Healing Health Care
Older adults' use of complementary and alternative medical therapies to resist biomedicalization of aging
Self-care and complementary and alternative medicine as care for the self
Based on interviews with users of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), this study demonstrates that the use of CAM as self-care is a central means by which embodied expressions of identity are enacted. Binary oppositions between biomedicine and CAM provide users with a discursive framework for pursuing distinction with their self-care choices. The self-care practices of this group of CAM users are conceptualised as an aesthetic project, …
Bourdieu’s Reflexive Sociology as a Theoretical Basis for Mixed Methods Research
Although mixing quantitative and qualitative methods is increasingly popular, there is insufficient theoretical rationale for doing so. Foremost among the legacy left to the social and behavioral sciences by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu stands his emphasis on methodological reflexivity. Reflexive sociology as elaborated by Bourdieu is a self-referential methodology of social research, which turns methods of constructing the research object …
Governing the health of the hybrid self
This paper employs a Foucauldian perspective on the shifting spacialisation of medical knowledge to explore the manner in which integrative medicine is discursively represented by its biomedical architects so as to ensure good cultural fit with neoliberal strategies of governance amid the development of transnational global cultural flows in which human subjectivity has itself hybridized, provoking this reconfiguration of medical knowledge. It is…

Gullible Fools or Desperate Pragmatists? A Profile of People Who Use Rejected Alternative Health Care Providers
A “Great” Large Family
Analysts have taken positions either supporting or attacking multicultural policy, yet there is insufficient research concerning the public policy of multiculturalism as it is understood and practiced in the lives of Canadians. This analysis approaches multiculturalism as a text which is constituent of social relations within Canadian society. Data from the Regina Refugee Research Project are analyzed within Nancy Fraser’s social justice framewor…
