA NANDA KISHORE KANNURI Thesis submitted in partial requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DIVISION OF PSYCHIATRY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 2014 Declaration I, Nanda Kishore Kannuri, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. Where the information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 01/06/2015 2 Abstract This thesis examines the manifestation of global and national policies in rural distress and mental health wellbeing of cotton farmers in India. It draws upon the disciplines of medical anthropology and cultural psychiatry to argue for a re- calibration of health care systems and mental health pedagogy. The thesis addresses three interlinked research questions. Firstly, to examine the social and cultural contexts of farmer suicides. Secondly, how and why do these socio-cultural issues mediate between cotton farming and mental distress? The third question investigates the psycho-social consequences for survivors. Ethnographic field work for 12 months (2011-2012) was conducted in a village in Warangal district, Telangana State, India. A nuanced analysis points at a confluence of global and local forces in defining rural predicament when encountering modernity. Bt cotton symbolises this plight as it demonstrates the transformation of rural landscapes into environmentally and culturally toxic terrains. Such toxic landscapes amplify existing social and cultural marginalities leading to immense distress. Marginalised communities embody their suffering in both psychological and social forms. Furthermore this process generates an unrelenting state of social defeat amongst the despaired farmers.
