  • Food and Medicine

    Open AccessLili Lai, Judith FarquharARTICLEChinese Medicine and Culture2023

    Drawing on our research in China’s southern mountains about ethnic medicines, and intrigued by the proverbial Chinese view that Yao Shi Tong Yuan (food and medicine have the same source), this article traces the eventfulness and powers at play in healing and eating when they are seen as closely related forms of life. Ancient and modern traditional Chinese medicine understandings of flavor are here shown to be a common basis for the healing and ha…

  • Why Study Asian Medicine

    J S Alter, Judith Farquhar et al.ARTICLEAsian Medicine2021

    Asian Medicine is inaugurating a new type of article in this issue, the editorial forum. For our launch of this new format, an international range of scholars working on Asian medicine across different geographical, temporal, and disciplinary contexts were invited to respond to the question “Why study Asian medicine?” The perspectives they have expressed here reflect their diverse interests, motivations, and career trajectories across the spectru…

  • Bodies of Work

    Edward Slavishak, Edward Steven Slavishak et al.BOOKBodies of Work2020

    By the end of the nineteenth century, Pittsburgh emerged as a major manufacturing center in the United States. Its rise as a leading producer of steel, glass, and coal was fueled by machine technology and mass immigration, developments that fundamentally changed the industrial workplace. Because Pittsburgh’s major industries were almost exclusively male and renowned for their physical demands, the male working body came to symbolize multiple ofte…

  • Translating a title

    Open AccessLiubov Chernysheva, Endre Dányi et al.ARTICLEThe Sociological Review2020

    Present-day academic work is mostly done in English.What happens, or so the contributions to this monograph ask, when we open a few windows, let in some air, and invite elements drawn from other linguistic traditions into our texts?Doing so does not simply mean welcoming other words.Along with this it also changes the conditions, the terms, that stipulate what is, and what is not, good -proper, interesting, international, academic -writing.To exe…

  • Toward knowing

    Open AccessLili Lai, Judith FarquharARTICLEThe Sociological Review2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 20

    This discussion opens with a puzzling statement from the analects of Confucius: When you know it you know it, when you don't know, you don't know. This is knowledge. Reflecting on various Chinese approaches to zhi (知), knowing/knowledge, in this article we re-explore the terrain we two authors covered together in recent research on minority nationality medical systems of southwestern China. Our itineraries drew us near to 'folk' approaches to kno…

  • Knowing Practice

    Judith Farquhar, Judith FarquhctrBOOKKnowing Practice2018

    This book examines the theory and practice of traditional medicine in modern China.

  • The 2017 Basham Medal Lectures

    Angelika C Messner, Geoffrey Samuel et al.ARTICLEAsian Medicine2018

    This report contains three lectures given during acceptance ceremonies by awardees of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine’s prestigious Basham Award. While they concern episodes in the modern history of Japanese medicine, the contemporary medicine of the Yao national minority in China, and ancient Chinese self-cultivation practices, all three engage in deeper reflections on the craft and methods of the histor…

  • Nationality Medicines in China

    Open AccessLili Lai, Judith FarquharARTICLEComparative Studies in Society…2015Citada por: 5Referencias: 21

    This article describes emergent Chinese regimes of knowledge about “minority nationality medicines.” We adopt Weberian terms of rational and charismatic authority to better understand ethnic healing as it is developing among minorities in southwestern China. In the course of uneven development among diverse ethnic groups over recent decades, modern information regimes and institutional models have started to transform the many forms of healing an…

  • Reading Hands

    Judith FarquharARTICLEEast Asian Science Technology and…2014

    Opening with a contrast between the pulse-reading practices of traditional Chinese medicine doctors in clinics and the objective data on pulses provided by the electronic pulsometer, this discussion analyzes the qualitative judgments involved in medical diagnosis and therapy. Working clinicians who discern and classify pathological processes employ a semiotics of qualities to establish the value, or practical and ethical significance, of bodily s…

  • Information and Its Practical Other

    Judith Farquhar, Lili LaiARTICLEEast Asian Science Technology and…2014Citada por: 6Referencias: 6

    This article shows how a newly "salvaged" and "sorted" minority nationality medicine is being rendered as information, while attending to the dynamic emergence of new knowledge. After providing some historical background for the ethnic medicines movement and its Chinese character, we introduce Zhuang nationality medicine. First we consult two leading scholars of Zhuang medicine about history and theory, then turn to the informational and practica…

Drawing on his experiences as a physician and anthropologist in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, Vinh-Kim Nguyen focuses on the period between 1994, when effective antiretroviral treatments for HIV were discovered, and 2000, when the global health community acknowledg…

  • The Park Pass

    Judith FarquharARTICLEPublic Culture2009Citada por: 13

    Many mundane practices of city life in public in Beijing converge on public parks. Focusing on the uses, significance, and powers of the annual park pass, an inexpensive identity card that gives residents free access to the city's well-known and historic parks, I demonstrate some ways in which the "routines and rituals" of state articulate in practice with both a spatial and a nationalist politics of the people. This is not a politics of rebellio…
