The Uncaring, Intricate World: A Field Diary, Zambezi Valley, 1984-1985
In the 1950s the colonial British government in Northern and Southern Rhodesia (present-day Zambia and Zimbabwe) began construction on a large hydroelectric dam that created Lake Kariba and dislocated nearly 60,000 indigenous residents. Three decades later, Pamela Reynolds began fieldwork with the Tonga people to study the lasting effects of the dispossession of their land on their lives. In The Uncaring, Intricate World Reynolds shares her field…
Les objets composés: Agencements, dispositifs, assemblages
L'hétérogénéité profonde des réalités dont les sciences sociales ont à se saisir crée du trouble, mais elle laisse surtout entrevoir de nouvelles lignes de recherche. Ce que nous pointons, ce n'est pas la variabilité qui émerge nécessairement d'une enquête empirique, et qu'un chercheur s'attache en partie à réduire. Ce ne sont pas non plus les interdépendances entre des formes de matérialité non sociales et les objets que les sciences sociales on…
The Ways We Stretch Toward One Another: Thoughts on Anthropology through the Work of Pamela Reynolds
The Anti‐Witch by Jeanne Favret‐Saada. Matthew Carey, trans. Chicago: HAU, 2015. 232 pp
The Poisonous Ingenuity of Time
Drawing on ethnographic work with one family in Baltimore that began over a decade ago, I consider how time, symptom, and forms of vulnerability and precarity come to shape polypathia (comorbidity). First, I attempt to demonstrate how life with concurrent and recurring illness has a character more dense than interwoven disease etiologies or a general pattern of symptomatology. Chronic illness in its plural form offers terms of life and living tha…

Todd Meyers (TM): The first topic I want to discuss is influences and interlocutors. I’m curious about your beginnings and the directions your work has taken over the past decades.Nikolas Rose (NR): I guess it’s best to talk about this biographically. I went up to university in the 1960s to read biology at Sussex University. I worked in the department of John Maynard Smith, a rather famous geneticist, mainly on fruit flies, on Drosophila — this w…

Le patient comme catégorie de pensée
Cet article part du compte rendu ethnographique d'un traitement clinique aux États-Unis pour examiner comment « le patient » est imaginé et réalisé dans le travail médical. L'article avance que le patient n'est ni seulement une position-de-sujet occupée par l'individu qui fait l'expérience de la maladie ou du désordre, ni purement un objet d'intervention médicale, mais plutôt que le patient est une catégorie de pensée, partagée par ceux qui cherc…

A Turn Towards Dying: Presence, Signature, and the Social Course of Chronic Illness in Urban America
This article examines an account of chronic illness and traces the narrative as it turns towards dying. Based on two years of ethnographic work with one household in Baltimore, MD, the article illustrates the complex institutional transactions performed by the poor in the urban United States. The ethnography follows the contours of these transactions as they take shape between biomedical and domestic spheres, considering the way in which the mana…
