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

評分政治轉型:愛國衛生運動,人民—>現代公共衛生體係,人口;the “common”:an idealized world of modernity, science, and trust that they hoped through their work to be able to find abroad and build at home,作為一種理想落實於現實的張力和錯位, the common being served vs. the populations being governed;professional project and moral project
評分大概兩個半月前,大傢都說要看這本書,非常符閤當時國內的疫情管理情況。彼時大傢大約都在質疑quarantine,本書第四章講當年深圳有關H1N1的應對非常精彩,大約也切閤兩個半月前大傢的理解。我當時實在沒有心情讀,現在找齣來讀瞭一遍,似乎感觸有些不同,但有趣的是,同樣也能在書中找到很多與現在疫情控製的映照與切閤之處。歷史不會重複,但多多少少會押韻,誠哉斯言,大概也說明瞭本書寫得確實很有價值。頁8,“prevention first”是「預防為主」(yufang weizhu), 這裡寫成瞭 (yufang weizhi),後麵的glossary倒是寫對瞭;頁157等處的 “huoluan”也許是“hunluan”(混亂)?
