Against Better Judgment

Akrasia in Anthropological Perspectives

McKearney, P. & Evans, N. H. A. (eds)

Anthropologists have long explained social behaviour as if people always do what they think is best. But what if most of these explanations only work because they are premised upon ignoring what philosophers call 'akrasia' – that is, the possibility that people might act against their better judgment? The contributors to this volume turn an ethnographic lens upon situations in which people seem to act out of line with what they judge, desire and intend.

Living Translation

Language and the Search for Resonance in U.S. Chinese Medicine

Pritzker, S. E.

Integrating theoretical perspectives with carefully grounded ethnographic analyses of everyday interaction and experience, Living Translation examines the worlds of international translators as well as U.S. teachers and students of Chinese medicine, focusing on the transformations that occur as participants engage in a “search for resonance” with foreign terms and concepts. Based on a close examination of heated international debates as well as specific texts, classroom discussions, and interviews with publishers, authors, teachers, and students, Sonya Pritzker demonstrates the “living translation” of Chinese medicine as a process unfolding through interaction, inscription, embodied experience, and clinical practice. By documenting the stream of conversations that together constitute this process, the book thus traces the translation of Chinese medicine from text to practice with an eye towards the social, political, historical, moral, and even personal dimensions involved in the transnational production of knowledge about health, illness, and the body.

Other Worlds, Other Bodies

Embodied Epistemologies and Ethnographies of Healing

Pierini, E., Groisman, A., & Espírito Santo, D. (eds)

This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the “unknown”—be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an “other”—shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.

Parenthood between Generations

Transforming Reproductive Cultures

Pooley, S. & Qureshi, K. (eds)

Parenthood between Generations problematizes linear narratives about the emergence of ‘parenting’ as a dominant ideology. The chapters situate the cross-cutting power of the life-course in specific global historical contexts, so as to examine how reproductive cultures are influenced by demographic change, new technologies, migration and diaspora. Studies of working-class, minority and non-heterosexual families, illegitimacy and adoption shed light on of the diverse ways in which nature, biology, kinship and gender have been understood.
