It is common to speak of the medicine of China, Japan, India, and other nation-states. Yet almost all formalized medical systems claim universal applicability and, thus, are ready to cross the cultural boundaries that contain them. There is a critical tension, in theory and practice, in the ways regional medical systems are conceptualized as "nationalistic" or inherently transnational. This volume is concerned with questions and problems created by the friction between nationalism and transnationalism at a time when globalization has greatly complicated the notion of cultural, political, and economic boundedness.Offering a range of perspectives, the contributors address questions such as: How do states concern themselves with the modernization of "traditional" medicine? How does the global hegemony of science enable the nationalist articulation of alternative medicine? How do global discourses of science and "new age" spirituality facilitate the transnationalization of "Asian" medicine? As more and more Asian medical practices cross boundaries into Western culture through the popularity of yoga and herbalism, and as Western medicine finds its way east, these systems of meaning become inextricably interrelated. These essays consider the larger implications of transmissions between cultures. 606 $aTraditional medicine$zAsia 606 $aMedicine, Ayurvedic$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTraditional medicine 615 0$aMedicine, Ayurvedic 676 $a306.4/61/095 701 $aAlter$b Joseph S$01006617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463247503321 996 $aAsian medicine and globalization$92478715 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03396oam 2200733I 450 001 9910459385803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-351-87998-7 010 $a1-315-23641-9 010 $a1-282-52515-8 010 $a9786612525155 010 $a0-7546-9848-3 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315236414 035 $a(CKB)2670000000013647 035 $a(EBL)495310 035 $a(OCoLC)609858380 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000366693 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11252332 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000366693 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10418436 035 $a(PQKB)11301190 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC495310 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL495310 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10376621 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL252515 035 $a(OCoLC)966310429 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000013647 100 $a20180706e20162010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTheological interpretation of culture in post-communist context $eCentral and East European search for roots /$fIvana Noble 210 1$aLondon :$cRoutledge,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (243 p.) 300 $aFirst published 2010 by Ashgate Publishing. 311 $a1-4094-0007-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; Preface; Introduction: Culture as a Theological Theme; Part I: The World; 1 Images of the World in Karel Capek and Isaac Bashevis Singer; 2 Theologies of the World; Part II: Memory; 3 Heritage of Totalitarian Cultures in Folk Music; 4 Redemptive Memory in Theology; Part III: The Ultimate Fulfillment; 5 Figuring the Ultimate Fulfillment in Central European Cinema; 6 Love as the Ultimate Fulfillment in Theology; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index 330 $aTwenty years after the fall of communism in Central and East Europe is an occasion to reevaluate the cultural and theological contribution from that region to the secularization - post-secularization debate. Czech theologian Ivana Noble develops a Trinitarian theology through a close dialogue with literature, music and film, which formed not only alternatives to totalitarian ideologies, but also followed the loss and reappearance of belief in God. Noble explains that, by listening to the artists, the churches and theologians can deal with questions about the nature of the world, memory and 606 $aChristianity and culture$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aChristianity and the arts$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aChristianity and culture$zFormer communist countrires 606 $aChristianity and the arts$zFormer communist countries 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal$zFormer communist countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aChristianity and the arts 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aChristianity and the arts 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal 676 $a201.7'0943-dc22 676 $a261.0947/09049 700 $aNoble$b Ivana.$0934550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459385803321 996 $aTheological interpretation of culture in post-communist context$92104458 997 $aUNINA
