This dissertation project is a cultural analysis of the process by which traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is reinvented and transformed through its integration into biomedical mainstreams in China and the U.S. This study examines how transnational contexts shape the configurations of TCM at specific appropriate science in daily practices to negotiate their medical legitimacy. By conducting fieldwork among TCM communities in Shanghai and in San Francisco respectively, and by foregrounding the translocal nexus between these two locales, this project is both comparative and transnational. It will use participant observation, interviews, statistical surveys and archival research to compare the structure and practice of TCM at various medical institutions in Shanghai and San Francisco, and to trace how practitioners travel across institutional and national boundaries to forge translocal communities. This project aims to develop a processual, interactive model of culture which at once dislodges the primordialist representation of TCM, and looks beyond the `West` to analyze the production and practice of science. At a broader level, the study will shed light on the processes by which specific forms of knowledges, identities, and communities are produced in the increasingly transnational world.

该论文项目是对中国传统中药（TCM）的过程进行的文化分析，并通过将其整合到中国的生物医学主流中，并转化为中国和美国，这项研究研究了跨国环境如何塑造TCM在日常实践中特定科学中TCM的配置，以协商其合法性。 通过分别在上海和旧金山的TCM社区之间进行实地调查，并通过预示着这两个地区之间的跨界联系，这是比较和跨国的。 它将使用参与者的观察，访谈，统计调查和档案研究来比较上海和旧金山的各个医疗机构的TCM的结构和实践，并追踪从业者如何在机构和民族边界跨越机构和民族边界旅行。 该项目旨在开发一种文化的过程，交互式模型，该模型立即驱散了TCM的原始主义代表，并超越了“ West”来分析科学的生产和实践。 在更广泛的层面上，该研究将阐明在日益跨国世界中产生特定形式的知识，身份和社区的过程。
