Medical-Anthropology-2015.Pdf
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 -
Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons a Thesis
Disablement, Diversity, Deviation: Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Sarah Gibbons 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation brings disability studies and postcolonial studies into dialogue with discourse surrounding risk in the environmental humanities. The central question that it investigates is how critics can reframe and reinterpret existing threat registers to accept and celebrate disability and embodied difference without passively accepting the social policies that produce disabling conditions. It examines the literary and rhetorical strategies of contemporary cultural works that one, promote a disability politics that aims for greater recognition of how our environmental surroundings affect human health and ability, but also two, put forward a disability politics that objects to devaluing disabled bodies by stigmatizing them as unnatural. Some of the major works under discussion in this dissertation include Marie Clements’s Burning Vision (2003), Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), Gerardine Wurzburg’s Wretches & Jabberers (2010) and Corinne Duyvis’s On the Edge of Gone (2016). The first section of this dissertation focuses on disability, illness, industry, and environmental health to consider how critics can discuss disability and environmental health in conjunction without returning to a medical model in which the term ‘disability’ often designates how closely bodies visibly conform or deviate from definitions of the normal body. -

Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments First, acknowledgments must go to the Vineyard Christians who shared with me, as well as with the numerous Christians from outside the Vineyard, who were equally generous with their thoughts, energy, and time. This includes the members of the Society of Vineyard Scholars; there can be no better gift for an ethnographer than a group of sharp-minded (and sharp- eyed) intellectuals who belong to the movement being studied! Professor Roy Brooks at the USD School of Law was the first to suggest to me that I might have a career in academics—though I suspect he thought it would be in a different discipline. During my protracted association with it, the University of California, San Diego, anthropology department has provided numerous mentors and colleagues. As for mentors, I am in debt to Suzanne Brenner, Tom Csordas, Jonathan Freedman, Michael Meeker, Steve Parish, David Pedersen, Melford Spiro, and Kathryn Woolard. Colleagues to whom I am indebted include Yoav Arbel, Chris Augsbuger, Sowparnika Balaswaminathan, Waqas Butts, Andrew Cased, Julia Cassaniti, Julien Clement, Jason Danely, William Dawley, John Dulin, Eli Elinoff, Ted Gideonse, Timothy McCajor Hall, Candler Hallman, Jordan Haug, Eric Hoenes del Pineal, Nofit Itzhak, Julia Klimova, Leslie Lewis, Katherine Miller, Marc Moskowitz, Joshua Nordic, Marisa Petersen, Ryan Schram, Greg Simon, Heather Spector Hillman, Allen Tran, Brendon Thornton, Deana Weibel-Swanson, and Leanne Williams. There are others I have shamefully overlooked; forgive me. I finished my dissertation while serving as a wide-eyed, inexperienced visiting assistant professor at Reed College. I don’t want to contribute to the legend of “Olde Reed,” but it was certainly an interesting experience trying to think through the anthropology of Christianity at a school whose unof- ficial motto is “Atheism, Communism, and Free Love.” I’d like to thank ix x / Acknowledgments Doctor Robert Brightman, Rebecca Gordon, Jiang Jing, Anne Lorimer, Tahir Naqvi, Sonia Sabnis, Paul Silverstein, Nina Sylvanus, and Emma Wasserman. -

Tori Gartmond Professor John Abrams the Autism Epidemic
Tori Gartmond Professor John Abrams The Autism Epidemic Abstract Reported cases of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have skyrocketed over the last decade, leaving those afflicted and their families curious as to why. Health care professionals have deemed the rise in ASD an epidemic calling much attention to the autistic community. But is it appropriate to equate autism with some of history’s worst and most deadly pathogens? Autism is a disorder, not a disease that can be spread rapidly through person-person interaction. This rise in prevalence can be explained due to broadened diagnostic criteria, increased awareness, and better diagnostic techniques. In addition, those apart of the autistic community are now being stigmatized by those ill-informed about ASD. Therefore, the term epidemic is very misleading and should not be used to explain the rising number of autism spectrum disorder cases. Many parents raise their children and discover it unusual for their child to be distant and unresponsive to facial expressions or exciting moments; to not be able to express proper emotions to certain situations. As most parents do, they take their child to the doctor for an examination to receive an explanation behind their child’s abnormal behavior. The last thing they were expecting to hear was their child being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, on average, approximately 1 in 88 live births were diagnosed with autism as of 2008 (Baio para 4). As shown in figure one, the rate of autism has increased at an astonishing rate since the 1970s.
