Health, Culture and Society
This book traces the history of formative, enduring concepts, foundational in the development of the health disciplines. It explores existing literature, and subsequent contested applications. Feminist legacies are discussed with a clear message that early sociological and anthropological theories and debates remain valuable to scholars today. Chapters cover historical events and cultural practices from the standpoint of ‘difference’; formulate theories about the emergence of social issues and problems and discuss health and illness in light of cultural values and practices, social conditions, embodiment and emotions. This collection will be of great value to scholars of biomedicine, health and gender.
Home and Sexuality
This book explores the meanings and experiences of home among a group of lesbians who over the past five decades have sought to create alternative intimate and public living spaces. The protagonists who enact the ethnographic narrative are a small group of older lesbians, mainly feminist activists, residing in the metropolis of London. The meaning of home and domestic space emerges from unique life histories informed by the wider social and political context, and moves from the earliest memories of their childhood kitchens to their contemporary domestic lives. Leaping from the radical lesbian feminist collectives and squats of the 1980s to the ordinariness of home life, the kitchen emerged a...
Global Handbook of Health Promotion Research, Vol. 1
While research teams are producing relevant and valid knowledge for health promotion, there is not yet a structured manual and distinct field of health promotion research. This timely "state-of-the-art" handbook contributes to the structuring of such a field of research. This collection of original contributions explores the major epistemological, methodological, and ethical challenges facing health promotion research. It brings together experts from different "research traditions" that coexist in the field. The handbook covers the existing knowledge production and sharing practices to delineate the "discipline" and its agenda for future research. Ultimately, it contributes to the creation o...
Decolonising Education in Islamic West Africa
This book uses perceptions and experiences of Qur’anic schools in West Africa to outline a much-needed postsecular approach, reconsidering the place of Islamic education within African decolonial debates about educational pluralism, and the contributions of religious perspectives in academic and international development spaces. Decolonial theory is used to overcome the challenges of problematic Eurocentric and colonialist stereotypes about religious actors and faith-based schools which persist within international education scholarship and global policy agendas. Through fine-grained ethnography, chapters discuss how parents and young people today engage with classical Qur’anic schools, ...
Handbook of Social Sciences and Global Public Health
This handbook highlights the relevance of the social sciences in global public health and their significantly crucial role in the explanation of health and illness in different population groups, the improvement of health, and the prevention of illnesses around the world. Knowledge generated via social science theories and research methodologies allows healthcare providers, policy-makers, and politicians to understand and appreciate the lived experience of their people, and to provide sensitive health and social care to them at a time of most need. Social sciences, such as medical sociology, medical anthropology, social psychology, and public health are the disciplines that examine the socio...
¿Puede la publicidad ser feminista?
Este texto está dedicado a la femvertising o publicidad feminista. Realiza un recorrido por sus orígenes y por los elementos que la componen para visibilizar las debilidades y fortalezas de un paradigma que, bien utilizado, puede ser útil desde el punto de vista social. ¿Y si la femvertising fuera la solución al sexismo publicitario? En el volumen se definen los principios que debe incorporar la publicidad feminista y se problematizan aquellos que entran en contradicción con la agenda que reclama la igualdad para las mujeres. Finalmente, se ofrecen orientaciones metodológicas para evitar la mentira violeta y elaborar auténtica publicidad profem.
Autoetnografías, cuerpos y emociones (II). Perspectivas feministas en la investigación en salud
¿Qué aportan al conocimiento antropológico de los procesos de salud/enfermedad/atención las narrativas sobre los malestares que transitan simutaneamente por la reflexión autoetnográfica y la consciencia feminista? Este libro articula un conjunto de voces que parten de la experiencia personal como punto de conexión con el mundo, con el trabajo de campo y con la producción científica para abordar el estudio situado de los significados que adquieren diferentes padecimientos y situaciones vitales. La apuesta final de este volumen es aportar experiencias concretas y ampliar los imaginarios como modo de articular mayores cotas de justicia social desde los propios modos de producir conocimiento que parten de lo parcial y lo local.
