The Body Multiple is an extraordinary ethnography of an ordinary disease. Drawing on fieldwork in a Dutch university hospital, Annemarie Mol looks at the day-to-day diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. A patient information leaflet might describe atherosclerosis as the gradual obstruction of the arteries, but in hospital practice this one medical condition appears to be many other things as well. From one moment, place, apparatus, specialty, or treatment to the next, a slightly different "atherosclerosis" is being discussed, measured, observed, or stripped away. Mol demonstrates that this multiplicity does not imply fragmentation. Instead, the disease is made to cohere through a range of tactics including transporting forms and files, making images, holding case conferences, and conducting doctor-patient conversations. The Body Multiple juxtaposes two distinct texts. Alongside Mol's analysis of her ethnographic material - interviews with doctors and patients; observations of medical examinations, consultations, and operations - runs a parallel text in which she reflects on the relevant literature. Mol draws on medical anthropology, sociology, feminist theory, philosophy, and science and technology studies to reframe such issues as the disease-illness distinction, subject-object relations, boundaries, difference, situatedness, and ontology. In dialogue with one another, Mol's two texts meditate on the multiplicity of reality-in-practice. Presenting philosophical reflections on the body and medical practice through vivid storytelling, The Body Multiple will be important to those in medical anthropology, philosophy, and the social study of science, technology, and medicine.

用户评价

挺有意思的书，写的也很清晰，就是让人忍不住想问到底啥是object?

Mol总是喜欢费特别大的劲儿分清其实现实生活中黏连在一起的事儿 看着真累... 这本比logic of care有诚意有野心 却还是太较真儿 不够超越不够inspiring

实验室的研究、临床诊断、治疗和病人体验呈现出的是完全不同的动脉粥状硬化，因而在具体实践中politics of who 的视角就需要转移到politics of what。在这个意义上单个疾病可以是“多样的”，身体也可以是“多样的”而不是多元的（一个器官可以引发某种疾病，而疾病在身体不同部位有不同表现，这些表现不是割裂的，但又自成一个“世界”，对不同的人意味着不同的本体论）。上下分离的排版实在难受，我已经尽力去理解了。然而给我的感受就是虽然似曾相识但也有点道理我竟无言以对。

What’s the *political* (if any) motive of using enactment and dropping performance or construction though? The design of methodology and positionality is even more interesting than the discussion of knowledge/practice and epistemology/ontology.
