a) What is the difference (according to Foster) between personalistic and naturalistic etiologies of illness? How does that distinciton correspond with the understanding of witchcraft and illness among the Azande (from the documentary about Evans-Pritchard’s research)? Are there differences between the beliefs about illness in Tzintzuntzan and among the Azande? How does Foster’s model apply (or not) to the possession cosmology of zar participants described by Kenyon?
b) What are the cultural gaps between conceptions of medicine between the Hmong and the American Medical system described by Fadiman in “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down”? Do you think there would be a similar gap between curanderos described by De La Portilla and the mainstream medical establishment in San Antonio, Texas, where her fieldwork took place?
