Russia has one of the fastest-growing rates of HIV infection in the world-80 percent from intravenous drug use-and the Church remains its only resource for fighting these diseases. Jarrett Zigon takes the reader into a Church-run treatment center where, along with self-transformational and religious approaches, he explores broader anthropological questions-of morality, ethics, what constitutes a "normal" life, and who defines it as such. Zigon argues that this rare Russian partnership between sacred and political power carries unintended consequences: even as the Church condemns the influence of globalization as the root of the problem it seeks to combat, its programs are cultivating citizen-subjects ready for self-governance and responsibility, and better attuned to a world the Church ultimately opposes.Church and social problemsRussia (Federation)Social valuesRussia (Federation)Drug addictsRehabilitationRussia (Federation)AIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsOrthodox Eastern ChurchHIV infectionsPreventionReligious aspectsOrthodox Eastern ChurchRussia (Federation)Moral conditionsRussia (Federation)Social conditions21st centuryaids treatment.aids.bible.blessings.catholicism.christianity.drug abuse.drugs.emotional control.ethics.ethnography.faith.healing.healthcare.hiv infection.hiv treatment.hiv.iv drug use.medicine.moral anthropology.morality and deviance.morality.neoliberalism.nonfiction.personal responsibility.redemption.rehab.religio.religion.religious treatment.russia.russian orthodox church.self control.self help.self improvement.social science.spirituality.Church and social problemsSocial valuesDrug addictsRehabilitationAIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsOrthodox Eastern Church.HIV infectionsPreventionReligious aspectsOrthodox Eastern Church.303.3/7209470905111.05bclZigon Jarrett519980MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786709003321HIV is God's blessing3728565UNINA
