米歇尔·福柯的作品在社会科学和人文科学领域的接受程度是惊人的。福柯的概念和方法鼓励了对老问题的新方法,并开辟了新的调查路线。这本书评估了福柯的工作对健康和医学领域的研究和思考的贡献,并展示了健康和疾病社会学的主要研究人员目前如何参与他的思想。福柯,健康和医学探讨了这样的重要问题:福柯的“话语”概念,对“医疗化”命题的批判,对身体和自我的分析,福柯在健康教育分析中的“生物权力”概念,福柯思想对女性主义研究的启示,运用福柯的治理概念分析健康政策、健康促进和健康消费。福柯,健康和医学提供了一个'国家的艺术'概述福柯奖学金在该地区的健康和医学。它将为医学社会学、卫生政策、健康促进和女权主义研究领域的学生和研究人员提供重要参考。
The reception of Michel Foucault's work in the social sciences and humanities has been phenomenal. Foucault's concepts and methodology have encouraged new approaches to old problems and opened up new lines of enquiry. This book assesses the contribution of Foucault's work to research and thinking in the area of health and medicine, and shows how key researchers in the sociology of health and illness are currently engaging with his ideas. Foucault, Health and Medicine explores such important issues as: Foucault's concept of 'discourse', the critique of the 'medicalization' thesis, the analysis of the body and the self, Foucault's concept of 'bio-power' in the analysis of health education, the implications of Foucault's ideas for feminist research on embodiment and gendered subjectivities, the application of Foucault's notion of governmentality to the analysis of health policy, health promotion, and the consumption of health. Foucault, Health and Medicine offers a 'state of the art' overview of Foucaldian scholarship in the area of health and medicine. It will provide a key reference for both students and researchers working in the areas of medical sociology, health policy, health promotion and feminist studies.
