近年来,社会科学和人文科学领域的许多健康研究经历了一个引人注目的,尽管绝不是连贯或全面的,向后人文主义理论方向的“转向”。本文回顾了伴随这一转变而来的关于健康出现的激进观点,注意到被理解为总是在发挥作用的核心过程。特别是,虽然承认并非所有的人文主义思想都在这项工作中被拒绝,但它描述了一些人是如何以“非完全意识”和“超越人类”的方式被重新设计和扩展的。本文对这些不同的文献进行了评估和综合,强调了对物质、物质、组合、关系、活力和情感的新理解,这些已经成为它们的鲜明特征。
In recent years much health research across the social sciences and humanities has undergone a noticeable, albeit by no means cohesive or comprehensive, 'turn' towards a posthumanist theoretical orientation. This paper reviews the radical ideas about health's emergence that have accompanied this turn, noting the core processes that are understood to always be in play. In particular, while acknowledging that not all humanistic ideas have been rejected in this work, it describes how some have been reworked and extended in 'other-than-fully conscious' and 'more-than-human' terms. The paper assesses and synthesizes this diverse literature, emphasising the novel understandings of corporeality, materiality, assemblage, relationality, vitality and affect that have become distinctive features of it.
