Adapted Traditions: The Case of Traditional Palestinian Women Healers in Israel

Inhalt: Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit traditionellen palästinensischen Heilerinnen in Israel und mit den Wandlungsprozessen, denen ihre Rollen und Praktiken unterworfen sind. Verglichen werden biografische Erzählungen von Heilerinnen, die in Städten mit jüdisch-arabischer Bevölkerung in Zentral-Israel leben mit denen in Beduinen-Gemeinschaften in der Wüste Negev. Dabei wird deutlich, dass traditionelles Heilen im Zuge von Modernisierungsprozessen nicht einfach verschwunden ist, sondern spezifische Transformationen vollzogen hat. So befassen sich städtische Heilerinnen z.B. weniger mit "physischen" Problemen, für die eine "natürliche" Ursache und Behandlung angenommen wird, sondern eher mit allgemeinen Lebensproblemen bzw. mit Problemen, die als "übernatürlich" verursacht erachtet und die mit magischen und religiösen Mitteln behandelt werden. Auf diese Weise bleiben die Heilerinnen trotz erkennbarer Wandlungsprozesse Agentinnen des Bewahrens von Tradition und von Konservatismus, eine Rolle, die ihre zentrale Position in ihren Gemeinschaften fortschreibt.
Inhalt: This article examines transformations in the roles and treatment practices of traditional Palestinian women healers in Israel. Comparing narratives of women healers residing in Jewish-Arab mixed cities in central Israel with those of their counterparts in the Bedouin community of the Negev reveals that traditional healing has not disappeared as a result of modernization but rather has transformed. Urban women healers are abandoning treatment of physical problems in favor of addressing life hardships; they distance themselves from problems whose cause and treatment are considered natural and prefer those perceived as derived from supernatural causes and treated through supernatural, magical and religious means. Despite these transformations, traditional Palestinian women healers appear as agents of preservation and conservatism, a role that imbues them with a central position in their community. Hence, their place is currently secured and expected to remain so as processes of modernization and acculturation increase in intensity.

Gender patterns in household health expenditure allocation: a study of South Africa

Inhalt: This paper explores the extent and nature of gender differences, by age, in household health expenditure allocation. Using South African data, we adopt a hurdle methodology, constructing a sequence of decision stages (reporting sickness, consulting medical practitioner, incurring positive medical expenditure, and the conditional amount of expenditure) in order to examine all these possible channels of gender differentiation. Our results provide evidence of significant pro-female bias among prime age persons (ages 16-40) after controlling for gender differences in the opportunity cost of time spent on seeking medical attention. We infer that expenditure on female health is viewed as an important investment in household welfare in light of women's contribution to household production, particularly over child bearing/ rearing ages. This provides an alternative narrative to the 'investment motive' hypothesis traditionally employed to explain differential allocation of resources to males and females within the household. We also compare the relative explanatory power of household and individual level equations in revealing intra-household gender bias. Our findings suggest that the dimensions of gender differentiation are revealed more clearly in individual level regressions.
