Rethinking the Healing Practices among the Hui (Chinese Muslims) in Yunnan Province: Research Notes from the Viewpoint of Modernization and Otherness KIMURA Mizuka This paper tries to clarify the field data concerning the healing practices of Hui or Chinese Muslims in a rural village in Yunnan province. Two points are significant for analyzing healing practices in the study of anthropology: first, interface between traditional healings and the modernization both of medicine and religion, and second, embracement of the otherness in the narratives of healings. Traditional healings have been marginalized from those two modernist discourses. In response to those marginalization, traditional healings take the strategy for embracing the hegemonic discourse in order to maintain their medical practices. In the case of Hui in China, healing practices were, on the one hand, reformed as a superstition or undesirable customs by the Chinese Communist Party. On the other hand, they had been attacked as the unorthodox practices by the reformist movement of Islam in China. The field data illustrates, however, that villagers speak of the magical powers of the healers through the articulation of their practices to the hegemonic medical and religious discourses.
