One Hundred Towers: An Italian Odyssey of Cultural Survival by Romanucci-Ross, Lola (1991) Hardcover

When Law and Medicine Meet: A Cultural View (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine)

What happens when two systems, law and medicine, are joined in the arena of the court? This work deals with the structure and the premises of two diverse discourse models; the approach is anthropological. Several chapters are preponderantly based on legal research, addressing cases requiring testimony by expert witnesses on recent technologies used in the laboratories of medical scientists. Descriptions of other societies and cultures consider the identical problems of rights, privileges, and duties, and provide perspectives to cultural self-knowledge. This volume can be used as a text for courses taught in medical schools and law schools. It will be of particular interest to students taking courses in health science, public health, medical anthropology, forensic anthropology, psychology, sociology, public justice, behavioral sciences, forensic psychiatry, legal anthropology, social welfare, as well as courses on research models.

The Anthropology of Medicine: From Culture to Method
( This long-awaited revision of what has now become the c...)
This long-awaited revision of what has now become the classic text in medical anthropology contains a wealth of new material on subjects as diverse as aging, creativity, and ideology. Originally cited in ^IAmerican Anthropologist^R as must reading for all medical anthropologists, physicians, advanced medical anthropology students and advanced medical students, this new edition should prove twice as valuable. It is both a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly growing field of medical anthropology and a state-of-the-art reference work. The authors bring new perspectives to our understanding of both Western and non-Western medicine, from the biochemical and physiological aspects of health care in preindustrialized cultures to cultural and ideological factors inherent in past and present Western medical care. New chapters focus on ethnobotany, placebo and pain, shamanism, and psychiatry. The contributors to this volume examine the acculturation process of healer, physician, and patient in diverse cultural settings. They explore the social and cultural context of medical events as well as the process of medical thought and problem solving. Medicine, they illustrate, embraces or is embraced by both the cultural and biological dimensions of mankind. From this perspective they show how human belief, knowledge, and action structure the experience of disease and affect ways in which doctors, healers, and patients experience illness and influence the matrix of decision making. This book is essential for students and professionals in anthropology, medicine, and all social science.

One Hundred Towers: An Italian Odyssey of Cultural Survival
( This is the fascinating account of the people who live ...)
This is the fascinating account of the people who live in the central Italian city of Ascoli Piceno, city of one hundred towers, and the surrounding villages and hilltowns. Lola Romanucci-Ross describes the long and rich cultural heritage of these people and their strategies for cultural and personal survival from both an insider's and an outsider's perspective. In this innovative book, the author goes beyond the newest approach in anthropology, most frequently called reflexive ethnography, where the anthropologist provides information on the researcher as well as the researched. After years of anthropological research in diverse cultures of the world, Romanucci-Ross returns to the town in Italy where her Italian-American family came from. In Ascoli Piceno she is not only anthropological researcher but also niece and aunt, cousin and daughter; here the professional outsider with the insider's perspective deals effectively with the parallax error inherent in views of observer and observed in the anthropological enterprise. A beautifully written yet scholarly account of a vivid and lively culture, this book is also a groundbreaking approach to the ever-growing effort by anthropologists to overcome the limitations that emerge from the separation between researcher and subjects. Romanucci-Ross focuses on the families, their language, personal and cultural identity, mythic thought, and magical thinking in the negotiation of social and personal identity. Both the general reader and professional anthropologists will find One Hundred Towers a source of stimulating ideas and valuable insight.
