In Mozambique, where more than half of the national health care budget comes from foreign donors, NGOs and global health research projects have facilitated a dramatic expansion of medical services. At once temporary and unfolding over decades, these projects also enact deeply divergent understandings of what care means and who does it. In Medicine in the Meantime, Ramah McKay follows two medical projects in Mozambique through the day-to-day lives of patients and health care providers, showing how transnational medical resources and infrastructures give rise to diverse possibilities for work and care amid constraint. Paying careful attention to the specific postcolonial and postsocialist context of Mozambique, McKay considers how the presence of NGOs and the governing logics of the global health economy have transformed the relations—between and within bodies, medical technologies, friends, kin, and organizations—that care requires and how such transformations pose new challenges for ethnographic analysis and critique. 在莫桑比克,超过一半的国家卫生保健预算来自外国捐助者,非政府组织和全球卫生研究项目促进了医疗服务的急剧扩张。这些项目同时也是临时的,并且在几十年的时间里逐渐展开,这些项目对于什么是护理意味着什么以及谁在做护理有着深刻的不同理解。与此同时,拉玛•麦凯通过病人和医疗服务提供者的日常生活,跟踪了莫桑比克的两个医疗项目,展示了跨国医疗资源和基础设施如何在有限的条件下为工作和护理带来各种可能性。仔细关注了莫桑比克的后殖民主义和后社会主义背景,麦凯思考了非政府组织的存在和全球卫生经济的管理逻辑如何改变了关怀需要的机构、医疗技术、朋友、亲属和组织之间和内部的关系,以及这些转变如何给人种学分析和批评带来新的挑战。 基本信息 出版社 : Duke University Press Books; 第 Illustrated 版 (2018年1月12日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 256页 ISBN-10 : 0822370107 ISBN-13 : 978-0822370109 商品重量 : 476 g 尺寸 : 15.24 x 22.86 cm
