  • The Pain of Replication

    Open AccessJonna Brenninkmeijer, Maarten Derksen et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2026

    The replication crisis has led to more focus on methodology in psychological research. Meta-researchers urged for more direct replications, larger sample sizes, and preregistration of research plans. In this paper we point to two other aspects of research: the ontology of the research phenomenon and the emotions that are part of scientific work. We present an ethnographic case study of a replication in psychology and argue that these three aspect…

  • Complicated Interactions in Home Care

    Open AccessVilhelmina Th Einarsdottir, Ásta Snorradóttir et al.ARTICLEGlobal Qualitative Nursing Research2026

    In this qualitative ethnographic study, we aimed at increasing understanding of what makes interactions between staff, users, and relatives in home care services complicated, how these interactions are experienced and how home care practice can be developed to better address these interactions. The study was conducted in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, and data were collected from January 2021 to February 2022. In this article we present findi…

  • Good chemistry and its interruptions

    Open AccessJonna Brenninkmeijer, J PolsARTICLEScience as Culture2025Referências: 15

    Science policy has increasingly organised science as if it were a training ground for excellent individual scientists who can be found through fierce competition for research money and publications. This focus on science as a competition for research excellence is embedded in a specific interpretation of what ‘good’ scientific practices are. Ethnographic analyses of scientific practices using the notion of care can elucidate what good science imp…

  • Replication after Collins

    Open AccessJonna Brenninkmeijer, Maarten Derksen et al.ARTICLESocial Studies of Science2025Referências: 6

    Ethnography and other empirical studies of replication played a significant role in the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) during the 1970s and 1980s. Collins and other proponents of SSK highlighted that exact replication was impossible, knowledge was often tacit and hard to explicate, and that results were always socially negotiated. We revisit these observations and compare them with our ethnography of current replication practices in psyc…

  • Making things specific

    Open AccessJ PolsARTICLEMedicine Health Care and Philosophy2024

    This paper is the English translation and adaptation of my inaugural lecture in Amsterdam for the Chair Anthropology of Everyday Ethics in Health Care. I argue that the challenges in health care may look daunting and unsolvable in their scale and complexity, but that it helps to consider these problems in their specificity, while accepting that some problems may not be solved but have become chronic. The paper provides reflections on how to devel…

  • Achieving good science

    Open AccessJ Pols, Amade M’charek et al.ARTICLELearning and Teaching2024

    There are worries about the quality of scientific research, the validity of the knowledge it produces and the integrity of academics. What is lacking in the debate is what scientists have to say and what they do to create and safeguard what they see as ‘good science’. Using Dutch academia as a case, we show that the academics’ understandings of scientific practice differ in vital ways from those of policy makers. Policy maker's understanding of a…

  • Uncertainty Work

    Open AccessC Muusse, Christina Gerdien Roelofke Muusse et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology2024Referências: 36

    The quest for how to deal with a crisis in a community setting, with the aim of deinstitutionalizing mental health care, and reducing hospitalization and coercion, is important. In this article, we argue that to understand how this can be done, we need to shift the attention from acute moments to daily uncertainty work conducted in community mental health teams. By drawing on an empirical ethics approach, we contrast the modes of caring of two te…

  • Uma questão de gosto

    Open AccessJ Pols, Sarah LimburgARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 45

    Embora as pessoas frequentemente se refiram à qualidade de vida e haja uma respeitável tradição de pesquisa para estabelecê-la, o significado do termo não é claro. Neste artigo, estudamos qualitativamente um procedimento médico cujos efeitos quantitativos são documentados como incertos. Fazemos isso para aprender mais sobre o significado do termo qualidade de vida quando estudado na vida cotidiana. Com a ajuda desses achados, refletimos sobre os …

  • Lavando o cidadão

    Open AccessJ PolsARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 13

    A participação na comunidade e a cidadania para os pacientes são ideais comuns que inspiram melhorias na assistência à saúde mental. Mas o que se entende por cidadania? Aqui é feita uma análise das práticas de banho, na enfermagem psiquiátrica, em instituições de saúde mental de longa permanência. São descritos quatro repertórios de banho, cada um orientado para uma noção específica de cidadania. No primeiro repertório, o banho faz parte da priva…

  • Cuidando de uma crise

    Open AccessC Muusse, Hans Kroon et al.ARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 32

    No debate sobre coerção em psiquiatria, cuidado e controle são muitas vezes justapostos. Neste artigo, argumentamos que essa dicotomia não é útil para descrever as formas mais complexas de inter-relacionamento existentes entre usuários de serviços, profissionais de saúde e o cenário de cuidado específico em uma equipe de saúde mental comunitária (ESMC). Utilizando a abordagem etnográfica da ética empírica, contrastamos as formas como controle e c…

  • Praticidades de tirar o fôlego

    Open AccessJ PolsARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 34

    Ao declarar a Biomedicina como o seu contradiscurso apolítico, as teorias sociais, incluindo os estudos da deficiência, encontram problemas ao discutir os corpos e os seus padecimentos. Este artigo explora as possibilidades de "trazer os corpos de volta" de formas politicamente relevantes, ao mesmo tempo que evita reduzi-los a "dados" singulares e naturais. Isto é feito explorando algumas das práticas em que pessoas com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva…

  • Você precisa criar vínculos com quem você treina

    Open AccessIris Wallenburg, J Pols et al.ARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 29

    Este artigo aborda a reforma contemporânea da educação médica de pós-graduação que visa padronizar o treinamento. As reformas são orientadas por intervenções de políticas públicas para aumentar a qualidade do atendimento, objetivar o desempenho e preparar os residentes para as mudanças nas necessidades de assistência médica. Este artigo se baseia em estudos etnográficos feitos nos Países Baixos, estudando como novos padrões de treinamento foram i…

  • Bondade

    Open AccessDick L Willems, Dick Willems et al.ARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 13

    Este artigo pretende incentivar que acadêmicos enviem trabalhos para um simpósio e para a próxima edição especial da Medische Antropologie, que tratará de estudos empíricos sobre questões normativas. Descrevemos a "virada empírica" na ética médica. A ética médica e a bioética em geral testemunharam um movimento da ética aplicada (a aplicação de regras e princípios para situações complexas) para um interesse renovado nas questões éticas práticas e…

  • "Trazendo corpos - e cuidados de saúde - "de volta

    Open AccessJ PolsARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 42

    Grande parte da teoria social sobre pessoas com deficiência ou doenças crônicas se afasta das práticas e teorias médicas. As pesquisas que se consideram relevantes para a promoção da autonomia de pessoas com deficiência se estruturam desta forma: oferecendo um contradiscurso às formas médicas, assumidas como individualizantes, opressoras e objetificantes, de abordar pessoas que vivem com deficiência. Neste artigo, argumenta-se que a desconsideraç…

  • Cuidado

    Open AccessA Mol, Ingunn Moser et al.ARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 48

    Este texto é uma tradução da Introdução do livro "Care in Practice: On Tinkering in Clinics, Homes and Farms", editado por Annemarie Mol, Ingunn Moser e Jeannette Pols (2010). Tradução de Luísa Muccillo. Revisão de Ana Carolina Lessa Dantas

  • Colocando apreciações em cena

    Open AccessJ PolsARTICLENovos Debates2024Referências: 46

    A "perspectiva do paciente" serve como uma ferramenta analítica para apresentar os pacientes como sujeitos com conhecimento na pesquisa, e não como objetos conhecidos pela medicina. Este artigo analisa os problemas encontrados com o conceito da perspectiva do paciente aplicado aos cuidados de saúde mental a longo prazo. Um problema é que "ter uma perspectiva" requer uma percepção de si mesmo como um indivíduo além da capacidade de representar sua…

  • Telecare that works

    Open AccessTanja Ahlin, Kasturi Sen et al.ARTICLEAnthropology and Medicine2024Referências: 50

    In recent decades, policy makers around the world have been working on implementing various technologies into healthcare, and the Covid19 pandemic fueled this process. The specialized technological solutions for telecare - the use of technologies for care at a distance - are often adopted by users in different ways than intended, or are abandoned if the users cannot find applications that are meaningful to them. However, beyond specialized health…

  • Generative Hanging Out

    J Pols, A J PolsARTICLEMedical Anthropology2023Citada por: 3Referências: 52

    Hanging out" with one's interlocutors generates ethnographic ways to creatively involve people in health care research. This special issue focusses on people who are difficult to engage in conventional research because they are not verbally fluent, such as people with dementia or learning disabilities, or who speak a language that the researcher does not understand. In this introduction I discuss how "Hanging out" shifts the goal-orientation of r…

  • Caring for a Crisis”

    Open AccessC Muusse, Hans Kroon et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    In the debate on coercion in psychiatry, care and control are often juxtaposed. In this article we argue that this dichotomy is not useful to describe the more complex ways service users, care professionals and the specific care setting interrelate in a community mental health team (CMHT). Using the ethnographic approach of empirical ethics, we contrast the ways in which control and care go together in situations of a psychiatric crisis in two CM…

  • The game is on!' Eventness at a distance at a livestream concert during lockdown

    Open AccessAriane D’hoop, J PolsARTICLEEthnography2022Referências: 24

    In many countries the lockdown measures in response to the Covid-19 pandemic forbade social gatherings, including for performing arts. Numerous artists developed projects, often attempting to reach audiences in cyberspace. We offer an ethnographic study of such a project: a jazz concert played live for a particular audience, who attended it from home. We seek to understand how musicians, audience, and the material setting made it possible to enga…

  • The impact of physical distancing on socially vulnerable people needing care during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Netherlands

    Open AccessDaniel H De Vries, J Pols et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Care and…2021Citada por: 3Referências: 8

    What was the impact of physical distancing on socially vulnerable groups needing care during the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in the Netherlands? We conducted repeated qualitative interviews with 141 people in care relationships and 106 professionals, and two repeated surveys among older populations outside ( n = 1697) and inside long-term care facilities ( n = 2619). Findings show a diversity of experiences, ranging from relative calmness an…

  • Frying eggs or making a treatment plan? Frictions between different modes of caring in a community mental health team

    Open AccessC Muusse, Hans Kroon et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2021Citada por: 5Referências: 11

    In this article, we conduct an empirical ethics approach to unravel the different perspectives on good care that are present in a community mental health team (CMHT) in Utrecht. With the deinstitutionalisation of mental health care, the importance of a close collaboration between the social and medical domains of care on the level of the local community is put in the foreground. Next to organisational thresholds or incentives, this collaboration …

  • Working on and with Relationships

    Open AccessC Muusse, Hans Kroon et al.ARTICLECulture Medicine and Psychiatry2020

    Deinstitutionalization is often described as an organizational shift of moving care from the psychiatric hospital towards the community. This paper analyses deinstitutionalization as a daily care practice by adopting an empirical ethics approach instead. Deinstitutionalization of mental healthcare is seen as an important way of improving the quality of lives of people suffering from severe mental illness. But how is this done in practice and whic…
