Panorama: This is a study of chanting as performed by a new type of healing shamans born from the mixing of Amazonian and Western practices in Peru. These new healers originate from various extractions, indigenous Amazonians, mestizos of mixed race, and foreigners, principally Europeans and North-Americans. They are known as vegetalistas and their practice is called vegetalismo due to the place they attribute to plants - or vegetal - in the working of human consciousness and healing rituals. The research for this study was conducted in the Tarapoto region, in the Peruvian highland tropical forest. It is based both on first hand information collected during a year of fieldwork and on my personal experience as a patient and as a trainee practitioner in vegetalismo during the last six years. The key idea to be discussed in this study revolves around the vegetalista understanding that the taking of plants generates a process of learning to communicate with spirits and to awaken one’s consciousness to a broader reality - both within the self and towards the outer world.

WEB-BASED SECTION Instructor Charles Mather TA TBA Office ES754 Office TBA Phone 220-6426 Phone TBA E-mail [email protected] E-mail TBA Office Hours TR - 10:00AM to Office Hours TBA 11:30AM COURSE PREREQUISITES: ANTH 203 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to medical anthropology. Particular case studies, drawn from the course readings, will serve as examples for the diversity of methods and theories found within medical anthropology. Course content will include lectures, readings, and long videos/films. The course will follow an asynchronous design. Students will be able to access at their convenience recorded lectures and other materials through D2L. COURSE OBJECTIVES/LEARNING OUTCOMES Among other things, by the end of this course students will be able to identify, describe, and compare the three broad approaches in the sub-discipline: biocultural, cultural, and applied medical anthropology. Students will be able to explain how medical anthropologists take a comparative and holistic perspective to understand complex health phenomena and challenges. Through their reading of course materials, they will not only be prepared to answer short answer, essay questions, and multiple choice questions on exams, but they will be able to identify and discuss case studies that illustrate the most salient issues in the sub-discipline. REQUIRED READINGS The readings for this course consist of articles from major academic journals that students can access through the University of Calgary Library system.

  • Centeredness As a Cultural and Grammatical Theme in Maya-Mam
    CENTEREDNESS AS A CULTURAL AND GRAMMATICAL THEME IN MAYA-MAM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Wesley M. Collins, B.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Professor Donald Winford, Advisor Professor Scott Schwenter Advisor Professor Amy Zaharlick Department of Linguistics Copyright by Wesley Miller Collins 2005 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I look at selected Maya-Mam anthropological and linguistic data and suggest that they provide evidence that there exist overlapping cultural and grammatical themes that are salient to Mam speakers. The data used in this study were gathered largely via ethnographic methods based on participant observation over my twenty-five year relationship with the Mam people of Comitancillo, a town of 60,000 in Guatemala’s Western Highlands. For twelve of those years, my family and I lived among the Mam, participating with them in the cultural milieu of daily life. In order to help shed light on the general relationship between language and culture, I discuss the key Mayan cultural value of centeredness and I show how this value is a pervasive organizing principle in Mayan thought, cosmology, and daily living, a value called upon by the Mam in their daily lives to regulate and explain behavior. Indeed, I suggest that centeredness is a cultural theme, a recurring cultural value which supersedes social differences, and which is defined for cultural groups as a whole (England, 1978). I show how the Mam understanding of issues as disparate as homestead construction, the town central plaza, historical Mayan religious practice, Christian conversion, health concerns, the importance of the numbers two and four, the notions of agreement and forgiveness, child discipline, and moral stance are all instantiations of this basic underlying principle.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • Susto: the Context of Community Morbidity Patterns
    SUSTO: THE CONTEXT OF COMMUNITY MORBIDITY PATTERNS Robert T. Trotter II Pan American University Susto. the widespread Latin American folk illness, normally translated as fright or shock, holds a special place in medical anthropology. For the past 25 years or more it has provided a convenient springboard tor ethnographic descriptions, for explorations ot the effect of culture on health beliefs, and it has been a common analytical arena for the assessment of stress, social roles, sex roles, the nature- nuture controversy, and the epistemology of medical anthropology itself. While this is a significant burden to load onto a single ailment, susto has withstood this analytical onslaught extremely well and still provides a useful focus for further investigation. The earlier works on susto fail into three broad categories. First are rhose which provide a conventional ethnographic description of the illness (e.g., Rubel 1960, 1966; Madsen 19(54; Nail and Speilberg 1967; Trotter and Chavira 1980, 1981). Beyond description, other authors have postulated the causes of susto from sociocultural perspectives (Gillen 1945; Rubel 1964; O'Neil and Seiby 1968; Uzzeil 19-4; O'Neil 1975; O'Neil and Rubel 19-6, 1980; Rubel and'O'Neil 19-9, and Logan 19^9), psychological and/or psychiatric perspectives (Gillen 1948; Sal y Rosas 1958; Kiev 1968; Goebel 19^5; Grebe and Segura 1974), and biological (Bolton 1980, 1981) perspectives. These two groups together attempt to answer the questions, "what is JV/J/Y;?," "what is its cause, and its effect.'" Collectively, these works constitute our current understanding ot the etiology ot the illness.

    PHENOMENOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OF MEXICAN CURANDERISMO A PsyD Clinical Dissertation Submitted by Yoseline Paulett Lopez-Marroquin, M.A. to ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY SANTA BARBARA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology June 2019 Dissertation Committee: ___________________________________________ Brett Kia-Keating, EdD, Dissertation Chair ___________________________________________ George S. Bermudez, PhD, PsyD, Second Reader ___________________________________________ David Hoskins, PsyD, M.A.S, External Expert Reader ii ©Yoseline Lopez-Marroquin, 2019 iii ABSTRACT This qualitative research design focused on the various treatment dimensions of Curanderismo and explored it as a possible compliment with traditional Western psychotherapy. The principal investigator gathered information about the treatment provided in Curanderismo and gained a deeper understanding of participants’ lived experiences during such healings. This study also aimed to understand how individuals made the choice to seek treatment with a curandero/a, as well as if a deeper understanding of such treatment could help the mental health field be better informed care providers to the Latino/a community. Phenomenological research methodology was used in efforts to grasp how the participants, as individuals, experienced Mexican Curanderismo. Through a semi-structured life world interview, data was collected from eight participants: four Curanderos and four non-Curanderos, both sets represented by two males and two females.
