Limits to Agency in Psychopathology: A Comparison of Trinidad and Albania
Abstract:
Comparative anthropology at a distance is acceptable providing we use ethnographic findings to see how apparent similarities might actually differ in the field: 'aiming for comparison with the non-comparability of phenomena kept firmly in mind'. This paper contrasts the limits of agency in local understandings of 'psychopathology' for two societies: a fishing village in Trinidad and an agricultural mountain village in Albania. The work madness does in each reflects rather different histories and cultures-with a more dynamic and metaphorical resonance for the voluntarist Caribbean than for prescriptive Northern Albania.
