Description

In The Moral Discourse of Health in Modern Cairo: Persons, Bodies, and Organs, Mohammed Tabishat posits that health care practices in Egypt constitute an index to read the way political, economic, and social conditions are experienced by those who use, embody, or live them and cope with their outcomes. These practices carry the code of the socio-cultural matrix in which they are embedded; they speak of the rationalities of different help-seeking efforts. In doing so, they represent the moral principles underlying the social efforts to alleviate pain and maintain life as a whole. Health-related practices in this sense constitute a critical platform to know, feel and live in both the physical and moral sense.

Author Biography:

Mohammed Tabishat is assistant professor of socio-cultural anthropology at The American University in Cairo. His work explores how health care systems constitute indexes for social structure and cultural change. He has conducted fieldwork in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.
