Ordering chaos
The history of public memorials to the collective loss of life related to acts of terrorism is characterised by passionate debate and intense disagreements over what and how to remember. A comparative analysis of the way these memory sites have been created in the United States reveals much about the meaning of the dead and the purpose of remembering. The cases under consideration are the memorials to: the massacres of Native Americans at Wounded…

Organ Wars
Transplantation surgeries contribute to conceptions of the body as a collection of replaceable parts and of the self as distinct from all but its neural locus.

At the Edge of Conquest
The Selling of the Shaman and the Problem of Informant Legitimacy
The involvement of a Peruvian shaman in spiritual tours for foreigners raises questions of authenticity and reliability in anthropological research. The ethnographer's initial sense of betrayal is replaced with an assessment of the anthropological significance of the commercialization of shamanism. When is an informant no longer believable and what responsibility does the ethnographer bear as gatekeeper to public renown

Studies curers' philosophy by analyzing four patient accounts and examining their role in social and gender-based conflicts"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.. - http://www.loc.gov/hlas
