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.
Katherine A. Mason is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brown University.

評分以深圳公衛體製的發展為案例,進行的醫學人類學研究。對其人類學研究方法,理解有限,觀感一般,不過本書是一本極好的討論健康倫理的著作,充分展現瞭公衛發展過程中多個層次的倫理睏境。公衛的管理對象和服務對象並不統一。其管理對象是部分人群,服務對象則是當地的民眾,但專業從業人員,有對世界性學術共同體的歸屬感,對於當地被他們視為aggregate的低素質人群,卻隻看做完成研究的數據來源。這種緊張,從此次公眾對石正麗的質疑,和她對人不對事的激烈反擊,以及互相的不信任中被很好的體現。公衛的建立到底是為誰服務,是否能建立起像臨床醫學那樣明確統一的ethic code,是非常值得深思的。此書固然缺少對公衛製度本身的研究,但是蘊含的洞見足以建立起它的地位。

評分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。
評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。
