Please contact me if you have questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How does the <em>Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down <\/em>exemplify the techniques of ethnographic research that we have studied in this class? Are there ways in which Fadiman could have improved her methods to be a better anthropologist?<\/p>\n<p>In the answering of your question consider: What is Fadiman\u2019s professional background (consult the back of the book or the internet and then cite the source). What specific methods and techniques did she utilize? Where did she conduct her fieldwork (i.e. hospital, homes, etc.)? How and why might we consider her project ethnographic fieldwork? Are there weaknesses in her approach (if so what are they)? Draw on two additional terms, ideas, or examples from other parts of our course and use them in your answer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnne Fadiman\u2019s <em>The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down<\/em> has been described in terms of a \u201ccollision of two cultures.\u201d What might be meant by \u201ccollision of two cultures\u201d and why might such a \u201ccollision\u201d have occurred?<\/p>\n<p>As you answer this question, draw on specific incidents and examples from <em>The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down <\/em>as well as two terms, ideas, or examples from other parts of our course. Note: It is not important to describe everything that might be meant by \u201cthe collision of two cultures.\u201d Your emphasis should be on exploring and explaining Fadiman\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How did language and communication play a role in shaping what happened to Lia? Does Fadiman point to ways in which communication practices between doctors and patients might be improved?<\/p>\n<p>In answering your question consider: What were the places and settings in which communication failed? How did participants interpret these failures? How might Lia\u2019s case demonstrate the difference between \u201clinguistic competence\u201d and \u201ccommunicative competence\u201d? Please draw on specific examples from the book and two terms, ideas, or examples from other parts of the course as you answer this question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 4: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What role does ritual play in <em>The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down<\/em>? What does the book teach us about the relationship between ritual, religion, and medical practice?<\/p>\n<p>As you answer the question above consider: Which events in the book might be classified as rituals? Does medical care contain elements of ritual? What do these rituals signify to those who practice them and to those who do not? How does Fadiman interpret the rituals she observes? Draw on two additional terms, ideas, or examples from other parts of our course as you answer this question.<\/p>\n<p>This assignment will comprise 30 points (30 % of your final grade).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthropology 110: Spring 2016 Final Paper Assignment \u00a0 Instructions: Pick one of the questions below and answer it in a 3-5 page essay.
