For Health Autonomy: Horizons of Care Beyond Austerity, Reflections from Greeceis a collection of essays and interviews focused around radical healthcare [End Page 571]movements in Greece. Initiated by the CareNotes Collective, the book is grounded on the premise that—in the ongoing crisis of capitalism—there are crucial lessons to be learned from individuals and collectives in Greece that have responded to entrenched economic downturn, and the violence of austerity, by reconfiguring how care is conceptualized, organized, and (re)distributed. As the Collective notes in Chapter One, the book seeks to "illuminate the radical imaginings and creation of new care spaces that will allow us to build power to confront the systemic crises we face collectively" (12).

As I write this review, the United States is closing in on 80,000 deaths from Covid-19. Who knows where we will be once it is published? Covid-19 has thrown into relief the extraordinary (if not unexpected) costs of privatized, profit-driven healthcare; the flows of people, goods, money, and contagions that accompany global capitalism; and the ways in which a constant focus on the health of markets renders lives expendable (Stuckler and Basu 2013)—even on a massive scale. In the past few weeks, municipalities and communities across the United States have responded in highly variable, often contradictory, ways. My own small neighborhood in Pittsburgh is a microcosm of these variations, as well as the entrenched individualism through which ideas of health and the good are almost always inflected in this country. I hear guidelines to "shelter in place" met with frustration as an infringement on freedom (individual freedom, of course—I cringe to think how my neighbors would respond to the lockdown measures that stereotypically noncompliant populations of the European South have followed with great self-sacrifice). Neighborly requests that people wear masks in businesses and on the street engender not just friendly compliance but also responses like, why don't you stay home? Or, if you don't like how we conduct things go somewhere else. Getting back to business is persistently framed as more urgent than cutting down on infections and deaths.

But there has also been an explosion of networks of mutual aid, a term that I myself first encountered in Greece, in Greek, and which I heard increasingly frequently when I began research on the social solidarity initiatives that began to emerge in Greece in the early 2010s. These initiatives focus on horizontalized forms of redistribution (of medicines and care, food, education, and other crucial resources). While described as a form of mutual aid (αλληλοβοήθεια), solidarity in Greece has a much longer history—often cited as a core value in Greek rural life (Friedl 1964; Du Boulay 1972), which transferred later to urban contexts (Bakalaki 2008) and has been revivified and granted new meanings under austerity. Clearly, Covid-19, like many events codified as crises, is engendering forms of widescale critique and questioning ( krisi) challenging even us here in the United States, that bastion of individualism, to reimagine aspects [End Page 572]of health and community. Among those reimaginings are micropractices of commoning (such as those described in the preface to For Health Autonomyby Silvia Federici), either through more organized networks or informal modes of exchange and redistribution that groups of neighbors and friends have instituted. All this is to say that the premise of this collection—to learn from radical imaginings that challenge us to rethink health and care in terms of collective notions of human, multi-species, and planetary flourishing—is particularly relevant and even urgent now.

This volume is quite short (just 110 pages), and the contributions are overall relatively free of jargon and engaging to read. Contributors range from engaged visitors to Greece (Cassie Thornton and Marta Perez) who seek to narrate what they learned from their meetings with local activists and stakeholders, to a variety of key figures (individual and collective) in the solidarity-based healthcare...

• 对于健康自主性：超越紧缩性的医疗视野， CareNotes Collective从希腊的反思
• 希思·卡伯特（生物）

对于健康自主性：紧缩性之外的医疗视野，希腊的思考是针对希腊激进的医疗保健[End Page 571]运动的论文和访谈的集合。这本书是由CareNotes集体发起的，其前提是：在持续的资本主义危机中，必须从希腊的个人和集体那里汲取重要经验教训，以应对根深蒂固的经济衰退和紧缩暴力。重新配置护理的概念化，组织和（重新）分配方式。正如第一章中的集体注释所述，该书旨在“阐明激进的构想和创造新的护理空间，使我们能够建立力量来应对我们共同面临的系统性危机”（12）。

在我撰写此评论时，美国即将关闭Covid-19造成的80,000人死亡。谁知道发布后我们会在哪里？Covid-19减轻了私有化，以利润为导向的医疗保健的非凡（如果不是意外的话）的费用；全球资本主义伴随的人员，货物，资金和危机蔓延；以及持续关注市场健康的方式使人们的生活变得消耗exp尽（Stuckler and Basu 2013），甚至是大规模的生活。在过去的几周中，美国各地的市政当局和社区都以高度变化且常常相互矛盾的方式做出回应。我在匹兹堡的小社区是这些变化的缩影，也是根深蒂固的个人主义，在这个国家，健康和善良的观念几乎总是受到影响。我听到了有关“你为什么不呆在家里？或者，如果您不喜欢我们的行为方式，那就去别的地方。持续开展业务比减少感染和死亡更为紧迫。

但是，互助网络也出现了爆炸式增长，这是我本人在希腊首次遇到的一个希腊语，当我开始研究早期在希腊开始出现的社会团结倡议时，就越来越频繁地听到这个词。 2010年代。这些举措侧重于水平分布的再分配形式（药品和护理，食品，教育和其他关键资源）。虽然被描述为互助的一种形式，但希腊的团结历史悠久，通常被视为希腊乡村生活的核心价值（Friedl 1964； Du Boulay 1972），后来又转移到城市环境中（Bakalaki 2008）。并在紧缩下复兴并赋予了新的意义。显然，Covid-19与许多编成危机的事件一样，正在引发广泛的批评和质疑形式（krisi）甚至在我们这里挑战我们这个个人主义的堡垒，以重新构想健康和社区的各个方面[第572页]。在这些重新构想中，有共同的微观实践（例如西尔维娅·费德里奇（Silvia Federici）在《实现健康自主》的序言中所描述的），这是通过邻居和朋友团体建立的更有组织的网络或非正式的交流与再分配模式进行的。所有这一切都意味着，该收藏的前提是从激进的想象中吸取教训，这些挑战挑战着我们从人类，多物种和星球繁荣的集体观念出发重新思考健康和护理，如今这一前提特别重要，甚至迫在眉睫。

该卷非常短（仅110页），并且总体而言，这些术语相对来说没有术语，而且引人入胜。参与者包括从希腊参与活动的游客（Cassie Thornton和Marta Perez），他们寻求讲述他们从与当地活动家和利益相关者的会议中学到的东西，以及基于团结的医疗保健中的各个关键人物（个人和集体）...
