Unsere Welt voller Untergänge und Katastrophen ist zugleich eine Welt voller Rettungen, Retter und Rettungsgeschichten. Täglich werden Rettungspakete geschnürt und Rettungsschirme gespannt, damit angesichts der drohenden Untergangsszenarien solches Rettungshandeln als alternativlos erscheine. Derartige Heilsversprechen lassen sich einerseits als Diskursinstrument zur Plausibilisierung und Invisibilisierung politisch kontingenten Handelns betrachten. Andererseits bilden sie ein zentrales und historisch tief eingewurzeltes Basisnarrativ unserer Kultur, welches die Beiträger von der Frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart in ihrer religiöstheologischen, biopolitischen, sozialgeschichtlichen, technischen und medialen Dimension erkunden. Gegenstand sind literarische Texte sowie bioethische, populäre, ästhetische und politisch-philosophische Diskurse vom 17. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart.

Modern medicine has penetrated Bedouin tribes in the course of rapid urbanization and education, but when serious illnesses strike, particularly in the case of incurable diseases, even educated people turn to traditional medicine for a remedy. Over the course of 30 years, the author gathered data on traditional Bedouin medicine among pastoral-nomadic, semi-nomadic, and settled tribes. Based on interviews with healers, clients, and other active participants in treatments, this book will contribute to renewed thinking about a synthesis between traditional and modern medicine — to their reciprocal enrichment.
