摘要

种族作为一个对临床实践没有意义的类别,在生物医学领域被先验地拒绝,在技术科学生产和卫生专业人员的日常实践中保持着缺席的存在。种族构成了一种基础设施,很少被批判性地对待,但在科学实践中可以作为支持证据。这似乎是生物医学技术的一个意想不到的影响,它实际上是围绕着白人的理想,它投射为普遍的。这暴露了生物医学技术在接触“其他身体”方面的局限性——那些没有被白色标记为对生物技术干预有抵抗力的身体。通过观察青光眼诊断测试中的超声表现,本文讨论了在巴西,白人、种族主义和技术“中立”是如何在诊断技术设备和健康干预的种族物质化中表达出来的。

“The guy is blind but appears normal according to diagnostic parameters”: a reflection on racism, whiteness, and the ‘neutrality’ of technology in the biomedical field in Brazil
ABSTRACT Rejected a priori in the biomedical field as a category that has no meaning for clinical practice, race maintains an absent presence that spans techno-scientific productions and the daily practices of health professionals. Race constitutes a type of infrastructure that is rarely treated critically and that can be given as supporting evidence in scientific practices. It appears as an unexpected effect of biomedical technology that is actually centered around ideals of whiteness that it projects as universal. This exposes the limitations of biomedical technology to reach ‘other bodies’—those that are not white – labeled as resistant to biotechnological intervention. By looking at ultrasound performance in diagnostic testing for glaucoma, this article discusses how whiteness, racism, and technological ‘neutrality’ are articulated in the materialization of race in diagnostic technological devices and health intervention in Brazil.
