Zones of social abandonment are emerging everywhere in Brazil's big cities - places like Vita, where the unwanted, the mentally ill, the sick, and the homeless are left to die. This haunting, unforgettable story centers on a young woman named Catarina, increasingly paralyzed and said to be mad, living out her time at Vita. Anthropologist Joao Biehl leads a detective-like journey to know Catarina; to unravel the cryptic, poetic words that are part of the "dictionary" she is compiling, and to trace the complex network of family, medicine, state, and economy in which her abandonment and pathology took form. As Biehl painstakingly relates Catarina's words to a vanished world and elucidates her condition, we learn of subjectivities unmade and remade under economic pressures, pharmaceuticals as moral technologies, a public common sense that lets the unsound and unproductive die, and anthropology's unique power to work through these juxtaposed fields. Vita's methodological innovations, bold fieldwork, and rigorous social theory make it an essential reading for anyone who is grappling with how to understand the conditions of life, thought and ethics in the contemporary world.

太傷心。
评分用愛做民族誌
评分太傷心。
评分2013版加瞭後記,值得一讀。期待作者的新作Anthropology of Becoming。
评分對去機構化運動的反思,正如作者所言,在加速追求所謂人權和公民權的同時,傢庭或者社區能否接住這些被拋棄者?去機構化運動是左派理想被右派挪用的最好例子,結果是:醫院沒瞭,而社區資源又沒有跟上,精神病人隻能流落街頭或者去到像Vita這樣的地方,在社會性死亡的同時,等待著生理性死亡。警鍾長鳴啊!
