纵观历史，头发一直是个人与社会之间关系的有力象征，表示宗教信仰，并作为社会，文化和政治现状的象征。脱发通常被认为是个性和吸引力的丧失，与这些领域的地位缺失有关。脱发对接受癌症化疗的妇女的影响主要是由卫生专业人员探讨的，重点是其心理影响。本文着眼于妇女的经验与脱发引起的化疗在丹麦的背景下。它借鉴了一个人种学实地研究，包括在丹麦的三个住宅癌症康复课程的参与观察，随后深入采访了一些妇女和检查的书面来源。这些女性将脱发等同于女性的丧失、疾病和死亡，并使用假发和化妆来尽量减少这些影响。分析表明，妇女的具体经验是如何渗透的文化嵌入式的迹象，以及如何癌症康复是不太关心总恢复的意义上的“被治愈”，而不是正常化和整合个人在个人和社会背景。
Throughout history hair has universally been a powerful symbol of the relationship between individuals and society, denoting religious affiliation, and has acted as a symbol of the social, cultural and political status quo. Hair loss, which is often perceived as a loss of individuality and attractiveness, has been related to the absence of status in these areas. The impact of hair loss on women undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer has primarily been explored by health professionals focusing on its psychological effects. This paper looks at women's experiences with hair loss induced by chemotherapy in a Danish context. It draws on an ethnographic fieldwork study comprising participant observation at three residential cancer rehabilitation courses in Denmark, subsequent in-depth interviews with some of the women and examination of written sources. The women equated hair loss with the loss of womanhood, sickness and death, and used wigs and make-up to minimize these effects. The analysis demonstrates how the women's embodied experiences are pervaded by culturally embedded signs, and how cancer rehabilitation is less concerned with total recovery in the sense of ‘being cured’ than with normalizing and integrating the individual in personal and social contexts.
