workshop on siddha medicine - 23-24 August 2007 French Institute of Pondy

[Guest guest]

workshop on siddha medicine in Social Sciences23-24 August 2007 French Institute of PondicherryThis workshop aims to gather together social science scholars working on Siddha medicine in order to draw perspectives for future collaborative work.Siddha medicine, one of the medical systems legally recognized and supported by the Government of India, has received scant attention from the social sciences to date. This medicine is little known outside Tamil Nadu because of its assimilation to Ayurveda, its Tamil literature, and its practice limited mainly to the Tamil populations of India and overseas. It is an undeniable fact that Siddha shares the concepts of Ayurveda and uses a lexicology in a tamilized form of Sanskrit. However, Siddha medicine has its own technical and social specificities, which the workshop aims to explore.The proposed themes are as follows: the pluralistic practices of Siddha medicine (governmental vs. private, regional diversities, etc.), Siddha medicine and Tamil identity (invented tradition, historical facts and historical claims, political discourses), and the social use of materia medica (intellectual property, mass production and the market).Abstracts (300 words) should be sent before 20th June 2007, to Brigitte Sébastia (brigitte.sebastia) or bsebastia
