医学社会学和生物体：我们现在在哪里以及我们将走向何方？
作者：

在这篇文章中，我提出了一个问题，“在今天的医学社会学中，生物体在哪里？”文章的第一部分提供了一个选择性的身体平衡表，我们现在在医学社会学，特别是社会建构主义和现象学的方法和他们各自的立场或采取（生物）的身体。接下来的部分考虑了我们在未来将生物体（带回）的有益方向，以及这对整个社会学事业提出的更广泛的问题。与此相关的各种问题不断发展的项目和其他最近的方法，如翻译社会学的优点，被认为是。文章最后对这些问题进行了进一步的思考和反思，包括根据这些争论重新审视身体社会学与医学社会学之间的关系。
In this article I pose the question, ‘where is the biological body in medical sociology today?’ The first part of the article provides a selective corporeal balance sheet of where we are now in medical sociology, with particular reference to social constructionist and phenomenological approaches and their respective stances or takes on the (biological) body. The subsequent section considers where we might profitably be going in the future in terms of bringing the biological body (back) in, and the broader issues this raises for the sociological enterprise as a whole. Various problems associated with this evolving project and merits of other recent approaches, such as the sociology of translation, are considered. The article concludes with some further thoughts and reflections on these matters, including a revisiting of relations between the sociology of the body and medical sociology in the light of these debates.
