Crossroads of culture: Religion, therapy, and personhood in northern Malawi
Lindland, Eric H Emory University 2005 해외박사(DDOD)
At the end of the nineteenth century, Presbyterian missionaries from the Free Church of Scotland's Livingstonia Mission began a project to spread Christianity, commerce, and "civilization" in the regions to the north and west of Lake Nyasa, in southeast Africa. In the process, the heterogenous residents of the region, including Tumbuka-speakers, Ngonis, and a mix of other peoples, were confronted with a powerful new player on the local scene, and the past century-plus has in part been a history of accommodation, innovation, and resistance to the Mission's transformative agenda. Within the broader purview of the Livingstonia Mission's project was a focused effort to transform local religious and therapeutic practices. Most Livingstonia missionaries argued for a fundamental incompatibility between their own religion and medicine and those characteristic of the region. In constructing such an oppositional model, Livingstonia missionaries sought to replace local practices of ancestral spiritualism and therapeutic divination with the institutional forms of Christianity and biomedicine. This substitutive logic was promulgated in their teaching and preaching, as well as enforced through both disciplinary and employment mechanisms. Combining history, ethnography, and theories derived from cultural psychology, this thesis explores the ways wherein Tumbuka-speaking residents in one locality in northwestern Malawi, Embangweni, have responded to this missionary substitutive logic. In particular, I elaborate some of the imaginative ways residents have resisted the missionary oppositional model and instead constructed new models that combine, synthesize, and correlate facets of Christianity and biomedicine with ancestral spiritualism and divination. En route, I also examine the syncretic process itself, and explore the use of analogic reasoning within theology, ethics, and ritual symbolism, to subvert and overcome the effort to construct a model of incommensurability between Western and vernacular religio-therapeutic systems. In the process, I suggest that some of Embangweni's residents have done more than simply resist the missionary oppositional model, but have also challenged a deeper, underlying dualism within the Western ontological framework itself.

Kierkegaard on self-deception (Soren Kierkegaard)
Lindland, Erik Norman Indiana University 2005 해외박사(DDOD)
This purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate that behind the apparent disunity of Soren Kierkegaard's authorship there lies a single mindedness of aim and purpose. I show this by examining Kierkegaard's understanding of what is involved in self-deception. I begin by pairing Either/Or and The Sickness Unto Death in order to analyze the connection between the forms of despair found in Sickness with the personality types found in Either/Or. The net result of this analysis is a sketch of Kierkegaard's conception of self-deception, broadly construed. Second, I pair the essay "Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing" with Works of Love in order to provide a concrete example of self-deception, namely, how the apparently other-regarding elements in preferential love ultimately amount to a form of disguised self-love. One surprising result of this analysis is that for Kierkegaard there is no essential difference between pursing characteristically pagan vices (wealth, fame, power, etc.) and erotic love and friendship. Third, I survey Kierkegaard's entire authorship and enumerate all of the various strategies of self-deception that Kierkegaard discusses. These strategies include distracting oneself through immersion in practical activity as well as various tactics of the imagination. What becomes increasing clear in this chapter is that Kierkegaard is primarily concerned about the self-deception involved in ethical failure, and that his account of self-deception is squarely voluntaristic (as opposed to intellectualist). Finally, I closely read "Despair viewed under the aspect of consciousness" and "The Continuation of Sin"---both from Sickness ---in order to bring to bear all that we have learned about Kierkegaard's understanding of self-deception up to that point. What becomes apparent in this chapter is that Kierkegaard understands the ethical failure involved in self-deception to be one of attempting to construct a self under one's own power, independent of God. Ultimately the picture that emerges helps to link several key Kierkegaardian concepts. In particular, despair, sin, double-mindedness and conscience all emerge as highlighting different aspects of the process of self-deception.
