Healing Sounds from the Malaysian Rainforest: Temiar Music and Medicine (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care) (Volume 28) - Softcover
Music and dance play a central role in the "healing arts" of the Senoi Temiar, a group of hunters and horticulturalists dwelling in the rainforest of peninsular Malaysia. As musicologist and anthropologist, Marina Roseman recorded and transcribed Temiar rituals, while as a member of the community she became a participant and even a patient during the course of her two-year stay. She shows how the sounds and gestures of music and dance acquire a potency that can transform thoughts, emotions, and bodies.

From the Back Cover:
"One of the best pieces of ethnomusicological research of the last ten years. Roseman shows just how central musical ideas and practices are to a way of knowing and imagining the world, to a way of transforming ordinary experiences, and to penetrating belief systems more broadly."--Steven Feld, University of Texas, Austin
About the Author:
"An exciting contribution to interpretive medical anthropology. Moving analytically between Temiar cultural constrictions of illness and health, and the humanely organized sounds of healing ceremonies, Roseman explicates the culural logic whereby aesthetic configurations participate in a comprehensive, therapeutically effective pattern of reality. This author has brocaded medical anthropology with ethnomusicology, producing a shimmering postmodern ethnographic tapestry of great subtlety and strength."--Barbara Tedlock, SUNY, Buffalo
Marina Roseman is Assistant Professor of Music and of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and has been recognized for her work in ethnomusicology and traditional Asian medicine.
