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.

biological noncitizen在這次又上演一遍。繼續追問truth的四種寫法,足夠好的真相、打摺的真相、想象的真相和真正的真相。
评分現在看來這本書的結論完全錯誤啊,一個高度職業化的公共衛生係統並沒有建立起來
评分高度推薦

评分很棒的民族誌,公衛的很多問題基本都講到瞭,但對製度和疾控內部係統的描寫比較少,如”問責製“等一筆帶過(估計能拿到的資料也不足以支撐這部分的討論)。無比感慨,如果說08年那會是戴著枷鎖做調查,如今就是畫地為牢瞭……
