TRANSFORMING TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (SS 312)

SS 312 Transforming Traditional Chinese Medicine

The course discusses how "traditional Chinese medicine" is made and remade
through various transnational circuits at different historical moments. It consists of two sessions:

Session 1 introduces the basic concepts and practices in traditional Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, and how they became institutionalized around the turn of the 20th century.

Session 2 examines how traditional Chinese medicine was reinvented as a preventive medicine for the world's rural poor during the Cold War era, and how it has been refashioned into a preventive medicine for holistic, cosmopolitan lifestyles with a California flair since the 1990s.


Presenter:
Mei Zhan. Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology. Dr. Zhan received a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University in 2002 and joined UCI the same year. Her work is in the areas of medical anthropology, anthropological studies of science, China, trans -nationalism, and globalization. She has published extensively on traditional Chinese medicine, and on post-SARS healthcare practices in urban China.
