"Attached Files" is a selection of lectures and papers written by
Imre Lazar, a medical anthropologist with twenty-five years of
experience, situated at the crossroads and frontiers of several
disciplines, including anthropology, health sciences, religious
studies, human ecology, and environmental ethics. The shared focus,
connecting these borderlands into a common semantic network, is the
problem of the synergic logic of human bonds and attachment
embodied by somatic, social, institutional and symbolic structures.
The first part of the book deals with pluralism and the
enculturation of the medical practice and its anthropological
perspectives. The concept of attachment, metaphorized by the title,
also provides a common ground to envisage cultural history,
philosophy, literature, and biomedical sciences in terms of
synergic human agency and its obstacles. The book integrates
various strands of anthropology, such as the evolutionary and the
symbolic, and the materialist and the idealist. The book will be
useful for those interested in the fields of medical anthropology,
health psychology, religious studies, human ecology, ecophilosophy,
and environmental ethics.
