It features chapters by internationally known scholars, who bring to bear a range of methodological and geographic expertise on this topic. The book’s central question is to what extent ‘religion’ and ‘medicine’ have overlapped or interrelated in various Asian societies. Collectively, the contributions explore a number of related issues, such as: which societies separated out religious from medical concerns, at which times and in what ways? Where have medicine and religion converged, and how has such knowledge been defined by scholars and cultural actors? Are ‘religion’ and ‘medicine’ the best terms by which scholars can grapple with knowledge about the sacred and the self, destiny and disease?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Dagmar Schäfer\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Stanley-Baker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I East Asia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1              Religion and health care in middle-period China\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNathan Sivin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2              Religion and medicine in pre-modern Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKatja Triplett\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3              Female alchemy in late imperial and modern China\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eElena Valussi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II South Asia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4              Religion and medicine in Sanskrit literature: the \u003ci\u003eRamaya?a\u003c\/i\u003e and the politics of an epic plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnthony Cerulli\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5              From ‘medical men’ to ‘local health traditions’: the secularisation of medicine in portrayals of health care in India\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelen Lambert\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6              Sound medicine: towards a nomadology of medical mantras in seventeenth to twentieth-century Bengal\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProjit Bihari Mukharji \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Himalayas, Southeast Asia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7              Sowa Rigpa, Tibetan medicine, Tibetan healing\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeoffrey Samuel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8              Homeopathy and Islam in Malaysia: Encounters of religion and complementary medical traditions in a modern Asian multi-ethnic society\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConstantin Canavas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9              Questioning the boundaries between medicine and religion in contemporary Myanmar\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCéline Coderey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041024115031,"sku":"9781526160010","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526160010.jpg?v=1750948645","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/situating-religion-and-medicine-in-asia-methodological-insights-and-innovations-9781526160010","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
