Attentiveness to Nature in Learning Qigong in Norway
This article discusses a style of medical qigong , called “Biyun qigong” 碧雲氣功 (Azure blue clouds qigong ), that has become popular in Norway and Scandinavia. The gathering of health-enhancing “life force” ( qi ) from the environment is a notion at the core of Biyun practice. This notion of qi is, however, largely unknown to most people in Norway. Against this background, the article seeks to explore certain aspects of the recontextualization of B…
Civilising’ Deaf people in Tibet and Inner Mongolia: Governing linguistic, ethnic and bodily difference in China
The People's Republic of China is home to over 20 million d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, many among them belonging to ethnic minorities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in two minority regions, the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, this article comparatively discusses findings on sign language use, education and state welfare policies. The situation in these domains is analysed through the framework of the '…
Når trenger jeg å tilkalle tolk? Forskning om tolking i helsetjenesten: English title: When is it necessary to send for an interpreter? Research on interpreting in the health services
This article is about interpreting in the healthcare sector in Norway. Effective communication between patients and health personnel is vital for the provision of high-quality, patient- centered healthcare services. As Norway, like many other countries, becomes increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, language barriers and cultural misunderstandings present a significant long-term challenge in healthcare. It is now well established that the u…

Our aim is to shed light on recent policies that attempt to break the vicious circle in rural areas in the People’s Republic of China. Drawing on data produced from fieldwork conducted in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, our approach is to explore experiences that households with people …
Disability, poverty and healthcare: Changes in the canji (‘disability’) policies in the history of the People's Republic of China
This chapter aims to provide an overview of the development of disability policy in the history of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It argues that seen in the perspective of the PRC's political history, the new health reform that was launched in 2002 indicates a significant turn in the party-state's disability policy. This recent phase is characterised by a focus on general welfare services, rather than preferential treatments, and reintrodu…
The establishing of Chinese medical concepts in Norwegian acupuncture schools: The Cultural Translation Ofjingluo('circulation Tracts)
Acupuncture and other forms of so-called alternative treatments, originating outside the West, have increasingly become an integrated part of the repertoire of medical practices widely used in health care remote from their places of origin. The main aim of this paper is to elucidate the cultural translation of Chinese medical concepts in a Western, acupuncture setting located far from China. Drawing on material from ethnographic fieldwork in acup…
Learning and Experiencing Chinese Qigong in Norway
This article discusses the reception of Chinese qigong in a Western context by focusing on the learning and experiencing of qigong in Norway. Drawing on ethnographic material from fieldwork among participants of a style of qigong referred to as Biyun medical qigong, I in particular explore the variety of body–mind states that Norwegian qigong students experience. I have differentiated five “stages” of Biyun practice. Using these stages as a frame…
