The Embodiment of Symbols and the Acculturation of the Anthropologist
Symbolic systems exist on a number of interpenetrating levels, ranging from the most abstract to the most concrete. All contribute to the maintenance of the system. The most abstract level reflects and gives coherence to a world view. Its language and theory are logically consistent throughout a number of conceptual domains. A middle level of abstraction provides metaphors for reasoning in the mundane world. The most concrete level is direct sens…

The Performance of Healing
The Limits of Magic
This is the case of a Malay shaman who narrowed the scope of her diagnoses to magic, evoking scorn from her colleagues and alarm from rural patients accustomed to a variety of illness etiologies. But she found success as part of a team catering to urban Malays. Her performance satisfied expectations of clients unused to traditional shamanism and set the stage for acceptance of her partner's diagnoses couched in "common sense," educated, urbane la…

Wives and Midwives. Childbirth and Nutrition in Rural Malaysia

Apprenticed to a village midwife and a local shaman, she was able to observe a traditional culture adapting to modern practices
Wives and Midwives
Food ideology and eating behavior
Symbolic and Empirical Reality
Food avoidances have been explained either as fitting into a cognitive system which operates through symbolic logic, or as part of a society's largely unconscious codification of pragmatic strategy. An examination of the Malay humoral system and the concept of bisa shows that pragmatic and symbolic reasoning are not mutually exclusive. On the most abstract level, the strength of the system comes from its internal logic and coherence; on a middle …
