Mistrustful Dependency: Mistrust as Risk Management in an Italian Emergency Department Medical Anthropology (IF 3.403) Pub Date : 2023-08-01 Mirko Pasquini
ABSTRACT Mistrust is increasingly a daily reality of healthcare delivery worldwide. Yet it remains understudied as a form of relationship and a force in its own right. I address this gap through the ethnography of an Italian Emergency Department (ED), where conflicts have increased since the 2008 financial crisis. I show how mistrust does not result in a breakdown of healthcare interactions. Rather

The Ecological Origins and Consequences of the Rodent Bait Station: From WWII Britain to Contemporary California Medical Anthropology (IF 3.403) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Christopher M. Kelty

The “Reservoir” Metaphor in Anti-Venereal-Disease Campaigns in Mid-Twentieth-Century North America Medical Anthropology (IF 3.403) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Richard A. McKay
ABSTRACT Focusing on British Columbia during the mid-twentieth century, this article illuminates how North American medical, public-health, and law-enforcement professionals used the “reservoir” metaphor in efforts to control venereal disease (VD). It traces the transition from a pre-Second-World-War paradigm of VD eradication – what I call an epidemio-logic – focused on the single reservoir of female

ABSTRACT Aged care staff in Danish nursing homes feel the pressures of time scarcity acutely. But what does this mean for the well-being of residents? Using the concept “care time” we consider subjective experiences of time to make sense of the multiplicity of temporal experiences in nursing home care. We will show how the temporal structures of a neoliberal institutional care logic is at odds with

In their self-care practices, interviewees drew on their richly structured field of relations, exercised dexterity and discernment in attending to them, and forged new webs of relatedness. Moreover,

“Back to the Jungle”: Investigating Rats, Grass, Scrub Typhus, and Plantations in Malaya, 1924 – 1974 Medical Anthropology (IF 3.403) Pub Date : 2023-04-06 Jack Edward Greatrex
ABSTRACT In this article, I examine epidemiological research into scrub typhus in British Malaya between 1924 and 1974. Interwar research, I show, explained the incidence of the disease through conjunctions of rats, mites, plantations, lalang grass, and “jungle.” In the process, interwar researchers bridged a novel scientific vocabulary centering on disease “reservoirs” with older suspicions of plantations

The concept implied a space where plague was enzootic, and relied on a division between inhabited and uninhabited spaces and between domestic rats and wild rodents. Some

“Not Like This”: Embodying Blackness and Childhood Cancer in the United States Medical Anthropology (IF 3.403) Pub Date : 2023-03-21 Anthony Gerard Wright
ABSTRACT The embodiment of cancer is always shaped by multiple social identities and relations, including racial and developmental identities and relations. Here I explore how a 12-year-old, Black cancer patient, who I call Rashad, and his parents negotiated the entangled harms of cancer and anti-Black stereotypes in their everyday lives, inside and outside of healthcare settings. At the same time
