Mellem sundhed og sygdom
"For a couple of years in this period, there was a true physician in Præstø as Jens Kofod practised here from 1792 until 1794 when he became a medical officer of health and Præstø had to be content with a surgeon as before.". This quote is taken from one of the principal works of the Danish history of medicine, published in 1873 by physician and medicine historian J V C Ingerslev, and it constitutes the starting point of Birgitte Rørbye's study of how the Danish medical profession of physicians through a couple of centuries have been able to construct an authoritative narrative of themselves as the 'true physicians' of the Danish public health service. By means of a narrative cultural s...
Narrating, Doing, Experinecing
How do people tell of experiences, things and events that mean a lot to them and are unforgettable? Eight Nordic folklorists here examine personal experience stories and the way they are narrated in an attempt to gain an understanding of the people behind them and to reveal how these people handle their history, their lives and their cultural memory. All the articles are based on interviews and narrator-researcher collaboration. The stories tell about birth, sickness and miraculous cures, intergenerational relations, war, and matters not normally talked about. The analyses complement one another and the work may be used as a university course book.

Peasants, Pilgrims, and Sacred Promises
Lying on the border between eastern and western Christendom, Orthodox Karelia preserved its unique religious culture into the 19th and 20th centuries, when it was described and recorded by Finnish and Karelian folklore collectors. This colorful array of ritulas and beliefs involving nature spirits, saints, the dead, and pilgrimage to monasteries represented a unigue fusion of official Church ritual and doctrine and pre-Christian ethnic folk belief. This book undertakes a fascinating exploration into many aspects of Orthodox Karelian ritual life: beliefs in supernatural forces, folk models of illness, body concepts, divination, holy icons, the role of the ritual specialist and healer, the divide between nature and culture, images of forest, the cult of the dead, and the popular image of monasteries and holy hermits. It will appeal to anyone interested in popular religion, the cognitive study of religion, ritual studies, medical anthropology, and the folk traditions and symbolism of the Balto-Finnic peoples.
Remedies and Rituals
Spells are conjured, herbs collected, and potions concocted in this fascinating history of the practices and beliefs of Norway's folk healers at home and in the New Land.

Hverdagen med demens. Billeddannelser og hverdagserfaringer i kulturgerontologisk perspektiv
Demens er ikke ensbetydende med et totalt menneskeligt forfald, og der er derfor behov for et humanistisk syn på lidelsen. "Hverdagen med demens" er Christine E. Swanes ph.d.-afhandling fra 1996. Afhandlingen, som blev udarbejdet i 1992-95, gør op med tidens stereotype og negative blik på demenslidelsen. Den indeholder en række interviews med mennesker med demens, pårørende og en lang række sundhedsprofessionelle samt analyser og metodiske overvejelser, bl.a. om hverdagslivsfilosofi og humanistisk gerontologi. Afhandlingen blev senere omarbejdet til den populære bog "Skyggen af en hverdag. Mennesket og lidelsen ved demens" (1998). Christine E. Swane (f. 1960) er mag.art. i kultursoci...
Ordene mellem os. Folkloristiske fortolkninger om alderdom
I ”Ordene mellem os” undersøger etnolog Anne Leonora Blaakilde de mange forskellige måder, man i dag og gennem historien har set på alderdom. Vi møder ældre mennesker, som fortæller om deres egne erfaringer med det at blive gammel og at blive set på på en ny måde – både af samfundet, af ens nærmeste og af en selv. Bogen blev oprindeligt skrevet som ph.d.-afhandling og beskæftiger sig både med begrebet gerontologi – læren om aldring, folklore og synet på ældre mennesker. Den udkom første gang i 1998. Anne Leonora Blaakilde (f. 1961) er en dansk forfatter, yogainstruktør og lektor ved RUC. Hun er ph.d. i etnologi og forsker særligt i aldring og humanistisk sundhedsforskning ved Tværfaglige Sundhedsstudier ved RUC. Hun står både bag udgivelser, der henvender sig til fagfolk, og bøger skrevet til lægmand.
The Familial Occult
The Familial Occult addresses the presence of occult experiences in some scholars' families and how that has affected their epistemological and ontological worlds, as well as their identities as scholars. Those with backgrounds in the familial occult often experience a series of conflicting relationships and different ways of interacting with binaries such as the subjective and objective, a powerful conceptual couple still governing academic thinking. While much has been written on encountering the occult in fieldwork or becoming an apprentice in an occult practice, little yet has been published in the academic literature about growing up with the occult.
