Tuesday | 05:15 PM | Globalizing Virtual Care: Doing Anthropology in a Transdisciplinary Global Health Consortium Medical Anthropology Forum - Wintersemester 2021/22 Dr. Dominik Mattes, Freie Universität Berlin, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthopology The COVID-19 pandemic impacts religious practice as profoundly as religion shapes people’s response to the pandemic. Drawing on recent surveys by one of Berlin’s largest interreligious initiatives as well as in-depth interviews with members of various religious communities in the city, this paper attends to multiple affective and emotional facets of this mutuality and explores how the groups ‘feel their way’ through the pandemic. How do religious communities with distinct political positions within Berlin’s highly diverse religious landscape affectively respond to the challenges the pandemic poses to their belief and hitherto unquestioned ethical certainties? How do they struggle with lockdown-related restrictions on religious gatherings and routines? Which difficulties do they experience in their attempts to sustain a sense of collectivity and belonging, and which impact does the pandemic have on relationships of care within particular groups in emotional, material, and conceptual terms?

Medical Anthropology raises important intellectual and scientific questions about human suffering and wellbeing, and about the human body in its relation to culture and society. This is a “survey course,” meaning that we will survey the most important topics in this field, including illness and suffering, ethnomedicine, ritual healing, the anthropology of the body, mental health and culture, medical pluralism and hegemony, critical medical anthropology, science technology and medicine studies, and others.
