The Threat to the Cosmic Order
Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung is one of the most impressive accomplishments ever created by the human mind, comparable in its artistic vision to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, in its historical proportions to Shakespeare's plays, and in its musical originality to Beethoven's string quartets.

Diagnosis is seen as both an expression and a vehicle of biomedical hegemony, yet it is also a necessary and speculative tool for the identification of and response to suffering in any healing system. Social scientific studies of medicalization and the production of medical knowledge have revealed tremendous controversy within, and factitiousness at the outer parameters of, diagnosable conditions. Yet the ethnographically rich and theoretically complex history of such studies has not yet congealed into a coherent structural critique of the process and broader impli...
