Texto completoResumen
The thesis explores the intersection between medicine and religion in the context of colonisation in Korea in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. I will focus on the work of medical missionaries from Europe and North America that pursued perfect cleanliness in body, mind and society, including total abstinence and spiritual cleanliness, by spreading biomedical concept of hygiene. One of the points that I will articulate is the ways in which medicine as a colonising force in its own right worked in the mission field to produce 'the docile bodies of people' in the Foucauldian sense. I will argue that what mission medicine in Korea utilised and relied on for its work was a new concept of cleanliness based on biomedical knowledge, the germ theory, rather than the power of colonisation. It was because mission medicine in Korea often worked without collaborating with direct colonial powers. In this sense, Protestant Christianity and biomedicine shared a common foundation in 'cleanliness.' Consequently, I will try to emphasise the multi-dimensional and multi-directional role of the use of cleanliness as an efficacious tool for control of the body. In relation to the historiography of medicine in Korea, I will argue that Confucianism served the social and cultural control of bodies as a medicalised form and that Christianity tried to replace it by providing new knowledge concerning body, disease, health, and cleanliness. In the same respect, I will explore the historical relationship between the germ theory and missionary medicine in Korea. The germ theories of disease were not simply a new etiology but also an effective cultural implement to change people's lives. Thus, the theories did not simply remain in the realm of medicine but were introduced, disseminated, and applied to all matters relating to the body, including its mental and spiritual aspects, through the concept of cleanliness.

Texto completoResumen
Pela abordagem da história cultural, analisamos visões e políticas em torno dos costumes indígenas com psicoativos (bebidas alcoólicas, estimulantes e alucinógenos), por meio da leitura de tratados produzidos entre meados do século XVI e XVII no mundo hispanoamericano. São histórias sobre os antigos mexicanos e peruanos, bem como sobre seus descendentes, nos vice-reinos da Nova Espanha e Peru. Os costumes com substâncias foram retidos como elementos essenciais da idolatria (a falsa religião dos índios); além de usadas em cerimônias e feitiçarias, algumas plantas e poções seriam inclusive adoradas como divindades. Dividimos os capítulos por contextos e grupos de obras/autores: (i) para o contexto geral de consolidação do império espanhol na América, analisamos o dominicano Bartolomé de las Casas e o jesuíta José de Acosta; (ii) para os tempos dos missionários mendicantes na Nova Espanha do séc. XVI, o franciscano Bernardino de Sahagún e o dominicano Diego Durán; (iii) para a época de auge da extirpação da idolatria no séc. XVII, os curas Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón e Jacinto de la Serna na Nova Espanha, e o jesuíta Pablo Joseph de Arriaga no Peru; (iv) analisamos o cronista indígena peruano Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala na virada dos sécs. XVI-XVII. Outras fontes foram utilizadas, destacando-se os tratados sobre as medicinas dos índios escritos pelos doutores espanhóis Nicolas Monardes, Francisco Hernández e Juan de Cárdenas, assim como de um médico indígena mexicano, Martín de la Cruz. Os principais assuntos discutidos: os juízos de proveito das medicinas que embriagam; os sentidos do vício por meio das substâncias, entre hábito contranatural e veículo para os pecados; a noção de perda do juízo como efeito natural da embriaguez, mas que abre espaço para a intervenção demoníaca; representações dos usos nos sacrifícios, comunhões, feitiçarias, e a idolatria de plantas e poções. Esses assuntos são analisados tendo em vista que a idolatria não informa apenas o estereótipo e o caminho da interdição dos costumes, pois, de outro lado, nomeia os saberes e poderes locais e sua vitalidade, num ambiente de choques, negociações e acomodações político-culturais.From a cultural history point of view, we analyze perceptions and policies over indigenous relation to psycho-actives (alcoholic beverages, stimulants and hallucinogens), based on treatises written from the middle of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century at the Spanish-American world. They are histories about the anciant Mexicans and Peruvians, as well as about their descendents from the vice royalties of New Spain and Peru. In such works, the habits related to psycho-actives were believed to be essential elements of the idolatry (the indigenous false religion); besides being used in ceremonies and sorcery, some plants and potions were also worshipped as divinities. We organize the chapters according to the contexts and groups of document sources/authors: (i) for the general context of the Spanish empire consolidation in America, we analyze the Dominican Bartolomé de las Casas and the Jesuit Joseph de Acosta; (ii) for the New Spain mendicant missionaries times in the 16th century, the Franciscan Bernardino de Sahagún and the Dominican Diego Durán; (iii) from the extirpation of idolatry strongest period in the 17th century, the vicars Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón and Jacinto de la Serna; and (iv) from the turning of the 16th to the 17th century, the Peruvian Indian chronicler Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. Other document sources were also consulted, in particular treatises covering indigenous medicines, like those written by the Spanish physicians Nicolas Monardes, Francisco Hernández and Juan de Cárdenas, and also by an Indian doctor from Mexico, Martín de la Cruz. The main subjects we discuss in the work are: the views of benefits from the medicines that inebriate; the meanings of vice associated to substances, from a non-natural habit to a passport for sins; the notion of going out of mind as a natural consequence of inebriation, but which opens the possibility of demonic intrusion; usage representations in sacrifices, communions, witchcraft, and the idolatry of plants and potions. All those issues are analyzed bearing in mind that idolatry tell us not only about the stereotype and the pathways of habits forbiddance, but also distinguishes the local knowledge and powers, and its vitality, all taking place in an environment of political and cultural clashes, negotiations and accommodations.

Texto completoResumen
Modern psychiatry in the United States emerged at the same time as debate about slavery intensified and dominated public discourse, contributing to dramatic denominational schisms and to the greater visibility of women in the public sphere. as the only institution to accept slaves and free blacks as patients, and to employ slaves as attendants, The Eastern Lunatic Asylum of Williamsburg, Virginia, offers unique insights into the ways in which gender, race and religion transformed psychiatry from an obscure enterprise in the early nineteenth century to a medical specialty with wide-reaching cultural authority by the twentieth century.;Utilizing a variety of sources, including a collection of un-catalogued and largely unexamined papers, this dissertation employs interdisciplinary methods to explore the meaning of interracial medical encounters, and the role of the asylum in promoting rational religion and normalizing domestic violence.;The dissertation begins by examining the life and writings of asylum Superintendent John M. Galt, whose experience at the head of an interracial institution led him to reject proposals for separate institutions for whites and blacks and to promote the cottage system of outpatient care. The following chapter addresses the labor of enslaved attendants, without whom the asylum could not have functioned and for whom moral rectitude and spiritual equality appear to have been the ethical foundation of care-giving. Discussion of ethics and spirituality, in turn, prompts consideration of the role of religion in asylum care. The association of enthusiastic religion with slaves and with abolitionism contributed to the regulation of religious expression as a common feature of asylum medicine. Religious evangelism was viewed by hospital administrators as a symptom of insanity, while religious rationalism was enshrined as normative and, paradoxically, as secular.;Asylum medicine also normalized domestic violence by treating the social problem of violence, from wife beating to the rape of slave women, as the medical pathology of individuals. In so doing, the asylum undermined the religious authority from which many women derived comfort, meaning and purpose; and overemphasized the role of female sexual and reproductive organs as an alleged cause of insanity. Ultimately, the struggle over efforts to contain interracial alliances, women's autonomy and enthusiastic religious expression coalesced in the state's promotion of eugenics in the early twentieth century.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel SuperiorNo presente trabalho buscamos compreender a epidemia de cÃlera morbus na vila de Maranguape no ano de 1862 e como esta foi compreendida pelos sujeitos que compunham os saberes mÃdico e religioso, bem como os usos polÃticos que a epidemia assumiu a partir do olhar dos partidos liberal e conservador. Focamos nosso olhar sobre as aÃÃes dos mÃdicos que fizeram parte da comissÃo de socorros pÃblicos, nos dois sacerdotes que atuaram na vila no perÃodo da doenÃa e na aÃÃo dos administradores pÃblicos. Objetivamos compreender a doenÃa e seus significados a partir de uma leitura mais ampla do que era a vila de Maranguape no ano de 1862, das teorias mÃdicas que norteavam e das respostas dadas pela religiÃo. Para levarmos tal empreendimento a cabo, utilizamos documentos de carÃter variado, tais como: relatÃrios de presidente de provÃncia, cartas enviadas pelos mÃdicos comissionados, correspondÃncias dos sacerdotes e dos membros da cÃmara da vila, leis provinciais, jornais e crÃnicas.
In this study we sought to understand the epidemic of cholera morbus in the village of Maranguape in 1862 and how this was understood by the individuals that comprised the medical and religious knowledge and the political uses that the epidemic has assumed from the look of liberal parties and conservative. We focus our attention on the actions of doctors who took part in the commission of public relief, the two priests who worked in the village during the illness and the action of public administrators. We aim to understand the disease and its meaning from a broader reading than was the village of Maranguape in 1862, the medical theories that guided and the answers given by religion. To bring out such a venture, we use varied character documents such as reports of the provincial president, letters sent by the commissioned doctors, letters of the priests and members of the chamber of the village, provincial laws, newspapers and chronicles.

Previous issue date: 2009Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar as representações femininas produzidas pela Igreja Católica em dois jornais A Cruz e O Apóstolo que circularam no Rio de Janeiro nas décadas de 1860 e 1870. Nesse contexto, o discurso católico proclamava a necessidadede reformar a sociedade brasileira e, para isso, elegeu a mulher a partir da valorização da maternidade como principal agente dessa transformação. A partir do interesse em comum de reforma social e afirmação da maternidade como papel social da mulher, destacamos e analisamos pontos de convergência e divergência entre o discurso católico e o discurso médico-científico. No quadro da produção de novas representações de comportamento moral e social da mulher, destacamos o processo de construção do duplo significado da maternidade, ora privilegiada a partir da dimensão de sua função religioso-moral por parte dos padres, ora tratada como função higiênico-social por parte dos médicos, porém compreendida por ambos como função moral e social da mulher .

Texto completoResumen
This thesis analyzes medical manuals published in England between 1500 and 1770 to trace developing medical understandings and prescriptive approaches to conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. While there have been plenty of books written regarding social and religious changes in the reproductive process during the early modern era, there is a dearth of scholarly work focusing on the medical changes which took place in obstetrics over this period. Early modern England was a time of great change in the field of obstetrics as physicians incorporated newly-discovered knowledge about the male and female body, new fields and tools, and new or revived methods into published obstetrical manuals. As men became more prominent in the birthing chamber, instructions in the manuals began to address these men as well. Overall these changes were brought about by changes in the medical field along with changes in culture and religion and the emergence of print culture and rising literacy rates.

Texto completoResumen
SAMMANFATTNING Syftet med denna litteraturstudie har varit att pröva den antroposofiska rörelsens vetenskaplighet. Jag har då valt att göra detta genom att studera deras medicin, deras bild av människan, deras syn på hälsa, sjukdom samt läkemedel och sedan göra en jämförelse med dagens skolmedicin. Resultatet visar att det föreligger klara skillnader i begreppet vetenskaplighet mellan skolmedicinen och antroposofin. Skillnader som idag inte har överbryggats. Den naturvetenskapliga evidensbaserade medicinen forskar för att få fram mätbara reproducerbara fakta. Antroposoferna talar istället om en andevetenskap vilken alla kan få tillgång till genom att följa den antroposfiska kunskapvägen. Skolmedicinens läkemedel är kemiskt framställda för att påverka processer eller organ i kroppen till det bättre medan antroposoferna hävdar att allt i naturen från människa till sten är besläktat med och påverkar varandra. Utifrån detta sysätt har antroposoferna valt ut vilka växter och metaller som ska användas som läkemedel och de använder sig sedan av en potentieringsprincip och ett rytmiskt skakande i framställningen av läkemedlen, principer vilka skolmedicinen helt förkastar. Ur skolmedicinsk naturvetenskaplig synvinkel är inte antroposofin en vetenskap och har därför inget vetenskapligt värde. Nyckelord: antroposof*, människobild/människosyn, kunskapsväg/utveckling, hälsa och sjukdom/läkekonst/medicn.

Texto completoResumen
Until recent years research into medieval hospitals of England, Scotland and Wales has been a topic that has been somewhat neglected by historians and archaeologists. The majority of work carried out to date has focused on individual institutions, small geographical areas, or specific types of hospital. Whilst many of those studies have been well researched and highly informative, few have provided an insight into regional differences or similarities throughout these three countries. This thesis compares and contrasts a variety of aspects of medieval hospitals, such as the layout of the buildings, the saint(s) to whom they were dedicated, the type of people cared for in them, and the people who founded and ran them, in an attempt to identify any regional patterns that may have existed in medieval times. As the length of period studied spans almost five hundred years, it is possible to examine the changes in development of medieval hospitals. Rising and waning popularity for those saints who were venerated in connection with care for the poor and the sick is tracked throughout the centuries covered in these pages. Likewise, the choices of design for hospital buildings from the 11 th century to the 16th century are explored, along with the changes in the status of founders, and the number, type and gender of staff and inmates during that time frame. Periods of growth and decline in hospitals were apparent, the most notable being the falling number of hospital foundations across most of Britain in the late 13 th century and the early 14th century. This is examined on a regional scale, as well as nationally, with a view to gaining a better understanding of the causes that may have resulted in such a decline.

Texto completoResumen
Nosso eixo temático se desenvolve a partir do questionamento do epíteto de Deusa da Feitiçaria atribuído tardiamente à deidade grega Hekate. A partir do período Clássico em Atenas iniciaram-se críticas às práticas mágico-religiosas cujo objetivo era fazer mal ao inimigo; realizadas por indivíduos (mágoi - magos) os quais também sabiam utilizá-las para a cura, como o uso das phármaka (ervas). O desenvolvimento da Escola de Medicina Hipocrática, no período Clássico, e seus tratados médicos, se configuram como uma das críticas direcionadas aos mágoi e das divindades que evocavam em suas práticas mágicas. Um tratado em especial, Da Doença Sagrada, combate a divinização da epilepsia e as práticas curativas desta enfermidade através da persuasão dos deuses. Platão também teceu críticas aos que ofereciam seus serviços mágicos de porta em porta por uma pequena quantia. Acreditamos que a partir dessas críticas se desenvolveu no imaginário social ateniense a relação entre a deusa grega Hekate e a magia de fazer mal ao inimigo cuja permanência é observada nos dias atuais. Nosso arcabouço teórico constitui-se dos conceitos desenvolvidos pelo filósofo polonês Bronislaw Baczko no verbete imaginação social na Enciclopedia Einaudi.Our main theme is developed from the questioning of the epithet "Goddess of Witchcraft" later attributed to the Greek deity Hecate. From the Classical period in Athens began criticism of magic-religious practices whose aim was to hurt the enemy, held by individuals (magoi - wizards) who also knew how to use them for healing, such as the use of phármaka (herbs). The development of the Hippocratic School of Medicine in the Classical period, and his medical treatises, are configured as one of the criticisms directed at magoi and deities that evoked in their magical practices. A treated particular, The Sacred Disease, the combating of deification of epilepsy and healing practices of this disease by the persuasion of the gods. Plato also made criticism of the magicians who offered their services door to door for a small fee. We believe that from these criticisms developed in the social relationship between the Athenian Greek goddess Hecate and magic to hurt the enemy, whose residence is observed today. Our theoretical framework is made up of the concepts developed by Polish philosopher Bronislaw Baczko social imagination in the entry in the Encyclopedia Einaudi.

Texto completoResumen
Ibn Jumay''s (d. c. 594/1198) commentary on the Canon of Medicine by Ibn Sīnā (d. 428/1037) occupies an important place in the history of medicine for it is the first Canon commentary written by a physician and thus stands at the start of a tradition extending over 500 years. In addition, it is a so-far neglected source for our understanding of mediaeval Islamic medicine. The present thesis analyses the commentary with the aims of (1) determining the methods by which the court physician composed his treatise and (2) understanding why Ibn Jumay' undertook to prepare a commentary on one of the most thorough medical compendia of the middle ages. Chapter One presents the biography of Ibn Jumay', reveals that his religion had little impact on his writings and surveys his library which played a pivotal role in the composition of the commentary. Chapter Two investigates Ibn Jumay''s methodology in the entire commentary; it reveals that with his philological and source-critical methods Ibn Jumay' wanted to establish an authoritative reading of the Canon and to demonstrate the high degree of his erudition. Chapter Three focuses on selected passages in the commentary in form of three case studies. Ibn Jumay''s comments on anatomy/dissection, assorted materia medica and headaches demonstrate the court physician’s reverence for ancient authorities and his quest to revive and refine their teachings. Chapter Four contextualises Ibn Jumay''s methods and agenda by comparing them to those of other relevant scholars of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The thesis concludes by arguing that Ibn Jumay''s commentary was part of his revival of the art of medicine and his attempt to gain power in the medical tradition by attaching his name to one of the greatest scholars of his time — the ra'īs Ibn Sīnā.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis is an examination of the belief and practice of popular magic, specifically related to charmers, in the presbyteries of Haddington and Stirling between the years 1603 and 1688. It is the first study of either locality which concentrates on identifying the difference between charmers and witches, and considers the practice of the former in the broader context of seventeenth-century attitudes towards health and disease of both orthodox medical practitioners and the wider population. The thesis examines charmers and their healing practice in reference to theories of power, popular and elite culture, the church and gender, and reveals new information about seventeenth-century society. The principles and practice of charmers are then compared to orthodox medicine and popular magic, and the recorded healing treatments and rituals have been examined and analysed in close detail. A comparative analysis has been made of the two localities which assesses and contrasts patterns of witchcraft and charming accusation on a parish level. By using evidence contained in kirk records, supplemented by secular court material, it has been shown that all levels of society identified differences between the practice and intent of charmers and witches. Accusation and prosecution of witches was influenced more by local elites, and by elite demonological theories, than accusations of charming. Importantly, the devil was not a feature of charming accusations. Due to the overt nature of charming, differences in its perception and acceptability were highlighted by the less severe penalties which were ordered by the kirk. The dilemma for the church and society was that the church had, to an extent, surrendered its practical healing role with the abandonment of pre-Reformation ritual. The emphasis on personal piety and prayer for the relief of mental and physical suffering did not appear to offer sufficient comfort for the rest of society.

Texto completoResumen
Syftet med uppsatsen var att ta reda på hur trollformler kan överleva flera århundraden. Jag har studerat en formel som botar vrickning eller brott på ben och bygger på ett muntligt berättande. För vidare resultat har jag tagit med historiska skeenden för att kunna se vad som har påverkat dess överlevnad. Jag har även tittat på ritualerna och magin kring boteformeln. Dessutom ifrågasatte jag om besvärjelsen var en magisk eller en religiös handling. Då det finns likheter med andra traditioner som vi för vidare idag för att lättare förstå, t.ex. att man ska spotta tre gånger när en svart katt korsar vägen eller att inte lägga nycklarna på bordet eller att gå under en stege vilket betyder otur. Med hjälp av nedteckningar av boteformeln och andra efterforskningar inom området har jag kommit fram till ett gott resultat. Det sociala och kulturella ligger till grund för att besvärjelsen ska överleva. Vilket kryddas med ett hemlighetsmakeri kring botandet som fångar mångas intresse med sin spänning. Det är en tradition som är förankrad, vilket gör att trollformeln förs vidare.

Goyette, Stefanie Anne. "Indiscriminate Bodies: The Old French Fabliaux in Relation to Thirteenth-Century Medical and Religious Cultures". Thesis, Harvard University, 2012. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10646.
Texto completoResumen
This dissertation examines representations of the body in the Old French fabliaux in order to elucidate these stories’ philosophy (or philosophies) of language and their relationship to religious, medical, and dietetic cultures. An exploration of contemporary discourses referenced in the fabliaux – moral discourses around sex and food, medical and dietetic theories concerning food and animals, and rituals and rites surrounding the living and dying body – demonstrates how these elements shape narrative structure, characters, key objects, and décor. The fabliaux exhibit bodies founded by and coextensive with language, which, particularly in the form of speech, is simultaneously a function of the body. This dissertation shows the fabliaux to be profoundly anchored in the material world, but also aware that the physical and material are affected by language, and subject to transformation by the greater context of twelfth-, thirteenth-, and early fourteenth-century literature in its vernacular and Latin, secular and religious forms. The first chapter provides a critical history of the major questions in fabliaux scholarship through the 1980s, when the field began to undergo a number of important changes. The first part of Chapter 2 pursues the physical body in the fabliaux through pleasures, particularly the sexual and alimentary, while arguing that the stories respond to outside discourses about physical behavior, and that sensual or carnal pleasures and those of language coexist. The second section traces the relationship of spaces – social and domestic, permitted and forbidden – to morality. Analysis of the localization of the body in space indicates that space is essential to the construction of bodies, and may even determine (the perception of) guilt or innocence. The third chapter demonstrates that the humor of many fabliaux depends on anxieties concerning the spatial incursions of death, which mirror the visitations of outside texts. Miracles and superstitions constitute the focus of the fourth chapter, which examines the exploitation of supernatural events by the fabliaux’ human actors. The final chapter shows the importance of dysphemism and polysemy, of audience interpretation, and of the potential dangers of misinterpretation when texts become bodies and bodies become texts.Romance Languages and Literatures

Lawson, Michael David. "Children of a One-Eyed God: Impairment in the Myth and Memory of Medieval Scandinavia". Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2019. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/3538.
Texto completoResumen
Using the lives of impaired individuals catalogued in the Íslendingasögur as a narrative framework, this study examines medieval Scandinavian social views regarding impairment from the ninth to the thirteenth century. Beginning with the myths and legends of the eddic poetry and prose of Iceland, it investigates impairment in Norse pre-Christian belief; demonstrating how myth and memory informed medieval conceptualizations of the body. This thesis counters scholarly assumptions that the impaired were universally marginalized across medieval Europe. It argues that bodily difference, in the Norse world, was only viewed as a limitation when it prevented an individual from fulfilling roles that contributed to their community. As Christianity’s influence spread and northern European powers became more focused on state-building aims, Scandinavian societies also slowly began to transform. Less importance was placed on the community in favor of the individual and policies regarding bodily difference likewise changed; becoming less inclusive toward the impaired.

La thèse retrace l'histoire de la médecine ostéopathique aux Etats-Unis, en Grande-bretagne en France et en Belgique. Partant de sa création par Andrew Taylor Still au XIXe siècle dans le middle-west, on suit d'abord son évolution conceptuelle et académique avant de s'intéresser à son institutionnalisation. Les fondements métaphysiques et transcendantaux de cette médecine manuelle sont mis en perspectives par rapport aux connaissances de l'époque tant aux Etats-Unis qu'en Europe. Nous suivons ensuite son passage sur le vieux continent via l'Angleterre et la France avant d'aborder son développement en Belgique ainsi que son entrée à l'Institut des Sciences de la Motricité de l'U.L.B.

Texto completoResumen
Castration has a long temporal and geographical span. Its origins are unclear, but likely lie in the Ancient Near East around the time of the Secondary Products Revolution and the increase in social complexity of proto-urban societies. Due to the unique social and gender roles created by castrates’ ambiguous sexual state, human castrates were used heavily in strongly hierarchical social structures such as imperial and religious institutions, and were often close to the ruler of an imperial society. This privileged position, though often occupied by slaves, gave castrates enormous power to affect governmental decisions. This often aroused the jealousy and hatred of intact elite males, who were not afforded as open access to the ruler and virulently condemned castrates in historical documents. These attitudes were passed down to the scholars and doctors who began to study castration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, affecting the manner in which castration was studied. Osteometric and anthropometric examinations of castrates were carried out during this period, but the two World Wars and a shift in focus meant that castrate bodies were not studied for nearly eighty years. Recent interest in gender and sexuality in the past has revived interest in castration as a topic, but few studies of castrate remains have occurred. As large numbers of castrates are referenced in historical documents, the lack of castrate skeletons may be due to a lack of recognition of the physical effects of castration on the skeleton. The synthesis and generation of methods for more accurate identification of castrate skeletons was undertaken and the results are presented here to improve the ability to identify castrate skeletons within the archaeological record.

This thesis is about the content and concerns of each of four disciplines pertaining to the field of bioethics: medicine, philosophy, religion and law. Emphasis is put on the human values each reflects in patients' lives. A last chapter is dedicated to patients' narrative in order to bring a practical perspective to the discussions of the previous chapters. The four essential human values interconnecting among the four disciplines are: the patients' need for authority, the need for protection, the existential questioning about the meaning of life, and the fear of death.

Texto completoResumen
A Review of manuscripts written by European explorers and colonists affords the opportunity to develop a clearer understanding both of types of plants employed and their significance in religion and medicine during the 16th to 19th centuries. This paper is a distillation of accounts by thirteen European explorers, written between 1545 until 1861, about Laos and the Lao people in Siam. All of the references to plants and plant use have been extracted for an analysis of which plants European explorers viewed being used traditionally in Laos during this time period and information on how these plants were used and collected. Many of the plants described in the texts were medicinal in nature and some have been examined for modern pharmaceutical use. These pharmaceutical studies have substantiated the effectiveness of historical medicinal plant use. The texts also describe plants that were used in religious ceremonies and that continue to play an important role in Lao culture. Future comparative analysis of these early records with modern day observations of plant use should prove productive in formulating assessments of Traditional Environmental Knowledge loss and the impact of this loss on daily life. Understanding the plants that are important to native Lao in the past can lead to better methods of conservation in the future.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation investigates how Jewish women social scientists relationally established their gendered-racialized subjectivities and theories about race-gender-sexuality-class through their portrayals of black women’s sexuality and family structures in the African Diaspora: the U.S., Brazil, South Africa, Swaziland, and the U.K. The central women in this study: Ellen Hellmann, Ruth Landes, Hilda Kuper, and Ruth Glass, were part of the same “political generation,” born in 1908-1912, coming of age when Jews of European descent experienced an ambivalent and conditional assimilation into whiteness, a form of internal colonization. I demonstrate how each woman’s familial origin point in Europe, parental class and political orientations, were important factors influencing her later personal/professional networks and social science theorizing about women of color. However, other important factors included the national racial context, the political affiliations of her partners, her marital status and her transracial fieldwork experiences. One of the main problems my work addresses is how the internal colonization process in differing nations within the Jewish diaspora differently affected and positioned Jewish social scientists from divergent class and political affiliations. Gendering Aamir Mufti’s primarily male-oriented argument, I demonstrate how Jewish internal divergences serve as an example that highlights the lack of uniformity within any “identity” group, and the ways that minority groups, like Jews, use measures of “abnormal” gender and sexuality, to create internal exiled minorities in order to try to assimilate into the majority colonizing culture. My dissertation addresses three problems within previous studies of Jewish social scientists by creating a gendered analysis of the history of Jews in social science, an analysis of Jewish subjectivity within histories of women (who were Jewish) in social science, and a critique of the either-or assumption that Jewishness necessarily equated with a “radical” anti-racist approach or a “colonizing” stance toward black communities. The data collection followed a mixed methods approach, incorporating archival research, ethnographic object analysis, site visits in Brazil and South Africa, consultations with library, archive and museum professionals, and interviews with scholars connected to the core women in the study.

Gotting, Fay Jacqueline. "History of medicine in Qatar". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1995. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7224/.
Texto completoResumen
This Thesis is concerned with the history of health care and medicine in the State of Qatar. I have traced its evolution from the first man, through to the presence of Islam until oil was discovered in 1939. I then continued with close personal interest to follow the development of health and medicine in the more recent "post-oil discovery" years, in particular the last decade when Qatar matches its health and medical care with the pre-eminent services of the Arabian Gulf region (Gulf Co-operation States) and the world. The historical, cultural and political events that influenced development in the Arabian Peninsula have been many and varied causing intriguing shifts in the evolution of health practice in medicine. Traditional medicine traversed the trade routes, Islamic medical practices became firmly rooted in the Arabian Peninsula and oil wealth in the latter years empowered the Gulf States as significant buyers of modern medical technology and manpower. This thesis is organised in logical sequence with early chapters concentrating on primitive, ancient history and the pre-Islamic period. Relevant anthropological, archaeological, cultural and historical information has been outlined and analysed in the early chapters, in an attempt to identify the significant influences on the health and medical practices of the times. Plausible theories and conclusions were sought on health practices and medicine; however, a dearth of factual information necessitated some speculation on how tribal medicine and health practices were derived and disseminated throughout the region. Less speculation was necessary for the Islamic era. Islam was widespread with the daily lives and cultural practices of Muslims strictly controlled; particularly in terms of morality, marriage, dress, health and hygiene. Certain chapters describe the significant contribution of Islamic medicine to the development of medicine in general and review the impact of Islam on health practices within the Muslim society of the Arabian Peninsula including Qatar. The Arabs themselves had a profound effect on the medicine of the world, with their translations from Greek to Arabic and other languages. The remaining chapters look closely at contemporary Arab society in Qatar, from the discovery of oil to the present day.

Texto completoResumen
This study examines the development of theories of civil religion in Hanoverian Britain. In the aftermath of the seventeenth-century wars of religion, theorists of civil religion sought to render Protestant Christianity a faith whose ecclesiology was compatible with the civil state and whose practice encouraged civilised society. It presents lay thinkers including Anthony Ashley Cooper, third earl of Shaftesbury, John Trenchard, Thomas Gordon, Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke, Edward Gibbon, and David Hume, alongside clergymen such as Edmund Gibson, bishop of London, William Warburton, bishop of Gloucester, and Conyers Middleton. It considers such Dissenters as Joseph Priestley and Richard Price, who refashioned civil religion variously along Unitarian and congregational lines. In contrast to the usual scholarly preoccupation with the argument of Jean-Jacques Rousseau that Christianity could never become a civil religion, this study demonstrates how Hanoverian intellectuals constructed a Christian civil religion. They sought to purge the civil state and society of superstition, priestcraft, and enthusiasm by creating a religion of virtue, sociability, and happiness. They drew on the church-state relationship generated during the ‘long Reformation’ in England and Scotland by which the secular civil magistrate governed the national church and regulated its priests, who were to preach the simple morality of the gospel. Hanoverian theorists of civil religion synthesised primitive Christianity with the ancient civil religions, relying above all on Cicero. Irrespective of their inward views about the normative truths of the articles of faith of the churches of England and Scotland, civil religionists sought to reconcile them with civil ends. They believed that outward observance of the Reformed religion was a criterion for belonging within the Christian commonwealth of Hanoverian Britain.

Texto completoResumen
This study describes the religious content of the Ciceronian corpus and reappraises Cicero’s religious stance. Chapter 1 develops a working definition of religion in terms of interested supernatural agents, briefly situating it within the historiography of religion. Support for this definition from scholars in a range of academic disciplines is demonstrated. It is then engaged in Chapter 2 as a tool with which to locate and classify religious material in the Ciceronian corpus, approaching the texts genre by genre and indicating certain difficulties encountered when seeking to divide the religious from the non-religious. Religion in Cicero now defined, Chapter 3 considers the limitations in scope and methodology of previous research on the topic, arguing that these limitations call for a new approach but also suggest how it should proceed. The corpus must be considered as a whole, with twin objectives: to describe and account for conflicting religious viewpoints within and between individual works, and to establish whether a coherent authorial religious position exists. Cicero generally presents religion as beneficial to society, but never expressly sets out to elucidate the reasoning behind this recurrent proposition or collects in one place those beliefs and practices that are repeatedly advocated. Chapter 4 combines disparate Ciceronian material to show how social utility is thought to accrue and how it is predicated upon a surprisingly large and specific body of religious doctrine. This doctrine amounts to a dominant religious ideology; its operation in practice and its substantial resemblance to Roman orthodoxy are illustrated in Chapter 5, a case study on Cicero’s use of religious rhetoric in connection with the Catilinarian conspiracy. Chapter 6 details the similarities and many conflicts between the dominant religious ideology and the religious viewpoints of the Stoics, Epicureans and Philonian Academics as each school is portrayed by Cicero. Finally, Chapter 7 argues that a coherent authorial attitude to religion is present, which maps closely onto the dominant religious ideology and is characterized by a consistent and spirited endorsement of traditional Roman religion in full awareness of competing rational arguments from Greek philosophy. Some possible explanations for this attitude conclude the study.The Classics

Texto completoResumen
Early modern historians often frame ‘religion’ and ‘medicine’ as distinct categories of experience and conduct. They have also suggested that religious responses to illness were steadily supplanted by medical interventions during the period. This study calls these assumptions into question. Focusing on the regions of Yorkshire and Essex between approximately 1580 and 1720, it argues that religious beliefs and practices comprised an integral part of medical work, from household physic to the pursuits of university-trained physicians. It demonstrates that tending to the sick body was a religious as well as a medical act, couched in notions of divine favour, Christian duty and Christian charity. Moreover, in an age of profound and contested religious change, a sense of confessional identity shaped people’s medical behaviour in a number of ways. In particular, this study highlights how the exigencies of sickness and its treatment could have paradoxical outcomes, at times working to bolster a sense of religious distinctions, whilst at others working to foster forms of confessional coexistence. In the light of these complexities, this study resists the current tendency to draw schematic correlations between a person’s religious identity and their medical conduct. The thesis is divided into five chapters, each looking at healing practices from a different perspective, starting in the household, and steadily moving out into the wider community. Lay and qualified healers; the dynamics between practitioners and their clients; the treatment of ‘virtuous’ sufferers; and medical charity are all examined. How such practices fared in tense religio-political contexts will also be considered. By examining these issues I hope to shed fresh light on the ways in which medical practices were embedded in social relations and community experiences; and begin to unravel some of the complex channels through which confessional identity was experienced and expressed in relation to healing. Furthermore, this research highlights that religious beliefs and practices did not simply coexist alongside medicine, or provide alternatives to medicine, but rather, operated at its very heart. This requires us to think more carefully about the language we use to talk about things that were related in such extraordinarily subtle ways in the past. The very phrase ‘religion and medicine’ is problematic, since the two subjects are presented as separate spheres of activity. Adopting terms like ‘religion in, or as, medicine’, and vice versa, would provide more useful frames of reference. Employing the more expansive term ‘healing’ is equally helpful, since it constitutes something central to medical practice, as well as something deeply rooted in religious tradition.

Gillaspie, Joel Martin. "Henry VIII: Supremacy, Religion, And The Anabaptists". DigitalCommons@USU, 2008. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/204.
Texto completoResumen
In 1534, the English Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy. This effectively stripped all of the authority the Pope held in England and gave it to Henry VIII. Also because of the Act of Supremacy Henry VIII gained a new title: Supreme Head of the Church of England. However, there was a problem. The Act of Supremacy only vaguely defined the new powers that had been given to the King. Consequently, what exactly his new powers were and their limits had to be established. The other issue that had to be dealt with was the establishment of the canons of the Church of England. It was a new church with no canons or rules in place other then the establishment of Henry VIII as Supreme Head of the Church of England The purpose of this thesis is to explore the use of Anabaptists and Sacramentaries in the formulation of the doctrine of the Church of England and the expansion of Henry VIII's power as Supreme Head of the Church of England. Henry was able to use the Anabaptists and Sacramentaries because they posed no real threat to the state but were easy tools to be manipulated. The main documents that will be dealt with are the November 1538 Royal Proclamation Prohibiting Unlicensed Printing of Scripture, Exiling Anabaptists, Depriving Married Clergy, Removing St. Thomas à Becket from Calendar, the trial of John Lambert, and the February 1539 Royal Proclamation Prescribing Rites and Ceremonies, Pardoning Anabaptists.

Texto completoResumen
The development of early Mormon religion is best viewed in the context of multiple discourses, each of which contained various competing symbols. These discourses shaped the mind and world-view of early Latter-day Saints and determined in part their behavior. Prophetic symbols existed simultaneously with other, more American symbols; and while neither discourse excluded the other, a prophetic discourse gradually came to dominate. At the same time, however, the American discourse in Mormon religion remained intact and continued to influence the behavior and actions of early Mormons.

Texto completoResumen
The following thesis is an examination of the underlying reasons for the re-establishment of the cult of the Arval Brothers under Augustus, the first Roman Emperor (31 BC-AD14). It aims to prove that the re-foundation of this archaic Roman cult fits within the parameters of Augustus' religious, as well as political reforms after the victory at Actium in 31 BC. Moreover, it seeks to determine the reasons behind the choice of this particular cult. Although Augustus had significantly reduced the number of men in the Senate, there was still a bottleneck for the few major political offices available. Thus, he decided to give out priesthoods as thanks to his loyal supporters, and to reward those that had crossed over to his side. The members of the brotherhood in 21 BC are highly prominent men both militarily and politically, and this shows that Augustus wanted to solidify his support among the members of the aristocracy.La présente thèse est une examination des raisons sous-jacentes du rétablissement du culte des Frères Arvales sous Auguste, le premier empereur Romain (31av. J.-C.-14 de notre ère). Elle propose de prouver que le rétablissement de ce culte romain archaïque s'accorde avec les paramètres des réformes politique et religieuse suivant la victoire à Actium en 31 av. J.-C. De plus, elle cherche à déterminer les raisons derrière le choix de ce culte en particulier. Malgré qu'Auguste avait réduit le nombre d'hommes siégeant au Sénat, il y avait toujours une route étroite menant aux offices les plus prestigieuses. Donc, il octroya des prêtrises pour remercier ses supporteurs et pour récompenser ceux qui avaient choisi de changer de camp. Les membres de la fraternité des Frères Arvales en 21 av. J.-C. sont des hommes très proéminent dans les domains de la politique ainsi que dans l'armée, et ceci démontre qu'Auguste voulait solidifier l'appui des membres de l'aristocracie.

Texto completoResumen
In the mid-seventeenth century Exeter was the foremost city in the south west, with a population of about 10,000. Its economy was founded chiefly on the wool and cloth trades. Exeter's geographical pOSition made it an ideal distribution point for goods going to and coming from the continent, but it was also an important area for the finishing processes of the cloth industry. The city'S wealthiest inhabitants were mostly merchants who dominated Exeter politically through membership of the Corporation. The penetration of puritanism in the late Elizabethan and early Stuart era, a long history of conflict between the Corporation and the Cathedral clergy, as well as of hostility to the policies of Charles I during the 11 years 'tyranny', were among the main reasons which led the city to side with Parliament at the beginning of the civil war. In 1643 after some fierce fighting it surendered to the Royalists and was held by them until 1646 when Parliament'S forces led by Sir Thomas Fairfax recaptured it. The presence of a garrison was increasingly resented after 1647, and the presbyterian majority in the Corporation gradually lost faith in governments in the 1650s without ever openly resisting them. The threat of a continuance of military government and the collapse of trade in 1659-1660 was enough to ensure that the return of Charles II was generally welcomed.

HistoryPh.D.
This dissertation is a study of how religion is manufactured, policed, imagined, and defended in the modern United States. It traces the history of one group, MOVE, from its inception in the late 1960s to the present in order to illustrate how the category of religion functions in the modern United States. The central premise of the book is that MOVE people believed MOVE was a religion. They believed, nearly from the very beginning of the group, that John Africa was a prophet who communicated on behalf of the divine, that his Teachings were inspired and had supernatural effects on the body, and that MOVE people had a role to play in a cosmic conflict between forces of good (The Law of Mama) and forces of evil (The System). Despite this, MOVE was rarely allowed to be a religion. That is, MOVE’s claim that they had a religion was, more often than not, dismissed. Historians of religion have, in recent years, begun turning their attention to the people with the power to define lived experience as either religious or secular. In MOVE’s case, the people who defined their experience as secular, and not religious, included police officers, judges, journalists, established religious leaders, and politicians. At various points throughout MOVE’s history, these social actors articulated a series of claims about what “true religion” was and why MOVE did not count. The disconnect between how MOVE people viewed themselves and how MOVE was understood by most outside the group points to the central concern of this dissertation.

Scott, John Thomas. "James McGready: Son of Thunder, Father of the Great Revival". W&M ScholarWorks, 1991. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/etd/1539623808.
Texto completoResumen
This dissertation is a biography of James McGready (c.1760-1817), a Presbyterian revivalist minister who lived and worked primarily in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana. He is best known as the Father of the Great Revival, an evangelical revival that spread throughout the southeastern United States between 1800 and 1805, and the creator of the camp meeting, which soon became an institutional part of American revivalism. Historians have generally described McGready as an innovator in matters of doctrine and revivalist methodology. This study argues that McGready is better understood as a traditionalist. This interpretation follows several recent works that have outlined a Scottish and Scotch-Irish Presbyterian revivalist tradition dating from the 1620s.;The study traces McGready's educational background, outlines a variety of his theological positions, describes his intense homiletical style, and details his professional career. Research revealed that McGready was educated in several small Presbyterian-run schools that had direct links to the Presbyterian revivalism mentioned above. In doctrine, an examination of such varied topics as the process of conversion, limited atonement and predestination, and millennialism, showed McGready to be a firm Presbyterian Calvinist at every turn. In his homiletical style McGready followed a one hundred and fifty year old pattern of preaching known as the plain style and avoided the unstructured, extemporaneous preaching increasingly favored by revivalists in the nineteenth century. During his professional career, and especially during the Cumberland controversy of 1805-1809, McGready sided with the mainline church and eschewed those with schismatic inclinations.;The reinterpretation of McGready as a traditionalist casts doubt on much of the historiography of American revivalism. Historians have generally argued that revivalism arose in America and especially on the frontier. Understanding McGready, one of the foremost revivalists of the period, as a traditionalist tends to undermine that position. Additionally, this work re-emphasizes the transference of European forms to the New World, even past the American Revolution. Finally, McGready's professional struggles point up the remarkable fluidity in American religion during the early national period.

In 1978, James Dobson, psychologist and founder of the conservative evangelical group Focus on the Family, Inc., published Preparing for Adolescence: Advice from One of America's Foremost Family Psychologists on How to Survive the Coming Years of Change. Over the next twenty years Dobson's pocket-sized advice manual went on to sell over a million copies and symbolized the desire of white conservative evangelicals to control the moral and social development of adolescents---and in turn the nation. During the same period, black conservative evangelicals were engaged in a separate yet equally vocal struggle to support adolescents and their families against generations-old stereotypes of sexual deviance. Despite their differing goals, both white and black conservative evangelicals viewed the education of young people as critical to the health and influence of their respective communities. Remarkably, however, young peoples' lived experience is rarely studied as a distinct field within American religious history and studies. Moreover, historians often exclude conservative black evangelicals from studies of evangelical Christianity and instead subsume them under the generic and artificial grouping of "The Black Church." This dissertation critically analyzes how conservative evangelicals understood the relationship between sexuality, gender and race in the development of adolescent sex education and ethical leadership. I argue that the critical factoring distinguishing the two groups was not politics, but diverging ideas of American citizenship. Moreover, this project reclaims evangelicalism as a theological identity rather than a political one and illustrates the symbiotic relationship between faith, the human body, and notions of belonging.

Texto completoResumen
Machiavelli&rsquos uniqueness and originality renders his educational direction as pertinent for times and conditions that are similar to and prevalent in ours. On the grand scale, his thought process disrupts the classical sense of philosophy, metaphysics, and religion. This disruption of the classical Western consciousness is an aim in the contemporary realm of political thought, which, starting with the extensive criticism of modernity found in the works of Nietzsche, has been developed in the realm of political thought throughout the twentieth and onto the twenty-first century. Therefore, Machiavelli &ndash
who lived 500 years ago &ndash
is nevertheless the source for productive knowledge, analysis, and prognosis for the contemporary political crisis, a crisis due to the downfall of modernity. The presupposition of latter-day modernity, as being considered the best of all possible worlds, is no longer believable. Modernity, what was once considered as being utterly unique and superior in human history, is responded to today by critiques on class domination, Western imperialism, the dissolution of community and tradition, the rise of alienation, and the impersonality of bureaucratic power. Machiavelli supplants the dominant modern consciousness through being a source for a new artistic revolution, a revolution of consciousness through a humane call for strength in facing reality, in order to re-constitute a divergent set of epistemological and ontological discoveries, which are better aligned to the condition of the present-day than those formulated by the dominant Western modern consciousness.
