Historical Method

Goals. The article seeks to analyze healing techniques developed in nomadic culture and reveal the logic of such actions. Methods. The study employs the comparative historical method which proves instrumental in identifying common features of understanding and interpreting natural and cultural phenomena by Turko-Mongols; fruitful enough is the method of cultural-historical reconstruction which reveals the logic of archaic views. Materials. Mongols tend to view any deviation from norm in human body as disease, the latter divided into obvious and non-obvious ones, i.e. those the nature of which was unknown to people. Origins of most diseases were reduced to harmful activities of supernatural beings living next to humans. Thus, such personification somewhat facilitated the healing: a deity or spirit of disease could be frightened, persuaded, or appeased. Conclusions. The key idea underlying a significant number of traditional healing techniques was the intention to scare disease.

Ethnobotanical Uses

Humans have known the therapeutic properties and plant origin poisons of many plant species since ancient times. Ancient people who had no real and scientific knowledge on diseases and treatments tried to find solutions to these problems by the opportunities they had and the theories they could produce. Plants are the most important source of traditional folk medicine. People around the world have benefited from plants grown in their environment for this purpose. In these drugs, whole plant or various plant organs or secondary substances were used. Over the years, several therapies have emerged to treat herniated disc, ranging from conservative treatment to minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques to open surgical methods. This chapter examines the recent studies to form a compilation on ethnobotanical uses of medicinal plants for the treatment of herniated disc and their local names, parts, and usage forms in Turkish traditional medicine.

Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia; Oxford: James Currey, 1998. Pp. xvii+354. £35 (ISBN 0-8139-1814-6).Recently several historical reconstructions based on linguistic evidence and dealing with ancient times have been published in African history. In 1998 alone there are the two books reviewed here as well as a major work by Gerda Rossel. Linguistic sources contribute much to the recovery of aspects of the past, which would otherwise remain out of reach, and the standard methodologies of historical linguistics are well known to readers of this journal. Yet in practice many historians remain all too often disconcerted by such studies because they have great difficulty in evaluating them: i.e. in linking assertions made to the evidence provided and so to establish the credibility of such statements. This is not just because many historians are unfamiliar with linguistic evidence but because all the evidence necessary for evaluation is usually not available in the work studied, and often enough authors do not clearly indicate where it can be found. Indeed sometimes it is not available at all. In such cases one has to take the statements made by the authors on faith: one believes the author or not. That is clearly unacceptable. For is it not a fundamental rule in history writing that assertions must be substantiated and hence evidence must be cited or provided? Any work without substantiation cannot be considered to be a work of history at all.

The processes of historical development of cities and formation of public spaces are considered. It is established that open public spaces have always been the basis for the formation of cities. In ancient times (Greece), the network of open-closed spaces was interpreted as the only public space of the city and was a sign of its democracy. With the strengthening of imperial power (Rome), the structure of public spaces becomes deterministic, with a certain direction of movement. In the Middle Ages there is a sacralization of space, which is replaced by its formalization in the Renaissance; further aestheticization of spaces intensifies, their new types appear. The era of modernism changed the spatial paradigm of the traditional city, which led to the loss of historically composed types of public spaces. At the same time, the modern era is characterized by the gradual convergence of external and internal space and their democratization.

Counseling has been a need for people all over the world to the present day. This article will discuss discourses and practices of counseling in Osing as illustrated in Lontar Yusuf Manuscript. The study applies a qualitative approach with the technique of content analysis. This article argues that counseling has not only been a dominant discourse and practice of the modern society in the West but also a cultural wealth in the traditional society in Indonesia, as can be seen in Banyuwangi people (Osing). This article further argues that traditional local values of Osing—such as moco saloko (passing on God’s teachings through songs), ngedapteyan (being aware, patient, and resilient), angering sang putri (relieving sorrow), and munajah (praying to God)—has been a foundation for discourses and practices of Osing which can develop awareness of basic concepts of counseling and therapeutic techniques based on the importance of religion and godliness. The result of this study shows that counseling based on local wisdom of Osing can contribute to enrich discourse and practices of counseling in the modern era.
