Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 388 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This rich ethnographic and socio-historical account uncovers how toxicity and safety are expressed transculturally in a globalizing world. For the first time, it unpacks the ¿pharmaceutical nexus¿ of mercury in Tibetan medici…ne (Sowa Rigpa) where, since the thirteenth century, it has mainly been used in the form of tsotel. Tsotel, an organometallic mercury sulfide compound, is added in small amounts to specific medicines to enhance the potency of other ingredients. In concordance with tantric Buddhist ideas, Tibetan medical practitioners confront and tame poisonous substances, and instead of avoiding or expelling them, transform them into potent medicines and elixirs. Recently, the UN Environment Programme¿s global ban on mercury, the Minamata convention, has sparked debates on the use of mercury in Asian medicines. As Asian medical traditions increasingly intersect with biomedical science and technology, what is at stake when Tibetan medical practitioners in India and Nepal, researchers, and regulators negotiate mercury¿s toxicity and safety? Who determines what is ¿toxic¿ and what is ¿safe,¿ and how? What does this mean for the future of traditional Asian medical and pharmaceutical practices.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Longevity and long-life practices have been a pan-Tibetan concern for a very long time, but have hardly been studied by anthropologists. This book presents ethnographic accounts and textual material demonstrating how Tibetans in the Darjeeling Hills, India, view the life-span and map out certain…life-forces in various areas of knowledge. These life-forces follow daily, monthly, and annual cycles. Divinations and astrological calculations are widely but varyingly used by Tibetans to assess the strength of life-forces and forecast difficult periods in their lives. Loss, exhaustion, or periodic weaknesses of life-forces are treated medically or through Tibetan Buddhist practices and rituals. In all these events, temporality and agency are deeply interlinked in the ways in which Tibetans enhance their vitality, prolong their life-spans, and avoid 'untimely deaths.'.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Crafting Potency investigates the intricate interweaving of knowledge, practice, and materials through which potency is sculpted in Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine). Informed by Tibetan medical literature and extensive fieldwork with…practitioners (amchis) from Ladakh, Dharamsala, and Kathmandu, the authors explore how potency is understood and manipulated in the making of multi-ingredient medicines. Taking inspiration from Tim Ingold's ecologically attuned phenomenology and Pamela Smith's concept of 'artisanal epistemologies,' potency is presented as efficacy-in-becoming-a fluid capacity sculpted and layered through skilled artisanship, ritual, and environment, rather than a fixed property of stable substances. Highlighting the deep immersion of amchis in their social, ecological, technical, and spiritual lifeworlds-and exploring what changes when knowledge is transmitted through institutional rather than lineage-based training-the book contributes nuanced practice-based perspectives to the anthropology of craft and the history of science. 256 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Diese umfassende ethnografische und sozio-historische Forschungsarbeit zeigt, wie verschiedene Sichtweisen von Toxizität und Sicherheit in einer globalisierenden Welt transkulturell zum Ausdruck kommen. Das Buch untersucht erstmalig den '…pharmaceutical nexus' von Quecksilber in der tibetischen Medizin (Sowa Rigpa). Dort wird es seit dem 13. Jahrhundert hauptsächlich in Form von tsotel, einer metallorganischen Quecksilbersulfidverbindung verwendet, welches in kleinen Mengen bestimmten Arzneimitteln zugesetzt wird, um die Wirksamkeit anderer Inhaltsstoffe zu verbessern. In Übereinstimmung mit tantrisch-buddhistischen Ideen setzen sich tibetische Ärzte mit giftigen Substanzen auseinander und verwandeln sie durch 'Zähmung' in wirksame Medikamente und Elixiere, anstatt sie zu vermeiden oder auszuleiten. Seit kurzem löst das vom Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen initiierte weltweite Minamata-Übereinkommen Debatten über die Verwendung von Quecksilber in asiatischen Arzneimitteln aus. In diesem Zusammenhang interagieren asiatische Medizintraditionen zunehmend mit biomedizinischer Wissenschaft und Technologie. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, was auf dem Spiel steht, wenn tibetische Ärzte in Indien und Nepal, Forscher und Aufsichtsbehörden die Toxizität und Sicherheit von Quecksilber unterschiedlich definieren. Wer bestimmt, was 'giftig' und was 'sicher' ist, und wie Was bedeutet dies für die Zukunft der traditionellen asiatischen medizinischen und pharmazeutischen Praxis 388 pp. Englisch.
