In dance we trust’: Comparing trance-dance parties among secular and Orthodox Israeli youth
Israel is arguably a place where music-centred ‘trance-dance’ parties have attained their highest degree of national/cultural prominence, with these events being extremely popular in secular communities and even among Orthodox youth. Based on findings from ethnographic research, the article compares the core features – settings, participants and conduct – of trance parties for secular and Orthodox Israeli youth and examines the functions they per…
Liminality as biographical disruption: Unclassifiability Following Hormonal Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Advanced Prostate Cancer Patients’ Ways of Coping with the Hormonal Therapy’s Effect on Body, Sexuality, and Spousal Ties
The authors examine the coping strategies employed by advanced prostate cancer patients receiving hormonal therapy to learn from their experience about potential solutions to their nonmedical needs. The study was based on in-depth interviews with 15 such patients and data analysis by the constant comparative method. The main psychosocial difficulties detected were patients’ bodily feminization, sexual dysfunction, and disruption of spousal intima…
Beggars, Metaphors, and Stigma: A Missing Link in the Social History of Leprosy
Students of leprosy stigma are at odds over its sources, intensity, and current presistence. On the basis of a study of leprosy in Thailand that combined an archival survey with anthropological field-work, the present article offers a different thesis on these issues from those that have been proposed thus far. The thesis suggests that prior to the discovery of a cure for the disease, its sufferers encountered ambivalent rather than severly stigm…
The show must go on”: Behind the scenes of elderly spousal caregiving
Internal exclusion of leprosy sufferers: Dual ambivalence and its theoretical implications
Beyond constructionism and pessimism: Theoretical implications of leprosy destigmatisation campaigns in Thailand
Based on a study of leprosy destigmatisation campaigns conducted in Thailand since the 1970s, this article examines the difficulties in their implementation, the extent of their success and the degree to which they are actually needed. The findings indicate that these campaigns are doomed to fail because of problems inherent in any attempt to transmit a normalising message, and also because of stigmatisation derived from the metaphorical use of l…
Flight from leisure: A neglected phenomenon in leisure studies
Family caregivers' leisure nonparticipation is usually considered to be a passive reaction to constraints on leisure rather than active abstention from its pursuit due to problems that the leisure experience itself can evoke. This position, dominating leisure nonparticipation studies in general, is critically examined through a study on elderly spousal caregivers. The research findings indicated that (a) the caregivers perceived leisure as threat…
