Sommario/riassunto

First volume of the Anthropology and Health collection, it brings together works by 17 authors, covering in a plural way the theoretical perspectives of the area. Its main focus is on approaches that highlight the meaning or the qualitative, subjective dimension of the 'sick' process. As the interest was not to produce a small volume of analytical aspects, the work is composed of chapters that are based on data from surveys, with qualitative treatment, some value history, emphasizing the comparative perspective, and yet others are explicitly influenced by ethnomethodology and phenomenology. The guiding thread is on account of what, more and more, is called 'qualitative methodologies.
