据世界卫生组织称,抗菌素耐药性是对公共卫生的最严重威胁之一。自20世纪50年代以来,现代养猪业一直严重依赖抗生素的使用。最近,关注公共卫生的专家更加直言不讳,经常批评养猪户对社会不负责任,拿公共卫生做赌注。丹麦养猪户因其相对较低的抗生素使用率而在国际上获得更新。然而,在丹麦,公众对农民的批评相对强烈。基于对30名养猪户和21名公共卫生专家的定性访谈,本文阐述了公共卫生专家认为养猪户如何威胁公共卫生,以及养猪户如何体验和内化与他们作为农民的生活有关的污名化。通过关注丹麦养猪户经历的科学专家以及当地社区的公开谴责,本文沿着现有的健康相关的污名化研究的路线进行。
According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance is one of the most severe threats to public health. Since the 1950's contemporary farming of pigs has been heavily dependent on the use of antibiotics. Recently, concerned experts of public health have become more outspoken, often, criticizing pig farmers for social irresponsibility and gambling with public health. Danish pig farmers are internationally renewed for their relatively low use of antibiotics. Nevertheless, the public criticism aimed at farmers is relatively strong in Denmark. Based on qualitative interviews with 30 pig farmers and 21 public health experts, this article sets out how pig farmers, according to public health experts, threaten public health and how pig farmers, according to the farmers, experience and internalize stigmatization related to their lives as farmers. By focusing on Danish pig farmers' experiencing public condemnation from scientific experts as well as in their local communities, this article proceeds along the line of existing research on health-related stigmatization.
