Publications: Asian Medicine; Mythological Dissent

[Raji Steineck]

Dear colleagues,

it's 師走 and publishers are thankfully doing their best to get things out as well.

There's a theme issue of Asian Medicine edited by Anna Andreeva, "Religion, Medicine, and Women’s Health in Premodern East Asia":

https://brill-com.ezproxy.uzh.ch/view/journals/asme/20/2/asme.20.issue-2.xml

which contains, among others, a translation of the chapter on menstruation from Kajiwara Shōzen's Ton'ishō by Daniela Tan @UZH/IAO and

an article by Anna Andreeva: "Making Babies in Ninth- and Tenth-Century Japan–Change and Diversity in Buddhist and Medical Formulas for Aiding Conception."

Tan's translation is a further result of our TIMEJ project, and therefore fully open access. 

To this, let me add a short book chapter I wrote on "Mythological Dissent: Cases from Japan", available again in OA here:

The cases are from ancient, medieval and modern Japan.

Hope you'll find these useful!

Kind regards,

Raji
