Fresh and crisp, obviously never read. A few illustrations. References. Index. From the rear cover: "Western medicine -- especially in contrast with non-Western traditions of medical practice -- is widely thought of as a coherent and unified field in which beliefs, definitions, and judgments are shared. Marc Berg and Annemarie Mol debunk this myth with an interdisciplinary and intercultural collection of essays that reveals the significantly varied ways practitioners of 'conventional' Western medicine handle bodies, study test results, configure statistics, and converse with patients. Combining theoretical work with interviews and direct observation of the activities and interactions of doctors, nurses, technicians, and patients, the contributors to this volume provide comparative studies of specific cases. Individual chapters explore topics such as the contested domain of fetal surgery in a California hospital, the construction of gender identity before transsexual surgery in Germany, and differences in the treatment and definition of pain by two clinics in France. DIFFERENCES IN MEDICINE advances earlier studies on medicine's social diversity and regional variations to expose significant differences in the presumptions and decisions that affect patients' lives, and marks a dramatic development in both the study of medicine and in science studies generally. Revealing the ways in which the bodies and lives of people are constructed as medical objects by practitioners, technologies, and textbooks, this collection calls for and initiates new, more textured investigations and theories of the body in medicine and the practice of science." .

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Kulturelle Wirklichkeiten werden durch sinnhafte Unterscheidungen aufgebaut.Die sozial folgenreichsten sind die, mit denen sich die Unterscheider selbst voneinander unterscheiden: die Praktiken der Humandifferenzierung. Sie ereignensich im Zuge der fortschreitenden Differenzierung und Individualisierung derGegenwartsgesellschaft in einer bislang unbekannten Vielfalt, Vermischung undsituativen Kontingenz. Dabei konkurrieren Kategorisierungen des »Menschenmaterials« (Georg Simmel) nach Nation, Ethnizität, Geschlecht, 'Rasse', Alter, Klasse, Sprache und Religion, aber auch nach Leistungs- und Attraktivitätsklassen, politischer und sexueller Orientierung, Leibesvolumen, Dialekten oder Konsumpräferenzen. Diese Differenzierungen wirken in Interaktionen, Institutionen und Diskursen zum Teil in Verbindung miteinander, zum Teil im Verdrängungswettbewerb mit anderen Unterscheidungen. Dem 'doing' - dem praktischen oder diskursiven Vollzug, dem institutionellen Aufbau - entspricht daher immer auch ein 'undoing' - eine Neutralisierung, Überlagerung und Außerkraftsetzung von Humandifferenzierungen. Unter welchen Bedingungen setzen sich welche Differenzierungen durch und wann werden sie in den Hintergrund verdrängt und als irrelevant oder nebensächlich behandelt Was bestimmt die Konjunkturen der Humandifferenzierung Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen versammelt der Band theoretische Analysen undempirische Forschungsbeiträge von drei Kontinenten und aus fünf Fächern: derSoziologie, Ethnologie, Amerikanistik, Linguistik und Theaterwissenschaft. Mit Beiträgen von: Peter Auer, Mita Banerjee, Timo Heimerdinger, Bettina Heintz, Stefan Hirschauer, Herbert Kalthoff, Friedemann Kreuder, Matthias Krings, Carola Lentz, Marion Müller, Armin Nassehi, Damaris Nübling, Andreas Reckwitz, Richard Rottenburg und Oliver Scheiding. 392 pp. Deutsch.
