American Evangelicalism

In this article I contribute to the sociology and anthropology of American Evangelicalism by examining the discourse of group Bible study. Every week millions of Christians in the U.S. meet for group study, and in doing so, actively negotiate the categories of meaning central to their faith. Yet, this crucial practice has received scant attention from scholars. This study is grounded in theories of social practice and symbolic interaction, where cultural life is understood through its vital institutions, and institutions are treated as inter-subjective accomplishments. I employ the concept of ‘interactive frames’ to define how Evangelicals understand the Bible study experience. Ultimately, I argue that the predominant interactive frame for Evangelicals is that of cultivating intimacy, which directly reflects the type of personalized, relational spirituality characteristic of their faith. This, in turn, has serious consequences for how Bible reading and interpretation are performed in groups. I use a case study approach, providing close ethnographic analyses of a mixed-gender group from a Restoration Movement congregation.

Seminary Students

The present study investigated the unique contributions of relational spirituality and humility factors to seminary students’ eudaimonic well-being in a diverse sample ( n = 111) of urban seminary students. Hypotheses were developed in conversation with this research on humility, seminary student formation, and virtue ethics. As hypothesized, the relational spirituality factors of differentiation of self and quest exploration each made a significant independent contribution in predicting students’ well-being over and above impression management. In addition, humility-cultivating practices and dispositional humility were modestly correlated and each made a significant independent contribution in predicting well-being over and above relational spirituality factors and impression management. Implications for future research and for seminary student formation are discussed.

AbstractIn this chapter, Taylor-Pirie traces the cultural encounters between the parasitologist and the scientific detective in the medico-popular imagination, revealing how such meetings helped to embed the figure of the doctor-detective in public understandings of science. Parasitologists like Ronald Ross and David Bruce were routinely reported in newspapers using detective fiction’s most famous archetype: Sherlock Holmes, a frame of reference that blurred the boundaries between romance and reality. Recognising the continued cultural currency of Holmesian detection in clinical and diagnostic medicine, she re-immerses the ‘great detective’ and his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, in the literary-historical contexts of the fin de siècle, demonstrating how material and rhetorical entanglements between criminality, tropical medicine, and empire constructed the microscopic world as new kind of colonial encounter.

ABSTRACTDisease and disability are two concepts closely linked for a long time, so that the second seems to be merely a consequence of the first. Even today both realities are treated as if they were the same thing in many public contexts and legal documents. However, this link between disease and disability is not as unavoidable as is often implied. According to the approach outlined in this paper it comes to different realities that are interpreted as part of the same thing under the code of the medical gaze. This paper presents and critically analyzes the archaeological origin of the interpretation of the person with disabilities and chronically ill in the discourse called «medical rehabilitation». Under this paradigm is imposed on the person with disabilities the social mandate to rehabilitate and/or cure to, so, be reintegrated and contribute to society. Otherwise, will be doomed to exclusion.RESUMENEnfermedad y discapacidad son dos conceptos estrechamente vinculados entre sí desde hace mucho tiempo, de manera que la segunda no parece más que una consecuencia de la primera. Aún hoy se tratan ambas realidades como si fueran la misma cosa en multitud de contextos públicos y documentos jurídicos. Sin embargo, este vínculo entre enfermedad y discapacidad no es tan ineludible como a menudo se da a entender. Según el planteamiento expuesto en este trabajo, se trata de realidades distintas que son interpretadas como parte de una misma cosa bajo el código de la mirada médica. Este trabajo presenta y analiza de forma crítica el origen arqueológico de la interpretación de la persona con discapacidad como un enfermo crónico dentro del discurso que se denomina «médico-rehabilitador». Bajo este paradigma se impone a la persona con discapacidad el mandato social de que se rehabilite y/o se cure para, de esta manera, poder reinsertarse y aportar a la sociedad. De lo contrario, quedará condenado a la exclusión.

- While medicalization is the process of extending the medical gaze on human conditions through the mechanism of pathologization, human enhancement actions are implemented towards normal conditions. In this sense, human enhancement can not be considered either health care or health promotion because its aim is optimization, not healing nor prevention. As the borders between normality and pathology are blurred, biomedical interventions aiming at improving a normal individual today could be conceived as health care practices directed towards a sick person tomorrow. Therefore, human enhancement actions should be analyzed through the lenses of the medicalization-theory proposed by Conrad - but on a long-term scale. Under an ethical perspective, human enhancement interventions - being very heterogeneous - should be analyzed case-by-case.Keywords: medicalization, human enhancement, medicine, normality, health promotion, disease.Parole chiave: medicalizzazione, miglioramento umano, medicina, normalitÀ, promozione della salute, malattia.
