Annemarie Mol is Socrates Professor of Political Theory at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. She is coeditor of Differences in Medicine: Unraveling Practices, Techniques, and Bodies and Complexities: Social Studies of Knowledge Practices, both published by Duke University Press.
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.

絕對是今年看的最有幫助的書瞭,幫助我把研究框架搭建瞭起來。通過人類學民族誌觀察把一個哲學問題分析的非常深入,也非常簡潔直白。搞哲學搞到這份上太讓人感動瞭……
評分挺有意思的書,寫的也很清晰,就是讓人忍不住想問到底啥是object?
評分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.
評分很不錯的書,簡單易懂。習慣從practice入手,喜歡福柯又想跳齣話語分析的人都值得一讀。當然主要講的是Latour的體係,特彆是multiple ontologies這個話題。
評分The ontology of a disease. 看到最後纔能發現作者的思路還挺厲害。但也有so what之惑
