Why do some men become convinced—despite what doctors tell them—that their penises have, simply, disappeared. Why do people across the world become convinced that they are cursed to die on a particular date—and then do? Why do people in Malaysia suddenly “run amok”? In The Geography of Madness, acclaimed magazine writer Frank Bures investigates these and other “culture-bound” syndromes, tracing each seemingly baffling phenomenon to its source. It’s a fascinating, and at times rollicking, adventure that takes the reader around the world and deep into the oddities of the human psyche. What Bures uncovers along the way is a poignant and stirring story of the persistence of belief, fear, and hope.

Door deze samenvatting te lezen, kom je meer te weten over cultuurspecifieke syndromen, vooral in Afrika en Azië. Je zult ook leren : dat een derde van de Hmong tijdens de Vietnamoorlog is gestorven; dat een ander derde in 1975 naar de Verenigde Staten emigreerde; dat er tussen 1997 en 2003 in West-Afrika een wijdverspreide epidemie van "penisroof" heerste; dat "voodoo-dood" niet alleen voorkomt in exotische landen; dat in West-Afrika bepaalde culturele syndromen alleen studenten treffen; dat Frank Bures gepassioneerd is over de verschillen tussen culturen. Waarom zijn in West-Afrika duizenden mannen ervan overtuigd dat hun penis is verdwenen na magische operaties, ondanks wat artsen hen vertellen? Daar kom je achter door het werk te lezen van Frank Bures, die in vele landen in Europa, Azië, Afrika en Amerika heeft gewoond en meerdere talen spreekt. Dit is een "conditio sine qua non" om in contact te komen met volkeren die angstvallig hun tradities bewaken, inclusief datgene wat in elke cultuur minder communiceerbaar is: de vorm van waanzin die eigen is aan elke beschaving.

Durch die Lektüre dieser Zusammenfassung werden Sie mehr über kulturspezifische Syndrome erfahren, insbesondere in Afrika und Asien. Sie werden auch erfahren, : dass ein Drittel des Hmong-Volkes im Vietnamkrieg gefallen ist; dass ein weiteres Drittel 1975 in die Vereinigten Staaten ausgewandert ist; dass in Westafrika zwischen 1997 und 2003 eine weit verbreitete Epidemie des "Penisdiebstahls" herrschte; dass der "Voodoo-Tod" nicht nur in exotischen Ländern vorkommt; dass in Westafrika bestimmte kulturelle Syndrome nur Studenten betreffen; dass Frank Bures sich leidenschaftlich für die Unterschiede zwischen den Kulturen einsetzt. Warum sind in Westafrika Tausende von Männern davon überzeugt, dass ihr Penis nach magischen Operationen verschwunden ist, obwohl die Ärzte es ihnen sagen? Sie werden es herausfinden, wenn Sie das Werk von Frank Bures lesen, der in vielen Ländern Europas, Asiens, Afrikas und Amerikas gelebt hat und mehrere Sprachen spricht. Dies ist eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung, um mit Völkern in Kontakt zu kommen, die ihre Traditionen eifersüchtig hüten, einschließlich dessen, was in jeder Kultur weniger kommunizierbar ist: die jeder Zivilisation eigene Form des Wahnsinns.

Throughout most of history, in China the insane were kept within the home and treated by healers who claimed no specialized knowledge of their condition. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, psychiatric ideas and institutions began to influence longstanding beliefs about the proper treatment for the mentally ill. In The Invention of Madness, Emily Baum traces a genealogy of insanity from the turn of the century to the onset of war with Japan in 1937, revealing the complex and convoluted ways in which “madness” was transformed in the Chinese imagination into “mental illness.” Focusing on typically marginalized historical actors, including municipal functionaries and the urban poor, The Invention of Madness shifts our attention from the elite desire for modern medical care to the ways in which psychiatric discourses were implemented and redeployed in the midst of everyday life. New meanings and practices of madness, Baum argues, were not just imposed on the Beijing public but continuously invented by a range of people in ways that reflected their own needs and interests. Exhaustively researched and theoretically informed, The Invention of Madness is an innovative contribution to medical history, urban studies, and the social history of twentieth-century China.
