Editorial 8 On the Encounter of Medical Anthropology and Public Health. Editorial EKKEHARD SCHRÖDER AGEM (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Ethnomedizin) is a German association of medical anthropology, which seeks to enhance in this journal the studies of the so- called ethno-medicines as well as of human ecology and of medical sociology. In this issue we draw the accent on the folk sector! as we seek to gain a deeper understanding between the various popular ways of dealing with health and illness, which often are in. terfering with scholarly persecuted medical systems And we do not only focus on the biomedical mode and its global dynamics, but refer to all other complex medical systems in history and presence with differ- ent legal statuses and cultural acceptances. The result is a remarkable variety of different “public health systems” and concepts. Medical anthropology can look at these and often compare them, but frequently the medical anthropologist is also part of them. The classical concept of medical pluralism and the ac- tor-network theory e.g. offer a frame to analyze the manifold encounters of laymen’s ways to cope with health problems, traditional healing, governmental le- gal interventions and of human actors on the margins between and within these fields. The contributions in this issue show this variety in generating public health systems as well as the toughness of traditions in the so-called traditiona: and popular sectors. In the case of the analyzed vo- cation narrative of a diviner-healer from South-west Madagascar, his story reveals a struggle between two sources of magico-religious power: the ancestral cult and Christianity (see GABRIEL LEFEVRE, pp. 139- 155) The potential conflicts between governmental strate- gies of legislation and his way of healing is not a cru- clal point for legal interventions. The conflict is more an intrapersonal one, and co-existence of different concepts is found. A completely different scenario is presented by ALICE DESCLAUX (pp. 131-138) in her study of cos- mopolitan remedies, which are distributed through multi-level network companies in countries such as Senegal. She points out, that firms use technologies, concepts and symbolic references of biomedicine to develop a field of activities with a private aim relying on an entrepreneurial model, which is beyond con- trol of the biomedical institutions. The declaration of these as medicinal or as non-medicinal by the dif- ferent stakeholders in the field leads to an encounter with official public health goals as well as to hidden or open confrontations.? GEORG WINTERBERGER (pp. 121-130) suggests in a local hospital ethnography the importance of more differentiation, if one approaches to public health problems with an emic view. He argues, that afford- able and less time-consuming health care providers should be distinguished from more expensive ones. instead of distinguishing between health care provid- ers of the folk sector (e. g. traditional healer) and the one’s of the professional sector (e.g. health centers and hospitals) as commonly done in literature. The medical anthropologist, deeply involved in the public health sector alongside with the Ameri- can tradition of applied medical anthropology, is demonstrated by the self-reflective conclusions on a program where street and community outreach were carried out in order to increase African American re- cruitment, especially among lower income persons. into HIV vaccine trial research. The authors DoucGLAs FELDMAN, IRENE KETONEN and colleagues (pp. 113- 120) found, that their “evaluation program shows a very strong mistrust, contempt, anger, and resentment toward the medical establishment within at least the lower income segment of the African American com- munity [...]. Street and community outreach is gener- ally an excellent method in recruiting participants into clinical research. However, when the level of hostility and anger toward the medical and government estab- lishment is as high as we found it among lower in- come Afrıcan Americans. its success is certainly not assured.“ I refer to my earlier statement that all complex medical‘systems in history and presence with differ- ent legal statuses and cultural acceptances should be taken into account to show the encounters of legal health politics with the real existing medical land- scapes. KATHARINA SABERNIG (pp. 100-112), a histo- rian of Tibetan medicine, proves this in a subtle study of the development of changes in written texts from a famous doctor of the 17“ century, which are closely connected with changes in public disputes. Although here the “public” is a highly educated small sector of the society, the dynamics of solution finding was more a question of legal power than of pure science of competitive schools of medical thinkers. Starting the presentation of the articles from the last to the first one. the reader finds a text written ın Curare 37(2014)2: 8384
