Walking as “Grounding”
Based upon the view that walking is a highly social act, i.e. "grounding" oneself in the realities, not just the medium of "moving," this paper explores robot-assisted rehabilitation and patients' aspirations concerning it. Fieldwork conducted in rehabilitation hospitals and disability centers in South Korea, reveals that rehabilitative medicine settles uneasily on the notion of neuroplasticity as a theoretical tool to legitimize robot-assisted t…

Development of a Japanese Healthy Diet Index
A novel healthy diet index for dietary quality can be used to assess food intake. After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the Fukushima Health Management Survey collected dietary data using a short-form food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The current study included eligible participants ( n = 64,909) aged 16-84 years who answered the FFQ in 2011. The year- and sex-specific dietary patterns were determined via principal component analysis. …
Dietary pattern changes in Fukushima residents after the Great East Japan Earthquake

Design: Dietary data were collected using a short-form FFQ in annual Fukushima Health Management Survey between 2011 and 2013 after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Year- and sex-specific dieta…
Mortality trends for ischemic heart disease in China
By observing a wide range of areas across China from 1991 to 2009, this paper concludes that the ASDR trend for IHD increased. These trends reflect changes in the Chinese standard of living and lifestyle with diets higher in fat, higher blood lipids and increased body weight
Body and Enhancement Technology
In the 1970s US television series The Six Million Dollar Man, the lead character, Steve Austin, was rebuilt to be "better, stronger, and faster" with the help of the latest technology, after a near-fatal accident.With technological modifications, a man barely alive turned into a bionic man, a cyborg whose physical and cognitive capacities outperformed ordinary human beings.Can we call Steve a human, or a superhuman, or a transhuman?Although Steve…

Join or be excluded from biomedicine? Joins and Post-colonial Korea
This paper discusses re-emergence of Korean medicine(s) in the global context with a focus on a natural drug JOINS, a highly contentious drug regarding its legal status. By following through its life world, the paper contends that the drug is the embodiment of the postcolonial anxiety that crosses the intersections between the aspiring nation and globalizing strategies of the bio-pharmaceutical industry. JOINS is a natural drug prescribed to alle…
Constructing the East-West Boundary
This article presents a case study of a recent controversy over the use of computed tomography (CT) as a diagnostic technology in South Korean hospitals. The controversy occurred in the wake of a series of conflicts in the late twentieth century over the legitimate placement of healing practices, medicinal substances, and medical technologies within Korea's separate "Western Medicine" (WM) and "Korean Medicine" (KM) systems of health care and pha…
The Medicine Cabinet
This is a historical and ethnographic account of the transformation of Korean medical institutions in the context of national identity building. Focusing on the traditional medicine cabinet, the author discusses intraprofessional and interprofessional conflicts between Korean Oriental medicine and Western medicine. During the period under study, practitioners of Korean medicine institutionalized their practice by emulating the forms and instituti…
