本文将印度商品化肾脏交易的民族志探索与印地语电影中的表达联系起来，因为面对父亲的死亡或减少，这种做法重新激活了亲属关系。为了思考这些器官故事所做的工作，我将“移植电影”与“输血电影”进行了对比。我认为，输血叙事提供了一个自由的发展主义的社会关系的重新编码下的尼赫鲁项目的国家承认的标志，而移植叙事放弃了一个想象的回归传统的发展项目。为了理解这种转变的利害关系，我通过识别和抑制之间的关系以及通过手术作为护理的转喻的回归来追溯现代移植医学的谱系。
This article links ethnographic exploration of commodified renal transactions in India to their articulation in Hindi film as practices re-animating kinship in the face of the death or diminishment of the father. To think through the work such organ stories do, I contrast the `transplant film' with the `transfusion film'. I argue transfusion narratives offer a liberal developmentalist recoding of social relations under the sign of a Nehruvian project of national recognition, while transplant narratives abandon the project of development for an imaginated return to tradition. To understand the stakes in this shift, I trace the genealogy of modern transplant medicine through the relationship between recognition and suppression and through the return of the surgical as a metonym for care.
