Sex Cells Douban
author: Almeling, Rene publishing house: University of California Press 2011 - 9
Unimaginable until the twentieth century, the clinical practice of transferring eggs and sperm from body to body is now the basis of a bustling market. In "Sex Cells", Rene Almeling provides an inside look at how egg agencies and sperm banks do business. Although both men and women are usually drawn to donation for financial reasons, Almeling finds that clinics encourage sperm donors to think of the payments as remuneration for an easy 'job.' Women receive more money but are urged to regard egg donation in feminine terms, as the ultimate 'gift' from one woman to another. "Sex Cells" shows how the gendered framing of paid donation, as either a job or a gift, not only influences the structure of the market, but also profoundly affects the individuals whose genetic material is being purchased.

提了一个很有意思的经验问题(为什么捐精和捐卵的经济回报和frame不一样),和文化/医疗/经济社会学对话,讨论在特定文化和医疗领域中定价的问题。基本论点是说有同样功能的sex cells因为由不同的sexed bodies生产出来,因此也就和后者在社会中的文化意义(父/母职)勾连了起来,继而影响到了不同的组织形式、frame和定价。作者在理论中试图弥补社会学家对“sexed bodies"的忽视,听起来很棒,但是她的分析在我看来大多仍然停留在gendered bodies,并没有真正地将她一直在提的生物特性放入分析的框架。另外,她更多地视定价为结果而非过程来进行分析,导致在这一核心问题上的很多分析流于表面。

Knowledge in the Time of Cholera Douban
author: Whooley, Owen publishing house: University of Chicago Press 2013 - 4
Vomiting. Diarrhea. Dehydration. Death. Confusion. In 1832, the arrival of cholera in the United States created widespread panic throughout the country. For the rest of the century, epidemics swept through American cities and towns, killing thousands. Physicians of all stripes offered conflicting answers to the cholera puzzle, ineffectively responding with opiates, bleeding, quarantines, and all manner of remedies, before the identity of the dreaded infection was consolidated under the germ theory of disease some sixty years later. These cholera outbreaks raised fundamental questions about medical knowledge and its legitimacy, giving fuel to alternative medical sects that used the confusion of the epidemic to challenge both medical orthodoxy and the authority of the still-new American Medical Association. In "Knowledge in the Time of Cholera", Owen Whooley tells us the story of those dark days, centering his narrative on rivalries between medical and homeopathic practitioners and bringing to life the battle to control public understanding of disease, professional power, and democratic governance in nineteenth-century America.

Service Encounters Douban
author: Amy Hanser publishing house: Stanford University Press 2008 - 2
This lively study explores how social and economic changes to Chinese society create new cultural values and forms of inequality. Amy Hanser examines changes to a particular set of jobs—service work, in this case salesclerk work—and the nature of the social interactions involved. It argues that a new "structure of entitlement," which makes elite groups feel more entitled to public forms of respect and social esteem, is constructed in settings like new, luxury department stores. The book not only shows how this change involves increasingly unequal relations between clerks and customers, but also demonstrates how marketplaces have become sites where social differences—and inequalities—are recognized and justified. The study's importance lies in its attention to ethnographic detail, its application of cultural theories of inequality to China, and its contribution to our understanding of contemporary China. Unlike other studies of inequality in urban China, this book takes a unique setting—the marketplace and the interactions between customers and salespeople—and a unique approach—the author herself worked as a salesclerk in three settings.

Tonya Harding Douban
★ 8.3 (13 ratings) 苏菲洋·斯蒂文斯 Sufjan Stevens genre: Folk
release date 2017-12-08 publisher: Asthmatic Kitty Records
Friends,
I wrote a song for Tonya Harding. It’s not at all related to the new biopic (I sent it to the music supervisors but they couldn’t find a way to use it). This song has been years in the making. I’ve been trying to write a Tonya Harding song since I was 15.
Please enjoy. If you don’t know who Tonya Harding is, go see the movie, or read her Wikipedia page. She’s amazing. My prayer is peace on earth. Lord help us.
I love you Tonya.

★ 8.0 (10 ratings) author: (美)戴维·斯沃茨 translator: 陶东风 publishing house: 上海译文出版社 2006 - 5
《文化与权力》是在西方社会学界,特别是布尔迪厄研究领域享有盛誉的著作。布尔迪厄是当今世界最具影响力的社会理论家之一,他的著作对于20世纪90年代以来的汉语学界产生着越来越大的影响。但是对于不熟悉法国思想文化语境的中国学者而言,解读布尔迪厄却不是一件容易的事情。作为对布尔迪厄著作的综合的,批判性的检讨,本书围绕布尔迪厄理论的一个核心主题——文化与权力之间的关系展开,对布尔迪厄社会学的基本概念进行了清楚的界定与梳理,并通过详细的材料令人信眼地呈现了布尔迪厄的社会理论的学术渊源,分析了布尔迪厄如何综合了从涂尔干、马克思、韦伯以来的西方社会学理论和实践,并受到萨特、列维-斯特劳斯和阿尔都塞等思想家的影响。

Metrics Douban
author: Vincanne Adams publishing house: Duke University Press 2016 - 3
This volume's contributors evaluate the accomplishments, limits, and consequences of using quantitative metrics in global health. Whether analyzing maternal mortality rates, the relationships between political goals and metrics data, or the links between health outcomes and a program's fiscal support, the contributors question the ability of metrics to solve global health problems. They capture a moment when global health scholars and practitioners must evaluate the potential effectiveness and pitfalls of different metrics—even as they remain elusive and problematic.

Inclusion Douban
author: Steven Epstein publishing house: University Of Chicago Press 2009 - 4
With "Inclusion", Steven Epstein argues that strategies to achieve diversity in medical research mask deeper problems, ones that might require a different approach and different solutions. Formal concern with this issue, Epstein shows, is a fairly recent phenomenon. Until the mid-1980s, scientists often studied groups of white, middle-aged men - and assumed that conclusions drawn from studying them would apply to the rest of the population. But struggles involving advocacy groups, experts, and Congress led to reforms that forced researchers to diversify the population from which they drew for clinical research. While the prominence of these inclusive practices has offered hope to traditionally undeserved groups, Epstein argues that it has drawn attention away from the tremendous inequalities in health that are rooted not in biology but in society.
Mixed Medicines Douban
author: Sokhieng Au publishing house: University Of Chicago Press 2011 - 4
During the first half of the twentieth century, representatives of the French colonial health services actively strove to expand the practice of Western medicine in the frontier colony of Cambodia. But as the French physicians ventured beyond their colonial enclaves, they found themselves negotiating with the plurality of Cambodian cultural practices relating to health and disease. These negotiations were marked by some success, a great deal of misunderstanding, and much failure. Bringing together colorful historical vignettes, social and anthropological theory, and quantitative analyses, "Mixed Medicines" examines these interactions between the Khmer, Cham, and Vietnamese of Cambodia and the French, documenting the differences in their understandings of medicine and revealing the unexpected transformations that occurred during this period - for both the French and the indigenous population. A compelling social history, "Mixed Medicines" will be welcomed by anyone interested in the globalization of scientific and medical practices.
