The Taste for Knowledge
The Taste for Knowledge: Medical Anthropology Facing Medical Realities demonstrates how medical anthropology is becoming increasingly important in the fields of medical research and public health. The authors examine some of the major issues in medical anthropology today. In this volume, a group of international researchers reflect, for example, on: the way anthropology faces and deals with interdisciplinarity in its encounter with medicine and doctors; the new medical realities and patient strategies that exist in changing medical systems; and the interactions between practice, power and science. The book will appeal to clinicians/practitioners, anthropologists in general, and all those engaged in the interface between medicine and anthropology, but will also be a valuable tool for students of medicine and anthropology who have a special interest in the social realities and interdisciplinarity of health and illness.
Of Bodies and Symptoms
The question of the social treatment of the body and its transformations emerges in relation to issues of varying types (economic, therapeutic, ideological, cultural, aesthetic,commercial, technical). This book examines the various ways of managing bodily symptoms or transformations and the social stakes and systems of knowledge which relate to them, both on the medical and social level. The contributions provide analyses that concern a broad range of countries. Through the themes it tackles and the subjects it examines, this book reveals both the universal nature of the questions it asks, and the evolution of the objects and approaches of anthropology itself.
Het Deense meisje
David Ebershoff vindt op een dag in de bibliotheek het dagboek van Lili Elbe, een Deense vrouw, geschreven tijdens haar ziekbed in de vrouwenkliniek van Dresden. Ebershoff raakt geboeid door deze tragische heldin, de eerste transseksueel ter wereld, en herschrijft haar vergeten geschiedenis tot een indrukwekkende roman. Dit is het verhaal van Lili en van haar vrouw, die van hem - en van haar - zou blijven houden. Het Deense meisje is verfilmd met Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything), Alicia Vikander (Anna Karenina) en Matthias Schoenaerts (Far From the Madding Crowd en The Drop). Regie is in handen van Tom Hooper, bekend van Les Misérables en The King's Speech.

Verortet: Kirche und Liturgie im Wandel
Menschen machen mit verschiedenen Formangeboten der Kirche vielfältige Erfahrungen. Die Analyse dieser unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen wird durch die Beschäftigung mit einer empirisch orientierten Liturgiewissenschaft und durch die Bearbeitung von Theorien des Ortes und des Raumes ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise gelingt es, eine Analyse der Rezeption der Reform des gottesdienstlichen Lebens der Norwegischen Kirche in einem bestimmten urbanen Setting mit übergeordneten, prinzipiellen Fragen der Kirchentheorie zu verbinden. Gerade die (entscheidend von den empirischen Analysen angeleitete) Reflexion und Neuformatierung des Begriffes der Ortseigenheit/Ver-Ortung, der in der Reform an zentraler Stelle steht, ermöglicht, Ortseigenheit/Ver-Ortung eben nicht nur auf den konkreten Kontext hin zu sehen und zu verstehen, sondern vielmehr Verortung als theoretische Herausforderung für das Begreifen von Gottesdienst und Kirche überhaupt zu fassen.
