ANTHROPOLOGY MODULEAnthropology of health, illness and treatmentModule Coordinator: Borut TelbanThe module will provide students with:1. A series of courses (lectures and seminars) that will deepen students’knowledge of medical anthropology;2. Specialized themes chosen by the lecturers that will be organized aroundtheir current research.Medical anthropology has become an important field of social and culturalanthropology. It deals with concepts used by people in different cultural and socialenvironments to understand and discuss health, illness and treatments. It covers allkinds of medical care, the ideas and behaviour of health workers in different culturalarenas, including hospitals in technologically advanced societies. Medicalanthropology compares complex beliefs, practices and ideologies, which are the basisfor both biomedical systems and culturally conditioned medical systems. It looks atthe relationship between “healthy” populations and those regarded as “sick” or“handicapped”, and the cultural and social patterns that define the role of the sick.Within a historical-cultural context, medical anthropology seeks to understandpeople’s construction of otherness as a foundation for the relationship with the sick.It analyses local moral worlds that determine these kinds of relationships. It alsolooks at the uses and abuses of new technological developments in medicine andtheir impact on different communities.The lecturers will guide students with critical thinking concerning topical socialissues:• Does development in biomedical technology enrich some and impoverishothers?• Medical pluralism, reproductive technologies, organ and tissue transplants,the new genetics and genomics.• How should psychiatric conditions, including culture-bound syndromes, beunderstood in a historical, epistemological and evolutionary sense?• Body image and the interpretation of symptoms.• What are the main differences in people’s attitude towards illness and deathin different cultural, historical and social contexts?• Fertility and mortality in relation to migration.• Do religions influence health and how they define it?• Morality and ethics in biomedicine and ethnomedicine.Students will be involved in ongoing research projects and will be required to do theirown fieldwork as an inseparable part of their graduate course.Participants in the module:Margaret Lock (McGill University, Montreal), Allan Young (McGill University,Montreal), Duška Kneževič (SRC-SASA, Ljubljana), Gilbert Lewis (CambridgeUniversity, Cambridge), Cecil Helman (Brunel University, Uxbridge), Borut Telban(SRC-SASA, Ljubljana), Majda Černič Istenič (SRC-SASA, Ljubljana), Verena Keck(University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg), Barbara Potrata (The School of HealthcareStudies, University of Leeds, Leeds).
