Elanah Uretsky is Assistant Professor of Global Health, Anthropology and International Affairs at George Washington University.
Doing business in China can be hazardous to your health. Occupational Hazards follows a group of Chinese businessmen and government officials as they conduct business in Beijing and western Yunnan Province, exposing webs of informal networks that help businessmen access political favors. These networks are built over liquor, cigarettes, food, and sex, turning risky behaviors into occupational hazards.
Elanah Uretsky's ethnography follows these powerful men and their vulnerabilities to China's burgeoning epidemics of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Examining the relationship between elite masculine networking practices and vulnerability to HIV infection, Occupational Hazards includes the stories of countless government officials and businessmen who regularly visit commercial sex workers but resist HIV testing for fear of threatening their economic and political status. Their fate is further complicated by a political system that cannot publicly acknowledge such risk and by authoritative international paradigms that limit the reach of public health interventions. Ultimately, Uretsky offers insights into how complex socio-cultural and politico-economic negotiations affect the development and administration of China's HIV epidemic.

【至少這學期讀到的人類學裏】曆史都是大的定性generalization,傳統怎麼說都可以,儒傢是個筐,什麼都可以往裏裝
評分作者想研究官場應酬文化如何導緻性病傳播以及相應的公共衛生問題,田野做得很好但寫的太散,理論基本生搬硬套,但六章談中國官商關係,對男子漢的性彆建構(對傢庭工作妻子後代二奶哥們的態度;各方麵的壓力;成功的定義),中國當代性開放曆程,官商如何與應酬中的女性協調風險,雲南瑞麗邊境的性與毒品交易(與當地經濟發展、官商勾結掛鈎),中國如何麵對艾滋病流行並與NGO閤作。這每章都能寫成本書啊。第四章說男人認為三陪女髒,做雞時間短的相對乾淨,在餐飲等服務行業的女性乾淨(其實最有風險),認為傣族女相對開放和乾淨,試圖在非妻子外的女性身上獲得一定程度的信任而自認為降低風險,得病後不敢看病、怕自毀仕途。書中談在外頭、齣去應酬的鏡頭很鮮明,但可以更細微些,去捕捉男性行事後一係列的風險,對比他們對於不同女性的態度。M

評分前半部分精彩,後半段基本都在套用二手文獻,理論建樹不深
