The Amchi at the Margins
Introduction. The Indian Face of Sowa Rigpa
Healing at the Periphery
India has long occupied an important place in Tibetan medicine's history and development. However, Indian Himalayan practitioners of Tibetan medicine, or amchi, have largely remained overlooked at the Tibetan medical periphery, despite playing a central social and medical role in their communities. Power and legitimacy, religion and economic development, biomedical encounters and Indian geopolitics all intersect in the work and identities of cont…

Circulation and Governance of Asian Medicine
Regulation Multiple
This article revisits the conceptualisation of pharmaceutical regulation. While States and multilateral organisations play a central part in devising rules, regulation as a social practice extends beyond their role. Domestic and international interests, geopolitics and spatial configurations, commercial and health considerations, governmental policies and individual behaviours and legal and illegal transactions all contribute to regulating the ph…
The Vagaries of Therapeutic Globalization. Fame, Money and Social Relations in Tibetan Medicine
Studies of the international diffusion of Asian medicine tend to overlook the social mechanisms involved in the transnational circulation of therapists. This article, built around the biography of a female practitioner of Tibetan medicine, demonstrates that upward social mobility gained through individual involvement in the NGO sector allows for the mobilization of transnational networks which sometimes offer travel opportunities in return. In th…
Diversion and Globalization in Biomedical Technologies
The intensification of transnational exchanges since the mid-twentieth century has contributed to the global diffusion of biomedical technologies and has shaped their histories in dramatic ways.These technologies became a central medium for a vast array of practices found in medical institutions worldwide, as well as a blurring agent of the boundaries between nature and culture (Lock and Nguyen 2010;Rheinberger 2000).However, technologies such as…
Genealogy and Ambivalence of a Therapeutic Heterodoxy. Islam and Tibetan Medicine in North-western India
This paper examines the case of a Shiite practitioner of Tibetan medicine in Ladakh, North-western India. It recounts the story of a Buddhist family converted to Islam, for which the abandonment of religion has not led to the discontinuation of a lineal medical practice known to have Buddhist overtones. This situation provides an invitation to explore the social consequences of maintaining the practice in a region characterized by religious confl…

Hangover free! The social and material trajectories of PartySmart
This paper presents three embedded episodes in the life of a polyherbal drug indicated as a preventative measure for hangovers. Invented and marketed in 2005 by a leading ayurvedic pharmaceutical company in India, PartySmart is a reformulated compound based on ayurvedic, biomedical and phytochemical sources. This creative process has involved multiple translations, resulting in hybrid pharmacological models, including, for instance, ayurvedic pos…
Pervious Drugs
What makes it possible for ayurvedic pharmaceutical objects to come into being? To answer this question, this paper takes an ontological route in line with local epistemologies, in which the objectness of the thing is itself taken as quite porous and susceptible to circumstances. This approach has much in common with science and technology studies: objects acquire meaning in a specific context, itself embedded in a relational network at a specifi…
Introduction
The Reformulation Regime in Drug Discovery
In so-called traditional medicine in South Asia, substances have not ordinarily been prescribed or consumed in isolation, yet the transformations of compound formulations have been comparatively little studied from any position within anthropology or history. Since the early twentieth century, ayurvedic formulations have often been redesigned to address the biomedical disorders of a new global clientele. This has involved overlapping medical cult…

Industrialiser les médicaments ayurvédiques
Longtemps contenue à l’Europe et aux États-Unis, l’innovation pharmaceutique tient aujourd’hui une place importante en Inde. Cet article s’intéresse aux processus d’innovation de l’industrie ayurvédique comme forme de modernité alternative au paradigme moléculaire de la recherche pharmaceutique qui domine dans les pays du Nord depuis la seconde moitié du xx e siècle. L’Inde propose d’autres voies pour l’innovation pharmaceutique en s’appuyant sur…

Sortir de l'impasse épistémologique. Nouveaux médicaments et savoirs traditionnels
Se démarquer dans l’industrie du bien-être. Transnationalisme, innovation et indianité
L’industrie du bien-être se caractérise à la fois par un fort potentiel d’innovation dans le domaine thérapeutique et par une prétention à l’ancienneté de ces nouvelles thérapies. Cet article propose d’analyser ce paradoxe en étudiant les logiques à l’œuvre dans la construction d’une marque identifiant et distinguant Mango Spa, une chaîne indienne de centres de soins et de remise en forme. Il s’intéresse aux sens et aux implications de l’innovati…
Accentuations et pragmatisme
Depuis le milieu des années 1970, le développement du tourisme saisonnier dans la région himalayenne du Ladakh attire de nombreux étrangers intéressés par la médecine tibétaine. Quelques praticiens aguerris à l'anglais ont saisi cette occasion pour s'adresser directement à cette nouvelle clientèle au travers de consultations cliniques ou de courts exposés publics. Cet article concerne cette manifestation locale de la globalisation thérapeutique. …

Savoirs thérapeutiques asiatiques et globalisation
Les savoirs médicaux traversant les cultures et les frontières, mis en contact par le commerce, les conquêtes, le colonialisme ou le prosélytisme religieux, ils connaissent des histoires croisées, des emprunts réciproques et des échanges dans les domaines de la théorie, des thérapies. L'histoire des traditions savantes moyen-orientales et asiatiques rend bien compte des transferts de connaissances et de la transformations des formes de savoirs th…

Asian therapeutic knowledge and globalization
As medical knowledge crosses cultures and borders, brought into contact by trade, conquest, colonialism or religious proselytism, it is subject to cross-cultural histories, reciprocal borrowings and exchanges in the fields of theory and therapy. The history of Middle Eastern and Asian scholarly traditions provides a good account of the transfer of knowledge and the transformation of the forms of therapeutic knowledge that influence each other.

La pharmacopée comme expression de société. Une étude himalayenne
Ce chapitre vise à dégager la dimension plurielle de la démarche ethnopharmacologique en considérant avec autant d’emphase les caractères biologiques, sociaux et culturels de la pharmacopée. L’argument retenu dans cette étude, conduite sur la médecine tibétaine au Ladakh, montre la matière médicale, et les plantes médicinales en particulier, comme révélateur des changements du monde social et de ses représentations contemporaines, mais également …

Télescopages religieux en médecine tibétaine. Ethnographie d’un praticien musulman
La tradition bouddhique mahāyāna a été déterminante dans la construction historique de la médecine tibétaine. L’éthique en médecine repose sur des fondements bouddhiques et cette religion a notamment fondé une partie de l’épistémologie médicale. Les thérapeutes soulignent l’importance de la dimension morale dans l’acte de soin, dimension qui relève expressément du bouddhisme. Mais ils acceptent aussi l’idée que leur médecine puisse être pratiquée…

Saberes terapeuticos asiaticos y globalización
Como el conocimiento médico cruza culturas y fronteras, puesto en contacto por el comercio, la conquista, el colonialismo o el proselitismo religioso, tiene una historia de fertilización cruzada, préstamos recíprocos e intercambios en los campos de la teoría y la terapia. La historia de las tradiciones eruditas de Oriente Medio y Asia da buena cuenta de la transferencia de conocimientos y la transformación de las formas de conocimiento terapéutic…
