ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-60537-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Q - Sciences humaines Résumé : Are emotions human universals? Is the concept of emotion an invention of Western tradition? If people in other cultures live radically different emotional lives how can we ever understand them? Using vivid, often dramatic, examples from around the world, and in dialogue with current work in psychology and philosophy, Andrew Beatty develops an anthropological perspective on the affective life, showing how emotions colour experience and transform situations; how, in turn, they are shaped by culture and history. In stark contrast with accounts that depend on lab simulations, interviews, and documentary reconstruction, he takes the reader into unfamiliar cultural worlds through a 'narrative' approach to emotions in naturalistic settings, showing how emotions tell a story and belong to larger stories. Combining richly detailed reporting with a careful critique of alternative approaches, he argues for an intimate grasp of local realities that restores the heartbeat to ethnography.

Successful Societies: How Institutions and Culture Affect Health / Peter A. Hall (2009)

Titre : Successful Societies: How Institutions and Culture Affect Health Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter A. Hall, Auteur ; Michèle Lamont, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 346 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-73630-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : P - Santé Résumé : Why are some types of societies more successful than others at promoting individual and collective well-being? Focusing on population health as an indicator of social success, this book opens up new perspectives on the ways in which social relations condition health and the public policies that address it. Based on four years of dialogue among scholars from diverse disciplines, it offers social epidemiologists broader views of the social determinants of health and social scientists a sense of the fascinating puzzles of population health. The chapters consider health inequalities in the developing, as well as developed, world. They locate their roots, not only in economic resources, but in the social resources provided by the institutions and cultural repertoires constitutive of social relations. They examine the AIDS epidemic in Africa, the sources of the health gradient, the role of collective imaginaries, destigmatization strategies, and the historical basis for effective health policies.
