Katherine A. Mason is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brown University.
In February 2003, a Chinese physician crossed the border between mainland China and Hong Kong, spreading Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)—a novel flu-like virus—to over a dozen international hotel guests. SARS went on to kill about 800 people and sicken 8,000 worldwide. By July 2003 the disease had disappeared, but it left an indelible change on public health in China. The Chinese public health system, once famous for its grassroots, low-technology approach, was transformed into a globally-oriented, research-based, scientific endeavor.
In Infectious Change, Katherine A. Mason investigates local Chinese public health institutions in Southeastern China, examining how the outbreak of SARS re-imagined public health as a professionalized, biomedicalized, and technological machine—one that frequently failed to serve the Chinese people. Mason recounts the rapid transformation as young, highly trained biomedical scientists flooded into local public health institutions, replacing bureaucratic government inspectors who had dominated the field for decades. Infectious Change grapples with how public health in China was reinvented into a prestigious profession in which global impact and recognition were paramount—and service to vulnerable local communities was secondary.

這書是以public health professionals如何建立modern institution的角度穿起來的,第一張講移民,我有點齣戲;第二章講guanxi,覺得有點老套;第三章講科學研究,也算是modernization的嘗試吧,但不希望中國隻是數據的生產地這個想法不是公共健康領域學者獨有的,也不驚艷;直到最後一章,纔真真地講瞭講中國09年是怎麼對付H1N1的,有意思多瞭。本來期待著作者能講清楚公共健康係統的組織結構的,尤其是信息上報係統的運作,但是也理解,這些信息得訪到特定的人纔能獲取,並不容易。總體,雖不盡興,還算學到瞭新東西。
评分講sars以後中國公共衛生體製在某不具名城市(一看就是深圳)的發展。可以看
评分第四章驚人,理解的基石之一
评分田野調查有一點瑕疵,但框架搭得很好,研究問題在矛盾中逐漸凸顯。
评分很好讀,非典之後的公共衛生體係。公共衛生麵嚮的公共是誰,服務和管理的對象不一緻不僅是中國問題,也是全球問題。對西方科學共同體的想象和嚮往,以西方為標準的專業準則的遵守,難以帶來在地的改變和有效性。從公共衛生的特殊性,不應把人抽象化的角度去理解關係、人情,基層工作尤其是毛時代基層的重要性。提到的很多關於信息、信任、基層的問題,在這次疫情中都有所體現
