Abstract

This essay documents how, in the 1940s and early 1950s, one scientifically discredited racialist assumption, namely the notion that 'hybridity', embodied by the 'American Negro', and linked to degeneration and disease, was re-authorized, again by science, through the discursive fusion of anthropology, medicine and genetics in the context of a particular disease--sickle cell anaemia. More specifically, I am concerned with the construction of what came to be called an 'anthropathology' of the 'American Negro', the discourse networks that situated it, its conditions of possibility and its consequences.

“美国黑人”的“人类病理学”:人类学、遗传学和新的种族科学,1940-1952。
这篇文章记录了在20世纪40年代和50年代初,一个科学上不可信的种族主义假设,即以“美国黑人”为代表的“杂交”概念,与退化和疾病有关,再次被科学重新认可,通过人类学、医学和遗传学在特定疾病——镰状细胞性贫血的背景下的话语融合。更具体地说,我关注的是后来被称为“美国黑人”的“人类病理学”的构建,它所处的话语网络,它的可能性条件及其后果。
