Abstract

Abstract:

What might ethnography—as both practice and text—offer for thinking about and with non-narrative forms of pain representation? Ethnography operates as an inherently fragmentary, episodic form of knowledge-making: the central acts of observing and writing social life rest upon moments plucked and crafted from the unruly, relentless rush of intersubjective experience. Bringing an ethnographic sensibility to bear on clinical encounters around pain thus attunes us to both the partiality and the sociality of representation. Drawing from ongoing research into how clinicians encounter patients' pain, here I hold together two ethnographic moments, reading across them to explore the consequential forms of attention and of representation at work in the ephemeral utterances and exchanges of everyday work in clinical settings.

从人种学角度关注疼痛
摘要:民族志--既是实践又是文本--可以为思考和使用非叙事形式的疼痛表征提供什么?民族志本身就是一种零散的、偶发的知识创造形式:观察和书写社会生活的核心行为依赖于从主体间无序的、无情的、匆忙的经验中摘取和加工的瞬间。因此,将人种学的敏感性带入与疼痛有关的临床接触中,既能使我们认识到表征的片面性,也能使我们认识到表征的社会性。通过对临床医生如何接触病人疼痛的持续研究,我在这里将两个人种学时刻结合在一起,对它们进行解读,以探索在临床环境中日常工作的短暂言语和交流中所产生的关注和表征形式。
